I have WP installed already and running. I would like to try out bbPress.
Do I have to create a new database for bbPress?
or
Do I refer to the wp database in the config.php?
Hello, I am importing phpBB posts into a new bbPress forum, which will be integrated with WordPress. How can I do this with the least bit of headache? Thanks a ton!
Thanks teknoseyir! I was having this same issue and your solution worked great.
I’m trying to integrate bbpress with wordpress using a theme i created. The problem is:
My wp theme uses mootools. BBpress uses prototype. When I’m trying to include my template headers, neither my mootools, nor bbpress prototype functions are working.
Please help me with a solution. Of course, I can just disable thoose functions. But the second questions I got is:
Does bbpress really needs those ajax libs? Can’t those just be replaced with a smaller js function (used only for ajax http request, if this one is the only one bbpress uses so far)?
Please help!
Ohh, I forgot to tell that I’m using the mootools v1. The theme I’m trying to integrate both of them can be examined at http://www.e-stas.net/pm/
If punbb uses the same markup in posts that phpBB uses (the square bracket things) maybe a few changes to phpbb2bbpress can give you a direct conversion script. I could have a look if you provide me with a database dump from punbb. Also, if you are trying multistep conversions, there’s a script to go from SMF to bbPress
I think it would be really cool if there were a team working on writing importers to get as many people as possible involved with bbPress.
I read another topic that was trying to convert from punbb to BBpress and they suggested convert to phpbb then to bbpress, but I am having troubles converting to phpbb, It gives me errors when I try and convert the members list (the phpbb forums haven’t helped yet) so I was hoping someone could help me convert so I could get on to BBpress asap.
From what I see in topic 856, it seems I’m late again. Does your last message mean that everything’s OK now? I still don’t understand how the cache of 3 different browsers conspired against us, so maybe there’s a problem with the script. Maybe a recount is needed after use. Or it does something wrong to the database under some circumstances, I don’t know. I can say that I didn’t have your problem, but I’ve only tested with bbPress 0.74 and 0.80, and barely enough to have a feeling that it worked (posting after the import is one of the few things I tried). And all feedback I’ve had has come from this topic, so if it is something in the script, you were the first to notice.
I hope you keep that image up Chrishajer because I made a TRAC ticket based on it!

Alright, I just went ahead and remove those two things. I’m planning on working at the Gathering theme for bbPress now… Thanks again Sam for everything!

UPDATE: I’ve decided to remove my MediaWiki, or better known as the Codex. I merely installed it to play around, customize, and get familiar with it.
The whole reason for removing it is, I really don’t have the time for it. I don’t have time to add anything to it, make a theme for it, and customize it anymore.
As for this article, it’s still a good reference guide as what To-Do for getting your MediaWiki, bbPress, and WP login/registration working together.
I hope you find it as useful as I did. Well, I guess that’s it for now. Tata.

Hi Trent,
hope you don’t mind but I just posted a few AMP href examples on your forum. There’s no reason bbPress feeds can’t become fully fledged pod/vidcast feeds, all you need is enough Quicktime content and mp3’s which AMP makes possible.

Thnaks. I also just have to sit down and look at it.
Sorry about that drmike! Aditya is on business and will be back by the end of the week! If Sam doesn’t see this post, he said he would work on it when he arrives home! Sorry for the inconvienience.

ok, after i will try with swfobject but i have already install Tinymce editor.
I can see correctly the editor but when i try to insert new post bbpress said me: “You need to actually submit some content!”.
If i can edit already insert post i don’t have error…
sorry for bad english 
Thanks
I meet all requirements in Localhost…
I make a login with my user, and them appear the Admin Screen of bbPress….
the problem is… when I click in any link in the admin, the follow erro appear:
“Not Found
The requested URL /forum/bb-admin/content.php was not found on this server.”
but I see !!! the FILE it’s in my localhost in the place that should be !
so, why this error ?
I am having a nightmare with modifying bbPress links. I want to switch from PHPBB to bbPress and keep my links.
I’ve manage to do some changes to the permalinks and found them in:
bb-includes/template-functions.php
– function get_forum_link – create forum link output but do not interferes with pagination
– function get_page_number_links – paggination???
bb-includes/template-functions.php
– function bb_get_uri_page – paggination links
– bb_repermalink – create forum link output and gives an useless and annoying 301
Am I missing something?
no it’s something i wrote using php sessions, i just need bbpress to see the members as logged in, i can hack the rest i think.
Still can’t get those icons to show up though.

The Allow-image plugin seems to have some problem. It cannot work properly on my bbpress 0.8.1. After I type <img src=”what ever” /> and then reedit the post, then tag
will become
<img />. I think it due to the rmove_filter (“pre_post”, “……”); in the plugin. Anyone has the same problem ? Thanks
Conversely, if you love the feature so much, simply add the plugin. The majority of bbPress users were not using the software as a support forum, so it was moved to a plugin. That’s all. I agree with the author’s decision to remove it from the core.
But I love this feature.
That’s the whole reason why I chose this script.
If you hate the feature so much, why don’t you edit your template’s topic.php file and remove the corresponding code.
This usually means that you have mod_rewrite equals true in your config.php, but don’t actually have the .htaccess file for them to work. Go back to your config and change that to false to make sure it works again. After that, you could check out:
