   I tried implimenting the user sync with wordpress but then realised I needed the two systems to use the same database. So I went through exporting the data from the bb database to put in the wp database. But it wont import because it says wp_usermeta and wp_users already exists in the wordpress database.

   Correct me if I am wrong, because what I know about databases and sql you could put on the back of a postage stamp, but I think these two fields? have come from me trying to integrate the databases so is it ok to delete wp_usermeta and wp_users from the bbpress database before copying to the wordpress database?

   Key Master

   That's right as long as you don't have any users in those tables that you need to transfer to the other wp_* tables.

   Okay, bit of a problem. I have managed to sync so that bb sign in looks to wp database and I can log in with wp details on bb but when I do administrator in wp is just a registered user in bb and I havent got access to the bb admin panel... I cant seem how to work out how to give top privilidges to a user without logging into the admin panel in bb which I cant do!

   Not a problem as long as you have access to the databases. :) Open phpMyAdmin through your administration panel of your web hosting account, go to your database, open wp_usermeta and then click the 'Search' tab. Put into the "search conditions" field user_id = 1 AND meta_key = 'bb_capabilities' (this should be the user_id of your admin account). Edit the (hopefully) one result that comes up, and change the meta_value to a:1:{s:9:"keymaster";b:1;}. Then you should be keymaster.
