I’ve just released the new Dall’Uva Forums for Italian wine, food, travel and culture on our website at dalluva.com.  I’ve integrated it into the site with Buddypress and the Woocommerce plugin (using the Woo Themes Whitelight Theme).

Have a look sometime.  http://www.dalluva.com/member-area/forums/

Cheers!

Its rather impressive to say the least, extremelly well integrated with your theme.

I particularly like this topic showing what an awesome bbPress topic looks like

Thanks for the kind words, Stephen.  I still have some format tweaking to do in the coming weeks, but it’s mostly there.  That page in particular (the Experimental Chianti Wine Tour map) shows off the integration of the Woo theme formatting with the Forum post.  For that one, I used the MS live writer (that uses my theme formatting) to draft it, then just cut-and-pasted the html into the Forum editor.  Worked like a charm.

It will take a while to get the Forum participation up, but so far, so good.

Cheers
Michael

It’s nice to see a few CSS tweaks providing deep integration into an existing WordPress site.

Thanks for sharing!
