Did you try removing Page links for bbPress (1.0.4)? It’s included in the 1.0 series, so you shouldn’t need it.
Well, if someone gives you their id/password, your last step is always to tell them to change it to something else. But yeah, I never give anyone my id/password combo.
You can replace the files.
I would suggest making a new folder, copying over bb-config.php, .htaccess and the my-templates and my-plugins folders. Then rename the folders and go visit 
Worked like a champ for me.
The problem, as I see it, is that you need both web-based file editing capabilities (for the theme), but probably also file UPLOADS and such for upgrades (since bbpress isn’t click-to-upgrade yet, and neither are a lot of apps out there).
Mrh. The best way is to get your server dude to upload the files for you, but that gets REALLY annoying REALLY fast. How did you get bbPress installed in the first place?
(I do understand why they do this, I just think they’re stupid. I spent a month arguing that it was just as safe to give me, and ONLY me, access to upload to my folder at work, since it’s not like the server guy wasn’t just copying up what I gave him. In the end, the server guy said he had better things to do with his time and they gave me access.)
If you’re tech inclined, yes, the forums are all the help you need. The problem is a lot of bloggers AREN’T. That’s why WP.com and TalkPress exist! Keep the non-geeks out of the geek part, and let them just blog.
If you’re NOT, then a plate of cookies is great If I was going to charge for it, I’d say $25 for an install and bog-standard install of someoneelse’s theme (no major layout changes, just little tweaks). $5 for upgrades and ‘OMG! I borked my DB! HAAAALP!’ problems. If you want a custom design, I’m out of the biz. If I were to charge for a WP/BB integrated setup, probably $35 or $40, depending on how much I liked ’em.
citizenkeith – Dump your browser cache (browsers lurve to cache CSS). If it’s still all messed up, make sure you upgraded all the files in the bb-admin folders.
Not everyone is tech savvy.
I installed, configured, theme-tweaked and such a WP/BB site for a friend for a plate of cookies. Every time she needs tech help, she shows up with more.
Huh, this would explain why, suddenly, my site was hammered. Between this and the Apache DoS flaw they just found, I’m glad I hardened my server!
Try this…
<?php if (is_topic() ) : ?>
<?php topic_tags(); ?>
<?php endif; // is_topic() ?>
I use that in my sidebar.php file, and it works fine.
WP has, built in, a one-click updater for themes, plugins and the core. If you’re on WP 2.7 or 2.8, you don’t need a plugin at all. You can search for and download themes and plugins from the admin interface.
Like as not, this functionality will eventually be included with BB, but it’s probably low on the list.
@mikemcd22 – You crossed two of my posts, which were about different things.
You could just edit your theme. Change the header file to have whatever menu links you want.
This was in reference ONLY to the question of how to make your menu links the sme on BB and WP.
A lot of bbPress’s functions come in the form of Plugins, so it’s easier for people to pick and chose what they want in their forum.
This was as reply to his second concern of:
… I can’t really delete posts or move to the appropriate area. This scares as me as I am sure there are a ton of other basic functions you should be able to do but can’t.
So … both answers are right, but they’re neither the answer to what I think you’re asking which is: “Is there a plugin to make my header look the same between WP and BB?”
Answer: No.
That plugin doesn’t exist (yet). Sorry.
And you can restrict access while still allowing web designers to access what they need to install software. It’s silly to prevent ALL access just to stop SOME people. A web designer/developer should have access to SFTP or however you want to upload files. A marketer should not.
anointed – If I were you, I’d leave it alone and keep vbulletin. There’s no reason to change if everything’s working and you don’t hate vbulletin Now, if you do hate it…
bbPress isn’t a plugin, and if you can’t FTP or SSH in, I don’t think there’s an easy way to install it. What a silly IT department! SFTP and SSH are perfectly safe!
Did you rename your keys in bb-config? Like define('BB_AUTH_KEY', 'KEYNAME');
Also, don’t share your keys with anyone They should be SECRET
So far, everything that works on RC1 works on RC2 and RC3.
In your theme, edit the file topic-tags.php
Well yeah, it’s not working
Look at this picture: http://yfrog.com/eahtaccessg
You’ll see what I mean about $1

I can’t get the link to work right 
WP 2.8 (not MU), been integrated since 2.7 without issue once I re-set my secret keys. The only hard time I had was sorting out my cookie paths, since I have my blog at domain.org/blog, but it’s ACCESSED at domain.org, and the forums are domain.org/forums.
This has been working like a champ:
// WordPress cookie integration speedup
$bb->wp_siteurl = 'http://domain.net/blog';
$bb->wp_home = 'http://domain.net';
$bb->cookiedomain = '.domain.net';
$bb->cookiepath = '/';
$bb->authcookie = 'wordpress_COOKIE';
$bb->secure_auth_cookie = 'wordpress_sec_COOKIE';
$bb->logged_in_cookie = 'wordpress_logged_in_COOKIE';
$bb->admin_cookie_path = '/forums/bb-admin';
$bb->core_plugins_cookie_path = '/forums/bb-plugins';
$bb->user_plugins_cookie_path = '/forums/my-plugins';
$bb->sitecookiepath = '/blog/';
$bb->wp_admin_cookie_path = '/blog/wp-admin';
$bb->wp_plugins_cookie_path = '/blog/wp-content/plugins';
Also I kick all http://www.domain.net traffic back to straight domain.net to force things to be in order, which may be useful to someone.
As a novice bike commuter (who visits Toronto) WOOT! Your site looks good If you do, eventually, bring WP into the game, you may need some finagling, as ‘reverse’ integration is a bit un-tested.
Put this in your .htaccess file at the public_html level:
# Getting rid of the WWW in front
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.investorsbuzz.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://investorsbuzz.com/$1 [L,R=301]
If you have wordpress info in that file, put this BEFORE the WP stuff.
Ugh and there’s a bug in put $1 right after the / in http://investorsbuzz.com/
I don’t know why that’s happening. See http://yfrog.com/eahtaccessg
What’s ‘this’?
Cause as I said, you CAN delete posts and move topics. What ‘this’ are you talking about?
@grassrootspa – I have no issues removing or adding tags. I added one, removed it, re-added it, no problems.
No login-logout issues or integration with WP issues.
(Where’s the ‘Buy Sam a beer’ button on this thing?)
