Yup, same issue here with 2.5.7 and widgets. I downgraded back to 2.5.6 and all was well again. 2.5.7 causes a PHP out of memory exception whenever a not logged in user calls a bbpress widget.
Michael,
There is a Simple Machines package called BlogBridger, which allows you to migrate Simple Machines users to WordPress. I’ve not used it specifically to migrate users, but I’ve used it to sync logins between SMF and WP and it will create the WP account based on the SMF login, which sounds like what you want.
As I recall it took a little tweaking to get it to work properly with the latest SMF, but it wasn’t hard. Certainly worth you taking a look.

I’m on an old, but continually updated, WP install with a fresh 1.0.2 BBPress install. I could always make a brand new WP 2.9 integrate with BBPress, but could never make the live site (the updated WP) work. I’d always known it to be something to do with the older WP, but had not found what. Still don’t know exactly what, but the shorter keys make it work.
Jakshi, a sincere thank you.
I had given up trying to make WP/BBP integration work, having tried everything I could find on-line to suggest how to fix things, but with no luck.
However, your suggestion of halving my key lengths from 64 to 32 has it all working. Amazing.
Cheers!
Al
