Just made a small plugin for it.
You can download it on http://eris.nu/wordpress/bbpress.
Please note that only if the database of your blog is not the same as the forum you need the data about the database information. The prefix, url are always required.
Please try out for testing later on i will add some improvements so you can load directly data from the config of bbpress instead enter it in a form.
Later on I will add it to the WP plugin database.
Hi All,
I’m new to using BBpress (first post)
I have been reading up on the difference of simple and deep integration and have become a little confused over the subject.
I want to have a simple integration so that users logins will be sync’d between WP + bbpress possibly with a single login area via WP – trying to create a closed / private environment.
If you install bbpress in a sub folder of WordPress is this effectively deep integration?
And is it possible to create a sync’d log-in (ie if you log in/out of WP it also logs you in/out of BBpress) using simple integration
sorry if it sounds a stupid question but I just want to understand where best to have the bbpress install running from to prevent slow load times due to excessive overheads on the server.
Not fussed about themes as I can do all the css and design for these and make them look the same.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Theme looks nice and bold.
Will you release it for public? I would like to improve it and use it. Will save me a lot of time.

Nothing too fancy, just a customization of “Kakumei”. Check it out:

Uhm, not that I don’t understand you, but you do need to understand that we as developers need to eat too, so I don’t mind that extra’s on a cms/platform are only optional for developers.
And the greatest things in life just aren’t free.
That said, I do believe the bbPress WordPress plugin will get an easy intergration eventually.

i’ve been following the chat on the bbpress plugin thread and altough JJJ said somewhere that it will be possible it reallly doesnt seem (to me) that the plugin is going that way.
wordpress will use one theme and bbpress as a plugin will need its own theme.
@devs
dont read my comments as destructive but i feel as a user the need to voice my opinion, as a user i dont have the “god like” ability to master css/php or port my wordpress theme to a bbpress theme, its like you’re creating a forum plugin and making it difficult to use or integrate visually with wordpress…a forum plugin only for the “code masters”. try and go the simple:press or mingle forum way or have that possibility.

Hey what do you mean by the new bbpress won’t be “theme integration friendly”? I’m looking for a forum that will easily integrate with my wordpress site. I was going to hold out for this new bbpress plugin, but I’m curious to know what you’re talking about. Does that mean it’s going to be difficult to make the new bbpress theme match your existing theme’s look?

I’d say it would be unlikely on WordPress.org for quite some time, but I could be wrong.

I share many of your concerns. I too have stumbled onto the Mingle Forum plug-in.
I have it installed along with the Mingle plug-in. This turns a WordPress site into a BuddyPress-like site with an extremely short learning curve. I had both installed, tweaked on the code to remove a couple of links that I didn’t want, modified the CSS to make a near perfect style match to my theme, and understood how to configure administrate the forum in about 3 hours.
I am not a code monkey and cannot compare the pros and cons of how Mingle Forums stacks up against the bbPress plug-in or any other solutions. The security vulnerability has also been resoled to my satisfaction.
Before I implement a solution I am more concerned with its support and sustainability. Both plug-ins have have over 50,000 downloads and the Mingle Forum plug-in was last updated 20 days ago. I had one problem/question with the installation and it was answered by the plug-in’s author within hours. Within the last 5 days the Mingle Forum’s author has posted 5 videos instructional videos on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/user/cartpauj). All indications are that this project is alive and well.
I am going to go live with it this week and plan to use it until another plug-in solution, which is better, becomes available.

the vulnerabilities were on previos versions
Packages/Versions Affected: Confirmed on 1.0.24 and 1.0.26
the plugin is at version 1.0.28 see changelog here
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mingle-forum/changelog/
why did you give a link saying the vulnerabilities were fixed when you were implying the opposite?
01/07/2011 Plugin maintainer releases update that addresses these
vulnerabilities.
whoever uses older bbpress versions also have that problem

Well, I liked it as well, until I came across this notice today: “Multiple Vulnerabilities in Mingle Forum” – http://www.charleshooper.net/blog/multiple-vulnerabilities-in-mingle-forum-wordpress-plugin/
He posts his findings because the “Maintainer of plugin is unreachable”. Not sure if I still like this plugin so much.

I did similar work for our church website.
Wordpress theme is based on “P2” and BBpress is basic theme.
I did follow WP+BB integration; user.

Since I am not developer, it took lots of time to adjust css and theme files.
Any advice, welcome.

I like the look on the main page – list of topics organized. After click through topic with multi reply, thread can look messy.

I’ve been playing with this and it’s promising while we wait for bbpress plugin to mature
