This is probably possible through a custom plugin. But you probably want to ask over at the Buddypress forums…
I posted this a few weeks back. Someone was going to post a “how to” of exactly that:
bbPress, WPMU and BuddyPress Integration help is coming
Doesn’t look like the linked-to pages have been updated yet.
Thanks all, I’ll give this a try.
Best wishes,

Hmm..it looks like they say to use the functions.php file (for the theme) to add the code, but I don’t see such a functions file…am I missing something obvious?
If it doesn’t exist, go ahead and make one. WordPress and bbPress are designed to look for that file regardless.
Ok..thanks…well, this is what I did, but it doesn’t work. I followed the advice given in the link above:
1. Created a function called functions.php inside my template folder (bb-templates/kakumei/functions.php) and put in it the code:
function recreate_bb_admin_bar() {
echo ‘<div id=”wp-admin-bar”><ul class=”main-nav”>’;
bp_adminbar_logo();
bp_adminbar_login_menu();
bp_adminbar_account_menu();
bp_adminbar_blogs_menu();
bp_adminbar_notifications_menu();
bp_adminbar_authors_menu();
bp_adminbar_random_menu();
echo ‘</div>’;
}
add_action( ‘wp_footer’, ‘recreate_bb_admin_bar’, 8 );
add_action( ‘admin_footer’, ‘recreate_bb_admin_bar’ );
add_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘bp_core_admin_bar_css’, 1 );
2. Added to my bb-config.php file, this line
require_once(‘../wp-blog-header.php’);
Am I still missing something? Thanks
yes add in header.php wp_head() and in the footer.php wp_footer() the first before </ head> and the second before </ body>
thanks..just did that and get
Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_head() in /home/alumnide/public_html/forum/bb-templates/kakumei/header.php on line 33
am I still missing some code?
nevermind…forgot to put in the
require_once(‘../wp-blog-header.php’);
this seems to work fine, but I’ve noticed another problem…when you go to the admin page to administer the forum, I get a failure again, like this:
Warning: require_once(../wp-blog-header.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/alumnide/public_html/forum/bb-config.php on line 5
Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘../wp-blog-header.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/alumnide/public_html/forum/bb-config.php on line 5
has anybody else gotten past this error?
use this:
require_once( $_SERVER . ‘/wp-blog-header.php’ );
Hi guys,
FYI, I’ve updated the code for the BuddyPress bar in bbPress:
https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1152#post-18510
It uses bbPress’ header and footer hooks, instead of WordPress’.
The BP bar now also works in the bbPress admin area as well!
