New vanilla WordPress 3.1.2 install,
Downloaded zip from trac, branches_plugin-3138.zip
Unzipped and uploaded everything to /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/
Activated. Added a forum, added topics. No problems.
Broken Themes
The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.
Name Description
bbp-twentyten Stylesheet is missing.
Does exist: /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/css/bbpress.css
Is this a problem, or should I be moving files around?
—Also, I’m the village idiot b/c thought you meant something about testing BuddyPress. I haven’t used bbp so I’m not much help, but figured I’d install it and try anyway.
I’m getting confused by the buddypress and bbpress thing. Are they like apples and oranges? Or granny smith and golden delicious? Should I just wait until 1.1 comes out? When will that be?
Is there any way to migrate my SMF database to bbpress?
Is there a way to test install bbpress and then switch to it if I like it? I’m kind of a noob, so a link to anything that explains how to do that would be great. Thanks for the help, John!

Right now probably the best example of the plugin in action is over at http://testbp.org/discussion. It’s using some of the shortcodes and minimal CSS tweaks to mimic the look of the forums here at bbpress.org.

The topic in front page is ordered by the latest comment.
When a member post comment in old topic.It’s view in first topic.
It’s hard to know about real latest topic.
Can I re-order the topic from latest comment to topic started date?
Help me, please
@JJJ
Awesome, passing that on to my designer now. Thanks so much, you rock
Jonathan
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,
– Peter
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.
That can be located in the

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.
