As long as you have your plugins in /my-plugins/ and your template folders in /my-templates/ then you should be able to go and just overwrite the files from the download into your bbPress folder. The download files don’t have the things you need to protect:
.htaccess
config.php
/my-plugins/
/my-templates/
As long as all your changed files are in the folders, you can go ahead and upload!

I have my template in my-templates and made some changes to
I’ve made some changes to some files. The biggest changes are to the template files. How should I update now and not to loose the changes?
Thanx.

I think it was narrowed down to integration with WP by member: baptiste.
I don’t know if it was solved yet or why it happens, but it seems like we’ve talked about it before.
if ( !defined('BBPATH') )
define('BBPATH', dirname(C:AllProgramingphp&mysql SERVERwordpressbbpress) . '/' );
require_once( BBPATH . 'C:AllProgramingphp&mysql SERVERwordpressbbpress' );
?>
Are this last lines correct if the path to my bbpress is: “C:AllProgramingphp&mysql SERVERwordpressbbpress” ?
Just tried renaming the plugins folder and doing a test post, and the same thing happened.
I’m running bbPress 0.8.0.
Around a week or so ago, I ported over an RS Discuss forum to bbPress (which is what you see right now). Did it using just SQL Queries, so I don’t think it should have effected anything in bbPress.
I’ve setup bbPress succesfully and all that good stuff, but now I have this weird issue. Any normally “escaped” characters are showing up in all my and my users posts.
Example:
http://onctalk.com/bbPress/topic.php?id=165&replies=1
Not a clue whats cuasing it, but its pretty annoying, so any help would be appreciated.
Also, if I attemp to edit the post, then delete the slashes, they just reappear again, and if I left any existing slashes, more of them appear to escape the new “/” that was written in my edit post. (Which is why you see ///” instead of /”).
*bump*
Does anyone know how this can be achieved without doing a custom query. (using built in bbpress or wordpress commands)
I think my problem is slightly different though since bbpress is incorrectly mixing the directory path with the URL and adding extra slashes.

I deleted all ut8_encode. You can see my script.

I don`t know spanish (yahoo dot es?), that is why i put it on my blog.
Download my script and SMF db
I just got about a dozen links to comments made on bbPress New Version Release posts on the front page of my wordpress dashboard. They are also appearing on planet.wordpress.org – I assume it’s a bug?
The TRAC version of bbPress has a fix in it that has it so Akismet doesn’t filter trusted users. The ticket is here. If you don’t feel comfortable upgrading at least the 2 files in question to the TRAC version, all you can do until this fix gets put in a release is set Akismet as false in config.php. I am not 100% if you can just take:
/bb-includes/akismet.php
/bb-includes/functions.php
Those 2 files out of changeset 722 and apply them and have this fixed, but I would backup those 2 files you have already and then try it out! If you are adventurous that is!

Have you entered all the right details in your config.php? Since you’re sharing databases it should have the same database info (name, user, password) as wordpress’s wp-config.php.
Yeah I call this a debugged version – Chrishajer sums it up nicely.
To fix this, i have uploaded all my files and directories without installing them on localhost… First, i uploaded wordpress to my web server and installed it then uploaded bbpress and installed it on web server…
… before of that “above” , i had installed both of them on my localhost then i had uploaded them to my web-server, but that moment i had problems with slashes. Because there is an confusing section about slashes between the normal windows and web server…
And i recommend that do not change the folder name of your “bbpress” after u upload it to your web server . I tried it two or three times after i installed both of my wordpress and bbpress on my web server, it caused slashes to head backwards…
Now i have solved all my problems 
forward to hearing from you with the same
(sorry for my english if i made any mistake, it is not my first language)
There has yet to be a user registration approval plugin and hopefully there is one soon! In the meantime, some users have been using the admin create user plugin so that they can turn off registration and only have the admin create users through the admin. This is the only thing even close right now!
Trent
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.
