If you have integrated bbPress with WordPress (same user database) you cannot choose a login name that already exists in WordPress.
I’ve installed bbPress 1.02 with WordPress 2.9.2 and the WordPress user account integration is working. I can login into bbPress with a WordPress account. I’m having a problem with role mapping though. I’ve mapped the WordPress Administrator role to the bbPress Key Master role but when I log into an Administrator account I only see the first set of admin links (Forums, Topics, Posts) and not the second (Appearance, Plugins, Users, Tools, Settings). This makes it kind of hard to administer bbPress. Any ideas? Thanks.

I read your article, and I sure that I done all this step (instead setup of new wordpress, I use my blog that already existed ), but cookie integration with 64 chars keys still not work.
@jakshi
I have always done all my integrations with the keys generated from the link gerikg shared.
You can take a look at my tutorial – http://blog.ashfame.com/2009/07/integrate-bbpress-10-with-wordpress-28/
and you will only need secure_auth_salt key when you are using https protocol
Did you setup user role map in bbPress under WordPress integration settings? http://wpwebhost.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/userrolemap.png
This issue has been reported before with deep integrated sites. Every page of the forum will return a 404, I believe, but depending on the browser, you sometimes see the content instead of the errors. Here are the headers returned from your forum:

I also think a simple solution was to include wp-load.php instead of wp-blog-header.php. Which one are you including now?
What version of WordPress are you using?
What version of bbPress are you using?
Did you upgrade from an older version of WP?
Did you upgrade from an older version of BBP?
Which steps or tutorial did you take?
Do you use shared hosting service?
Does your server use php5 and is it active?
Are you using BuddyPress?
Hi,
I’ve gone through the process twice now and each time I create an account in WordPress it doesn’t log me into the forum automatically or create a user in the forums user table in MySQL.
Can anyone help me here?
I’m not sure this is the right forum but whatever I installed bbpress and everything went fine until the last part Key Username I put my wordpress username and it gave me an error but it didn’t go back. So i just went to my site url now i get this:
Oh dear!
bbPress is already installed.
Perhaps you meant to run the upgrade script instead?
when i just go to the main url part of the site, any help would be apreciated
Thanks
> – can bbpress be inserted into my wordpress page? (i think i read it cannot but still can’t believe it)
Not really. You would need to create a theme for bbPress that looks like your WordPress theme.
I really am starting to think i might have done a mistake with going for BBpress…
questions I have about the whole thing:
– appart from using the same DB for user (wordpress+bbpress) is there a good reason for using BBpress?
(it seems very limited, i keep getting errors form the official site(usually not a good sign))
– can bbpress be inserted into my wordpress page? (i think i read it cannot but still can’t believe it)
(I would like to have that very limited forum(bbpress) inside my wordpress otherwise i’ll go with a full on phpbb, if it’s the same thing??!!)
Hi,
i just installed my new bbpress forum with wordpress 2.9.2 integration which works fine… now i see how to add topics which is nice, but just can’t find anything about adding “forum main theme”
I am not talking about “design theme” (which by the way you guys gotta change that it’s ridiculous to call forums by “forum main theme” very confusing and almost impossible to find anything that is not related to the actual “design theme”)
anywho, how do i add new forums “main theme” to my forum??
it workkkkkk!!
the problema was wordpress 3.0! with wp 2.9 is all ok!
Thx Chris for linking to te previous topic!
Kevin,
I just want to mention that my wordpress site is currently using custom permalinks, without any problems.
Here the bbpress who couldn’t use them, i want to understand for example if i’m not on Apache server so that means my wordpress site wouldn’t use the custom permalinks (right) ?!
@gerikg
wp-blog-header.php loads wp-load.php & template-loader.php
I think if we are not going to use WordPress themes in bbPress then we can use wp-load.php but I think wp-blog-header.php won’t hurt.
Your link looks interesting, I will have to see.
nothing…always blank page…uff….i find also this line
require_once( dirname( dirname( __FILE__ ) ) . ‘../wp-blog-header.php’ );
define(‘WP_BB’, true);
but nothing…blank page…grrr

I tried and When I inserted this keys (from https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt) in my config files, cookie integration don’t work.
Also I checked with salt (from https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt) and my old 32 chars keys – and integration still didn’t work.
When I had returned short solt keys values (32 chars length) and my short 32 chars keys then cookie integration began to work.
Also I have noticed that in the http://jakshi.org.ua/wp-admin/options.php lack of secure_auth_salt keys, all other salt keys exist.
jakshi, just for argument sake can you try eight keys instead? https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt
Concerning to my issue – I am using php 5.2.13 (I know this exactly, because I’m self hosting my blog on worpdress 
)
I’ll try to remove ?> in the end of the wp-config.php.
May be it’s significant for cookie inegration.
@ashfame, I emailed you. Yes I have all the WP files sent to me.
I get hosting from 1and1. For me to use php5 I have to put a line “AddType x-mapp-php5 .php” into the htaccess file when I don’t have that line I get a 500 error. On top of that WP one click update or install doesn’t work. I don’t know how to prove it to you.
