That is excellent! Thank you!

What the integration in the bbPress config.php does is tell bbPress to use the WP users instead of installing its own users table in the database. No configuration has to go into WP unless later you want to have registrations of bbPress make users in WP (that is a WP plugin) but not needed for an integration installation.
Good luck and let us know how you are making out!
Trent
You must have a MySQL database that WP is installed in. For bbPress and WP to be integrated you have to configure your config.php before install to have your WP specific data in it (there is a portion near bottom) and then install bbPress in the same MySQL database regardless of where the physical files actually reside (your case /blog/ and /forum/). Does that make sense?
Trent
Beautiful! That is great to know! Thanks for this!
Trent
You can have the forum installed wherever, I was talking about having bbPress and WP in the same database.
Trent
You will be able to find a link to the plugin off this page:

It is really easy to install. Just read the readme.txt that is included for directions. If you plan on integrating WP and bbPress, it is best to have a running copy of WP up and going. Then just install your bbPRess in the same database as WP. WordPress will have the database prefix of wp_ and bbPress with bb_
If you have WP running, just install bbPress in the same database.
Trent
For sure, it is a really easy user friendly interface. You don’t have WP installed somewhere do you? There is a plugin that adds the newest phpMyAdmin as an admin page for WP. Lifesaver for me since I don’t like logging into my host admin and then phpMyAdmin and then working. I just login to WP and do what I want.
Trent
Best bet would be for you host to install it for you since that is what almost 100% of good hosts do.

If you email me the code, I can change your first post as we go.

Don’t forget _ck_ to add these plugins to the repository!

Turns out it doesn’t like the ‘allow images’ plugin by mdawaffe. Strange. Turned it off and it works great.
Trent
I tested it on my onvertigo.com site which is not using the default template either. It doesn’t work for me with any themes!

I tried a YouTube embed and it wouldn’t do it. Is there anymore restrictions?
Trent
The Bad Words plugin by mdawaffe could be modified to be automatic couldn’t it (if it isn’t already) since it runs as a filter on posting. It is in the ‘extend’ section.
Trent
The spam is akismet protection, but the advanced moderation I am not quite sure about yet as plugins are the best options thus far.
Trent
As well, having an .htaccess file in the root directory that is not configured right can also bring blank installs. What are you on, Win or Unix? Is it a localhost install?
Trent
The big ones:
Examples
As well, wordpress.com is a huge forum as well as the wordpress MU forum is getting there. Each of the wordpress forums have 2,000+ new registrations each day. Pretty large examples.

Since we have a contact address, closing this thread.

I have a sneaking suspicion that you could help solve some serious bbPress issues quickly! Thought about helping DEV?
Trent
Another one to put on TRAC _ck_ !
Trent
I would just add this as a request in TRAC because I think that is important as well as I have currently 5 plugins (I know I could combine them to 1) to allow code. Maybe a checkbox in the admin?
Trent
WP doesn’t auto close tabs by default either (unless the new editor does it). Does anyone know if the QuickTags plugin for bbPress auto closes tabs?
Trent
The download will be the latest one with the fix.
