Well I’ve finally done it, Intergrated my WP blog theme with bbPress. It’s not as hard as you think once you look around. Anyway check out my intergration here:

http://www.james-blogs.com/forum (forum)

(There are still 1 or two minor CSS errors but the intergration of WordPress functions has been done successfully.

It’s taken me a few days to figure it all out, but I’ve finally done it. Although it does sound like im bragging alot. I also want to share a website that could also help you do theme intergration:

http://bbpressraw.com/bbpress_blank_themes/

This site provides blank themes that are literally the bare minimum of CSS, but even better they provide blank themes in type so for example my blog layout is a 2 Column design. I would also find this layout on bbpressraw.com and then begin editing it.

Being able to get a pre-coded layout with the bare minimum needed within it, certainly helped me alot. And I was able to understand and modify to intergrate my blog theme into it.

I hope this website can help you to in intergrating your bbPress installation

Nice customisation to the theme.

Sorry for the really late reply. Didn’t see my topic with a reply.

To bbPress’ credit I got that error and alot more when intergrating the wordpress database and theme intergration (But it is currently alpha) and I am looking forward to the stable release of 1.0 now that I’ve seen it and essentially test drived it.

If your still having problems I can only assume your also using the 1.0 alpha as well, in which case I’d suggest you consider downgrading to WordPress 2.5.1 and bbPress 0.9.2. I did a couple days ago and it is very stable, the intergration is perfect and I have no problems with permalinks etc.

Beautiful! You probably made some good tweaks to, because your forum is way faster than your blog!

The only reason I integrated was because I have people with IDs who comment on my blog, and I wanted them to be able to use the same IDs and passwords to use the forums. That was pretty much it.
