Hello,
I have been running wordpress 2.6.x and bbpress 0.9.0.2 on the same server
While wordpress (with many plugins) runs pretty fast, my bbpress forum appears to be very slow
Even without plugins, I had the impression bbpress runs much slower than wordpress (with plugins)
How can I troubleshoot this ?
thanks
Help, please. A very basic question, maybe a sticky would be a good idea? I have successfully installed and integrated the latest alpha version (as of today) with WordPress 2.6.3, (congratulations to the team) but I can’t figure out how to get into the administration area.
Hi,
I am in the middle of the install of bbPress (latest alpha as of today) and I get asked for the user database table prefix. Looking at my wp-config.php file, all I see is the following:
// You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique prefix
$table_prefix = ‘wp_’; // Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!
Does that mean that I don’t have a WP user database table? What do I need to do? This is my first site and I don’t have any users yet except myself as admin – translation: I am an extreme newbie and just want to get the rest of this install finished.
I am using WordPress 2.6.3
Cheers
I am using 1.0alpha2 bbPress without WP integration. Users are unable to save the edits to their profile. When clicking Update Profile it only reloads the page without saving the new details. Any ideas?
I dont have BBPress Live enabled so I pull the forums into my WP blog via RSS widget. It says ‘[Author] on’ at the beginning of each post. I like how WP has an option to display author at the end of the post in italics instead.
Where is the output code for the RSS that can be removed/tweaked?
v 0.9.0.2
I want to move all data in current bbpress to newly installed bbpress. Hosting compay is different.
Would you advise how i should do?
I just thought I would share my experience with an attempt at an integrated installation. I downloaded WordPress 2.6.3 via svn and then created a directory forum and downloaded bbPress alpha 2 via svn there. I modified the wp-config.php by hand and installed WordPress just fine. I didn’t do any further configuration of WordPress.
Then I went to install bbPress with an attempt at integration. Things were going along pretty smoothly. (As an aside: I think the installer should tell you when it first asks for the keys that you don’t need to worry about them here if you’re going to be integrating, since you will be entering WordPress keys at a later point. I wasted time generating new keys here which end up being unused.) I selected all the integration settings, but did not use custom user tables. I got to step 3 and it said “Your installation completed with some minor errors. See the error log below for more specific information. ” The error below was “Forum could not be created!” (I’ve had that happen before.)
Since this was a minor error, I figured I would just continue and see how it goes. Clicking the link to my forum results in a Redirect Loop error in Firefox3. The page hangs for a while, never loads, then times out.
I just figured I would share that experience here. If anyone wants more information, please let me know.
I’ve copied the same navbar I’m using on WordPress into BBPress, it has hard links, so it should be straightforward, but for some reason, within this header.php file, the links aren’t live.

The code looks like this:
<div id=”smallNav”>
| Events
| Blog
| Forum
| Store
| Contact </p>
</div>
<!– end smallNav –>
I just wanted to announce I have a primitive prototype of OpenID working with bbPress and should have a more stable version for experimental testing within a few days (likely by the end of the weekend). The only requirement is your PHP needs CURL with https (ssl) support, which many servers have or can easily add ie. via cpanel’s rebuild PHP (check your PHPINFO to be certain).
I finally got an old openid 1.1 framework working with openid 2.0 so this makes it possible to use it with all the newest providers: aol, yahoo, microsoft and now even Google (as a “consumer”, not as a server).
The biggest problem was making it work without extra libraries like the complex math support and even DOMXML which is not available on many shared hosting PHP4 servers. But found a way around that too 
I’ll eventually add fsockopen support with ssl so even CURL is not a requirement.
ps. OpenID on WordPress.com needs to be fixed to offer a secure login when a cookie is not present like every other provider. This is annoying 
I have been getting reports that registrants on my bbpress forum aren’t receiving their auto-generated password emails from my server.
I’ve read a few threads on this forum that suggest workarounds. But I’m more interested in allowing my users to set their own passwords.
There’s a neat WordPress plugin that does exactly what I want:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-password-register/
I don’t even need the email confirmation/validation code part. I just want users to be able to specify their own passwords. If bot registrations become a problem, I’d just install a captcha plugin.
Can someone adapt that code into a bbpress plugin that allows for user-defined passwords? I’d be glad to pay $100 to anyone who can deliver a working plugin! Plus I’d be eternally grateful and would have no objections to open sourcing any code that came out of this.
Please let me know!
