Yah, it’s pretty disappointing to be honest.
Easy answer. Number one requirement is, that it also has a wordpress theme.
Ashfame, if you check the purpose of that plugin, it’s for cookies to work both ways seamlessly; so it’s “native” for database but I don’t think it’s native yet for all cookies.
Hi smf, I tested Simple forums (I also tested Joomla with Kunena and ccborad, and phbb, and Vanilla).
In the end, I am settling for bbPress for forums because I need single-user sign on with my content system, and I settled on wordpress for that (Joomla was too slow and I wanted a very fast, responsive site).
So if you need forum integration with something, you have more factors to consider than just the forum software itself.
Simple Forums does provide single-user signon with WordPress, but it’s UGLY and there are no good-looking themes. That said, simpleForums is a highly functional forum system and seamless integration with both user and menu-system.
You can enter basic HTML in these posts, like type
<strong>bold text</strong>
and you will see bold text; like that.
Alternatively you can download the bbcode plugins and bbcode buttons plugin from _ck_ (that’s what I did), which makes it easier and visual.
Just found this thread, and wanted to say I am using WP 2.8x and bbPress 1.01 succesfully together now; user integration is just what I wanted. Only catch remains the style (user interface) integration, which I’m hoping to sort out eventually (hard when I don’t know CSS at all).
You got the integration plugin installed? It specifically fixes cookies both ways.
