Mapping WordPress tags with 2.0 tags

   When pressing a forum tag I would love to show regular WordPress posts that contain this tag as well. Any thoughts on an easy way to do this?

   It's easy to combine post types and taxonomies, but it's difficult to come up with a UI that makes sense for both. Search the WordPress codex on how to combine post types and taxonomies. There are a few good examples out there.

   Ok thanks. Does the bbpress plugin use custom taxonomies for topic tags? Because if it just used good old tags (read old school taxonomy), wouldn't my problem be solved?

   Maybe a feature request/idea for future releases of bbpress.

   It's only a problem if you want it that way. :)

   bbPress is going to keep its core taxonomy separate from WordPress posts. If you want to merge them together, it's completely possible to do on your own.

   Since my coding skills are modest I went ahead and asked Justin Tadlock (you need to be logged in to see his answer (best bucks you'll ever spend)), to whom I always trust a reflective answer.

   But he's answer only gave me little hope as well. So for now I've shelved it.
