A user registered with WP doesn’t get registered in bbPress. Is it like to be that only? I don’t need open registrations throughout the year but just fixed accounts for students. So I just want to allow the accounts to be integrated in some manner like WP & bbP uses the same table or the both wp_users & bb_users are in sync. How do I go about it?
Finally got it working using _ck_’s plugin. Now I want the same login sync with my custom php pages. Any pointers regarding what I should be doing? I think I will need the code used in _ck_’s plugin and the bbPress core file. Am I right?
Hello Kevin!
Thanks for your reply! 
I did a clean install of WP 2.7 and then I activated Ann’s plugin.
Then I added the code those three lines in wp-config.php and lost access to dashboard.
Redirect Loop
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
The browser has stopped trying to retrieve the requested item. The site is redirecting the request in a way that will never complete.

* NOTE: If accepting the site’s cookies does not resolve the problem, it is likely a server configuration issue and not your computer.
I am currently testing on localhost (XAMPP). Any idea what is causing this loop? May be I need to edit those lines but I dont know how to.
I had to delete the plugin from the plugin directory to access dashboard again.
I would not think of going beyond WP 2.7 unless I am unable to achieve the sync. And regarding the Open ID integration, I would like to keep myself away from it as I need to allow only registered users to login.
@Txanny
Thanks for the feedback. I think I will start with the stable release only.
@ _ck_
I am also going to use bbPress alpha for a live site. I don’t want to use any plugins. Just what bbPress is offering at the moment is required (more functionality is not a pain though). Should I go for it as I have tested with WP 2.7 for login syncs (partly – the way i want with my custom user panels). Would like to know your opinion. Thanks!
@ _ck_
I was able to have premalinks like the way I want by just uncommenting a line in some configuration file. I may be mis interpreting you but what do you intend to tell here?
I wasn’t able to get WP 2.7 + bbPress 0.9 in sync but when I tried WP 2.7 with bbPress alpha 6, I am able to get a sync but not fully.
Dividing this into 4 cases :
CASE I
Logged in from : WP
Reflected in other : Yes
Logged Out from : WP
Reflected in other : Yes
Complaints : None so far
CASE II
Logged in from : bbP
Reflected in other : Yes
Logged Out from : bbP
Reflected in other : Yes
Complaints : None so far
CASE III
Logged in from : WP
Reflected in other : Yes
Logged Out from : bbP
Reflected in other : No
Complaints : Unable to logout. Doesn’t reflect anywhere.
CASE IV
Logged in from : bbP
Reflected in other : Yes
Logged Out from : WP
Reflected in other : No
Complaints : Unable to logout. Doesn’t reflect anywhere.
I guess the only problem is that logging out from other than where you logged in doesn’t logged you out.
Let me try and get back. < WP 2.7 + bbPress 0.9 >
Hi Warren
I am working for WP + bbPress for my college website and I will create accounts in one go. There won’t be open registrations. I just need to have the functionality of using same login credentials at both place and logged in at both WP & bbPress at the same time. Students will need to login before they can comment on posts on WP. Can I achieve this with WP 2.7 and bbPress 0.9?
Hey!
I just need a CMS and forum functionality with possible solution for added accounts where they can have access to certain content like download links and I want the login credentials to be same throughout the site. This way I will make everybody a account and they will then need to login into the account even for posting comments.
Either I use some plugin (if it exists) or write my own code that can use the same username and password from the WP or bbPress database. I think that is pretty much feasible but I am concern about the security as I am not an advanced user.
Please guide in some direction.
