@Trent. Thanks for the reply. Hmm, I hadn’t thought about it being an issue with the theme. I didn’t give gravatars a try on the default theme, so I can’t confirm. And not easy to test with the site in the wild now. I think next steps is for me to research the theme and see where that takes me. BTW, is “SVN” software version number? Thanks!
I can’t replicate this with the latest SVN and the default theme as gravatars show up. I see what you mean though. Does it work with the default theme for you? That theme you are using might not support gravatars?
I have now fixed the Approve Registration plugin for bbPress 1.0a
as well as another bug it had with resetting passwords upon approval.
(it might also now work again with bbPress 0.9.0.4, untested)

Hi,
I’m about ready to launch a BBpress forum version 1.0 alpha 6, that’s integrated with WP 2.7. Everything is looking good, but I’m not able to get Avatars (specifically Gravatars) to display on the BBPress side. They’re showing up perfectly on the WP 2.7 portion of the site.
I’ve tested a bunch of different combinations in the BBPress admin just to make sure that a bit wasn’t flipped the wrong way. I’ve tried all different levels of Maximum Ratings, Show Gravatars (checked/unchecked) and even played with the default images. No luck.
Anyone have any suggestions? Is this a known issue with V1.a.6 by chance?
Thanks.
Hi I am using wp 2.7.0 trunk (2.7.1) bbpress Version 1.0-alpha-6 Buddypress Core: 1.0-RC1 And I have the same problem. To try and resolve the issues I will show you the cookies for buddypress/wp and bbpress but instead of sharing the cookie I will call it “cookiestring”:
At bp/wp I have:
2x worpdress_logged_in_cookiestring at /
wordpress_cookiestring at /forums/bb-plugins
wordpress_cookie string at /forums/my-plugins
wordpress_cookiestring at /forums/bb-admin
wordpress_cookiestring at /wp-admin
wordpress_cookiestring at /wp-content/plugins
wordpress_test_cookie at /
PHPSESSID at /
_utma at /
_utmb at /
_utmc at /
_utmz at /
at bbpress the I have the following cookies
wordpress_cookiestring at /forums/bb-plugins
wordpress_cookiestring at /forums/my-plugins
wordpress_cookiestring at /forums/bb-admin
wordpress_cookiestring at /wp-admin
wordpress_cookie string at /wp-content/plugins
As you can see I have the same cookie string but I have a few extra cookies at buddypress.
Thanks for sharing your experience with me.

Merlin that code looks vaguely familiar 
…it does keep the paging intact but counts for all the forums (fora?), even the excluded one(s).
To get round this requires amending the function bb_latest_topics_pages() in functions.bb-template.php.
$bb_latest_topics_count = $bbdb->get_var('SELECT COUNT('topic_id') FROM '' . $bbdb->topics . '' WHERE 'topic_open' = 1 AND 'topic_status' = 0 AND 'topic_sticky' != 2 AND 'forum_id' != 3;');
// AND 'forum_id' != 3 - filters out forum 3 on front page paging count.
Is there a wayy to get this Tool you talked about in your Tutorial?
I´d also love to integrate my WP theme to my forum but the link you posted is down 
PS:
I run WPmu and the latest bbPress release
I hope this tool will work with it (if you could send me).
Best regards, Sebastian

