I’ll try it, good thing for backups! If all else fails i’ll go back to phpbb, if that is my resort i’ll have to find a way to import phpbb into wp…..but not there yet!
@Anthony why don’t you check if “allow new registrations” is enabled at “options” under “site admin” in your wordpress backend ? Read the same question today and provided the same answer, let’s hope it is the same problem !
Hi Boones
I am running buddypress.1.2.3.zip
Thanks for the replies
I am really a big fan of buddypress.
Thanks, glad people are finding it useful! 
I’ve been using it on my own site for a while now. So I thought I’d share the plugin love.
Please rate the plugin and vote if it works for you.
Thanks for everything! You guys rock!
Not with ranks. I’ll mention that to them. They are really busy lately. Not much time to work on it. I have time, but I’m fairly new to this, lol.

Okay I did the internal install of bbpress and it said successfully installed. I have a group and in the group admin the enable forums button is selected. When I click on forum I still have a blank page.
Any advice?
@djpaul no, nothing in the error logs. The system seems to be working as designed, which is what is throwing me.
Looks solid, would love to check it out.
Thanks a lot!! You’re fast! Do you have a code to display toplist with ranks?
Ok, now i just need to import my phpbb db tables……but i can’t find a recent one that might work on the newest version of phpbb which is 3.0.7 pL1
I need to import milleja46games.frih.org/forums to the the bbpress
Ya, right now only the admin pages. I use this link in the sidebar after they are logged in:
http://www.mysite.net/wp-admin/admin.php?page=cp_user_logs
I do have a public page that shows all the points users have earned on the site. Like so:
[cubepoints toplist 0]
I would like to see the users points displayed on there buddypress profile. If I figure it out, I’ll let you guys know for sure.
@scotm – if you read the end of that post, there’s a free solution noted by Brajesh.
Hi Tosh,
What’s the easiest way for my users to view their points? I can’t seem to find a link on my profile page or the buddypress admin bar? Or is the only way to view your points is to go to the WordPress admin pages?
Actually, you know what you might want to do is install bbPress externally, and use whatever bbPress import scripts exist out there.
Then re-run “BuddyPress > Forum setup” when you’re ready to integrate it into BuddyPress and select the existing install option.
It might be wise to omit the forum setup from BuddyPress if you already have a large PHPBB forum post count.
yes i am able to set it up, but and that question has alot of answers but not recent ones that might work with phpbb pL1, to convert the tables, i have already set buddypress up completly and have it fully functional, it’s the bbpress part of buddypress i have a question about
Okay so now that you have the bbpress-admin plugin disabled, are you able to install the forums normally via “BuddyPress > Forums setup”?

Ask your question about PHPBB > bbPress over on the bbPress forums.
@r-a-y Gotcha. Thanks for the help…
Hey @scotm – That’s not the correct usage.
What I meant was copy the the template file I listed above in your child theme and remove everything in it.
Then use bp_profile_field_data(‘field=YOURFIELD’); to list only the xprofile fields you want to list (no need to use functions and remove actions here).
The other method is using a variation of this:

No i am trying to use the install that comes with buddypress, it messed up and gave me those errors. I guess it was that admin plugin. But does anyone know how to convert phpbb to bbpress db tables so i can move people over from my phpbb install on my site?
@r-a-y I’m reaching here to figure this out:
function my_bp_xprofile_name() {
bp_profile_field_data(‘field=Name’);
}
remove_action(‘my_bp_xprofile_name’);
@foxly , mobile apps/internet is the future and if you could make a remote API or add it to ping.fm ,so that mobile users can upload photos!
