bbPress does not create the .htaccess file for you like WordPress does. I think in future releases they are considering creating it for you.
https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/838
I don’t think that’s it. With an integrated install, you should only be using the wp_users table, not the bb_users.
There used to be a trick, not sure it this works any longer.

Might be worth a shot. Sorry I can’t be of more help.
Does the search function search the user table at all? I don’t seem to get any “matching users” results.
parthatel can you post your code here?
What function are you using to check if the user is logged in? Does it error out or does it just not display any content (if it does not error, then the function is probably a valid function.)
And showing one content for logged in members and other content for other members is pretty basic PHP:
<?php
if (bb_is_user_logged_in() ) {
echo "You are logged in.n";
}
else {
echo "You are not logged in.n";
}
?>
I’m 99% certain that is the proper function name, and the code will work.
There is a table bb_usermeta (or whatever table prefix you used) that will have a record bb_capabilities and a meta_value of a:1:{s:9:"keymaster";b:1;}. You need to find the account that has that value; that’s your keymaster account.
With an integrated installation, I think the table will be wp_usermeta. To figure out what account it is first, look in the wp_users table and find the keymaster account, and then take the ID from there and check the wp_usermeta table for the proper capabilities.
I think with the proper ID, if it’s not 1, you can change the id in the “Fix Admin Access” to this ID and try the plugin again.
How about IIS access logs or error logs?
Do you have direct access to the database? Can you look and see what the meta information for the admin or keymaster account actually looks like?
Also, that “Fix Admin Access” plugin will only work if your keymaster account is ID #1. Is that true for your installation?
You’re not using WPMU are you? I just noticed this in the first post:
mu cache
That’s just a typo though, right? It was ‘my cache and cookies’?
The CSS for .threadauthor looks like this:
overflow-x: hidden;
overflow-y: hidden;
The end of a long username will just be hidden, that’s all. It’s not something to be fixed. In FF 2.0.0.15, I see hyperhook but if I resize the font, I can see more or less of the name. It’s just a layout thing. Long usernames would break the narrow layout without the overflow being hidden.
Those don’t look like errors to me, they just look like informational messages that the tables already exist, and the reason they already exist is because you are performing a “database integrated installation”, since you already installed WordPress.
Is there some functionality missing that makes you think these are errors?
I see 
So you turn on permalinks to prevent people from viewing anything and putting their request into an infinite loop. Got it.
I see now that it’s still broken. Are you sure there is nothing causing a meta redirect? The only thing that stops the looping for me is to disable meta redirects in my browser. Other than that, it loops forever.
But it *isn’t* just using the normal query strings, I don’t think. They looked like permalinks to me. Did you set the permalinks to true or slugs?
Here are some URLs I saw yesterday:

http://www.louisecooper.com/journal/messageboard/tags/louise
http://www.louisecooper.com/journal/messageboard/profile/chrishajer
Those look like permalinks to me. I think they all gave a 404 error. You said you “switched it over” earlier, to keep it from looping. What did you mean by that?
Is there a register link on the forum home page?
You need to add this to the top of your wp-config.php right after <?php:
require_once('/path/to/bbpress/bb-config.php');
I would use the full server path to the bb-config.php file, not a relative path like ./bbpress/bb-config.php (rumor is that full paths work better) and not a URL like http://www.example.com/bbpress/bb-config.php (URLs won’t work at all here).
That’s it, just one step. Good luck.
What is the equivalent of mod_rewrite on IIS? I mean, what makes the URLs into permalinks rather than just topic.php?id=whatever?
Older versions are available. Pick your release from here:

Can you past that code into something like pastebin or pastie? The formatting is lost displaying it here.
Thanks.

Wow, that most certainly is a problem.
Two thoughts.
1. If I disable “meta redirects” in FF with the web developer toolbar, it does not keep redirecting, it just dies. Are you trying to redirect people from the bbPress profile page to the WordPress profile page, and somehow that is typed wrong? Like in journal/messageboard/profile.php there is a redirect that sends the browser to WordPress journal/wp-admin/profile.php and it’s not working for some reason?
2. There is some weird test cookie stuff being sent, although I doubt it has any effect on this problem. Never know though.
wordpress_test_cookie

I suspect it’s something with a refresh bouncing the user back and forth.
I think I would just try to contact the plugin author for help with that.
Adding that line only allows you access to WordPress functions from within bbPress, it has nothing to do with making your forum look like your blog. For that, you will need to do some CSS and template work: none of it is automatic.
I don’t get an infinite loop, but everything I clicked on in the message board resulted in a 404 error. Did you change something?
Can you post a link to your forum so we can see what’s happening?
