I have a unique problem it seems. I have bbpress 0.75 installed and WP 2.0.5 installed and playing together nicely… except that I get a forward slash in front of apostrophes and quotation marks. I have found that if I take out the require_once( ‘/…/wp-config.php’); and define(‘WP_BB’, ‘true’); from the bbpress config.php the problem vanishes. I have been searching all over the forums, but haven’t found anything that seems to match.

My forums are at: http://www.digitalfrontierplus.com/wordpress/forums

bbPress config.php:

<?php

//This will get all the functions from WordPress into bbPress

//require_once(‘path/to/wp-config.php’)

require_once( ‘/home/users/web/b1442/pow.drinknbud/htdocs/wordpress/wp-config.php’);

//Set this value in the config file so the functions defined in WordPress are not redefined

define(‘WP_BB’, ‘true’);

// ** MySQL settings ** //

define(‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘****’); // The name of the database

define(‘BBDB_USER’, ‘*****’); // Your MySQL username

define(‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘*****’); // …and password

define(‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘*****’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value

// ** WordPress MySQL settings ** //

define(‘USER_BBDB_NAME’, ‘*****’);

define(‘USER_BBDB_USER’, ‘*****’);

define(‘USER_BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘****’);

define(‘USER_BBDB_HOST’, ‘*****’);

// Change the prefix if you want to have multiple forums in a single database.

$bb_table_prefix = ‘***’; // Only letters, numbers and underscores please!

// If your bbPress URL is http://bbpress.example.com/forums/ , the examples would be correct.

// Adjust the domain and path to suit your actual URL.

// Just the domain name; no directories or path. There should be no trailing slash here.

$bb->domain = ‘http://www.digitalfrontierplus.com&#8217;; // Example: ‘http://bbpress.example.com&#8217;

// There should be both a leading and trailing slash here. ‘/’ is fine if the site is in root.

$bb->path = ‘/wordpress/forums/’; // Example: ‘/forums/’

// What are you going to call me?

$bb->name = ‘DFP Forums’;

// This must be set before running the install script.

$bb->admin_email = ‘****’;

// Set to true if you want pretty permalinks.

$bb->mod_rewrite = false;

// The number of topics that show on each page.

$bb->page_topics = 30;

// A user can edit a post for this many minutes after submitting.

$bb->edit_lock = 60;

// Your timezone offset. Example: -7 for Pacific Daylight Time.

$bb->gmt_offset = -5;

// Change this to localize bbPress. A corresponding MO file for the

// chosen language must be installed to bb-includes/languages.

// For example, install de.mo to bb-includes/languages and set BBLANG to ‘de’

// to enable German language support.

define(‘BBLANG’, ”);

// Your Akismet Key. You do not need a key to run bbPress, but if you want to take advantage

// of Akismet’s powerful spam blocking, you’ll need one. You can get an Akismet key at

// http://wordpress.com/api-keys/

$bb->akismet_key = ‘*******’;

// The rest is only useful if you are integrating bbPress with WordPress.

// If you’re not, just leave the rest as it is.

$bb->wp_table_prefix = ‘***’; // WordPress table prefix. Example: ‘wp_’;

$bb->wp_home = ‘http://www.digitalfrontierplus.com/wordpress&#8217;; // WordPress – Options->General: Blog address (URL) // No trailing slash

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://www.digitalfrontierplus.com/wordpress&#8217;; // WordPress – Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // No trailing slash

/* Stop editing */

define(‘BBPATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’ );

require_once( BBPATH . ‘bb-settings.php’ );

?>

Interesting, your problem sounds just like this other one which is also unsolved:
