I installed muwordpress (with directories not subdomains) and bbpress and integrated them.. I added
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?forum/(.*) forum/$2 [L,R]
to the .htaccess in the wp directory and it worked before i added the code
define(‘WP_BB’, true);
if ( !defined(‘DB_NAME’) ) {
require_once(‘/home/.atrax/armsteadj/myiowa-news.com/blogs/wp-config.php’);
}
into the bb-config.php file to get integration to work.. now it gives me a loop error..? any ideas on how to get the htaccess file to forward the directory to it?
Thanks!

I’m considering switching from phpbb to bbPress, but I’ve run into nothing but problems when it comes to working on my own profile. The registration process goes just fine, but after I log in, I can’t get to my own profile?
Is there something else I have to do? Do I have to remember that awkwardly long and unintuitive password that was sent my way? Can’t I set any preferences in my profile?
This isn’t on my site, this is right here on bbpress.org forums.
I installed bbPress today and going through the installation I added a new database for it to use, then later as I went further into the installation it mentioned sharing one database. I’m unclear as to what differences it will make using one or two. It also seemed a bit scary to have specified the wp database to set up bbPress into.
If there’s some documentation that explains all this, could someone point me in the right direction?

It’s time to take another look at the (unofficial) bbPress Top 100 list! I’ve come up with some more advanced ways to find bbPress forums and I am pleased to announce the full list has broken 3,000 forums and provided for some new discoveries for the Top 100:
http://bbshowcase.org/forums/view/top100
(based on activity, not quality, which is subjective)
If you register/login you can also see the sites that may have just missed the top 100 via the top 1000:

August update was essentially aimed at finding new sites, not updating stats for existing sites. I’ll do a full re-analysis next month.
Some really nice looking sites among the bunch. I enabled “snapshots” so you can mouse-over their little logo and get a general preview. I hope to improve the list soon with the ability to vote on the design of any site.
Also new for this month is an attempt to guess what country the site is “aimed at” (not hosted in or TLD used). This is very difficult to determine and I estimate my automated route is currently correct only 70% of the time.
Some interesting statistics…
1) bbPress has been installed on at least 4000 sites
2) There are now at least 200 sites with over 1000 posts.
3) A bbPress forum will break one million posts late 2008
More analysis as I have time…
If I missed your site be sure to post it for the next update!
I’ve installed bbPress 0.9.0.2 (the last one), converted db from miniBB, writed new topic (e.g. it happens even to native bbPress content) but when I press ” Edit” (which points to http://forum.ttl79.ru/edit.php?id=11178), it redirects me to http://forum.ttl79.ru/topic.php?id=11178, and of course, error page with “Topic not found.” message. What can I do with it?
PS. I have
akismet
bb-avatar-upload
bb-gzip
bb-polls
bb-privatemessage
bb-rus-to-lat
bb-signatures
BBcode-buttons
BBcode-lite
bozo
cyr_nickname
googleanalitycs
human-test
identicon
my-views-statistics

onlinelist

PPS. Right now I use “None” pretty permalink type
ok — I’m a newbie to bbpress, and a relative newbie to wordpress, so please bear with me.
I have wordpress installed in my site’s root directory. I installed bbpress into root/bbpress. I made all the needed settings to changes to call the wp headers from my bb-config file, and vice versa.
Then, I made a newbie mistake of trying to rename my bbpress folder to root/forums, and also changed the setting in my bbpress admin > settings of my bbpress directory to “root/forums.” (thinking this would somehow magically just work) Now, when I try to access my bbpress admin page, I simply get redirected to my wordpress homepage. It seems that the header information is screwed up now, I suspect it has something to do with the filenames and absolute paths, but I have no idea how to fix it or to begin diagnosing it.
Please help!
I updated WordPress to 2.6 and now the config file doesn’t have a SECRET_KEY for me to match when integrating bbpress. Instead I have these fields:
AUTH_KEY
SECURE_AUTH_KEY
LOGGED_IN_KEY
How does this work now?
Hi,
I’m trying to install a new bb-press form, and have followed the quick installation instructions — unzip, upload, visit URL. I’m getting the following error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘=’ in /home/cmpg/www/www/site/forum/bb-config.php on line 22
Problem is, there is no bb-config.php at this point in the installation, at least according to the instructions.
Manually creating a bb-config (from the included sample file) and filling in the appropriate information yields the same result.
