I have a WordPress Blog with a fully integrated bbPress forum. In WordPress, my Blog Title (Settings->General->Blog Title) contains an apostrophe with no problems. In bbPress, I am trying to set my Site title (Settings->General->Site title) as the same as my Blog Title in Word Press with the apostrophe. bbPress puts a backslash in front of the apostrophe on first save. The second save has three backslashes. The third creates seven backslashes. And so on…
This issue also happens in my Tagline (Settings->General->Tagline) in bbPress, but it is not an issue in WordPress (Settings->General->Tagline).
I also have this issue in the Name and Description of Forums.
I do not have an apostrophe issue in Topics or Posts as has been reported and solved in older posts.
Can anyone provide a way to resolve this issue? I have searched for a solution with no success. I am a rookie. So, my apologies if this is a simple issue.
I have decided to write my own WordPress Plugin.
I would like to know if there is any sort of documentation somewhere that descibes in detail a list of hooks, filters and actions that I can use.
I’d like to remove “forums” and “topics” from bbPress permalinks.
This looks ugly:
http://domain.com/forums/forum/name-of-forum/
http://domain.com/forums/topic/title-of-topic/
Therefore I want this:
http://domain.com/forum/name-of-forum/title-of-topic
Therefore I downloaded a plugin and followed the steps described on this website:

Unfortunately I don’t get it work. I think there are some mod rewrites missing. Unfortunately I am not a mod rewrite expert. Is there anybody who could help me?
Thats the htaccess code which works with the ugly url:

Thats the htaccess code which should make pretty urls:
# BEGIN bbPress

Whats missing in the second htaccess code? It must be something with “page”, “forum” or “topic”.
– I put BBPress into a folder called /forum off of the root.
– WordPress is on the root.
I am trying to use the same database to install BBpress into as WordPress.
I’ve checked with host and my DB name, username, password are all correct. I’ve also copy pasted the DB Host into the advanced settings field.
I still get a msg back that there was a problem connecting to the database. Any suggestions? The only thing I can think of is I’ve installed in a folder that I shouldn’t have? Or I need to specify a path or something?
any help is much appreciated!

Hi guys, my latest discussions list doesnt stop growing, I would like to edit it to the last 5 topics. How should I do it? Thanks!
Hello,
I’m planning to start a new forum based on bbpress.
My only problem is that the actual version (1.0.2) doesn’t have email notification working (topic subscription) working.
My idea is to install the latest 0.9 version and add some plugins for email notifications. But at the same time I saw that the trunk version already have this feature implemented, so I’m wondering if I should go with trunk version and them change to the stable version when this feature is implemented or if I should stick with 0.9.
What do you think about this?
Thanks inadvance!
Is it possible to get a feed for every entry? I do not have the time to have a look to the board every day. I would like to get informed by feed, when someone has written something.
Hi,
I couldn’t login with my WordPress Name. There was also no chance to create a new account with my WP-Name (name already exists). I asked for a new password and got a link to change it. But there I got the message, that I am not allowed to change my password.
