The latest WordPress is definitely the most secure, b/c Automattic has not released security patches for earlier versions. But bbPress 1.0 is not clearly more secure than 0.9 – in fact, because bbPress 1.0 uses BackPress, it’s possibly less secure. Plus 0.9 has been stable for a long time, while 1.0 is new and still has a fair number of bugs.
Integration is easiest when you share a user table. It’s possible to integrate bbPress with other software (WordPress, or even something else) without sharing a user table but it’s not easy and there are no publicly released plugins which allow it.
How many users do you have on your WordPress install?
The latest versions of wordpress and bbpress are the most secure and bbpress is designed to integrate with wp. The only possible advantage to keeping an older version of bbpress is the amount of plugins that have not been updated to ensure compatability (in other words, if you want a lot of plugins, stick with 0.9 until the ones you can’t live without are brought up to speed. My recommendation – upgrade now that you don’t have too many plugins to worry about).
If you’re going to upgrade bbpress, do it first.
Install wordpress and integrate with bbpress. Basic (shallow) integration eliminates the need for users to log in to each seperately.
Did you select integration during the installation? I’m assuming so – you should have the following values set in WordPress which you will use during this process to have added to your bb-config.php and the bbpress database;
AUTH_KEY
SECURE_AUTH_KEY
LOGGED_IN_KEY
NONCE_KEY
AUTH_SALT
LOGGED_IN_SALT
SECURE_AUTH_SALT
The four that go in your bb-config.php (should be handled by the installation):
BB_AUTH_KEY
BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY
BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY
BB_NONCE_KEY
The three that should be (matched) in your database (the bb_meta table) are:
bb_auth_salt
bb_secure_auth_salt
bb_logged_in_salt
…the rest of the integration allegedly needs no attention with the latest WP/WPMU and bbPress, but I have the bbPress Integration plugin installed on mine anyways, and at the very least it doesn’t hurt. It also gives you some additional cookie information to add to your wp-config.php
I would it be separate from the forums. maybe another tab in a person’s profile. (maybe I should ask bp people?)
People can upload their car picture(s) and fill out pre determined fields.
You will have a link under their name when they post saying garage where you see the person vehicle, like you see their profile. That would be the minimal and the starting point.
Then more complex:
-Have a directory of all the people’s car, maybe looking like the groups in bp (http://testbp.org/groups).
-Have rating on the car
-Top Rating, Random, Search, and Last updated.
-Add more than one car, more than one picture
I realized that means you are basically creating a photo album with fields.
Hi,
I don’t think that there is a standard function for that, do you tried some custom code?
since version 1.0 it’s possible to have custom functions in the template functions.php file. Just like in wordpress.
I haven’t seen any reports of that issue on the forums… you might want to try upgrading to the latest 1.0 release, and see if that helps?
You are correct. I downloaded it from https://bbpress.org/latest.zip and there it was. Strange that it doesn’t come with the .zip package from the trac site.
On a new note there is now a new installation error:
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /XXXXX/StealthEmployed/forum/bb-config.php:64) in /XXXXX/StealthEmployed/forum/bb-includes/functions.bb-pluggable.php on line 232
I have a feeling this is probably easier to fix than the last one. Any ideas?
Is there a way, on the front page, to list the top level forums, and then show the lastest 5 discussions under each forum? I’ve been poking around in these forums and haven’t found a solution quite yet.
I just checked out 1.0.2 via svn and I see backpress is included as an external:

Checked out external at revision 191.
It’s actually included in the packaged download here too:
https://bbpress.org/latest.zip
https://bbpress.org/latest.tar.gz
I don’t think using trac to grab the source is the same as actually downloading the package. Maybe that was the problem?
1 Year ago latest reply posted.
I Wonder if this has got any progress in v1.0.2 or if it is easiy doable by templates.
I was thinking about this and it would be ideal to ask for Name, Email, and Post, when asking for a reply, if it’s a new user, he will be registered as described above, if it matches an existing user, it’ll ask for password before posting.
It would be a killer feature for me.
