Flatworm, yes, they should use the same database if you want integration.
And I thought we covered the graphics not working, which is likely due to a path issue on localhost, in your other thread.
Regarding “debugged”: it is debugged, but as I stated before, all software has bugs, and you also need to accept the fact that you are using beta software.
Also, I have offered to help you off list but I have not heard from you…
Fixed it by reinstalling everything, including the db.
I’m having a similar problem.
I’ve uploaded my custom theme to /my-templates/mytheme
The default theme is in /bb-templates/kakumei/
The site is working fine, but I see this error: “Theme not found. Default theme applied.” And I cannot switch to my custom theme. The reason is in the URL to the custom theme in the presentation>themes panel:
http:// forum.mybbpress.com/bb-admin/themes.php? theme=C:\WWW\PUBLIC\forums.mybbpress.com/ bb-templates/mytheme/&_wpnonce=36ec0251eb
Obviously that URL won’t work. I’ve uploaded both plugins above. Neither worked. How do I fix the URL to mytheme?
Cannot select DB.
Why graphics do not work?
Very strange. And you call this a debuged version?
Do I need to make bbPress use same DB as WordPress?
What do you mean by manual?
You have to change some settings in config.php, but that’s it. Nothing a monkey with a keyboard and a human to do the work for him couldn’t do … really, it’s simple. 
No editing code or the like. Even if it’s in a different subdomain you barely have to do anything.
Certainly doesn’t sound as much work as installing Vanilla – bbPress is set up to use mostly the same tables as WP already …
While it sounds like somewhat useful functionality, I don’t want it – if it was enabled by default in bbPress, I’d even want to turn it off. Anything that means users can just visit once, know that they’re going to get any answers and never have to come back is that you’re going to get a lot of users who do just that. I would much rather they check regularly, sometimes see something that catches their eye and hang around … It just sounds like a feature that hinders a community building up. 
It looks broken to me. Even the second link gives an error. I’d go and recount everything (there’s an option somewhere in the admin pages). I don’t know if that will solve anything, though, it’s just a wild guess.
It requires alot of pain in the *** to install Vanilla on WordPress.
I do not want to do it manualy.
<b>Does this thing require a manual hookup?<b/>
Does it still have the bug that had to be solved by editing the code?
I’m very sorry to hear that. The problem is most probably in the script; as I said, I’m a complete newbie to php and databases, and just modified the script without really knowing how much of it worked. The only thing I can say is: have you deleted all occurrences of ut8_encode? There are more than one. Also utf8_decode may give you problems, but I don’t think they’d be the ones your seeing.
Is there any chance that I could get a dump of your database? (A fake one, with russian characters in fake posts and fake users from SMF in the same conditions as the real one, so that I can play with it here.) If so, please send it to antiswen at yahoo dot es (yep, es, not com). Oh, and please zip it or something so that yahoo doesn’t mess with the text.
It does not help. Maybe it is a bug of bbpress 0.81 or this script. Or mine.
http://www.subike.com/forum/
It shows -1 posts in one category, and 0 in the others.
But I have one post here
http://www.subike.com/forum/topic.php?id=3&page&replies
I removed all plugins, and re-uploaded all .81 web files. Still the same.
This thread is related:

Looks like 3 days ago member:pravin was trying to see if this would work with .81. Maybe you can post in that thread or contact that member?
@ardentfrost
Thank you. I am going to check the plugins for my needs and just have to find someone to fix my kitchen sink 
I made Japanese translation for bbPress.
I translated using trunk.
Please see the following file.
http://oss.poyo.jp/pub/contribute/bbpress/2007-02-20/bbpress-svn-trunk-20070220.tar.gz
Thanks.
bbPress isn’t for someone who wants a program that can do everything including fixing your kitchen sink. It’s for people who want a slim, quick forum software that is highly customizable. You certainly have a good many plugins to choose from already, and the number is constantly getting bigger… for instance bbPress doesn’t come with stuff like private messaging, but you can easily install it using a plugin that some really smart guy created. But then if you feel that PMs aren’t needed in your forum, then you don’t have to install it and that choice causes your forum to stay trim instead of being bloated with features you don’t need.
However, if you feel you need everything packaged with phpBB, I think your choice is already made.
And to answer your questions:
1. I’m not sure, but I do know that a lot of different languages have been added to bbPress… you just have to install the correct files and I’m not exactly sure if there is a repository of them
2. Yes
3. The admin area is very slim with few options. Customization comes from theming and plugins. Plugins have the capability to add options to the admin pages (though none of mine do that yet… it’s on my docket)
@amethystdrag
Thank you for helping me. I am stuck between going for phpBB that has all the things I need, plus I have worked for phpBB on another site for 3 years. Or going for bbPress.
I can answer the second question – Yes there is a plugin that will achieve that for you – its called bbPress Post and you can get it from http://dev.mbzeus.net/ – it goes in as a plugin on the WordPress side
Can’t help you with the others though I’m afraid
Does bbPress also come with a Dutch language file?
It is possible to intergraded the blog in such a way that blog articles are automatically created within the forum?
Is there a admin demo area live online, where the back office functions can be seen?
After a search for a word that appears only in the topic title (but not the tags, nor post content) the results are listed, followed by:
No results found.
This is because the if statement is looking for the local variable $topics, instead of the correct variable $titles.
It’s a small fix, but I didn’t know how to post on the bbPress bugtracker.
Thanks for your reply Sam… Yeah, for the most part at least lol. Only thing I can’t seem to get working for me though, even followed your instructions over here:
https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/520#comment:30
Is applying a “patch” using SVN access… I’m on dreamhost, but, I go through the: START > RUN > CMD …. then login that way… I tried adding that line of code, and even uploaded the patch to my forums/ root directory.. used that:
$ patch -p0 < /path/to/patchfile/categories-build701.patch
Giving my path of “/public_html/forums/categories-build719.patch
And it fails to find such thing in that directory? I’m not a Pro at SVN-ing yet, but anyone with any thoughts, suggestions, and so forth? I was just going to download the lastest SVN files to the Desktop like normally did, and apply patch via Tortoise SVN.. and only upload those “patched” ones… into the forums/ root..
Does that sound like it’s my only option, or.. maybe someone can tell me for sure what to do, and how to do patches via SVN or whatever.. Thanks in advance..
*EDIT* Oh, or does it mean the WHOLE path? I’ll give that a whirl once then, won’t hurt lol.

It requires you to create a file called .htaccess and place it in your bbpress root folder. Most works with just the following in it:
Options +MultiViews
Once you have that in your .htaccess your can turn mod_rewrite on in the config.php and see if it works. If not, try taking that line out of the .htaccess and put whatever you have spit out of this file:
http://chezmauricekusadasi.com/yeni/forum/bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php
Then turn that with mod_rewrite on. If that doesn’t work, then it most likely isn’t going to I am afraid and you will have to turn the fancy URL’s off again!

What are you trying to install bbPress on? php and mySQL on a unix, windows, mac, etc? Here is a common issue with installing on a MAC and is the database a localhost installation? If you could give us a bit more we should be able to work towards a solution for you! Check to make sure you have all the correct information in your config.php because it isn’t able to see the database that you are putting in it.
Trent
I am having this same problem at install, “Cannot select DB.”
I have only bbPress and not wordPress, so mine is a simple setup.
Any ideas on what the problem could be?
