Well, aren’t I an idiot. bbpress is not a real plugin to WordPress! I saw that someone had used bbpress on their WordPress site and jumped right on it. I guess I will go back to the ever so slow VastHTML forum plugin.
THIS!
Can anyone make that WP plugin a BBP plugin?

I’ll give you a cookie 
jcrens8392, if you would like this included in future versions, please open a ticket at trac: http://trac.bbpress.org – you can log in there with a wordpress.org username and password.
I just tried including wp-load.php from another WordPress site on the same server, like this, and it worked just fine:
require_once('../../dev/wp-load.php');
Maybe our PHP or server configurations are different. But this worked fine and did not error out. I also tried just including a test.php file that I created in the same directory (the file is empty) and that works fine too. PHP doesn’t care what’s in that file (or if there is even anything in there at all), so long as there is no syntax error.
Sorry everybody for my late response.
Thanks for all the positive replays, I am very happy but I would like to hear some critique or input on how to improve the website.
To Michael R: I hope so too because I like bbPress a lot and I will use it for my future projects.
To: Sander B: Thanks. Or in Dutch : Bedankt!
To: Jim R: This is not an example of bbPress as plugin but it is just WordPress / bbPress integration without “deep integration”.
I know this post is rather old, but none of the above suggestions worked. The problem with using the post_author_link or even get_user_link filters is that those only filter the “href” attribute, not the entire “a” tag. That means you can’t add rel=”nofollow” using those filters.
I wasn’t able to figure out a way to get it done without editing the core. I suggest the post_author_link() function around line 1747 of bb-includes/functions.bb-template.php be edited to allow the option of only returning the link rather than echoing it. That way, you can output the author links in your template (post.php) using something like this:
<?php bb_rel_nofollow(post_author_link(false)); ?>
With the “false” parameter telling WordPress to return the link rather than echo it. I believe that would work for future releases.
As for now, I believe you’ll have to open bb-includes/function.bb-template.php and edit the post_author_link and post_author_avatar_link functions to add rel=”nofollow” to the “a” tags. Those functions begin around line 1747 of bb-includes/function.bb-template.php.
Hope that helps.
“bbPress and WordPress are not cross aware of role changes.”
So what is the point of WP/bbPress Integration plugin, in which you cross assign roles?
I am trying to integration my WordPress site (the most current version of WP) with a bbPress but I can’t, for the life of me, get it to work. I can get it to share the user tables and user data but I can’t make it so if you login to the WP, then you are logged in automatically into the bbPress or vise versa.
The WP is on a domain and the bbPress is a subdomain:
-site.com (WP)
-community.site.com (bbPress)
^is how it is setup.
Would anyone be willing to help me setup these two up to work right? My lack of cookie knowledge is turning this into a huge headache! haha

My wordpress installation is in the top folder and then the forum installation is in a sub-directory (forum).
So wordpress is at http://www.unitedrant.co.uk and the forum is at http://www.unitedrant.co.uk/forum
Should the path be?
require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . ‘../wp-load.php’); – says no exists
or
require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/../wp-load.php’); – get a blank screen
I FOUND THE PROBLEM!! YAAAAAAAY!!!
I had to go into my mysql database and had to delete the last change in my bb_meta which was a change with sth. like wp_ prefix.
I’m so happy now.

Hey all there,
I tried to integrate wordpress with my bbpress installation but it failed..
I edited a setting in the menue, I forgot which..
I typed “wp_” in a box where it needed to be, that’s what I understood after reading the description below the box.
Now the forum has no users! My users.php file looks like after the first installation..
I can’t login into the forum and so I can’t change it back to default..
Please help me.
{ The searchbar didn’t }
Zatoozy.