How about taking the latest topic RSS feed and using an RSS widget or plugin in WordPress to display those topics?
I think I saw another topic about the avatars so I will look for that rather than address this here.
0.9.0.4 is recommended for live sites.
Thanks, _ck_. I appreciate the feedback.
By the way, I’m running several of your plugins, including Human Test, bbCode, Subscribe to Topic and more.
For anyone wanting to extend your bbPress site, I suggest looking first at _ck_’s plugins under the Extend tab. Really great stuff.
I’m planning (/ trying !!**!!) to run WPMU branch 2.7.1r1715, bbPress 1.0-Alpha-6, latest BuddyPress, r1324.
My Hosting provider won’t allow RPC calls on the same server, so I have to mount bbPress on a different domain and server.
Will it work?
Assuming, it will:
Is it better to put bbPress in the root, or in a folder (usually root/forums )?
What (apart from the cookie hash) are the issues that I’m going to face?
How would I configure the cookies?
Usually if you delete the bb-config.php file, and then go to you main forum directory, it will go through the install process again and create you a new admin login without deleting the existing tables.
If you were using integration and hadn’t set up the correct user as keymaster, and your keymaster still exists, it is likely that you are looking at the wrong user tables. (wp_user vs bb_user)
If you are trying to integrate with buddypress / wpmu, then deleting the bb-config.php
and following the https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/trunk/bp-forums/installation-readme.txt
file will get you up and running with user sharing.
To do the integration you MUST be running the latest WPMU 2.7.1 branahc and BuddyPress trunk and NOTHING more that 1.0 Alpha 6 of bbPress – see here: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=471
After that, you’ve got the usual cookie integration to do if you want to, see here:
http://umwblogs.org/wiki/index.php/Integrating_WPMu%2C_BuddyPress%2C_and_bbPress
Having been round this loop many times, I know how frustrating it can be.
Hope that helps.
I have a thread going on over at the BuddyPress forums, ( http://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2027&replies=14#post-10855 ) I’m posting the summary here in case anyone can help.
“I’m running latest WPMU branch 2.7.1r1715, bbPress 1.0-Alpha-6, latest BuddyPress, r1324
I an on a shared hosting service with HeartInternet.co.uk
WPMU works fine on its own, bbPress works fine on its own, BuddyPress works fine, however:
When I update groups to “Enable discussion forum” the forum isn’t created.
Users are shared fine, cookies shared, even admin login to bbPress works properly.”
Having gone through everything (many times…), I ran the xml-rpc test scripts and get the following error:
-32300 >> transport error – could not open socket: 111 Connection refused
Has anyone got any ideas how to fix this?
Thx.
Ipstenu, thanks for your help.
Looks like the nonce field is very important to prevent spam posting.
Form submitting doens’t work if you specify a wrong nonce. Take a look at my searchings:
post_form’s _wponce, what is it?
http://phpdoc.ftwr.co.uk/bbpress/bbPress/_bb-includes—functions.bb-pluggable.php.html
http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/trunk/bb-includes/functions.bb-pluggable.php
You can create a nonce key with this funcion:
bb_create_nonce();
I will continue with the searching and testings.
Hi I had a username and password that was created when I installed bbpress. For some or other reason this username/password is not accepted any more.
This is new install using latest alpha bbpress because I wanted to integrate it with buddypress.
I have a created a few forum topics but I can start all over.
The only solution I have is to delete the install and the tables and start all over again.
Can you please suggest how to proceed?
Thanks
Johan Horak

1. To add anything to the login page, just edit the login.php or login-form.php in your template folder. Since the login form is just a tiny space, you might just have a small text link there to a full disclaimer file.
2. Yes, with the 0.9.0.4 version and the latest WordPress (well, 2.7 anyway), you can use one of these two solutions:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/freshly-baked-cookies/
It’s not advisable to use on a live site, and I think avatars are built in to 1.0. Try a test installation and see how it works for you.
hmmm.. that might be the problem then.. I am using an administrator ID, but someone else orig set it up and has the original admin (keymaster) ID.. Thought all permissions were the same… Is there a way to make additional ID’s with same permissions as the orig admin (keymaster) ID?
I have the latest versions of both WP and BBpress..
thx for the reply
@adeboy
where would you put the code:
require_once('../../bb-load.php');
$topics = get_latest_topics( );
edit: @kevinjohn: i wont read all of that but “thumbs up”
@chrishajer – Its not quite ready for primetime but you just make a very basic page with the bb-load.php include and then you can get the latest topics/comments and create some links. You need some simple css in the page to match your site styling for the links and target the top frame in the links
require_once('../../bb-load.php');
$topics = get_latest_topics( );
Your homepage might have adverts, widgets, maps etc which will often load in an iframe, as well as images, so the latest topics appear as part of the page build up.
One day i might get round to proper integration but until then, it works fine
@swaymedia – grow up
@Ipstenu
As I said, just becuase you do not want deep integration it doesn’t mean the majority won’t. It is going over the top to call it a “Silver Bullet” just becuase it might have deep intergration.
All I want to do is use the BBPress loop to add the latest topics on the index.php page of WP. … Getting told “oh well theres a plugin for that, for your sidebar” is probably the stinkiest response any one can give. People want to customize things, thats what BBPress is about, we dont want rigid fixed plugins. And not to mention really really lame. Deep intergration is the “right tool for the right job” for the majority of people using BBPress… except it wont be there.
@CK
both points are too weak to stop deep intergration and are probably really insufficient to fight your side of the argument. Dedicated servers will always be used for a large community base that has enough power to crush a shared server.. which is not that likely anyway.
Hey Guys,
I just installed bbPress with integration with WP, everything went well even the login integration.
But now I’m getting ‘Page not found’ for any page I try to access in the Forum.
I’ve installed the latest alpha version Version 1.0-alpha-6.
http://www.ceneffi.com.br/forum (that’s should be the forum)
is someone facing the same problem?
