Hello,

I am trying to install the newest editions of both WordPress and bbPress onto the same site as of March 10, 2008. The desired URLs for both are:

WordPress: http://www.hooligans-gaming.net

bbPress: http://www.hooligans-gaming.net/forums

I have both running from the same database and thats all setup good. However, I have a few questions:

1) I want a single registration page. Meaning that I want a visitor to the site to click on either the forums Register link or even the front page Register link and be brought to the same page and have both WordPress and bbPress share the same user table … how can this be done?

2)Secondly, I want my registered users to be able to sign in at the front page OR on the forums and be logged in until they timeout or logout… how can this be done?

3)With those two steps, my final request is how can I fully integrate my WordPress and bbPress? I plan to use the WordPress install for front page news and website content and my bbPress to be (you guessed it) my forums. As far as features is concerned, I would just want to display the top 10 most recent threads on the front page as well as another widget I have planned for a different feature that wouldn’t affect the forums so I’ll leave that one along for now.

I have no problem editting files if I need to. I’m no pro but I have enough knowledge to get me by.

Thank you in advance!

No one has anything to add for this one?

@McKrazie – I just removed the bbPress registration stuff and require my users to register through my WordPress (MU) installation, although I’m actually running its registration through a totally customized process as well.

If you set up your cookies in bbP and WPMU properly, then users should only have to log in once (as long as it’s all on the same domain/subdomain) – see here for how i did it https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wpmu-integrated-installation#post-14346
