Try uploading a file named fbtest.php with the following content in the folder where your WordPress resides.
<?php
/* You can delete this file safely.
It was just to check if its conflicting with other WP stuff - Ashfame */
require 'wp-load.php';
if ( function_exists('jfb_output_facebook_btn') )
{
jfb_output_facebook_btn();
jfb_output_facebook_init();
jfb_output_facebook_callback();
}
?>
This should bring up the FB button if everything is fine at WP side.
Maybe PHP is not added soon enough to actually be executed by the web server.
This is what happens in WordPress, I suppose the same is valid here.
Honestly, I really like idea give bbPress more functionality to core. Mainly unread post like phpBB has (All post mark as read and etc.) and more specific permission for some user rules and category. I dont know how many people wants this. We should vote, need polls,… but… Oh yes bbPress doesnt have any polls, we need plugin for this. Is there any plugin workign for my release? Damn…
Of course, for someone Its not important but forum without that its just guestbook with searchbar and topics. Really messy and pure.. Bleh!
Maybe the best solutions could be official bb-plugins supported by developers for every release (but its really hard task for developers). But eveneryone will be happy. Light-weight core and pack of plugins ready to go…
Everytime when i am downloading new plugin i prey: Will that plugin works with my new release? And what the next new release? Its terrible for every user. Sometimes i try fix some bugs but i am not php guru, and its real pain for me…
And for the people that love really light-weight solution. They can still use _ck_ 0.9 fork or another old realease of bbpress. Its up to them but official bbPress need to be pushed.
I love the way bbPress is made. I love functionality, simple look similiar to WordPress (i really love wordpress). But bbPress has so many holes at funcionality. Light weight forum like punBB? No… perhaps more sophisticated solutions with witdgets, gridtables, better sorting by speciphic parameters, quoting, better slug manipulation (like WP has), category manipulation, permissions and mainly integration with WP.
But everything should be fast as could be. Just look at MyBB. Or Perhpaps phpBB. Yaeh, its really fast… its just about optimizing. Why i dont switch to them back? They didnt have support for buddypress or wordpress… I mean native support – everything under one roof.
Conclusion…
bbPress should be disscussion board – right now i am really disapointed. So we can google for forums or helpdesks and find inspirations. If i am wrong, just kick me to my *** 
yes you already have deep integration.
now just in bbPress you can call the function of any WordPress plugin, in your case, the FB connect function.
WP – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-fb-autoconnect/
activate -> configure
in bbPress, edit the theme file where you want it by this ->
<?php
if ( function_exists('jfb_output_facebook_btn') )
{
jfb_output_facebook_btn();
jfb_output_facebook_init();
jfb_output_facebook_callback();
}
?>
This should work
okay great, thanks man.
So, I added this code to the bb-config.php file from your page here:
Deep integration of bbPress with WordPress
I did, however, already have the following added:
require_once('/MYPATH/wp-blog-header.php');
does the latter mean I was already in “deep integration” ?
Either way, I don’t see any differences at all now as opposed to before. What does it mean to “integrate a FB button” … is there some code lying around that I can just stick into the templates?
thanks
1. The warnings are from using PHP 5.3 on Windows (normally.) If you can use PHP 5.2 that would be better. If not, you can download the latest trunk version instead of 1.0.2 as the warnings will not occur with that version.
2. If bb_ tables are present in the database you are using when you go to reinstall, the installer will complain that bbPress is already installed. So, drop the bb_ tables or use a different database.
3. Where is your forum actually installed?
http://www.happybod.com/happybod_web/forum/
or
http://www.happybod.com/forum/
I am guessing it’s the 2nd location since the first looks like it contains the file system path from your host. Your WordPress files are probably installed in the happybod_web folder and accessible at http://www.happybod.com/ (right?) If so, and you placed a “forum” directory inside happybod_web, at the same level as wp-config.php, then your forum will be located at http://www.happybod.com/forum/
Please switch the search over. We mentioned that here soon after WordPress switched.