I’d do this but I simply haven’t got the time. It’d be easy enough to store meta data if you added an action hook for ‘bb-post.php’ that got all the event-related form data from the post form and WP’s database handling makes storing it a breeze, so that wouldn’t be too hard. Throw in a ‘bb_head’ action hook to pull up data for a given topic (do a is_topic() check and check the forum ID, that’s floating around in a global variable iirc, probably $forum), load it into global variables and then let those be added in by the template. Main issue for me would be the testing and actually having to support something after I write it for once 
I’m trying to show the last ten posts in my sidebar, but I am not entirely succeeding, what am I doing wrong? I thought I’d just need to adjust the code from latest discussion a bit. Obviously it doesn’t work like that.
<table class="recent_posts" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<?php if ( $topics ) : foreach ( $topics as $topic ) : ?>
<tr<?php topic_class(); ?>>
<td><?php bb_topic_labels(); ?> <a href="<?php topic_link(); ?>"><?php topic_title(); ?></a></td>
<td><small><a href="<?php topic_last_post_link(); ?>"><?php topic_time(); ?></a></small></td>
</tr>
<?php endforeach; endif; // $topics ?>
</table>
So how can I call the latest ten posts in the sidebar?
We’re all a bit worried… hopefully Sam is doing ok!
but it doesn’t work with the latest version of bbpress and where do we find a animated gif
Maybe but the hot-topic plugin doesn’t have a bursting flame of fire animated gif and doesn’t work with the latest version of bbpress
<?php if ( $topics ) : foreach ( $topics as $topic ) : ?>
<tr<?php topic_class(); ?>>
<td><?php bb_topic_labels(); ?> <a href="<?php topic_link(); ?>"><?php topic_title(); ?></a><?php topic_page_links(); ?> <a href="<?php post_link($topic->topic_last_post_id); ?>">Latest</a></td>
<td class="num"><?php topic_posts(); ?></td>
<!-- <td class="num"><?php bb_topic_voices(); ?></td> -->
<td class="num"><?php topic_last_poster(); ?></td>
<td class="num"><a href="<?php topic_last_post_link(); ?>"><?php topic_time(); ?></a></td>
Just change the word Latest to whatever you like 
It works but i get it on the wrong row.
Here is the code:
<?php if ( $topics ) : foreach ( $topics as $topic ) : ?>
<tr<?php topic_class(); ?>>
<td><?php bb_topic_labels(); ?> <a href="<?php topic_link(); ?>"><?php topic_title(); ?></a><?php topic_page_links(); ?></td>
<td class="num"><?php topic_posts(); ?></td>
<!-- <td class="num"><?php bb_topic_voices(); ?></td> -->
<td class="num"><?php topic_last_poster(); ?></td>
<td class="num"><a href="<?php topic_last_post_link(); ?>"><?php topic_time(); ?></a></td>
how can i get it after the topic pages and can i add i image instead of latest?
Slightly lighter version <a href="<?php post_link($topic->topic_last_post_id); ?>">Latest</a>
<?php $last_post = bb_get_last_post(); ?><a href="<?php echo get_post_link($last_post->post_id); ?>">Latest post</a><?php unset($last_post); ?>
Put that in your front-page.php in the parts you want the latest post link to appear. Try after <?php topic_page_links(); ?>
Hi, is there a way to make a link for the latest post on the forum homepage, so a vistor can go directly to that instead of navigation through the pages.
I am using bbPress 1.0.2
Thanks in advance.
i use human test for bbpress and no 1 spam user on my 2 forums.
not a complaint, just an observation, but
This is coming out tomorrow, with or without feedback. POSTED 3 WEEKS AGO #
Of course it’s possible but around half the plugins will stop working.
depends on which plugins you’re using
I’m using all the plugins I have used before
I don’t know if anyone else experienced a similar problem already. I searched the forum, but nobody seems to have encountered this problem.
On my bbPress forum (http://hostpress.org/), if I go to page 2 under “Latest Discussions” section, afterwards I cannot go back to page 1. The http link on page 1 itself is showing page 2…
Any solution? Help is much appreciated.
P.S.
By the way, was bbPress forums down for some 24 hours? I could not access it although I could access bbPress website itself. Maybe only me?
I have a WordPress blog I am trying to put a bbpress forum into. The install instructions are opaque to say the least, it may be simple, fast and elegant but I am very confused as where to put the files when working with WordPress. I had a forums page set up as a WordPress page, if I put bbpress into that directory all I get is a list of files and not my WordPress page. When I get to the installer it then does not recognise the Database Name, User and Password. The instructions are written with prior knowledge but not tested on the range of possible users. Any help would be great. Thanks.
