Thanks chrishajer and Trent. That was what I was leaning towards doing. I thought maybe there’s a way to incorporate bbPress’s loop inside WP’s.
Now back to the drawing board creating the site’s common theme for bbP and WP.
Beau,
Which files should you put this code on? I am also installing bbPress on a MU WordPress. I get the same error. I thought maybe it’s because of WP/MU not compatible with bbPress. I have the same install directories (WP/MU on root and bbPress on /forums/). And I am getting the same 404 error on user profile and post.
Thanks in advance
So far, I experimented and if you comment out [$bb->wp_home] on config.php, it works. Enter the value of $bb->wp_table_prefix and $bb->wp_siteurl, and user table is being shared by bbPress and WP. Like here, I could have a WP user on WordPress.com and my user name will be valid for bbPress.org.
@intellivisio, I don’t know about the cookie part. I still have to investigate. My main intent was to be able to have the user input info only once so that they could be authenticated on both bbpress site and WP site.
@sambauers, bbPress did complain on install about cookies, but after I commented out $bb->wp_home, it continued with the install. I created a user once on one domain and it shared the user on both domains.
