I’m very excited with the launch of bbpress as plugin. 
I hope we can enjoy it soon in a alpha state in order to update it easily. For me only one matter is pending and is that:
“The goal is for the bbPress plugin to include these pages as WordPress page templates and short-codes, to allow for maximum flexibility in configuring your site. “
With that I will start to develop my own forum.
So, thanks and keep up the great work!
@rootside – Placeholders for the login and registration pages are in the current bbp-twentyten theme, but they don’t work yet. The goal is for the bbPress plugin to include these pages as WordPress page templates and short-codes, to allow for maximum flexibility in configuring your site.
I have completed the first tutorial, but when I log in on wordpress, I am still not logged in on the forums.
I tried the Deep Integration on the Theme Matching tutorial, but when I do so I get an error on line 15 of the bb-config file.
My bb-press and wordpress are in the same database and the locks are on the salts, auth codes, etc.
Any help?

Hi Michael,
Looking at your website http://scopedin.com/bbpress/ it seems you managed to resolve all the issues above.
Can you post the codes you finally used?
I am having exactly the same issue.
Thanks
Where? In the codes or when you install bbpress?

hi paul;
I had a problem on this plugin. the biggest problem is I get some codes at the top of the page. and this chance all the view. how I can solve it…
the codes starting with
getAllStatuses(); $renderer = get_active_status………
and ending with
DefaultStatusInterpreter(BUSY_THRESHOLD)); topic_icons_register_status_renderer(‘default’, new DefaultStatusRenderer()); } topic_icons_init(); ?>
how I solve it….
can you help me…
The plugin will have shortcodes and widgets to attempt to ease people in to integrating bbPress into existing themes, but because you can’t easily introduce completely new functionality into a theme that isn’t designed to handle it, there will be limitations to that method.
For the most mileage, you’re better off copying the files out of the bbp-twentyten theme and into your existing child theme and modifying the HTML and CSS to taste. (You are using a child theme, right? )
Topic and reply counts are next on my list of todo’s. They are the biggest source of confusion right now, justifiably so.
hi everybody!
I downloaded the pre-alpha bbPress plugin and it doesn’t work 
I added some codes to bbpres-functions to make it work:
add_filter(‘init’,’flushRules’);
function flushRules(){
global $wp_rewrite;
$wp_rewrite->flush_rules();
}
and then I realized that the plugin is useless at this stage )))
Okay there are two different people in this conversation.
But no, you cannot change the post order in a topic, at least not correctly and consistently. bbpress internally uses post-position and hard codes the post order.
The system would have to be redesigned.
My user-wall already avoids this problem and allows posts in any order and any spinoff I might create from bbpress will also have this ability.
But for now, no bbpress can’t do that correctly.
If you want all links in your posts to be nofollow, you have to use post_text instead of post_author_link
Here you go
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: My own tweak for my forums
Plugin URI: https://bbpress.org/
Description: Fine tuning codes for my forum
Author: Your name
Author URI: http://www.myforum.com/
Version: 0.1
*/
add_filter(‘post_text’, ‘bb_rel_nofollow’);
?>
I guess that’s what most people want to do
It looks like I am missing something – when I changed post count on original thread from 81 to 80, all post numbers shifted and #24 is no longer missing. But anyway, I am OK with missing numbers, at least it lets people know where their posts are.
How can I check why my bbpress does not recount posts? Where is that function? I was messing around with some PHP and template codes (to ‘join’ forum to the page) so maybe I have done something…
I agree/disagree with you on that, however
what other way is there? I have 100 active sites that get a lot of emails and without captcha there is no way I could keep up. Some of them got 500 spams a day. Captcha instantly fixed it and I still get just as many emails from customers asking questions if not more. To me it separates those that are truly serious and those that are not. If typing 4 extra letters makes you decide not to post then you really are not serious are you?
I did my own test and there was no difference. I simply the signup form to make up for it.
If there is another way I would surely do it. All mine are just 4 digit, so some get past it, but it stops 99%.
I like the one that is numbers eg: 2+7 = and then you just put in 9.
not sure if it is worth a hoot. Assuming not as I do not see them very often.
I do appreciate the feed back and the consideration. I definitely want my users to have a pleasant experience.
I have a major site that I gets mega traffic on and mega questions so I was hoping to integrate this, but I would be worried I might delete accounts that I mistake for spam that are not. The sign up of any new forum is a task, so I do not think an extra 10th of a second for a captcha code would make people go anywhere else.
It is the huge captcha codes that are nerve wrecking. Especially when you cannot get them to work. Even Google down sized theirs to 4 digits on adwords.
I am in no way a “bad” moderator a busy one yes.
I really appreciate your help. I know everyone is busy, and I appreciate the responses.
Wouldn’t a simple solution be to add a captcha key when they sign up as a user? I am by no means a programmer, and really just impressed myself that I could install bbpress with my wordpress, but it seems captcha codes work pretty good.
Maybe someone can make a plug in for it?
Chris,
Thanks for staying on top of this.
The answer is “No” to your first question. I can get a BLANK forum page at http://website.com/forum/ using 2 codes…
The first way you already know:
require_once(‘/home/content/08/123456/html/website/wp-load.php’);
The second way was mentioned in my 3rd post (Item #1) above:
require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/../wp-load.php’);
# 1. The interesting thing is, from what I can tell, the second way looks EXACTLY like the way the code is “supposed” to look as suggested by most deep integration instructions.
# 2. I will look into possible 500 Internal Server error log and I’ll gather the info (screen shots) you requested and post.
# 3. In the meantime,
“wp-config.php” location (“html” = server directory): html/website/
“bb-config.php” location (“html” = server directory): html/website/forum/
And “website forum” URL address location: http://website.com/forum/

