Just to be sure, I’m starting fresh so I should bash this:
mkdir forum
cd /forum
svn co http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/trunk/ .
Right? Did I miss anything?
Edit: It was right. Thanks guys!
You could hack it in the meantine. Select the same password for the new username, and then using phpMyAdmin you can modify the user tables so that the new user has the same username as the WP user.
Oh wow! That’s downright sexy. I really like the red accents. Any chance we could get some full-screen shots?
Well, I’m not using bbpress just yet, but as far as the look goes you can just snag the CSS file, assuming Matt doesn’t care. Also, weirdtherapy has a good point in that pasting the CSS file in your directory won’t necessarily work; you’ll have to put in the hooks and whatnot that they use here.
