I have linked up a bbPress Support Forum (i.e. with (un)resolved indicators) to a web application that it is supposed to support. The web application generates tags that are context-sensitive and links with these to the bbPress Forum, so users are one click away to do a …/tags/abcdef query to the Forum and hey presto, all posts concerning the application page come up.
If somebody has a problem, they can click another link and insert a new Topic post into the same Forum. However this comes up with blank title, post body, and tag fields.
It would be brilliant if there were a way to insert the new topic’s title, part of the post body, and the tag into the New Topic form. Nothing fancy, just three parameters on the #postform URL would do. These parameters are cleaned and stupidly inserted in the form fields, ready to be accepted by the user.

Hi,
I’d like to set up a forum that requires members to pay for access, preferably using Papyals subscription facility. Is there anything available that would easily allow me to do that?
I’m thinking there may be two options –
1. Integrate BBpress with WordPress and use a Premium WordPress access plug-in.
or
2. Have a plug-in that stands alone with BBpress that allows users to subscribe for access.
Does anyone know of any plug-ins/software that exsists that would allow me to do that?
I have had a look at many forum programs to find something useful to do this. The only forum software I have found with premium subscriptions built in is Dolphin/Orca by Boonex. However I’ve had problems with Boonex support and the Orca forum software.
So does anyone have any ideas as to how I can have people pay for access to a BBpress (or any other) forum.
Thanks.

Hi all
After upgrading:
WP2.5 -> 2.7
BBPress 0.9.4 -> 1.0 alpha 6
WP is running badly.
In order to get access to functions of BBPress, I have these lines at the end of wp-config.php:
if ( !defined('BBDB_NAME') )
require_once(ABSPATH.'forum/bb-load.php');
Into the index.php of my WP theme, I wish to display the last topics of the forums, by doing:
<?php
$forums = get_forums();
$topics = get_latest_topics();
$super_stickies = get_sticky_topics();
for ($i=0;$i<3;$i++){
$topic = $topics[$i];
?>
" title="See the message of <?php topic_author();?>"><?php topic_title();
<?php } ?>
The display of the latest messages was working well and still working well after the upgrade, BUT WORDPRESS GETS INTO TROUBLE:
– the css style for the back admin of WP is not working
– the hooks into the plugins are not called anymore (add_action(‘wp_head’, ‘init_js’); where init_js() is never run)
– custom query vars are not detected into the url
Well, when I remove the require_once into the wp-config.php (see below), the trouble disappear.
//if ( !defined('BBDB_NAME') )
//require_once(ABSPATH.'forum/bb-load.php');
How to get it working with the bbpress function without trouble in WP ?
I think this is a very important point for the BBPress integration in WordPress
Thanks
I’m just wondering if bbpress has a few features that I require, I currently maintain a website that has wordpress and phpbb on it. The forums has a whack load of sub forums along with ones only visible by certain members, I’m wondering if it is possible to make sub forums along with special ranks along with moderator and admin?
Because currently trying to make my wordpress theme work on the forums is being a real pain, I’ve gotten it to work for firefox but in IE its a mess, so I’m hoping bbpress could be my salvation if you will.
I’m also wondering if bbpress is easy to setup with Yahoo Small business hosting? I also maintain another site in works that requires a way to post “ads” kind of like craigs list but can only be posted by an admin.
Help on any of these issues would be great.
Ok, i have a mysql database and i added a karma section to users but no matter what i try i can’t get it to print. i do $karma = $bbdb -> get_results(then the tested normally sql select code here) then i put echo $karma->karma. but it prints nothing
I haven’t been able to figure this out, anyone?
I have to integrate some sort of forum in a WPMU 2.6.5 website that will be going live in 20 days. I’d love to use bbPress but not sure which version I should use. the stable .9 release (which as far as I can tell does not integrate well) or the 1.0 alpha and hope for the best. any advice would be apprecated. It is essential for us to have unified login, other features are less important. thanks in advance 
Hi, I am new to wordpress and do not know why when I try to go to my website: www.lifeonholdmusic.com, all of the sudden this error message:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get_header() in /home/content/l/i/f/lifeonhold/html/index.php on line 7
appears! I don’t believe I made any changes and I suddenly got this error and don’t know what to do! any help would be greatly appreciated
Is there a plugin, or even a built in feature that I haven’t noticed that will allow users to subscribe to topics that they are interested in by entering keywords, and/or choosing categories?
So that then they would be able to see all the relevent posts listed in a special page for them somehow?
Hey guys,
I’ve been trying to fix this for 3 days now… however I am sure it is no longer a configuration issue as I went up and down with it for the past 6 hours. I’ve just deleted and installed the latest WordPress MU and started fresh, but before I started integrating I wanted to make sure the cookies were working as intended.
When I check the cookies using Firefox’s Privacy option and my own Web Designer Plugin and viewing the cookies… I notice that all of them have a blank hash at the end…
so for example, where others mentioned it should appear as
wordpress_logged_in_(hash)
mine appears as
wordpress_logged_in_
Why is this happening on a brand new installation? I also deleted the pre-existing Hash keys and let wordpress generate it’s own and put that in the config, and still the same…
I know this ain’t the forums for it, but im sure someone has come across this.