Again, appreciate your assistance whether we get this thing going, or not. We will!
ps – No, the website is not confidential, just not ready for viewing and don’t want to broadcast it; has a lot of “placeholder” stuff that I haven’t read.
how can the wordpress admin username/password be used in bbpress login and log in successfully (globally)
also how can the bbpress (if necessary) be used to successfully log in to wordpress and have the global admin?
same for users, which i haven’t tried yet
i’ve setup these (codes removed)
wp-config.php:
define(‘AUTH_KEY’, ”);
define(‘SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, ”);
define(‘LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ”);
define(‘NONCE_KEY’, ”);
define(‘AUTH_SALT’, ”);
define(‘LOGGED_IN_SALT’, ”);
define(‘SECURE_AUTH_SALT’, ”);
bb-config.php:
define( ‘BB_AUTH_KEY’, ” );
define( ‘BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, ” );
define( ‘BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ” );
define( ‘BB_NONCE_KEY’, ” );
i copied the corresponding ones to the bb-config.php one
when i log out of bbpress wordpress is still logged in..
@kevinjohngallagher thanks to tease me.. I’m well aware about your attitude..
I’m not a web programmer who can write code…If I able to write code then why I wrote on bbpress? If I bumped my post then you’ve any problem mate?
And I’m really afraid to tell you that …the links you’ve mentioned still not solved…It worked on localhost but not in live…
So I’ll make another post about it and then tell you that, is it good to say people on forums to write their own codes… really bad
If you want it like this site…. An easy way to do it is…
the front page of the default theme is broken into two parts.
If you open front-page.php serach for these div codes, everything on the left is between “id=”hottags” role=”main””
Everything on the right is between “div id=”discussions”” JUst move what you want in them.
All you have to do is adjust the width/margin of both css styles.
style.css (line 285) #front-page #hottags for the left side change the width
style.css (line 293) #front-page #discussions change margin left to be 20px more than what you pick for the left column width and the width to fit.
(Why doesn’t this site have a demo on bbpress! I hate changing my theme back to default to answer questions!)
If you want the code tag to keep working but disable backticks, you’ll have to make a filter that encodes them into a html entity (&#96;) before it gets to bbpress’s filters.
I’m new to bbpress, having previously only used phpbb where all the codes are present as follows:
Italics:
Bold:
So on and so forth. But these codes aren’t working for me on bbpress.
What are the codes for formatting text on bbpress, ie. bold, italics, underline, centralising, changing the size, etc?
Or is there a plugin I can get so the text bar appears at the top of the page like it does on a phpbb forum?
Hi Kevin, the problem is my header and footer are running a lot of custom codes for grabbing my subscribers and twitter counters for example. This information is grabbed from WordPress plugins that connect on Feedburner and Twitter API’s. I have also the problem that the blog uses a 960 grid system for the layout. I’m really unsure how to move the header and footer to my bbpress folder without crashing everything 
Morning Dudes,
duplication of ID for a start…
Maybe you could have said that instead of just typing” seriously? “.
The container having an ID is fine, but inside I’d suggest using classes.
Why? It’ll be unique on the page therefore an ID is by far the better options (quicker use of CSS selectors, much easier for the DOM, and also allows better integration with any JavaScript or Client side CSS changes).
But if all that is in that div is that ul, then the div may not be needed.
Container DIVs (at one level of geneology) are very very useful.
It allows quicker/better DOM iteration, and allows for much more flexible theming especially if dealing with floats, placements (relative/absolute), and really helps with backwards compatibility. I’m all for minimalist design and code, and I know that there is a cry to avoid “divitus” these days, but really having 1 wrapper div to allow you play with margin/padding/width combination really shouldn’t be frowned upon. Especially in software that hardcodes so much into it’s core, and really doesn’t like outputitng IDs or Classes.
Mzimmers, I’d still suggest putting the DIV in your theme instead of the ‘core’, just because I do believe that we’ll be upgrading to a new release relatively soon (i.e. within 2010).
Is there a way to define an “if” statement for the topics page. Here is what I am trying to do. I want the topic info/meta to be displayed on the sidebar. The sidebar codes are in the footer.php file which means that it will be displayed site-wide.
There is this line if (bb_get_forum_is_category()) : for categories, so I’m wondering if I can do something similar like “if this is a topics page, display so and so.” and if not it will be hidden.
How to resize avatar in topic view, i didnt find any size codes in style.css.
I want my forum look more like bbpress.org
