Unfortunately, Detective’s solution doesn’t work with the latest versions. I’m experiencing the same issues (integrated scenario):
User registers on bbpress and logs in there
User can acces the WP Site Admin section, but it says: Welcome, . (a space instead of the user name)
User comments are registered as ‘Anonymous’
I noticed the only way to fix this is to go to WP user management panel, editing and saving the user.
So the user has to be actively (and manually 
) updated to have his name listed under his comments.
I haven’t found any way to avoid this, but if anyone can I’d be much abliged!
Since the latest Trunk changes (Changeset 8069) in WordPress Core, the bbPress Login (if shared with WordPress) is not working anymore.
I think its because of the logged_in cookie, isn`t it?
I know, trunk.. but 2.5.x will sure come soon 
Have a nice day
Chris
Again, thanks for the advice. Looking forward to playing with the new version 
I just found it under the original skin. I switched to “blue,” but it’s strange how front-page.php stays. Thanks anyway, though. Let me know if there’s more about front-page.php other than the code inside it, like the option to move it to my template folder.
thousande, you have to create a new theme (under /my-templates/) and then edit the header.php file in your new theme so that it doesn’t have the stuff inside this loop starting with <?php if ( is_topic() && bb_is_user_logged_in() ) : ?>
Actually, I think that bbPress doesn’t even currently support AJAX posting, so all those files are unneeded.
Good luck!
To be able to call your WordPress header and footer, you will need access to the WordPress functions get_header() and get_footer(). To have access to WordPress functions, you need to include WordPress:

You can skip the stuff about user integration and cookies if all you want to do it include your WordPress header and footer.
Hello,
I’m new to WordPress and BBpress but I like the simplicity involved in using them. Currently, I have a wordpress site and a bbpress site that share a database. The wordpress site uses the Event Calendar plugin+widget to display its calendar and in the readme for Event Calendar I found the following:
Add the
following code to your sidebar.php:
Event Calendar:
<li>
<?php ec3_get_calendar(); ?>
</li>
Upcoming Events:
<li>Events
<?php ec3_get_events(5); ?>
</li>
If you are using an older template, then you should check that your HTML
header contains the following tag: <?php wp_head(); ?>
I’d like to add the Event Calendar to my BBpress sidebar; however, this solution doesn’t appear to work. Any ideas what I’m doing wrong?
the ads shows up something like this —>
GIF87a�����������f��f��0�����p������pp������� �����������fff��f��3������� @���@f����0��P������f3�����p���@�0�� ����p�����P�p��P�� �̙�p@�������ffp�33f��pp���f3p������f��00����33�@@
Interestingly, I copied and pasted your SQL query from above, and used it on my installation unchanged, and it did not error out, it just return the expected results.
SELECT t.*, MIN(p.post_id) as post_id, p.post_text, 0 AS search_score FROM bb_topics AS t JOIN bb_posts as p ON ( t.topic_id = p.topic_id ) WHERE t.topic_status = '0' AND p.post_status = '0' AND ( (t.topic_title LIKE '%ja%') OR p.post_text LIKE '%ja%' ) GROUP BY t.topic_id ORDER BY t.topic_time DESC LIMIT 20
See the results here.
This is an old bbPress installation as well, 1.0-alpha from over a year ago.
I’m sorry, did you try with Genealogías theme or another? Currently i’m hooking on a custom action (my bad, i know :p).
In your profile-edit.php template put the following code:
<?php
userphoto_display_selector_fieldset($user->ID);
?>
I hope it helps somehow. In my opinion, this is the best forum software if you’re a developer that wants custom forums and doesn’t mind getting dirty with code. At least that’s why I love it (I know, people will disagree with me).
I’ve never felt so in control of my forums before . Everything is just … clean, from the default UI to the insides.
Thanks a lot Detective.
But I can’t get the plugin to work. I have followed your instructions by uploading the user-photo foler into “my-plugins” directory and I made sure the paths are correct.
The plugin activated without any errors but i’m not sure how I upload a photo. There is no form to upload photos in user profiles, do I need to add some code manually to the template files?
Sorry to be a pain & thanks for your time
Will
[edited out a stupid idea]
WAIT: update 26 minutes later. If you’re not logged in, trying to access /bbpress/bb-admin/ is SUPPOSED to redirect you to the home page of the forum. When you log in there as keymaster or administrator, you then have a link to View your profile (Admin | Log out) – and in my installation, clicking Admin takes you to /bbpress/bb-admin/. You can also access the /bbpress/bb-admin/ URL directly, but only after logging in as keymaster. If that’s what’s happening, then that is correct.
Is it possible you can’t log in on the home page of the forum as administrator or keymaster? Did that account lose privileges or something? Maybe you have a different problem. But direct access to /bbpress/bb-admin is prevented by design until you are logged in.
