That would be awesome. I’ve used Buddypress on many of my sites before.

Certainly demand for forum integration with WordPress seems to be picking up here in Australia. bbPress fulfils most of the needs of people wanting integration with WordPress Websites so the continued development of bbPress with integration is very welcome!

Integrating bbpress & wordpress has been the biggest PITA. I’ve followed every tutorial I can find, reinstalled a dozen times and it has yet to work perfectly (you can only logout wherever you logged in). Hopefully better/easier integration will come SOON because I love the idea of a bbpress/WP combo, but it’s almost not worth the hassle.

Looking forward to updates!

Actually, theme integration doesn’t need a full load of both CMSes necessarily. I use PixoPoint Theme Integrator for WordPress, a bit of CSS tweaks and you’re up and running! Anyway I agree with all the rest of the post. Very interesting.

I just dream about the day, when bbPress is a fully integrated WP-plugin.

After deciding to build a series of websites with WordPress and BuddyPress, I started looking into forum add-ons to extend the discussion possibilities beyond comments and the BP “groups”. vBulletin is the industry standard, apparently, although after weighing all the benefits and drawbacks of VB/BBP, I’ve decided to go with bbPress and will wait for the plug-in version to be released. The main reason being the specific purpose of deep integration between bbPress and WordPress.

My question is whether there will be deep cross-functionality and customization implemented between bbPress, the WordPress comments, and BuddyPress? I am very interested in the forums page being the center of discussion for the site, with blog comments and BuddyPress groups being feeders to the forum. Also, any chance for an update as far as estimated timeline for stable release for plug-in version of bbPress?

Thanks for all you guys do, I try to always remind myself that this amazing software is free, and most of the work is done by volunteers! Thanks!

Knowing that bbpress and wordpress would be fully integrated sometime soon we selected bbpress for airportforums.co.uk. However, the usability needs some work and I hope this will be done as part of WP integration… registration without choosing password is a pain and not having “register” button on add reply page doesn’t make sense.

Are changes like this part of the WP integration?

This post is great. I can’t wait for the bbPress to become a plugin. When that happens, it will be totally superb. Way to go.

Have you thought about working with teams like Disqus or IntenseDebate? To me, the work they have done on comments systems are break-through, and the notion of a common system for cross posting of forums and comments is killer (as in “let’s take this conversation to it’s own room”, or “there’s a room for that” sort of functionality).

A broad gauge timeline would be greatly appreciated, to help the community calibrate on how much customization they invest in now.
