BBPress seems to use the kind of cookie that resides on the user’s machine unless they actively log out.
Can anyone help me modify/ add custom code (or point me to a useful plug-in 
) so that its lifetime is limited to the session only?
Also, should I be using something like session_cache_limiter(‘nocache’) for further privacy, or is this already taken care of?
I have recently installed the excellent Private Forums plug-in as an alternative to using the more cumbersome HTTP authentication method, which has prompted me to think about this potential security issue. Private Forums is only truly secure if the user remembers to log out.
I just wish they’d include the Forum Categories enhancement into .80 though lol. It sure Would Be NICE!!! LoL 
/It IS working just great by the way, I didn’t see any flaws with it..

hey,
i’m having a problem with integrating bbpress into my wordpress template. when you click on ‘add new’ on any forum page the layout looks fine, but when you click on ‘add new’ on the start page, then it messes up the layout. seems there is a stray closing div somewhere, which is only needed sometimes.
have a look here to see what i mean.
actually, if you scroll down i think you can see the same thing happening with the footer here
cheers, b
It is literally in the post right before you if I am reading this post correctly!

I have an integrated site with WP2.1 and bbPress .75. The server and production site are Apple Macs running os X. No Windows here, so this is my problem. Thus, I can not see the IE errors.
Will someone please post the CSS changes for Windows Internet Explorer? So the basic bbPress displays correctly in IE.
Leaving us already? I don’t think there is even an exporter for bbPress yet. If you can find a way to import into phpBB with RSS, you can just use the feeds from bbPress.

Is there a way to export the db entries from bbpress to phpbb2?
wow only 6 tickets left, and they aren’t too complexed.. perhaps a fast launch this week after all??

I was having the same issue at Forums4Bauer I am using a modified version of the bbPress forum template. One thing I did was widen the whole thing, but to get rid of the hidden long names I made the following changes to the style.css file in my-templates:
#thread {
background: #eee;
list-style: none;
margin: 0 0 0 110px;
padding: 0;
}
#thread li {
padding: 1.5em 1.0em;
line-height: 1.5em;
height:100%;
}
#thread li ol, #thread li ul {
margin-left: 60px;
height:100%;
}
.threadauthor {
margin-left: -140px;
overflow: hidden;
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
}
I also added:
.threadpost {min-height:120px;}
Unfortunately that doesn’t work in IE. I’m looking for a way around a problem I’m having where short replies overlap. That’s not typically a problem, but I’m using my Graphic Display Ranks plugin, and images that are taller than some of the replies.
Hope this helps.
I wish I were a mod so I could nuke the spammers!
Lmao! I know what you mean.. Trent just isn’t always here to do it sigh.

No problem zapata. To get rid of the register link, you need to download login-form.php from /bb-templates/ and then edit it as follows:
Change this part from:
<p><?php printf(__('<a href="%1$s">Register</a> or log in'), bb_get_option('uri').'register.php') ?>:</p>
to get rid of the register, you could just comment out this line or change the wording:
<! -- <p><?php printf(__('<a href="%1$s">Register</a> or log in'), bb_get_option('uri').'register.php') ?>:</p> -->
Once you have edited that file, upload it to a new folder (if it doesn’t exist already in root) /my-templates/ as bbPress will use that file first and if it doesn’t exist, go back to the one in /bb-templates/
As for the registering with WordPress, I was only referring to the abilitity to turn on or off registration in WP admin. If you turn it off, then you can add the members you want through the admin.
That should get you going!

Trent,
Today is my bbPress Independence day. Everything seems to be working just so smoothly. Removed register.php and Voila…
two questions:
(1) What file do I have to look in to remove the “Register” link on top of the page
(2)When you mention “People can still register using WordPress” do you mean the authors or me (admin) has to do anything “beyond” what I do to register authors in the admin section of WordPress
Since you are integrated with WP (I would assume), removing register.php from bbPress root directory would get rid of that particular issue. People can still register using WordPress or just added as members by you in the WP admin. That would be the easiest way.
Trent
That’s for bbpress .74 and up

require( BBPATH . 'bb-templates/front-page.php' );

add_action( 'bb_init', 'force_login_init' );

That will work.

Awesome! Thanks Sam! I’ll jump on all of this real soon. Thanks again!

Yep, and, even though Michael Adams made the newer version of the bbPress Integration plugin. Ryan Boren added two stubs in the 2.1 wp-includes/ folder, holding the same name as the original two.
So, these two calls:
require_once( ABSPATH . WPINC . ‘/registration-functions.php’ );
include_once (ABSPATH . WPINC . ‘/rss-functions.php’);
In any WordPress or bbPress plugins, you’ll still be safe! Inside those two stubs are:
registration-functions.php file:
<?php
// Deprecated. Use registration.php.
require_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . '/registration.php');
?>
rss-functions.php file:
<?php
// Deprecated. Use rss.php instead.
require_once (ABSPATH . WPINC . '/rss.php');
?>
Happy 2.1 Upgrading and bbPress Integrating peoples..

Just gotta put in my 2 cents. I know it’s not bbpress, but my son, Noah Darwin, has a wordpress blog … though it’s a bit out of date. And he’s only 15 months old.

I use the new site option plugin (which is easy and great by the way). I stole the admin page setup from private forums by Aditya Naik. My bbress board is tiny (testing only) so I imagine all sorts of stuff will pop up as it’s used on bigger sites. Thanks for your help.
The issue will be because the user that you have as an Administrator in WP is not the keymaster in bbPress. What you can do is check out the following:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/462?replies=4#post-2607
There is some good information in there on getting the account that is the admin in WordPress to also be the Keymaster (admin) in bbPress.

I have my wordpress and my bbpress installed and working together fine. The only problem is that I can reach my wordpress admin panel, but not the bbpress one. The deal I think is that there is some info missing from the wp_users table that makes it so bbpress can use it. Could anyone tell me how to fix this without having to re-install the entire thing.