For 3, from the Genealogías theme:
function gs_topic_forum_link() {
global $topic;
if ($topic) {
echo '<a href="' . get_forum_link($topic->forum_id) . '">' . get_forum_name($topic->forum_id) . '</a>';
}
}
For the private forums, i do the following (considering only one private forum, having id 22):
add_filter('get_posts_where', 'ryuuko_staff_where_posts');
function ryuuko_staff_where_posts($where) {
if (!bb_is_user_logged_in() || !bb_current_user_can('moderate')) {
$where .= " AND p.forum_id <> '22' ";
}
return $where;
}
add_filter('get_topics_where', 'ryuuko_staff_where_topics');
function ryuuko_staff_where_topics($where) {
if (!bb_is_user_logged_in() || !bb_current_user_can('moderate')) {
$where .= " AND t.forum_id <> '22' ";
}
return $where;
}
add_filter('get_forums', 'ryuuko_staff_forums');
function ryuuko_staff_forums($forums) {
if (!bb_is_user_logged_in() || !bb_current_user_can('moderate')) {
$forum_key = -1;
foreach ($forums as $key => $forum)
if (intval($forum->forum_id) == 22) {
$forum_key = $key;
break;
}
unset($forums[$key]);
}
return $forums;
}
add_action('bb_forum.php_pre_db', 'ryuuko_forum_redirect');
function ryuuko_forum_redirect($forum_id) {
if (!bb_is_user_logged_in() || !bb_current_user_can('moderate')) {
if ($forum_id == 22)
bb_die("You can't see this!");
}
}
I have found the trac website with the ticket for your records:
https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/779
Now I am thinking that we can achieve this easily:
0. create custom field for password (at first do not validate with an extra field)
1. get the registration function to create the account with the given username
2. get the password be follow through the function and pass it to a second call
3. the second call will really call the change-password function and will get the passed user defined password to the change-password.
4. the end.
Sounds simple but let’s see where our code is.
I’m using a functions.php file. It’s being loaded it in the header:
<?php require_once(bb_get_template('functions.php')); ?>
URL: http://alumnos.dcc.uchile.cl/~egraells/proyectos/plugins-para-bbpress/
Test Installation: http://www.ryuuko.cl/bbpress
Includes readme.txt with examples. It supports english and spanish (es_ES).
Hope you like it
Suggestions, bug reports, comments and feedback in general are welcomed
I made a few changes in the layout. I’ll release the theme tomorrow
Remember it needs some knowledge, because without customization (through plugins) it’s kind of ugly …
We don’t know what your theme is, so we don’t have enough info to answer this question. Please post a link to your site, and we’ll be able to help you out.
Ah brilliant,
Thanks so much for the clarification. I was getting the feeling that quite a few things had changed all right. The main development site has had quite a lot of work done so far, but on bbpress all I had really done was set it to use the header and footer from the WP theme.
It’ll be easy to dump it and start again.
Actually on that point. In installing the old version I stored the bb_press database tables in this site’s WordPress database, eg:
| bb_forums |
| bb_posts |
| bb_tagged |
| bb_tags |
| bb_topicmeta |
| bb_topics |
| wp_comments |
| wp_ig_caticons |
| wp_links |
| wp_options |
| wp_postmeta |
| wp_posts |
| wp_term_relationships |
| wp_term_taxonomy |
| wp_terms |
| wp_usermeta |
| wp_users |
Should I delete each of the tables prefixed “bb_” before continuing?
Cheers,
Alex
hi chrishajer
after your suggestion i tried to think of a diff way so i installed phpbb via fantastico on a different domain iimported the odl database and then looked through phpmyadmin to see if i could find the posts, success! exported as .csv file and now i have all the data and email addresses
thanks for your help!
Hi Guys and Gals
I have a very small phpbb database but not up and running as many problems i have installed bbpress everything is working fine! (except I forgot about moderation and akismet and within 27 mins of going online it had four spam comments )
Is there a way I can just see the posts from that phpbb database and then i will copy and paste into my new bbpress installation?
or is their an easier way? I have xampp runnin locally but tried to move the phpbb files and import the db using phpmyadmin but i get errors.
Like i said its a v small database and I just need the post text!
Thanks in advance
Roger
This sounds a past issue, yet I would like to add fuel to this thread. Please make me aware if there is already a plug in for this feature. I saw a note of _ck_ requesting this enhancement but I doubt it has gone through over these months yet.
To txrediakov: I want to enable the user to choose their password, not because of email anymore but because I believe we cannot just deny our users this capability. It is expected in any reasonable website that the user can type her own password.
To chrishajer: Good information. Now thinking logically: If one can display the password in a window returned after registration I think it could be possible to perform one additional step in the php code to take a password fetched from a custom field in the registration page, then take the bbpress generated password and replace it with the new value.
However, there is a slight problem. The user can only change her password after she is logged in. Granting the new user access to the account to post right away after registration may pose some kind of security thread to the system and to the accounts of all users. So how could we go about doing this without compromising the security of the system?
Please you are welcome to contact me as I need to work and solve this issue.
Encouragements,
As the code stands at the moment, it is a little too easy to lock yourself out. There may be a cleaner solution, but the following worked for me:
Try to login to BBPress with the WP admin. If that fails to give admin access to BBPress, the user mappings were either not set, were set at the wrong stage during integration, or were set such that nothing mapped to the Keymaster.
Backup the database (just in case a bad situation accidentally becomes terminal while you’re trying to fix it).
Using SQL access to the database (eg PhpMyAdmin), open up bb_topicmeta and delete the last few lines with meta_key starting wp_. That should reset everything, allowing you to get back into BBPress on the old Keymaster account and start again.
I found the order in which the integration settings were applied was critical. Your mileage may vary, but for me that was:
- Edit User role map (ensure Admin is linked to Keymaster), and save.
- Add “wp_” under User database table prefix and save.
- Hit the User role map button again.
- Finally complete the cookie setting and save.
