There is an answer here, https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/require_oncepathtowp-blog-headerphp
Saying:
Put in the full path from the server root instead of the relative path.
But I don’t know how to code it and what line to place it
this order: WP 2.3, bbpress 0.8 (no integration with plugins at that time!), WP 2.5, bbpress 0.9
I patently waited with integration until 0.9 was out since I did not understand the whole thing before. And everything seems to work fine. Just as soon as I add the WP_ prefix setting to my bbpress config, it seems as if bbpress can only access the WP users anymore (with the correct role mapping i set up etc.).
maybe I should just ask all registered users to reregister after integration, since the forum is pretty new anyway 
Sorry, I forgot I was talking about tags.php specifically. Here’s a tags URL.
http://www.riversideinfo.org/forum/tags.php?tag%3Dtif
is what’s in the sitemap.
curl -I "http://www.riversideinfo.org/forum/tags.php?tag%3Dtif"
returns a 302 header.
If you unencode it, and then curl -I:
curl -I "http://www.riversideinfo.org/forum/tags.php?tag=tif"
returns a 200 header.
Maybe it’s just the urlencoding of the = that causes it to redirect? That’s the only difference between the two URLs here.
Here’s an example of a URL in the sitemap.
http://www.riversideinfo.org/forum/topic.php?id%3D3%26page%26replies%3D1
If you do a
curl -I http://www.riversideinfo.org/forum/topic.php?id%3D3%26page%26replies%3D1 you get a 302 header back. If you URL unencode the URL and do a curl -I, you get back a proper 200:
curl -I "http://www.riversideinfo.org/forum/topic.php?id=3&page&replies=1"
I am not using permalinks or slugs, and that plugin author doesn’t seem to have updated it since I installed it long ago. I actually turned it off a while ago because of the amount of time it was taking to generate the sitemap for 5000 posts.
http://boakes.org/talk/topic/31
So, I guess the question is, why does that first URL trigger a 302? Maybe the sitemap plugin is creating URLs that are poorly formed?
I am not sure why Google would be seeing redirects. bbPress only redirects after form submits via wp_redirect to the best of my knowledge. Some plugins do too, but usually again after only form submits. Even tag URLs don’t use redirects.
Are you saying the sitemap plugin does not generate permalink urls but rather the non-slug type ie. ?topic=123 If so, it’s outdated and if you are using slugs it should be modified to generate results that take advantage of slugs.
bbPress has a function to check for administrators.
if (!in_array(intval($GLOBALS['forum']->forum_id), array(2,5,9)) || bb_current_user_can('administrate')) { do something here }
where 2,5,9 is the list of forum numbers you want to restrict
what you are trying to do is possible but very tricky
For example the “add new” on the front page offers all the forums for posting and you’d have to write a replacement for the list (bb_new_topic_forum_dropdown)
All the “magic” happens in post-form.php, so you could take that if statement above and wrap the entire template with that (in theory).
Find bb-templateskakumeifront-page.php (or the same template name in any alternate theme you might be using) and find the line that says
<?php if ( $topics || $super_stickies ) : ?> (around line 11) and make it say
<?php if ( 0 && ( $topics || $super_stickies )) : ?>
which will make the if statement always fail and never show the latest discussions. If you ever want to restore it, just remove the zero &&.
“Interesting design.”
Hopefully that’s a good thing, and not too interesting that it’s junk. 
Thanks for adding it to bbshowcase.
I had an e-mail saying that the latest bbpress broke my port, so I’ve done a re-release
http://www.linickx.com/archives/402/k2-for-bbpress-updated-v002
If bbPress and WordPress are in the same database then hopefully all you should have to do is add this line to your bb-config.php after the database definitions:
$wp_table_prefix = 'wp_';
Good question GoeffF, looks like it used to be here:
http://bbshowcase.org/forums/view/available-themes
But clicking on it just refreshes the page. Clicking on the author’s link takes you to a rather nebulous blog which for all I know has the code for the theme (if it’s even still the blog of the original guy) but good luck finding it.
Was there a legal issue with posting that theme? Did bbPress not approve?
Hi Chris,
It is a WP blog, I just call it a website as I’ve tweaked a tad to be more websitesque and not bloggy.
Thank you for your help
I had some spam to delete today, and realized that the “Delete” function still wasn’t working for the Keymaster.
I deleted the offending post and topic name from PHPMyAdmin, but I really don’t want to do that!
Can somebody help me troubleshoot this problem? The forum gets a decent amount of traffic, and there are a few trolls waiting in the wings.
This one had me stumped but I just figured it out. I should probably document the solve it here in case others encounter the same problem.
Like many people, I have bbpress installed in a subdirectory below wordpress:
/myblog/bbpress/
I also use the popular wp-super-cache plugin for wordpress. It turns out, you really need to add your bbpress directory to the list of rejected URI’s for wp-super-cache. For the above example, you’d want to add this line to the Rejected URI’s field:
/bbpress/
Otherwise, your bbpress board and the administration panel will be semi-randomly showing you old cached pages. Unsurprisingly, this can cause all sorts of strangeness including apparently activating/de-activating plugins, showing plugins that you’ve deleted, etc.

At least I’m not the only one with problems.
I have the plugin activated, and if you type the shortcut, the image does appear. But you can’t click on the image links to make them appear in your post.
Same behavior when I don’t check “remember me”. Logging in one logs me out of the other.
Note: I just today moved the site from a dev area at
coloradoboards.com/appleswitcher/wp/
to
appleswitcher.com/wp/
so further cookie path examples will reflect that.
In wp-config.php, there is this line:
define('SECRET_KEY', 'put your unique phrase here');
Whatever value you have there is what you need for bbPress.
For WordPress address and Blog address, log into your WordPress control panel and under “Settings” you will find these two entries. Whatever is here is what you put into your bbPress installation.
They are entries three and four I believe.
http://www.example.com/wp-admin/options-general.php#siteurl
http://www.example.com/wp-admin/options-general.php#home
I’m not sure why, but the file wasn’t there. Perhaps I inadvertently deleted it? I downloaded the install again and bingo, there it was. Uploaded it and the install went off without a hitch.
Conclusion? Bad user on device error.

Logging in to WP 2.5 logs me out of bbPress 0.9.0.1, and vice-versa.

…where xxxx is a not my username… just using that for security.
Thanks so1o, that’s the quick an dirty fix. That code uses jQuery methods, and jQuery is not available in topic pages.
It didn’t get picked up because that code falls back to non-ajax requests when it fails.
We are half way through removing all prototype in favour of jQuery, and this snuck under the radar.
Looks like you got the $bb_table_prefix wrong when you installed, it should have been different to the wordpress prefix.
Change $bb_table_prefix from “wp_” to “bb_” in bb-config.php then rename you bbPress tables thusly:
wp_forums -> bb_forums
wp_tagged -> bb_tagged
wp_tags -> bb_tags
wp_topicmeta -> bb_topicmeta
wp_topics -> bb_topics
.
Do not rename wp_posts, wp_users or wp_usermeta!
This will still leave you without a bb_posts table. So if you have a way to browse your database (e.g. phpMyAdmin) then go into the bb_topicmeta table and look for the row with a meta_key of bb_db_version. Change the meta_value of that row from 1234 to 1233. Login to your bbPress (hopefully it works) then go to the admin section. You will be asked to upgrade, do so and check the log. You should see a log entry where your bb_posts table is created.
That should do it.
I fixed the error by adding
<?php bb_enqueue_script('jquery'); ?>
just before
<?php bb_enqueue_script('topic'); ?>
in header.php in the theme
I’m sure this ISNT the proper solution, heh, but since it worked I thought I’d point it out.
After Step 1 failed many times, I set out to debug it. My travel took me here:
bb-includes/db-mysql.php
$this->$dbhname = @mysql_connect( $server->host, $server->user, $server->pass, true );
if (!$this->$dbhname)
return false;
That was failing and returning false everytime. I couldn’t figure it out. I printed out the hose and user and password, and it looked good. I could connect just fine from a shell prompt.
After confirming that it actually WAS connecting, and that it was simply the lack of $this->$dbhname that was causing the failure, I just commented out the return false; and VOILA! It worked! Installation finished and I can post messages, etc, etc, everything seems fine.
Soooo… What’s up with that?! hehe. $dbhname was == ‘dbh_local’.
Not sure what other details I can provide. Just thought I’d share the rather strange experience and oddness that I’d have to hack the db_connect code to get the install to complete… Weird!!
Let’s say “A good image upload plugin is needed”. I agree with that. A good image upload system is a must for some communities and not for some.
There’s no need to discuss why some users need image uploading and some not. I’ll be migrating a very large community to bbpress in a few months. The only reason for us to migrate to bbpress is its code base; it’s extendable and very easy to use. So we will write custom plugins to our specific needs.
Yes, bbpress needs a very good image uploading plugin just like worpdress’s akismet plugin; developed seperately as a plugin. There are some good bbpress plugin developers over here, so what we need to do is just to donate some money. This kind of plugin will take bbpress one more step ahead.
