The easiest way to do this is by getting this plugin for (bbPress) or better said WordPress.
Make sure you read the HOW TO INSTALL
It’s not that hard to pull off but i like it very much.
You will just get a Widget that you can add to a side-bar or footer-bar lots of option.
One small glitch,
It doesn’t support the nicer-permalinks plugin for bbPress but the links will support the right pages.

Hopefully this is the easiest question ever asked. I have a WordPress site with BBP installed. I want to be able to pull the latest BBP posts in a php query I can use throughout the site. What is easiest way of doing this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
bbPress has been a stand alone forum, albeit based on some core WordPress components. But is not a plugin for WordPress.
bbPress as a plugin is currently being developed.

This is not beautiful but it works..
and with a little bit of tuning (later) i think i can make it look much better.
Also something cool.
If you register with a Gravatar (wordpress) image placed on the gravatar site if will autom. pick that image as basic image.
And if you would like to add some other image on your profile you can simple upload you’re own image and it will overwrite the basic one.
And if you push “delete” it will autom. go back to the gravatar basic image.
Very cool.
No problems for me till now with this plugin.
I also tried the Avatar upload plugin but that one is broken like …
(don’t even try to install Avatar upload plugin – pick the Bavatars one)

Using bbPress-WordPress syncronization plugin and was able to connect to the bbpress part on wordpress dashboard, but not the other way around.
bbPress url: http://example.com/forums/ Everything is ok!
WordPress url: http://example.com/ URL is incorrect or connection error, please verify it (full variant): http://example.com?wpbb-listener
Link above leads to: “If you see that, plugin must connect well. bbPress test response (must be a:1:{s:4:”test”;i:1;}): a:1:{s:4:”test”;i:1;}”
Enable plugin (on both wp & bb) Not allowed: [bbPress part] Cannot establish connection to WordPress part
-made fsockopen, etc. changes
-my-plugins folder, etc. permissions=755
Sincere appreciation for anyone that can offer assistance/ideas 
Thanks zaerl..
I will delete the login-/register menu off WordPress and try to redirect the login-/register off WordPress to the bbPress site.

bbPress isn’t a WordPress plugin. It’s a standalone software.

Hmmm i had the same error when i tried to change from basic to prettylinks.
First i got an error when i tried to change the WordPress install to permalinks (friendly links)
And it told me to copy and past this code to my .htaccess file.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
When i did that and chmod the file to 666 by Transmit (file upload client) everything worked fine..
But when i tried to change bbPress from basic to pretty permalinks i got also the same error the TS had.
But adding this code (line) below the code above i have no trouble anymore..
Options +MultiViews
* So i don’t know what i’m doing but i think it’s okay because it works.
Thanks..
John,
Your assessment sounds spot on. There is no bbPress.php file in that Stand-alone version I downloaded off the main page.
What is the link to the forum plugin that may be used for WordPress? Is there one available?
Thanks much,
Josh

Sounds to me like you both downloaded the stand-alone version of bbPress and put it in your plugins directory.
bbPress currently is not a plugin, bit there is a version in development that is. The version of bbPress that you get by clicking “Download” in the upper right hand corner of this site is not a plugin for WordPress.

Hello,
I have deep integrate a forum before but i want to make sure i don’t do anything stupid.
So a while ago Kevin from this forum
http://kevinjohngallagher.com/
pointed to this site-/tutorial about who to integrate..
http://wpbbpthemes.org/integration/
I think it’s a nice and helpful site, i only have some basic questions before i do something stupid.
At this moment i have a clean installed WordPress site good to go.
Just clean installed and nothing changed in the settings or plugin’s loaded. (fresh and clean)
First question:
Known Issues on why this tutorial doesn’t work:
* “If you have changed your database prefix”
This is a tricky one, i always change the database prefix before installing from wp_ to something unique because people say it’s much better to have a unique prefix against hacking your site.
Will this turn into some drama or do i need to stay focus so i put the same prefix’s at both files?
I think the basic prefix for bbPress is bb_ should i change that to my unique prefix i used in my wp-config.php file?
And second question:
Do i need to make-/add a brand new (clean) database for the bbPress install or can i add the same database information in the bb-config.php file same as i have done in the wp-config.php file?
I was searching in the plugin list isn’t there a plugin that will place a Maintenance screen on your forum when you are working on it.. ?
I see WordPress have a few plugin’s for this but bbPress hasn’t.
bbPress isn’t more or less SEO friendly than any other forum software. Considering it uses almost the exact same permalink rewriting code as WordPress. The bbPress plugin for WordPress will offer custom permalink options and I’ll look into allowing for this.
