What you’re trying to do should be done in bbPress’ config.php file, but you’re really close

Put your index.php back the way it was. In bbPress’ config.php file, put the following two lines right after the <?php line.

require_once('/path/to/wp-blog-header.php');

define('WP_BB', true);

It seems you’ve found the correct path to use in you system: /home/myusername/public_html/blog/wp-blog-header.php

So it should now look like:

<?php

require_once('/home/myusername/public_html/blog/wp-blog-header.php');

define('WP_BB', true);

Then, copy your bb-templates/ directory to my-templates/ this is so you can modify the template files without editing the original ones; bbPress will use the files in that directory automatically instead of the original ones.

In my-templates/front-page.php (and any of your other template iles), you can now call any WordPress template function, even get_header().
