Awesome, passing that on to my designer now. Thanks so much, you rock

P.S.
Updating to latest trunk now, and so far my “can’t post new topics” problem appears to have gone away.
@padams – Feeds a must, but since we hijack the normal flow of custom post type archives, they aren’t as straight-forward easy as I wish they were. They most likely will not make it into the first round of beta testing, but will make it into the 2.0 release.
Hi zaerl
Is it possible for you to send me the latest version of this plugin? It would be greatly appreciated.

I am moving my forum over from a Drupal 6 install to a WordPress 3 install.
Taking a look at this thread, it seems as if the bbpress plug-in is still being tested? Would you recommend this plug-in for a production site yet?
@tooltrainer – Looks like it’s working okay to me. Tested on 3 different installations, incuding over at testbp.org.
I did put quite a few changes through in the past 10 hours, so it’s not completely impossible that something changed and is causing this. Can you try the latest revision of the plugin and see if that fixes it?
i downloaded the last free WPML version and i was able to create a po file with all the english strings (158 entries), we can start translating…
@JJJ
can we use the mo files with the latest bbpress?

I downloaded the bbpress app and deployed it on my Turnkey LAPP VM. Navigating to /bbpress nets me the bbpress installer page, but when I press the ‘Go to step 1’ button, I get no response, and no errors. I’ve tested the page on chrome and IE, the same thing happens.
I’ve thought of creating the ‘bb-config.php’ file myself and doing a manual configuration, but I wouldn’t know where to start.
Does anyone know either why the install isn’t working, how to find the error logs, or how I can build a config manually?
Much appreciated,

Note topic. While it may be misconfiguration on my side, and I think it is, it is very bad think.
I have portal based on WordPress and bbpress. New users on WP are registered as subscribents and for bbPress I have userDB integration (author, contributor and subscribent are translated to member). And while I can send PMs from/to key masters (made several test accounts), for “normal” users messages aren’t available.
So what I should do about that?
Is it something that can be done with the to-be-released BBpress plugin? If yes, is the beta release available for testing?

I am sure there will be new ones but there is one out there which does work.

I found that when looking for a solution to move a vbulletin forum to bbpress beings I was in the midst of changing to wordpress for all of my sites functions.
That link is here – http://www.ericm.ca/2010/05/31/vbulletin-4-to-bbpress-and-wordpress-integration/
As long as you are doing it per the instructions, it works perfect. I have done it twice now on test sites. The only glitch I hit was on my new site the WP and BBP integration is already there so I don’t have a bb_users table which is the first thing the converter is looking for. I was going to ask for some help with that from the maker as I have by forums and users stuck now in a PHPBB forum and can not get them into WP or BBP as far as I can tell.
I have no idea how all that will play with the new plugin but I am hoping to get my site on track and then move to the plugin at some point.
Hope this helps.
@citizenkeith:
if i type “wp-admin” i’m redirected to “wp-login.php”, no problems here with maintenance mode pluggin, using latest build.

