    Hello,

    I have been using wordpress for a year now and have decided I need a forum, hence I found myself on the BBPress site. I have setup bbpress and so far so good. I now want require a plug-in or instructions to add a new page to my wordpress site called Forum and when clicked it loads the forum as a page, and my wordpress header and menus remain along with widgets remain. I cannot find how to set this up. I know I can have a page called forum and when clicked a new web browser window will pop up with the forum in on a separate page but I don’t want this.

    Can anyone help.

    Hi,

    thanks, theme integration would be good but to start with I just want to display the bbpress forum within my wordpress blog. i can then choose a forum theme that closest matches my wordpress theme.

    probably not the correct place to post but i did try buddy press, i love the loog and feel and the forum which is bbpress (i believe) looks great but i dont like the way you have to create and be part of a group rather than just creating a new topic like bbpress….unless i have missed something.

    you are trying to have both the approaches altogether. either you can display forum inside your WordPress by deep integration or just select a theme which matches to your WordPress on a regular standalone install.

    BuddyPress forums is what you will have with deep integration theme matching in terms of look
