The header that I am using is a modified version of the default theme header file that came with wordpress. It should be in the same location and called by the same name as the default header file. I am sort of a noob at code but I thought because my header file appears at on the index/home page when the website loads that things were working. By “appropriate call to” do you mean the “get_header” php command?
Secondly, the entire theme is located in the wp-content folder within a default theme sub folder. That is why there is no reference. Again, I am probably really confused by what you mean so it is probably something I am doing wrong.
The entire site may be a hack job, because it is my first, but up to this point everything has worked flawlessly, including all of my plugins.
I suspect there is a simple solution to preventing the WP css from overriding bbP css but I haven’t figured it out yet.
For whoever is interested, one of the links I provided above no longer works because I deleted the post. I’m still playing around with things to get a feeling for how they work. Everything seems to be working great, except my WP css has taken over and prevents bbP css from working. Also, the gravatars are not showing up, but that is also like a problem of the css.
Here is a link that does work to show what my forum topic looks like. You’ll notice the css is exactly the same as my blog posts.

If anybody can help clarify to a noob like me exactly what I need to do to make the bbP css work its magic I would be eternally grateful. I am running a modified default WP theme.
My theme is the default theme, but highly modified. Reading back a little bit it looks like Rick Lewis and I might have the same problem, that we need to figure out how to let the bbpress css do its own thing, yet my website’s css is taking it over, which is what’s messing it up.
JJJ gave three options to remedy the situation, the third option not being possible for me, and the first two doable, but a little bit over my head.
Do you know what’s causing the gravatars not to show up, the css maybe?
It’s a fresh install with the 3167 changeset. I’m not quite sure what you mean by “check out the child theme functions.php to grab the code.”
I’m kind of a perpetual noob so bare with me. 
Also, if I do already have the function.php code installed, could it be that my site’s css is overpowering the plugin’s css?
Hello!
I just installed the plugin because I couldn’t wait any longer. So far I haven’t found any glitches. It seems to work quite nicely and fits into the rest of my website as if it were just another page.
The only problem I see with it right now is aesthetics. It looks terrible on my website. I suppose that is because it is being governed by the same css that governs the rest of my website’s content.
I am hoping that I can either do something right now to make it match better, or that something will get done in the future to make it match better. For example, here is a single post:
http://dailyanarchist.com/2011/05/10/the-success-story-of-sovereign-curtis/
and here is an example of a forum post:
http://dailyanarchist.com/topic/hello-daily-anarchists/
I am hoping one day to make the forum post look just like, or at least a lot like, the single post.
Is it possible for me to do now? Or do I need to wait?
Secondly, I haven’t figured out how to transfer a forum post to the blog, or single post yet. Can somebody clue me in on how to do that?
Lastly, I read somewhere that the plugins for the standalone version of bbpress are not compatible with the plugin. Understandable. But is this true also for WordPress plugins? For example, I am running a Gravatar plugin for wordpress and would really like to have gravatars for my forum section. Is this a no go? Also, will there ever be plugins FOR the plugin? How would that work?
Thanks for the plugin and for all of the help!
How can we get informed when the plugin alpha becomes available?
I want to thank you for making this plugin. It’s been too long that WordPress users have waited for a fully integrated forum.
I’m also really happy that it’s coming out in a few days. This is just what I need.
Thanks again.

But the plugin will? That’s impressive! I can’t wait until the plugin comes out. I just installed a test bbpress on a dummy site to see how it looks. It’s pretty smooth. I really think bbpress has the potential to dominate the forum industry if people get behind it like they do WordPress.
You’re running the alpha version now, correct? Then comes the Beta and then the stable?

The regular bbpress installation won’t do that, you think? I should wait for the plugin?

That makes much more sense now! Thank you!
I think it might be better for me just to wait for the plugin version of bbpress. Can you give me a guestimate when it will come out? It would be much appreciated!

I’m getting confused by the buddypress and bbpress thing. Are they like apples and oranges? Or granny smith and golden delicious? Should I just wait until 1.1 comes out? When will that be?
Is there any way to migrate my SMF database to bbpress?
Is there a way to test install bbpress and then switch to it if I like it? I’m kind of a noob, so a link to anything that explains how to do that would be great. Thanks for the help, John!

Thanks! Can you point me to any websites that are good examples of the integration between bbpress and wordpress?
