  1. Thank you for bbpress!

    This thread comes close to answering my question but misses an important concept "where should bbpress code reside to integrate best with wordpress?": http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/38?replies=29

    The directory structure I am planning on using:
    domainname.com (splash screen, redirect to /blog or whatever)
       |
       |---/blog/ (wordpress code in this subdirectory)
       |
       |---/forum/ (bbpress code in this subdirectory)
       ...

    Incase the spaces compress I'll show that another way:
    http://domainname.com/blog/ (wordpress)
    http://domainname.com/forum/ (bbpress)

    Am I making a mistake to not use this directory structure:
    domainname.com
       |
       |---/blog/
       ...      |
                |---/forum/
                ...

    http://domainname.com/blog/ (wordpress)
    http://domainname.com/blog/forum/ (bbpress)

    OR here's a silly one. Noting that wordpress and bbpress seem to share the same filename only with index.php, should all code be in the same directory: http://domainname.com/ (wordpress and bbpress code here with some magic done to the index.php file? like index.php for wordpress and renaming bbpress' to index-bb.php)

    Which directory structure is going to make for the happiest co-existence of wordpress and bbpress with the intention of having them seemlessly interact? My gut feeling is that it just doesn't matter as long as wp-config.php gets included within the config.php for bbpress.

    Thank you!

    What about putting your blog at http://www.example.com/ and putting the forum at http://www.example.com/forum/

    Or, at least have http://www.example.com/ forward to http://www.example.com/blog/ automatically.

    I am not a fan of splash screens.

  3. djuggler,

    exmple.com/blog and examl.com/forums will work fine.

    You will probabl need to customize both WordPress' an bbPress cookies to share logins, though, since bbPres won't be in subdirectory of WordPress. See http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/113?replies=5#post-566