Matt, we’re at cross purposes. Your previous definition of “core plugin” aside, I still don’t quite understand why it wouldn’t be useful to have a place in the taxonomy for something that…
1. is a plugin
2. is released with core (same release criteria etc.)
Like akismet today. I think there are a ton of advantages, but I’ve mentioned them above and I won’t belabor them. I didn’t suggest that it was necessarily 80% functionality, so maybe it does fit your definition of core plugin to some extent.
I guess “bloat” is a bit pejorative and wasn’t my intention to poke at WordPress. But any large piece of software needs to have a strategy to deal with the inevitable growth of the code base as it evolves.
Milan, BBXF is a nice idea but, like BackPress, it’s a bit of a boil-the-ocean approach. From our point of view rather than getting every system in the world to adopt this new format, it’s better to just target importers for specific platforms as the market demands it, which has worked well on the WP side.
Every system in the world doesn’t have to adopt BBXF. Since importers will already exist, why not make importers which will create BBXF if we already have some code and “standard”?
ashfame, I wouldn’t recommend downgrading to 0.9, it has not had updates or even a security review in a long time. If someone wants to fork it and start updating it that’s one thing, but as it stands using 0.9 is inadvisable.
_KB_, absolutely with regards to importers for other systems. We’ve held off on any importers so far because I really didn’t feel like bbPress was ready for switchers, there was so much fundamentally broken about its experience.

I think Dailytalker was using deep integration, which loads the whole of WordPress on bbPress page loads so that you can call functions on the WordPress side from bbPress itself. Thus making virtually every WP plugin to work inside bbPress
While it’s great that Matt is overseeing the complete reqrite of this project into something that requires WordPress to run, I think we should be just a tad guarded against getting euphoric about 1 line in 1 interview.
First off, the interview took places months before it’s published date, and lets remember that on 1st May (only 2 months ago) Matt’s opinion was this:
http://bbshowcase.org/audio/Matt-on-bbPress-2010-May-1.mp3
bbPress and WordPress use gravatar which is the same service.
Does this work good, or should I keep looking for a better solution? I want avatars to match on WordPress and BBpress integrated site.
Some days old post but really optimistic for bbPress.
I don’t need to personally write code much these days because we have so many talented folks involved but I am jumping back in on bbPress and will be hacking around in there.
@gordonsa thanks dear,
I definitely know that the easiest way to protect with .htacess. but again
I don’t want to use .htacess method, I want to use php
Because sometime some scripts works with open directories. If I protect a directory via .htacess then this script or plugin will not work with this…
e.g. This wordpress plugin
User-Name-less systems like facebook need to be designed from scratch like that. The WordPress/bbPress system unfortunately is user_login/user_id based.
You could force user_id for the profile stub if that makes you like it better, bbPress will accept either.
BTW in a forum based system, how would you deal with two dozen users that insisted on using “Greg” as their display name and similar avatars?
By the way, I don’t think I released it yet but should by the end of the month, just have to write a “readme.txt” – I have a “rename user” plugin for bbPress to change user_login across the system.
It even supports multiple bbpress and wordpress systems attached to the same user db table and will fix all topics and wp comments.
So, not meant for constant username changes, but good for occasional fixes. Also detects existing username collisions.
Non-plugin bbPress development is going to continue until we have a perfect importer so people will be able to bring their content out of the legacy codebase.
So, will BBXF finally have some use?
I’ve tried another integration with no “www”, it works 50%.
Now I just can’t access my bb-admin and not able to logout from wp admin 
,
I’ve installed _ck_ plugin fixed admin access, but its not working in this situation. I’ve find other ways from bbPress Search but still not solved. any idea?

Simply I love this statement!!
@ Matt Mullenweg, with this perfect importer, will we able to switch from other channels like vBulletin, phpbb, ip board? did you ever think about it? Any Plan?
