After that you can change the "Slug" in the Page management to whatever URL you want, for example <a href="http://www.site.com/bbpress/." rel="nofollow">www.site.com/bbpress/.</a></p> <p>After that your page links to bbpress, OK. But how you make it recognized as a "current page item" when you're in the forums? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/link-to-forum-from-wordpress#post-16774 Sun, 15 Jun 2008 22:59:40 +0000 pokerlover12 16774@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>it seems like wordpress deleted the post slug function in the latest version of wordpress? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/link-to-forum-from-wordpress#post-16772 Sun, 15 Jun 2008 22:32:19 +0000 pokerlover12 16772@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>i feel a bit retarded now but i dont get it...</p> <p>i have the latest version of wordpress but still i cant find anything called slug when i create a new page... i still dont know how to link the forum to my wordpress site... </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/link-to-forum-from-wordpress#post-16770 Sun, 15 Jun 2008 20:26:53 +0000 chrishajer 16770@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>To link your bbPress forum to WordPress, follow this:<br /> <a href="http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/link-to-forum-from-wordpress#post-15981" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/link-to-forum-from-wordpress#post-15981</a></p> <p>Create a new <strong>Page</strong> in WordPress. When you do that, the page is assigned a slug, which is basically the URL it will be accessed at. If you want <a href="http://www.example.com/forum/" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/forum/</a> , you create a new page called "Forum". That page will appear in your WordPress navigation. Then install bbPress into a directory on your server, one directory lower than WordPress, called forum, and when someone accesses that URL, they get your forum.</p> <p>They will never use the same administration pages. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/link-to-forum-from-wordpress#post-16769 Sun, 15 Jun 2008 19:10:34 +0000 pokerlover12 16769@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I still dont get how to link my bbpress forum from my wordpress blog?</p> <p>what is slug? i have installed both bbpress and wordpress, they now use the same database but not the same administration pages...</p> <p>thanks </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/link-to-forum-from-wordpress#post-16767 Sun, 15 Jun 2008 16:01:44 +0000 chrishajer 16767@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Explain more please.

Everything is great, but I can't figure out how to add a link form my Wordpress to the forums. Is there some easy way that I am overlooking? How about a sidebar widget for Wordpress that displays something?</p> <p>I've been looking around this site, but I am confused about the plugins because I am never sure if they are for bbPress only or Wordpress and there is nothing on the Wordpress extension site.</p> <p>Any help would be greatly appreciated.</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> Ted </p>
