Personally, I have had issues with this as well. I would suggest creating a .htaccess file and place it in your bbpress root directory and only adding the following to it:
Options +MultiViews
That seems to work for most people. Try that first maybe? If not, maybe check what format you have in your WP .htaccess and try a combination of either the previous code or what rewrite-rules.php spits out for you.
Thanks,

Trent … thanks for the quick response …
i just found this post: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/378?replies=16
and that seems to have fixed it.
should I replace the contents of my .htaccess file with “Options +MultiViews”?
or leave as is?
thanks again.
You have permalinks set to true in the config.php, yet your .htaccess doesn’t know what to do with it, hense the errors.
Take a look at:

There is a (very young) bbPress Spanish community at http://www.bbpress.es/
Regards.
A friend of mine translated the .po and .mo into standard Spanish (es_ES), to use them in our forum. You can donwload the files from here: http://blog.pompilos.org/files/bbpress-es_ES.rar
YES! Thank you so much fixing this. 
Everything seems to be fixed, however, I’m still getting this database error message above the forum header..
When in a thread, and clicking the “PM This User” link, it spits out this database error message:
bbPress database error: [Table ‘mydatabase_name.bb_users’ doesn’t exist] SELECT * FROM bb_users WHERE ID = 2
I’ve tried both versions of the plugin, redownloaded the original one, and then tried the .73a one.. same error message..

This is the same on one of my servers. It doesn’t work either way, but Rewrite works with WP….strange.
I thought I was going crazy but thank you, it works for WP but not bbPress what is going on haha. Good Luck!
Yeah, thanks for helping me work through those few problems Trent (esp with your legacy version of php ).
WP Integration support is a big update for .73a, as well as the double header/footer fix.
So, download away BBPress users!
I think you are A OK on this issue! Good job!
Trent
PS….calling in recruits on permalink issues!
The new working version for integrated with WP and non-integrated sites will be updated in a couple of minutes! It should work for everyone now, but Ardentfrost could use a few more testers! If you are interested, just download it at:

My database is UTF-8. I also have the same database shares tables with WordPress and BBPress. WordPress does not have this problem. Though it happens with all apostrophes and quotation marks on BBPress – new posts and edits. With edits, it will keep adding slashes each time a post/thread is edited.
Any ideas where to look? I’d really like to get this solved.
BTW, what is the ‘PHP magic quotes issue?’

Have a look at this post. Noltice how the title have no carriage return until it is too late, and boom, it is already into the sidebar.
Ahh,
I logged OUT of my bbpress forums, then I logged INTO my WP blog at http://totalphysiqueonline.com/ and then went to my bbpress forum and BOOM, I was automatically logged. I did not even have to enter my info and press the login button. How cool is that!
I guess I did it right eh?
I tried my best to synchronize my bbpress forum with my WP blog the best I could.
Once installed, I examined my Database and noticed this:
bb_forums
bb_posts
bb_tagged
bb_tags
bb_topicmeta
bb_topics
wp_usermeta
wp_users
Do the last two tables mean that this install of bbpress is synchronized with my blog? Is there another way to make sure I did it properly?
I would change the timezone to reflect the server and not yourself so that freshness is right relative to the server. Until a fix comes, it makes the most sense because bbPress config.php timezone was setup for the server and not the users.
It is something that we need to visit in future versions or with plugins, but the freshness issue throws users for a loop!

Does anyone know of a way to modify bbPress so that tags can be separated by something other than spaces (such as commas). I’d like to have tags that can contain spaces, ie. Santa Claus as one tag instead of Santa and Claus
This mod adds AIM, MSN, Yahoo, Google Talk, Jabber, and Skype fields to your profiles. They are displayed when viewing the profile of a user.
It isn’t really a plugin, but… I didn’t know where else to put this.
Please let me know if you’re interested. I’ll post it soon.

I have thought about this a was thinking that it really doesn’t matter, but my preference would be to get the login integration with WP first if you are going to have it and this doesn’t apply to everyone because not everyone is going to sync logins with WP. The reason is that seems to be the hardest part and you have to have your key admin being the one you want and associated with the right user in WP.
Once you are ready to go, then test the import of phpBB becauase if it doesn’t go according to plan, you can just empty tables in bbPress and the hardcoding part for integration is still done.
Trent
IMHO, the best thing to do first is, make sure you’ve imported the phpBB stuff, into a fresh bbpress install, that doesn’t have the integration with WordPress.. then, integrate it with WordPress.. 
As is now, *some* people are still having problems with the bbpress+wordpress integratation deal.. again, IMHO.. I would just play it safe, by doing the phpBB (import) to a normal bbpress install first.. then go from there.. ?
Trent, what do you think?
spencerp
I’ve got my bbpress install (just a simple thing to test with) integrated into my WordPress database. I’d like to be able to import selectively for testing but no screw everything up — is that possible? I note that the script calls for importing into a FRESH NEW bbpress install.
You want all the tags the same size? That is what the second code you have means. I guess it doesn’t like having tags all the same size. For reference, check out:
