First thing’s first, you have a nice forum layout – I like the edits you have implemented. 
There are quite a lot of options for you, and which ever one you choose should not make your forum look to ‘full’.
As Chris said, if you want to do it on the front page, it would be as simple as copying the loops that are run on the profile.php file in my-templates. There should be two – but I’m not sure. Don’t have access to my server right now.
The other option is to create a view, just like The one’s displayed at the bottom of your front page. It would be quite a nice idea to create a view for the user’s latest topics and replies – thus having it on a separate page, but easy to get to as the view would be marked ‘See your Posts’, for example.
Now, unfortunately, I can’t help with the setting up of views (I would be able to if I had access to my server). At least you have some options on the table. There are some highly experienced members here that will be able to assist you in setting up a view.
Take care,
Michael
What version of PHP are you running? If you have PHP 4, then change mod_php5.c to mod_php4.c.
You should also ensure that zlib is installed on your server.
<ifmodule mod_php5.c>
php_value zlib.output_compression 16386
</ifmodule>
That didn’t work for me btw
Citizenkeith: does it work on your side? I’d like to try this soon.
Have you tried manually editing the theme itself? Try changing the code in header.php within the theme folder.
If it’s not that, it would have to be something with the integration (which I highly doubt) – I do not have enough knowledge with that as I’ve never integated before.
Happy New Year
Michael
I have a WP blog that I am adding BBPress to, it loads correctly I have it integrated with WP. When I try to add a custom theme to my-templates, it loads but when I look at the source code the file path for the style sheet, for the custom theme is going to bb-templates not my-templates.
I have checked the permissions for both my-templates and bb-templates and it is 755.
This is the source code:
<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”http://www.troubledteenblog.com/forum/bb-templates/Crystal/style.css” type=”text/css” />
<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”http://www.troubledteenblog.com/forum/bb-templates/Crystal/layout.css” type=”text/css” />
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://www.troubledteenblog.com/forum/bb-templates/Crystal/js/tabber.js”></script>
I even put the style sheet in the bb-templates/Crystal and it still does not work.
Help would really be appreciated.
Go to Admin Panel > Settings > Writing and edit it there.
Great job Gautam, I’ll try it 
You’re welcome. Happy new year with bbPress.
I deleted and re-created a subdomain and it worked; I got the bbpress installer
Thanks guys
i am testing now, please dont hate me

I have done a good few wordpress/bbpress cookie/log in integrations at this stage.
The easiest way I find to get it to work as expected is place the following in my bb-config.php
define('BB_AUTH_KEY', 'YOUR_AUTH_KEY');
define('BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY', 'YOUR_SECURE_AUTH_KEY');
define('BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY', 'YOUR_LOGGED_IN_KEY');
define('BB_NONCE_KEY', 'YOUR_NONCE_KEY');
define('COOKIEHASH', md5('Domain Name'));
define('BB_COOKIEHASH', md5('Domain Name'));
$cookiehash = md5('Domain Name');
define('BB_HASH', md5('Domain Name'));
and the following in your wp-config.php
define('AUTH_KEY', 'YOUR_AUTH_KEY');
define('SECURE_AUTH_KEY', 'YOUR_SECURE_AUTH_KEY');
define('LOGGED_IN_KEY', 'YOUR_LOGGED_IN_KEY');
define('NONCE_KEY', 'YOUR_NONCE_KEY');
define('COOKIEHASH', md5('Domain Name'));
Replace the KEY values with those generated here: https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/
Also i’m not sure which of the bbPress cookie bits is needed, I presume it’s only one of them.
Hope this helps.
Hi,
I’m trying to use an external database to connect users in bbpress…
1. The user fill in the form to connect.
2. The form check login + password in other database
3. If login/pass are good I check in bbpress to know if login exists :
if exists : connect
if doesn’t exist : create account + connect
Any ideas ??
If someone can help me it will be sympatic
thx.
ps : sorry for my bad english
I think a subscriptions.php can also be added to the templates like the favourites.php, where the user can edit the topics he/she has subscribed. And then the links to subscribe to topic can be prettier like the add this topic to your favourites one.
Very nice. Now, will it support Permalinks?
Nice to see some changes happening.
Peace, Michael
Might be worth checking out this plugin for ideas and/or code!

