I mean calling the wordpress functions and using the wordpress header (and possibly footer).
Thanks.
When you say deep integration, do you mean you’d like to be able to call WordPress functions from inside of bbPress?
Or do you mean that you’d like the themes to be very similar…
Hi John:
Great question. I have not WRITTEN anything in WordPress, but WordPress is one of the “canned options” for this website hosting platform (godaddy.com linux).
I will be pleased to give you the login and pw to admin the site if that would help, you could look at the files, etc. The only thing that I’ve actually uploaded to it is the set of uncompressed bbpress files.
Please advise. THanks alot

WordPress info:
I have wordpress Version 2.8.4 set up following these directions:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory
…so the wordpress folder is located here: http://www.example.com/cms/
…but the world sees the blog here: http://www.example.com/
I have permalinks set up with Day and name (a.k.a.: /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/)
bbPress info:
I installed bbPress 1.0.2 here: http://www.example.com/forums/
The problem:
I’m having some problems with this setup which I think are being caused by mod_rewrite.
I try to login at https://www.example.com/forums/ (using the login and password emailed to me after installation) and it seems to accept my login, but then tries to take me to this url: https://www.example.com/forums/forums/ and then shows a wordpress 404 not found page.
Any ideas?
Thanks very much in advance for any help!
Hi,
I want to attempt a deep integration with my wordpress theme and I’m just wondering if there is a definitive set of instructions or thread on here that goes over what to do. I’ve seen a few, but they were started over 2 years ago.
Are those still the best/most relevant?
Thanks for your time. I know some people here have been on this journey with bbpress for the 2 years so they would know the answer to this question the best.

I installed bbpress 1.02 on a shared database with wordpress everything is ok except the plugins page that shows blank, What can i do to solve it. Thank you.
Regards, Sadnem.
I put in something for the Secret Key but it says “Error! Not equal secret keys in WordPress and bbPress”.
Why and how do I fix this? I am on the WordPress side doing bbPress syncronization. Do I need to go to
the bbPress side and put the same Secret Key somewhere?
I worked with wordpress for a while, but I’m really new to BBpress. I can’t find detail documents for BBpress like wordpress does.
If I want to use different templates for different categories in wordpress, I can use the following script.
<?php
$post = $wp_query->post;
if ( in_category(‘1) ) {
include(TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/single-1.php’);
}
elseif ( in_category(‘2’) ) {
include(TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/single-2.php’);
}
else {
include(TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/single-3.php’);
}
?>
But I don’t know how to make it in BBpress, could anyone help me out? Thanks a lot!
I am bumping this since I still have no clue what is wrong and the related threads in the forum have no Answers for me …
is it because one cookie starts with:
wp wordpress
and another time the same cookie starts with
wordpress
only
???
if so, where can I change this?
Please help!
Any solution? I have the same question!
Got it, I was looking in my BBpress themes folder instead of wordpress themes folder. Thanks!
Ah Ha!!
I just got the bbPress url working!! (happy emoticon here) It is good to see it say
bbPress url Everything is ok!
It is a little tricky. The trick is that the plugin php for bbpress and for wordpress have different file names and you do NOT use the exact same zip file for both plug ins.
Now I just need to know what the secret key in wordpress and bbpress is and where to find it. This is the new error.
Hopefully the plugin developer can help you… his contact information is here:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/wordpress-bbpress-syncronization/
Does the plug in work?
My problem is that after “URL is incorrect or connection error, please verify it (full variant): ” it has a url address to a file that is mixed up. How do I clear it out? And no matter what I put in the field for the the bbPress url, it does not change it.
What is installed on your server… only bbPress? Or do you also have a WordPress install somewhere on there…
Try deleting that require_once line… what that does is enable “deep integration”, so that you can call WordPress functions from inside of bbPress.
Most people don’t need that sort of deep integration – I don’t use it myself. I just use user/cookie integration, so that users only have to sign in once to either my WordPress or my bbPress and they’re all set.
Here’s a list of bbPress professionals, although I don’t know how many of them have done development:
http://bbshowcase.org/forums/topic/bbpress-professionals-advertise-in-this-topic
The most prolific developers are _ck_ and Nightgunner5.
Nightgunner5 has written 9 plugins that I’m aware of (I use two of them, and they are excellent):
https://bbpress.org/plugins/profile/nightgunner5
_ck_ is by far the most prolific developer, with 60 plugins:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/profile/_ck_
But according to that link above on bbshowcase (her site), she’s not available right now. If you have a larger budget though, it might be worth dropping her a line and seeing if she’s open to it.
You might also try Ivan here:

If there are active plugin developers that I’ve missed, please let cupra know in the comments!
Good luck! And if you’re open to contributing any custom plugins to the plugin section when you’re done, that’d be great! I’d be glad to help test the plugin…
I don’t know, I’m not that familiar with that particular plugin… sorry!
You may want to try emailing the plugin author? He mentioned in the comments a few times that he’d provide custom programming or support in exchange for a donation, so you may want to offer that?
Let us know how it turns out!
Is this thing, this setting or server feature, called “php-curl “?
This is also called “PHP Client URL Library” and my web site hosting provider says they support this and it is ready to use on my website.
There’s no future posting in bbPress that I’m aware of… although version 1.0 supports a posting API, which might make that easier to pull it off.
The syncing approach could work as well – I don’t have much experience with those plugins, but here’s the link to the plugin:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/wordpress-bbpress-syncronization/
My guess is that your best bet would be to hire a developer to make a custom plugin for ya…
bbPress isn’t a WordPress plugin… it’s an entirely separate program.
Follow the instructions here to install it:
https://bbpress.org/documentation/installation/
Good luck!
Hi. I’ve searched Google and here with no luck, possibly because I’m not using the best keywords.
In WordPress, you can schedule posts to publish at a future date.
I would like to be able to publish a new topic at a future date, rather than immediately.
The reason is that we publish a new article each week. First, it gets posted on the private forum of a membership site. A few days later it gets published on our WordPress blog for the general public.
The WordPress post is always put in early and scheduled to be published on the next Wednesday.
Is a ‘schedule topic’ function available in bbPress or via a plugin?
Or is there another way to do it that I haven’t thought of? I’ve heard that at least at one stage it was possible to sync WordPress posts and forum topics, but I don’t know much about that.
While installing Plugin ….its showing This msg ”The plugin does not have a valid header”.
Please help any body to resolve my problem….
