What does the error log on step 3 say?
Have you tried installing a fresh copy to a totally different directory and using a different database (i.e., doing it without trying to integrate with WordPress)?

I would suggest that you hire a developer because that script is currently meant to be only run by a person who at least knows the basics of coding, bbPress/WordPress etc.

I sort of feel like I’m listening in on a private conversation when I ‘skim’ that thread. (I couldn’t read it because it’d take me 2 hours and I still wouldn’t understand it).
In resumé, does it mean that bbPress is going to become a plugin for WordPress?
If so : I don’t use WordPress (don’t have a blog), what will this mean for a current bbPress installation?

Hi everyone. Im new to the forums here but thought I would show off my most recent use of WP + BBP.
The site is a World of Warcraft guild website and was originaly powered by IPB however as traffic and rankings started to increase I thought it required a lick of paint and a general update. The site has been manualy converted from IPB 2.2 (if i remember correctly) and still has some bugs which I am intending to iron out this week. Take a look below and let me know what you think, any suggestions also welcome
http://www.judgementguild.net – WordPress front end
http://www.judgementguild.net/forums – BBPress forum
I am also planning to make the forum display a little bolder but have not decided exactly what to do yet, im sure il update here if any changes are made as and when.
Ripoko~
merci

WordPress loader file (wp-load.php) doesn’t exist in the path specified!
what’s the problem ?

I imagine it should, yes. Did you use the same database info as your WordPress install, as I explained in Step 1?
At which point during the install are you getting an error?

If you’re getting a message that says bbPress is already installed, make sure you’ve done the following:
- Deleted all bbPress files on your site
- Deleted the bbPress database or related tables (likely prefixed with
bb_)
Now, you can install a fresh copy of bbPress and run the installation process by visiting the bbpress directory.
Step 1: Use the same database information as you did for your WordPress install (if you’re not sure what you used, check the wp-config.php file).
Step 2: Check all three boxes and fill in the necessary details:
- Add integration settings
(no options)
- Add cookie integration settings
Fill in all of the boxes. You can get the keys and salts from your WordPress wp-config.php and the rest of the settings from the General Settings section in WordPress Admin.
- Add user database integration settings
If you used the default table prefix (wp_) when you installed WordPress, you don’t need to change any of these options.
- Show advanced database settings
(Leave unchecked) If you used your WordPress database information in Step 1 as I explained, you don’t need to check this box.
Step 3: If you did everything correctly, you should get a drop-down box that lets you select the WordPress user that should become the bbPress admin. If you get boxes to create a bbPress admin, you did something wrong in Step 1 or Step 2.
Configuring WordPress
To ensure that logging into WordPress sets all the necessary cookies for using bbPress, you should install the bbPress Integration Plugin and then set the “bbPress URL” option to match the URL to your bbPress forum (Settings -> bbPress Integration).
Also, make sure you add this line to the top of your wp-config.php file, just below <?php:
define( 'COOKIEPATH', '/' );
If you’ve done everything I explained here, single-login should work as expected.

If you have your blog in a directory, and the forums in a sub-directory called forum, then you need to put this script in the WordPress blog directory, where you would find your wp-config.php file. Otherwise you would need to edit the defines on lines 37 and 38:
define( 'W2BC_WP_PATH', '' ); /** With Trailing Slash, if required */
define( 'W2BC_BB_PATH', 'forum/' ); /** With Trailing Slash, if required */

There are no downloads, but here is the script – http://wordpress-to-bbpress-converter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/w2bc.php
It currently doesn’t support user migration, but that should be easy (and should be done before running the script). I think it’d be basically renaming the tables, though I’m not sure.
Also, *PLEASE* make a backup of your WordPress blog and follow the instructions carefully.
