After filling in step one of the installation I get this message:
Now we’re going to create the database tables and fill them with some default data.

I’m sorry I don’t understand what all that means. Can someone here help me? Thanks.

Hello,
I followed all the steps mentioned in the installation and bbpress got installed properly but it doesn’t display the forum properly.
you can see the forum login here : http://www.reviewsaurus.com/bbpress/
but you’ll see that it doesn’t look correct as no images no css is loaded.
It’s a fresh installation and i’ve not changed anything else. Can you please suggest me what could be the problem….I’m using the pretty permalinks feature….could that be a problem?
hi, I have bbpress and wordpress fully working together, the only issue is that when a user registers with bbpress and leaves a comment it appears as anonymous. I have tried adding post_author but no joy, any ideas?
Hi guys. Trying to install bbPress along with my current WordPress 2.3 installation.
WordPress was a snap! I had that sucker done in about 5 minutes.
bbPress is a different animal. my install.php page says “Cannot select DB”.
Is there a comprehensive Install doc that I am missing? I feel as if I have a lot of questions about the info on the page https://bbpress.org/documentation/installation/
Any help would be appreciated.
Hello.
I’m trying to make a bar that stays constant in every part of my website and I want to include the login form/profile link in it, but I have to check if the user is logged in or somehow be able to use bbpress functions out of bbpress.
Any recommendations for this?
I’m running a discussion on bbPress at WordCamp Melbourne this weekend and I’m looking for a good WordPress/bbPress integrated site (or two) to show as an example.
Preferably one run by someone here, with a reasonable amount of traffic, so I can prod them with questions about it.
Anyone?
Hi — I’m looking for a very simple rendition of bbPress where I can just have one thread displayed on my main page and have users interact with just that one thread (and nothing else). Ideally, I’d like to utilize the comments part of the software only — where I can have a page where people can post comments only and post them indefinitely…
Can someone point me in a direction to configuring the system to do this? Is this easily possible?
thank you very much.
Not my site, a forum at a WP plugin author’s site:

I didn’t realize it was a bbPress installation for a few minutes until I looked at it. It was just a support forum, nothing screamed out kakumei to me 
(I cross posted this in the WP Support forums)
Hi,
Last night I did my first install of WordPress with a little help from the nice people hanging out in the Installation Forum – thanks again everybody. BTW, it took me a long time to do as I’m very new to mysql, php, ect.
Today, I’d like to add a forum. I’m very worried about screwing up my database or having to tinker with too many files. I’d like to add it now because I’ve yet to start customizing my site (WP is my main page BTW)and figure I should get all the things I want in there first, then go to work adding content ect.
I’ve read (or at least looked at the headlines for the first 100 post in these forums related to forums plugin).
So, here’s my question:I want a forum that will have about 10 or so categories listed under about five different cities. For instance: Chicago Jobs, Housing, For Sale, Events, ect.
Of course I want people only to log in once and I understand that bbPress and some plugins can do that.
It doesn’t have to be fancy or anything.
So, as a newb to using databases and php, should I choose a stand-alone like bbPress or a plugin I just upload to Wp?
I’m asking you assuming you are much more experienced with these things than I and will know which is better for someone at my level.
Thanks for reading this long post
Hi,
How do you change the size, mainly height, of the input boxes in registration.php like in https://bbpress.org/forums/register.php?
You might need to log out and go to that page to see what I’m talking about. I want to change the height of the input boxes next to username, e-mail, website, etc.
Thanks,
Eric
