The only u need to do is to make sure wordpress and bbpress database name and user is the same.</p> <p>To call your forum from wordpress, maybe u can try making new static page and set "post slug" = "bbpress folder". So everytime u click on that page, u will be redirect to your forum.</p> <p>P/S: maybe this will only work if you enable pretty permalink for wp. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/problems-with-installation-and-integration#post-920 Wed, 01 Nov 2006 13:09:20 +0000 shedrock 920@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I just can't get this thing to work. I am doing a local install on my PC and I would like it to be exactly how this site has been setup where I have a nav link at the top that takes me to the forum from WP. </p> <p>Any help would be greatly appreciated.</p> <p>Cheers!<br /> Shedrock </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/problems-with-installation-and-integration#post-919 Wed, 01 Nov 2006 12:38:33 +0000 shedrock 919@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Aren't the 2 using 2 separate databases?

'/' is fine if the site is in root.<br /> $bb-</p> <p>&gt;path = '/bbpress/';<br /> i was then shocked with what i saw.. the installion message! i entered a username for keymaster: admin and it said that it'll use my wp password. i tried logging in but i couldn't. i was taken right back to the index page. i've surfed around this forum and realized that wp integration options in the config file will only work if bbpress is uploaded into the wordpress directory. but i really can't do that because as i've said, i tried that in my first install yet nothing happened. help please! </p>
