I read nearly 4 months ago from Sam himself that ALPHA #7 was “weeks away” from being release.
Curious to know what the current status is on ALPHA #7.
And yes, I have already read up on: https://bbpress.org/forums/tags/10
So please don’t post that as a reply.
All my forums are filling up with tons of false positives today… lots of normal posts being marked as spam.
Anyone else facing the wrath of Akismet today?

If you like my version, you can use http://userstyles.org/styles/17707 to transform bbPress.org completely!
I am trying to export data from one forum and move it to another.
When I hit export, it doesn’t download a file but shows me the document tree. I copy that into a file and add the extension .html.
When I try to import that file in the new forum, I get the error message – “Invalid child element inside meta element.”
Not sure what to do. Please help. Thanks!
Does anyone know if there’s a feature similar to the topic_page() feature on forum pages that would work for the list of Latest Discussions on the homepage?
So that people could see the 25 – 50th most recent topics after looking through the first?
We have a 3+ year old WP install (2.7.1, 100s of posts) and a bbPress install (0.8.3, 1000s of users). Currently the integration is only skin deep. Separate databases, no user integration. We are thinking of taking the plunge and deepening the integration. I think I have read all the relevant threads here (some of them more than once), but given that some of the advice has dated and that the “reverse integration” option isn’t covered in a lot of depth, I need to ask a few questions.
First, I saw chrishajer ask why one would integrate. In our case there are two reasons:
1. So that forum member identity carries over to commentor identity on the blog
2. Because we want to do some customization of the profile information and there are a lot of WP plugins that can get us started on this
Second, the approach I have in mind:
1. Upgrade BBPress to 1.0 (for simplicity sake let’s pretend it is out of Alpha)
2. Export the “bb_user” and “bb_usermeta” tables from the BBPress database (using phpMyAdmin)
3. Import these tables into the WP database and rename them to “wp_users” and “wp_usermeta”
4. Recreate the WP users I lost in the process (only a few of these)
5. Point BBPress to the WP database for the user tables in the BBPress admin settings page
6. Take care of all the cookie settings stuff (won’t focus on this one for now)
My questions for now:
1. Does this sound reasonable, or am I missing something important?
2. I know my steps oversimplify the process – where is it going to get tricky?
3. Is there some benefit to integrating the databases completely, or is the user-only integration ok?
4. How do I handle the fact that “wp_users” has an extra index on “user_nicename”?
5. Will this complicate future upgrades of WP and BBPress?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
hi,
i am trying to activate the bbflickr plugin, but i am getting a fatal error — one other user had the same problem and posted on the plugin comments page, but never got any response from the developer.
is anybody else using this plugin with 0.9.0.4 ?
is there any other way to get a flickr rss gallery onto bb-press?
OK, call me stupid but I have been searching the site and can’t find an answer.
Is there a way to add menu links to BBPress? I would love a link that would at least go back to the main site.
I found a plugin but when I go to download it says link broken.
I have installed the latest Smileys plugin and I am running the latest Private Message plugin.
When I go to my inbox and click “create new pm” the smileys are there to be inserted with the text.
However if I click “pm this user”at the bottom of a post when the page loads to write the message there are no smileys at the top.
Can anyone shed some light on this?
New users wont get mail!
