I’ve just upgraded my site from using an ancient 2.0 release of WordPress to 3.0.1 and this seems to have caused havoc with the BBPress integration. By disabling plugins I seem to have reinstated the forums so they can be viewed but I can’t seem to login to the forums – I’m guessing for some reason they’re not seeing or sharing the WordPress 3.0.1 cookie.
Any suggestions? I’ve had though about updating to the latest release of BBPress but when I try and upgrade the database it seems to time out. We’ve got quite a bit of data in the DB. Some of the DB tables are huge so I guess this could be why.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
Tim
Thanks for getting back to me, Ashfame 
I had it working great under WAMP (can’t remember what plugins were active at the time though) so will remember this advice for future and continue to test at regular intervals.
All the best, Karl

What about https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/subscribe-to-topic/ plugin
I mean, on the 1.0.2 installation of bbPres I’m testing, looks like there is no such feature.
The https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/subscribe-to-topic/ plugin page says:
Requires bbPress Version: 0.9 or higher
Compatible up to: 0.9
An now what? 1.0.2 is higher than 0.9
Which plugin are you using on the bbpress.org forum to allow users to enable the Notify me of followup posts via e-mail?
( – this is the same story about https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/ive-installed-bbpress-v102-but-it-doesnt-look-like-this-site
– this is a big leak in the spreading-concept of the bbpress staff
– this plugin is NOT an option that may interest or not o_O while is a must instead
– Don’t you think?)

what about loading my picture in this box on the left?
This question is double , ’cause I mean
– how to upload and display my picture in my profile in this bbPress forum
and also
– how to upload and display it on the forum (bbPress made) I’ve installed on my test system.
thank you for any link and or explanation
I currently have several sites running standalone bbpress.org with deep integration. How would I convert over when this new plugin is developed?
I would echo ricardouk views that It would make sense to just display the forum on a wordpress page to avoid the hassle of fiddling with different themes.
What is likely to be in the core? I would like to have plugins in the core or optionally built in and maintained as core plugins specifically these ones.
Adsense for BBPress
Ajaxed Quotes
Akismet
Allow Images
BBClitcha
BBCode Buttons
bbPM
BBVideo
Terms of Service
I would think all of them should be in the core except maybe Adsense for BBPress
I am not a computer guy but if you want a dummy tester I would fit the bill
Hi,
I’ve been very careful with a fresh install of bbPress and testing functionality at each step of integrating with WordPress. I have the problem narrowed down to this code snippet that goes into the bb-config.php file:
/* Deep integration */
if ( !defined('ABSPATH') && !defined('XMLRPC_REQUEST')){
define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
include_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../wp-blog-header.php' );
header("HTTP/1.1 200 OK");
header("Status: 200 All rosy");
}
No feedback yet (it was Thanksgiving Day yesterday after all) but I hope this will help you, help me.
Best Regards, Karl

Noticed in the latest revision that the bbPress theme appears within the WP Themes section, but I don’t like the fact you have to activate the bbPress theme and then just inherit the Parent Theme would much rather that the theme files be within the actual WP theme like you do when using the Template Pack for BuddyPress.
Also I also strongly agree with the others about NOT having public profiles, there are plenty of plugins out there than can do this so no need for it, plus if you have buddypress running as well you will end up with duplicate profiles like you do with the current stand-alone bbPress system.
EDIT: Actually WP supports public profiles out of the box /author/yourname it’s just a case of the template file showing the additional information! But if you want to make them public editable then grab Theme My Login plugin.
gswaim, test it out and see if it does what you want – I’d be inclined to say yes.

I update every few days, so it is fairly upto date.
I am testing the plugin and really like the simplicity of it. This could be an ‘community’ alternative to Buddypress, because I found Buddypress too heavy for high traffic sites.But what I really like from Buddypress are the public profiles and front end account / admin options.
Are there any plans to make public profiles in this new plugin, instead of using the default WP admin area? Something like BBpress has right now for example..
@ Rich: All the other plug-ins show up fine.
@ CitizenKieth: I am using cyberduck for my uploads, I never had a problem like this before.
I have also tried to install bbpress on 3 other wordpress websites of mine and it does not show either, they are all on the same hosting company, and they all have the latest wordpress.
Thanks Rich, I appreciate it. Hope to see that beta soon and of course I will join the testing. I’m planning on using bbpress live during the beta phase.
@Carmellon, erm you do know that is what this thread is about? JJJ has said he was hoping for a beta release by the end of the year (If I recall correctly).
But you can join in the testing by using the download link on this page:
https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/branches/plugin
Finally, not in the readme, copy the bbp-twentyten to your themes directory.
This is not necessary, and you should not do it. One of the latest changes specifically addressed the earlier issue that we were having, and if the theme does not work correctly from within the plugin please, please, let us know.
@Deyson, I assume other plugins show up correctly etc?
Hello, here is the update in order, I upgraded to the latest version of WordPress, re-added the plugin, switched to twenty-ten theme, deactivated all of my plugins and the bbpress plugin still does not show up.
Hello again
Well I downloaded the zip file from here the third try with no success:
https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/branches/plugin#bbp-themes/bbp-default
I unzipped the branches folder, I then renamed the ‘plugin’ folder to ‘bbpress’ and then uploaded the ‘bbpress’ folder to the wp-content/plugins folder and still nothing shows up in the plug-in admin
Here is the link to the test site, where I want to add the bbpress forum to:
http://motion-master-templates.com/test/
I had buddypress running before, but I deactivated all the associated buddpress plug-ins prior to uploading bbpress.
I would really like to start playing with bbpress
Thank you.
John James Jacoby: For people running into issues on Windows local installs, svn up and test the most recent trunk. The solution isn’t very pretty but appears to work on all server configs.
I love this (ugly) solution, thanks for taking the time to do what you did, and if what Ryan Boren did in a particular change in WordPress helped too then grand! With this, you can tell Automattic made a good call adding you to the team (congratulations again!)
Rich Pedley: Works OK for me, I never thought of just changing that portion (doh).
You always think about it after you see the change made, I’m sure I’d been playing about with that at one stage but had nothing like the final ”solution” shows … least we’ve got JJJ to help us! 
DeysonOrtiz: I dropped the ‘plugin’ folder into the wp-content/plugins folder and then changed the folder named ‘plugin’ to bbpress.
By rights it should show up fine in either folder. So inside the /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/ directory do you see a bbpress.php file? Can you just double check all the files needed to run the bbPress Plugin have been uploaded!

I found that to exclude multiple forums, it has to be a negative value in exclude:
get_latest_topics('exclude=-3,-16,-28')
according to the wordpress codex, the numbers are supposed to be in ascending order, so I assume order is important in bbpress too.
I have downloaded the latest version of this plugin and placed it inside the /wp-content/plugins/ folder but it doesn’t show up in the Plugins area of WP-Admin and therefore I can’t activate it! Does it need activating somewhere else?
I’m on bbPress latest trunk, testing bbPM 1.0.1 and I’ve never had any problem at all.
