Add event calendar to bbpress sidebar

Hello,

I'm new to Wordpress and BBpress but I like the simplicity involved in using them. Currently, I have a wordpress site and a bbpress site that share a database. The wordpress site uses the Event Calendar plugin+widget to display its calendar and in the readme for Event Calendar I found the following:
```
Add the
   following code to your sidebar.php:

     Event Calendar:
     <li>
       <?php ec3_get_calendar(); ?>
     </li>

     Upcoming Events:
     <li>Events
       <?php ec3_get_events(5); ?>
     </li>

   If you are using an older template, then you should check that your HTML
   header contains the following tag: <?php wp_head(); ?>
```
I'd like to add the Event Calendar to my BBpress sidebar; however, this solution doesn't appear to work. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

You would need to include WordPress in your bbPress installation to have access to all the WordPress functions.

Sharing the database does not allow you to use WordPress functions from within bbPress.