@Ben L … this is maddening because I know from your testing that it works fine. I also had my host get the guys at his data center run some tests (he’s also a good friend which helps) but they come back with this
Two of the engineers at the data center have run tests and looked at the logs and they have ruled any server side issues.
This is what they said in conclusion
At this point, I believe we can safely exclude obvious server side problems… If your customer has some concerns about missing .php modules, etc. (which they may confirm by creating a phpinfo page) we’ll be happy to address this, but so far we’re still not seeing a server side problem…
It is possible that the add-on may require more php modules installed but I would need to know more to go further
So I am at a real loss to figure out where to go next to try getting this to work. Very frustrating to say the least
Hello.
I have installed bbpress site map generator from: http://boakes.org/software/
My blog is in: http://www.emetaheret.org.il/blog
and My bbpress forum is in: http://www.emetaheret.org.il/forum
The blog sitemap is created using Google XML Sitemaps from: http://www.arnebrachhold.de/redir/sitemap-home/
Now, The sitemap plugin of the forum is erasing the one created by the blog plugin.
I have changed the variable for the sitemap code as follows:
// the full path the the file that will be written – write access
// is required so set up your user /group privilages correctly or
// remember to “chmod 777 $sitemap_file” before runtime.
$sitemap_file =”http://www.emetaheret.org.il/forum/sitemap.xml”;
but the file still get written inside: http://www.emetaheret.org.il and replaces the one created by the blog plugin.
I hope this makes sense.
Maybe, if there is no solution, you know about a good way for making good sitemap for my forum without interfering with the blog?
sorry for my English and
Thank you
I can’t find what’s wrong with it. The code is set to automatically make the folder when it needs it, so you shouldn’t have to worry about it unless your document root’s parent directory (which should technically be the folder above wwwroot) isn’t writable to your server. The quickest way to fix that is to make a bb-attachments folder in there and set its permissions to 777.
Also: Replace bb_register_activation_hook(str_replace(array(str_replace("/","\\",BB_PLUGIN_DIR),str_replace("/","\\",BB_CORE_PLUGIN_DIR)),array("user#","core#"),__FILE__), 'bb_attachments_install'); with bb_register_activation_hook( __FILE__, 'bb_attachments_install' ); to fix the database problem.
Hello,
We use bbPress as our forum on woothemes.com and users sometimes have a hard time finding their support query when they come back to the forum. I know you can click on your user profile and see it there, but most new users don’t know that.
Is there any code that we can use to add a list of the last 5 posts created by the user and place it on the forum index page?
This is how it looks now: http://is.gd/5GOQm
I’d like to add it either at the top above “Latest Topics”
I think this could be a “sticky” topic !
I don’t understand the need of having the forum in a subdirectory of the blog. As I did it years ago, I can’t change that now. I succeeded years ago to make a cookies integration plugin (that was before wp 2.6 I think), and I remember that the blocking thing was the “cookie path” and “cookie host”.
My WP is on http://www.2diabolos.com/blog/
my BB is on http://forum.2diabolos.com
(I hear you thinking “OMG, 2 different subdomains !!!”)
Now, I succeed to have the good “cookie domain” (I think the definition is the define( 'COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.2diabolos.com ' ); )
But the define( 'COOKIEPATH', '/' );does NOT work as it should. WP then define each of cookie twice with the “/” path and with the “/blog/” path (my WP path).
The straightforward consequence is that : When I log in WP, I’m also logged in BB (double cookies!).
But when I log out from BB, he deletes only the “/” cookies, so I’m still logged into WP.
Worse : when I’m logged only in BB (cookies path “/”), WP does not recognize me as logged in.
He only checks the “/blog/” path ? (even with define( 'COOKIEPATH', '/' ); in the wp-config.php )
Thank you! Thay was all the nudge I needed to check the file permissions on the my-plugins directory – they were wrong.
All fixed now
Checked from command line on Linux and it redirects if you don’t use the slash:

Can you access any other directories and get the index file instead of a redirect? Is there a way to ensure that index.php is the index file for the directory?
1. In the IIS Manager, double-click Default Document.
2. Click Add, then enter index.php and click OK.
