When searching through the forums at BikePGH.org, I noticed that the Most Recent results aren’t in chronological order, which I assume they should be as they’re time-based, correct?
For example, a search for testing brings up a post from 2006 at the top of the list, then the actual most recent post from 2009, and variously down the line. Click here to see that result.
Has anyone ever experienced this? Any idea what might be happening?
As a novice bike commuter (who visits Toronto) WOOT! 
Your site looks good If you do, eventually, bring WP into the game, you may need some finagling, as ‘reverse’ integration is a bit un-tested.
See the blog post…
bbPress 1.0 Release Candidate 3
I hope everyone is able to give this a test run. There are some tricky caching changes which should radically improve performance for any site with more than a dozen users or topics.
Please report issues to Trac as a matter of urgency, as soon as the admin area is skinned, this will be 1.0 final.
Thanks. I clean installed the “latest” build, still no dice unfortunately. Code keeps getting scrambled. I went back to RC1 which doesn’t have this problem for me.
If it’s working for you, maybe it’s related to one of my Plugins (though I doubt it)… will have to wait for the final beta I guess.
@ashfame – i just graduated 
…….. which is why im bugging the hell out of everyone here. got all the time in the world… until i find a job, bit like finding a needle in a haystack though.
@frooyo…. CK doesnt even have the time to make BB-Attachments compatible with RC1+ (i asked earlier) which is far more important than caching one of the litest forums available. …
I have already tested the integration of WP 2.7.1 and bbPress 0.9.0.5 here : http://blog.ashfame.com/2009/05/integrate-bbpress-forum-with-your-wordpress-setup/
Although WordPress 2.8 should work fine (theoretically) by following that integration tutorial but I havn’t tried it yet. I will let you know if I face any issue and will update the tutorial.
Hope that helps!
Thanks everyone…once I get my bbPress up and running in BuddyPress I’ll give the plugins shot.
Hi, I have the same or similar problem. I removed the two defines mentioned above and I can login to BBpress and WP but not simultaneously. Users are showing up in both places when they register through bbp.
Also, I installed Community User and I was wondering if there was a way to have the profiles on BBp match those produced by Community User? The CU profiles display great within WP.
Thanks for any help and I will be looking for the integration fix. Congratulations on your great work.
Wp 2.8 bbp latest

You can if you use something to make the cookies compatible:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/freshly-baked-cookies/
or
http://superann.com/2009/02/26/wordpress-26-27-bbpress-09-cookie-integration-plugin/
Those were using bbPress 0.9.0.4 and WordPress 2.7, and there has been some additional talk about adding a line to (or was it removing a line from??) your bb-config.php to make the 0.9.0.* cookies work with WordPress 2.8:

> Is that the best combination?
Best is up to you to decide. I think you will find you can integrate logins and also have the greatest number of bbPress plugins available with 0.9.0.5.
> Will most of the plug-ins or extensions for bbPress be available with those versions?
The majority of the plugins were designed to work for 0.9 and below. There are significant changes to the 1.0 RC that some plugin authors are not updating their plugins until 1.0 becomes finalized.

@bzmillerboy – you can’t embed video here. You’re welcome to allow it in your forum, using a plugin, as described.
bbPress 1.0 incorporates the shortcode API from WordPress, so most shortcode based video insertion plugins for WordPress will work with only minor modification.
Can I use the latest production/stable releases of WordPress (2. and bbPress (0.9.0.5) together? Is that the best combination? Will most of the plug-ins or extensions for bbPress be available with those versions?
I like the look of a lot of the plugins and just wanted to make sure that they will work. Thanks!
there is a plugin that allows you to do this, there are two i can think off
“bbVideos” – allows for people to easily embed videos from common video sharing sites.
“Admins can post anything” – allows for admins to be able to post html
I guess you can’t embed video objects huh 
I am trying to setup a buddypress community but the client wants to be able to post videos. Since you can’t directly link a blog to a group (or have a link to your the groups blog on the groups page), I was thinking I’d use bbPress for posting videos and images. …guess not?

Because the loop relies on the $topics global being set by the base index.php file.
$topics = get_latest_topics(false, $page);
You can add this to your template if you like just above that loop, to make sure $topics is always available…
if ( !isset( $topics ) ) {
$topics = get_latest_topics( false, 1 ); // Only fetch the first page
}
@johnbillion
You might want to upgrade that further to the latest trunk, RC2 has some issues.
im trying to delete all the test lorem epsum posts off of my forum, through admin… when i try, it only goes red, instead of going away for good ? … i have tons of test topics and its annoying as hell trying to go through the topics list and sort things out..
How can i permanently delete topics for good, and out of site
Inching forward.
When I share tables, the default role of the admin of forums has a subscriber role in capabilities, thats why the admin access is lost.
Right, but WHY does that happen to you when it doesn’t to everyone else (that I’ve heard of) who sets up bbPress/WordPress the way you described It’s weird and I wonder what happened. It’s not the different wp_/bb_ prefixes, I’ve tested that.
@ghengisyan: “I have been messing with the php files (mostly guessing)” – that’s my methodology too! Seems to be working though, as I’ve managed to do some more than I thought I would, with the help of online PHP tutorials.
An Extra Profile Fields plugin would be pretty neat. When I was testing Vanilla 1.8, that was one of the things I liked about it. At the bottom of the profile page is an empty ‘name’ field and a matching ‘content’ field. You add what you want, then click a link to add another, etc. It means users can customise the extra information they enter, and I think it feels more personal to them as they get to name the content field. Feeling that it’s more personal is bound to make people stick around I think.
@johnbillion: I found the filter at line 2201 of functions.php in 0.9.0.5, but have no idea how to use it. If you have a few minutes spare sometime, could you perhaps give us some hints, and a brief snatch of code?
I found a much more elegant solution by slightly modifying some other code I found here on the forums. I created a plugin like this:
/* Plugin Name: Filter Today Only Topics */
function filter_today_only_topics($where){
$today_only_forums = array ("4"); // The id# of the Today Only forum(s)
foreach($today_only_forums as $forum) {
$where .= " AND (forum_id != " . $forum . " OR topic_start_time > CURDATE()) ";
}
return $where;
}
add_filter( 'get_latest_topics_where', 'filter_today_only_topics');
add_filter( 'get_latest_posts_where', 'filter_today_only_topics');
This has the advantage of working in any list of recent posts without modifying the templates. The counts are still wrong in the forum lists, and I can’t find a filter that let’s me change the query for just those, but I’ll just write a template function for that.
onel0ve, I converted a phpbb2 forum to bbpress 1.0a6 awhile back and it was quite a bit of work. You’ll need to export the entire db, then figure out which forum/topic/post ids correlate between phpbb3 and bbpress. The easiest way I found to rebuild the db in bbpress is to write some regexes that take the exported phpbb3 forum data and format it into correct sql statements to preserve the old id associations between posts/topics etc. Of course, phpbb3 and bbpress 0.9.5 are probably totally different from phpbb2 and bbpress1.0 in terms of db table format, but I remember having to combine data from several phpbb2 tables into single bbpress tables to accomplish the task. Make sure you have a test environment to build the new bbpress db on as you’ll probably need to give it a few tries and test out a few things before attempting to rebuild the entire thing.
Unless you own your server, you’ll also want to be sure to do the actual regexing (if you decide to run it in a php script for example) on your own computer (XAMPP or LAMP), because if your forums are large, that is quite a load on the server to run the regex routines that format your sql insert statements (and your hosts may not be too happy about that). I also ended up having to split up my data into several files to get it to work with a php regex.
This is a bug in the RC 2 release. Grab the latest nightly build instead.
