thank you bbolman.. I was placing the code after that line, not before. That did it… but I had to disable “Ultimate Tag Warrior” plugin to keep from getting any errors.
Now, on to trying to customize the look of bbpress. Thanks again.
so1o, thanks for the reply.
when you say “include the wp-config.php in the config.php”… is that not what I did when I added the line of code:
require_once( '/home/content/j/z/l/jzlharvey/html/wp-config.php');
Bueller… Bueller… Bueller… 
@mdawaffe:
Did something change in 0.74 in regards to the line needing added in the config.php
@abbaantho
I am using the official release and still get that error. Have you fixed it?
I found where on the forums where someone suggested putting
require_once( ‘/home/content/j/z/l/jzlharvey/html/wp-config.php’);
I did this and got the following error.:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare is_serialized() (previously declared in /home/content/j/z/l/jzlharvey/html/forums/bb-includes/wp-functions.php:914) in /home/content/j/z/l/jzlharvey/html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 281