This will help playing with bbPress – http://blog.ashfame.com/bbpress/
By the way, you can just drop the bbPress files in a folder and install it like WordPress. Ditto method.
And if you want to integrate it as well, then you can find the link to tutorial on the resource page.
It’s my understanding that the next release (1.1?) will be a standalone version of bbPress with bug fixes and a few feature additions added (email notifications and anonymous posting).
In the longer term, I believe that bbPress will become solely a WordPress plugin just like BuddyPress. If that’s true, then the only standalone version of bbPress will be the earlier versions, which of course are GPL and anyone is free to download and/or fork!
I’m not an authority figure, but I can tell you that bbPress is turning into a WP plugin.
So bbPress does have a future; steps have been made to do this. Release date is uncertain though.
Not sure what is going to happen when bbPress turns into a WP plugin in BuddyPress.
I think BP will adapt to fit this new incarnation of bbPress when it comes out.
What is uncertain is the people who use bbPress w/o WordPress. Is there going to be a standalone version of bbPress in the future? That’s the question.
I’ve built a website using wordpress and want to add a discussion forum. Looks like bbpress will do it, but I’m new to building websites and could use any help I could get. Are there spelled out instructions anywhere??
Here is my bbPress resource page 
http://blog.ashfame.com/bbpress
does the admin link show up when you login?
if no, try this http://blog.ashfame.com/2009/09/fix-lost-admin-access-bbpress/
and if yes, then try loggin in from bbPress and not from WordPress
I crated a mobile plugin for BBPress but have not had the time to release it as a standalone plugin. You can see it at:
http://www.berryreview.com/forums/index.php?ak_action=accept_mobile
It is totally based on Alex Kings Mobile Plugin for WordPress so I am not sure if I am allowed to release it. Let me check.
When I do have a chance to release it you will have to edit the theme to fit your site. Let me know if there is any interest.
I dont know why, but I’m not able to access the Admin panel. My bbpress is integrated with wordpress and it worked after installation. I haven’t modified the bb-config file either. Yesterday, I was able to get to the admin panel by clicking on the IP address in a post. Now that doesn’t even work. What do I do?
That’s cool, Gerikg, thanks for contributing.. I personally did not need to change any of the bb_auth_key etc, just copied the settings from wp-config.php to bb-config.php (forget about trying to input them in the bbpress install, it’s hopeless), plus the bbpress integration plugin for wordpress, and it worked right away…
It’s hard to tell with your path removed there, but assuming bbPress was installed properly (it’s not a plugin for WordPress) it seems to me that something was not uploaded completely. This is the first time I’ve heard about this problem.
Presumably if I changed (or removed) the spelling of the codes in the names (not that I will), it would break and any info people had put in previously would be lost.
Only if you changed the name of the value. i.e.
'first_name' => array(0, __('What do they call you?')),
should be fine, as long as the first_name stays intact.
And I’ve increased the number parameter at the end of your add_action(‘extra_profile_info’, ‘add_descriptions’,15); – even I could work out that was important.
That number is the priority that the function should get in relation to everything else that’s loading on the page. Read about that here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_action
My code, btw, was at point got from this forum somewhere, so I can’t take credit for it. But it shows that anything in the functions.bb-pluggable.php file is easily replaced or manipulated.
We’ve got Super Search (http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/super-search/) running on our forums, and it locks up the database when a few people are using it, and particularly if they’re doing an “all time” search.
On the http://bbpress.org/blog/2009/04/talkpress-and-bbpress/ page it states “The architecture behind WordPress.com demanded that we make bbPress play nice with the HyperDB extension for WordPress. This neat database load-balancing and redundancy tool is now fully compatible with bbPress. So if you want to run your bbPress site with redundant MySQL databases in multiple datacenters then that’s possible now too. bbPress now has a pretty enviable set of advanced options for MySQL connectivity.”
So we’re looking at running HyperDB to offload the search to another database. And I presume future version of BBp will support hyperdb. Has anyone got this up and running, was it easy to set up? Were there any problems I should know about?
It was in the Step 2 while I’m installing bbpress
Fatal error: Class ‘WP_Auth’ not found in /home/’my-path’/bb-settings.php on line 970
FYI. it’s in a sub directory of wordpress2.8.4
How could it happened?
