I found the answer. It’s not Buddypress, it’s WordPress MU. See: https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/15324 . Apparently, wp-activate.php doesn’t load the Buddypress login including the hooks. Weird thing it doesn’t happen to everyone..

Well, that makes sense. Still, if it’s a bug and it’s fixed in newer versions…someone should know about it right?

ok…well I have been trying for the past couple of hours, just right after I posted this I found the solution..all new members in bbpress are ‘inactive’. The user mapping in bbpress is correct though, so I’m not sure how to fix this (except for manually changing it).

Hi guys, I’m having the same problems. When I do not add the $bb->bb_xmlrpc_allow_user_switching = true; line to the bb-config file it works, but just for the admin. After adding it, bbpress keeps coming up with the famous ‘There was an error posting that topic.’ notification. Since it’s dificult to debug a message like that I just can’t find out what can be wrong…I just updated the BBPress installation to 1.0.2, but I still have the same problem.

I hope somebody can help me out, thanks .

Trent, thank you for your instructions. It got me much further in integrating buddypress and bbpress. Unfortunately I still run into the “There was an error posting that reply.” error. I’ve tried everything with no luck, now I think it might have something to do with the fact that I’m running Buddypress/BBPress on a Windows machine (in Apache though). Can anyone confirm this? I enabled the CURL extension for PHP, but that didn’t help.

I tried the Buddypress and BBPress versions from the SVN respositories, still no luck. Anyone got suggestions left?
