Well thank you both for your responses. I ended up getting frustrated with it, both wordpress and bbpress. As they both want to work as their own individual platform, I could not get them to communicate the way that I needed. Nor, at least copy the theme over to make it a fluid site. I ended up deleting the whole site and I’ll start from scratch with maybe Phpnuke and PhpBB since they can be integrated. Just a pain to configure the way I want.
Basically, I like the ease of WordPress, however, it lacks certain functionality even with all the widgets. BBPress, is new, I’d like to see a functional WYSIWYG editor, the ability to private message, and integrate it into a wordpress site using the same css styles and mainly the header. Right now, its too obvious that you are navigating to two different sites and it lacks a certain possession.