Thanks for testing that. I’ll take a look at what’s going on. I think I know wha’s up. 
@miruru – Yep, same as before.
I fixed some issues with conflicting $post globals and multiple queries and loops tonight. Was a regression from some $wp_query clean-up I did a few days ago. Apologies.
Aiming for alpha release going in WP plugin repo and available in your dashboards on Wednesday, barring any unforeseen disasters. So test!
I have successfully moved by vbulletin site into phpbb3 and now ready to finalize the moved to bbpress. I had done a test on this process twice in the past and confirmed the steps and all that jazz but the last part is where I always get hung up.
Generally in the integration of the bbpress and wp users and logins.
Seems that may be again the issue but even prior to converting the data into bbpress.
My current site is a WPMU and has buddypress with bbpress standalone already connected. So, there is no bb_users table. When I run the convertor it of course is looking for that table and returns an error which kills the process.
knowing how sensitive this dang thing is I thought I would ask for some advice and help first prior to just trying to create tables and/or modify this convertor files. Both things I truly have little clue on how to do properly.
Some added info – I do have a users table and that is what is connected to WP and the last step in the conversation process is actually to rename the bp_user table to users if you intend to use WP for your users versus BBP. This is something I don’t want to change as it currently works just fine.
Finally, incase someone has a completely other solution here is what I got..
PHPBB3 has all my posts and users and is installed on the same domain as WPMU and BBP. It is also sharing the same database.
I have confirmed the phpbb forum works just fine with the users and my WPMU with BBP also works just fine. I would like to dump the phpbb and use bbp. I then am hoping to check into the bbp plugin.
Thank for all help and advice.
Good Evening,
Hey there… I wanna ask how can I fix this thing…
I recently found bbPress plugin, it is great to be installed in a wordpress blog it promotes more interaction for the site. so i installed bbPress in my blog.. but my problem is…
The url for the forums is too long… when the forum base is present..
:bbpress.org/ forums/ forum/ tutorial-guide/
I want to shorten it
from :bbpress.org/ forum base/ forum/ tutorial-guide/
to :bbpress.org/forum base/ tutorial-guide/
plus my concern is if I use
:bbpress.org/ forum base/ forum/
creates duplicate content with
:bbpress.org/ forum base/
and the user profiles
How can I put Latest user post and topics in wordpress profiles??
Any help thanks… I’ll be waiting
Correction its subdomain install
I’ve been out of touch with testing, sorry.
with regard to the bozo and akismet plugins, if these features are in then it would be useful:
ability for admin to differentiate between bozo’ed users posts and posts marked as spam.
ability to set thresholds to stop akismet checking users after x number of posts. this helps when some users get marked as spam all the time, alternatively ability to skip akismet for individual users. Having that in the core akismet would be extremely useful.
There is absolutely nothing special about my install. It’s a clean and fresh install of WP 3.1.2 with no additional plugins enabled. Initially, I enabled permalinks, activated bbpress and created a new forum. The view-forum link points to ‘http://localhost/wptest/forums/forum/general-forum’, which then results in a ‘page not found’ error. With permalinks disabled, all these pages would show up nicely as expected.
The sever is a local Apache on Win7 x64 (uniformserver package) and appears to be running perfectly fine so far.
Just installed the latest version of the plugin on my local testserver. Unfortunately, my first impression was that it did not work at all since whatever I tried, WP would always redirect anything related to bbpress to the 404 / Page not found, regardless of which theme (default TwentyTen / bbpress Theme) was activated.
I noticed that turning off WP’s rewrite engine eventually did the trick, although I would not consider this to be a real solution. Maybe there’s something wrong with the url rewriting handled by bbpress. The base path to my WP in my setup is like ‘http://localhost/wptest/’.
@willabee – Don’t move any files anywhere. Just activate bbPress and see how it fits on your site. If it doesn’t, use the bbp-twentyten theme. It puts itself in your list of available themes even though it’s in the plugins folder
@Rick Lewis – I’ll post a new topic tonight with instructions on how to test.
been following this for sometime as I am in the midst of converting a vbulletin site over to wordpress/buddypress. The forums are a huge part of that and I was told to look into bbpress. Initially I wasn’t to happy but it seemed like the better option based on the relationship between all the top people involved in all the WP, BP, BB family. I did actually find a way to get the users and data over to bbpress on a test site. I am about to look into that again for the new site beings we are now ready to get that open to the public. Before I do that though, I am curious as to how the stand alone will integrate into the plug in. I am reading things in this thread and see mention that is might not be ready as of yet?
Also, how do I get the plugin itself to test out? I see mention of it being uploaded on wordpress repository??? Is that not the main area there?
Tried searching and only some other thing came up.
Please post a link if it is something everyone can test out as it would be helpful for the development of my site.
Thanks.
I have just downloaded from SVN the most recent version and started testing it with a theme I’m building with custom posts in it, it’s a child theme of twenty ten so I took all the bbpress specific files from the bbpress child theme in the repository and put them into my child theme.
I added everything I think I need in order to make the theme compatible for bbpress and added add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ ); as the template files are all in theme.
I’m still getting the
bbPress is almost ready. First you’ll need to activate a bbPress compatible theme. We’ve bundled a child theme of Twenty Ten to get you started.
Message. Am I missing something or is this a bug? I’ve got the forums showing up and I’m assuming working as I put in the forums and they are displaying.
Hi Guys,
Very quick question, I may be missing something simple… But…
On my bbpress plugin test site, I get the forums page layout as if my forums were blog posts ( http://www.webition.com/dev/forum/ )
Yet on ( http://www.ricardouk.com/bbpress/forum/ ) Demo Forum the Forums page is how I would expect it to be…
Is there a bug, I am on the latest bbpress plugin ‘trac version’ ( https://trac.bbpress.org/changeset/3062/branches/plugin?old_path=%2F&format=zip ) .. should be using this version?…
I am just using a child theme on top of the Official BBP Twenty ten theme, but even with out the child theme I still have this issue…
Thanks Guys,
Chris
