Totally über super-fantastic video, sambauers. I couldn’t have integrated bbPress and WP without it! Thanks a ton! I’m now running WordPress 2.7 and bbPress-1.0-alpha-6.

There are 2 specific things that got me past the “Forum could not be created” screen when I tried to install bbPress the first time:

As the post above explains, I added the following line to the .htaccess files for my WordPress and bbPress installations:

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

Thanks a bunch, chrishajer. It’s ALWAYS a .htaccess addition that makes my installation life easier – LOL.

Thank you asymmetrik. This helped me discover that my WP 2.7 installation didn’t actually have a NONCE_KEY in the wp_config.php file at all. So, I ran the security key generator and got it.

BTW, sambauers , I’m totally diggin’ on your blog’s design/layout: http://unlettered.org/
