   I recently installed bbpress as I was already using a wordpress blog and wanted to add a simple forum to my site. As a strictly technophobic, *simple* was the key point!

   After installing bbpres successfully, I thought it would be nice to integrate the 2. I followed the instructions, but now find when I log-in to the forum as admin I only get an ordinary users rights, ie I can no longer access the admin screens, even if I try to access the url/bb-admin.

   Is there any way I can restore admin rights? or cancel the integration and put thing back as they were? Would a complete re-installation solve the problem? And if so would I lose the forum posts I already put up?

   If you were not integrated before and had both WP and bbPress setup, you have two user tables and will lose the bbPress users (in theory).

   My "fix-admin-access" plugin may give you access but keep in mind if you have two separate tables you are going to lose the info in one. You also must be user #1 or it won't work at all (I should enhance that plugin eventually to do some other tricks).

   Hopefully you are using the WP user table - so try the plugin above and then make sure you login with your WP info, not your bbPress info, into bbPress. I think some people miss this point, that if you integrate into WordPress, you must use your WP login on bbPress.

   Thanks. fix-admin-access solved the problem. Single log-in still doesn't work, but I'm happy that both programs are working independently.
