I still can’t figure out how to get to the add plugin form, so here’s my new plugin.

It’s called Alex bbPress Backup, it makes an SQL backup of your bbPress database and allows you to copy and save it.

it can be downloaded at http://anthonyzb.users.sourceforge.net/?page_id=31

Hi Alex,

at line 21 you use: SHOW TABLES FROM db_name in order to retrieve bbPress tables. This is a wrong approach cause you assume that in the database there are only bbPress tables which is not guaranteed.

You should only backup the tables with the bbPress prefix. Check the $bb_table_prefix global variable.

Thanks for replying!, I left it like that because I thought of people with multiple installs in one db and the prefixes were different.
