Since I am the only one that will be posting on wordpress I decided not to use integration, i am using wordpress 2.6.2 with the alpha downloaded yesterday. If I do not use the require once in the config to use wordpress functions in my header, sidebar, footer, it works just fine.
What version of bbPress are you using, and are you integrated with WordPress?
Follow the instructions in the last section of this page:
https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/#func
You want access to the WordPress functions get_footer() and get_header() so you need to include WordPress in your bbPress.
There is a problem with cookie sharing mainly in that WordPress fails to (because it doesn’t know it has to) set a cookie required for access to the bbPress admin area.
But wordpress seems to set a cookie that both bbpress and wordpress recognize (other than not being able to log out via bbpress), and bbpress sets a cookie that only bbpress recogizes. Does bbpress delete/overwrite the wordpress cookie, thus causing wordpress to be logged out after logging in with bbpress?

I’m pretty sure that the only way to fix this is with a plugin for WordPress. I’ll have to work one up. When I do I’ll post it to the WordPress plugin repository and announce it on the forum here.
I would like to implement my current header.php from wordpress at http://www.mypricesavings.com and footer.php as well to my forums http://www.mypricesavings.com/forums however I am not sure, I would also like to keep the current styling of the stuff sandwiched in between the header and footer that is currently there, im ignorant to this stuff however, I am good at following babysteps that are step by step if anyone has way to do this and keep the styling of the two merged to one
Same here for the logout issue…
Well, at least I’m not alone in this issue.
I haven’t made a version of the theme available anywhere yet. I modified the Kakumei theme just for this site. Maybe when BBPress 1.0 comes out I will make a neutral version of the theme for everyone. I could do the same for the WordPress theme as well.
Same issue here. Btw, is this theme of yours available anywhere?
Hello, I have a little issue with logging in between wordpress and bbpress at my website http://www.ridelegend.com/ & http://www.ridelegend.com/community/
1. When I log in at BBpress it logs me out of WordPress. I can access the BBpress admin page.
2. When I log in at WordPress it logs me in at both WordPress and BBpress, but I cannot log out at BBpress. I can access both the bbpress and WordPress admin panels fine though, and logging out at WordPress works.
I have no plugins active other than akismet. My custom theme is based on the alpha 1 theme, but I modified to match the alpha 2 theme via the list of changes in the tracker. Is this just a glitch with alpha 2 or is there something I can do?
Thank you! 
Hi.
I recently installed bbPress on my WordPress site here at http://agitainment.com/ics/forum/.
I’ve built a theme based on 1col_fixed 1.1 (I believe it’s kakumei with most of the CSS stripped out). In any case, when I go to my forums I can see my Gravatars and default avatars in kakumei, but when I switch on my theme they disappear.
Is there a php file I’m missing or a block of code somewhere I need to copy over from the kakumei theme to get these to work? If so, where should I put the code?
Thanks!
WordPress 2.6.2 + bbPress 1.0 Alpha 2. I have done the cookies config, auth_salt, logged_in_salt, etc.
When I log in WordPress, I am also log-in in bbPress, but cannot open bbpress’ control panel, and also cannot log out in bbPress; When I log in bbPress, it seems normal, I can open bbPress’ CP, but not log-in in WordPress.Only when I log out WordPress, I can also log out bbPress.
How to resolve?

If you mean basic user database and cookie sharing then yes (and it should have worked in 1.0-alpha-1 as well). If you mean loading WordPress inside bbPress, then no – that is still partially broken.
@beernews
I hope not, although it’s getting closer, it’s not production ready yet.
Did you put the additional authorization keys and such that are in 1.0’s config into your wp-config? As far as I can tell, that stuff is new and is the only change I’ve noticed.
I just recently installed and integrated WP 2.5 w/ a fresh install of bbPress 0.9.0.2. I followed the directions here, http://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/ except bbPress isn’t picking up the WP cookie and vice versa. You can see by going to my site and registering:

and the forum is here:

Can anyone assist? Thanks!
I have been ruuuning wordpress 2.6.2 and just installed bbpress 1.0 aplha 2 in about 10 minutes and it seems to work OK.
Yes it does – I installed aplha 2 in about 10 minutes and the login works. I need to test the registration but I’m sure that this will be OK.
You add all your wordpress settings when you install alpha 2 (it’s all form based).
Yes.
I tried upgrading to Alpha 2 and that didn’t fix the issue. I also made sure that the new secret keys and other login items in the bbpress config are set — and tried pasting them into wp-config.php, too. None of this seemed to address the problem.
Does the wordpress integration work with the latest version of wordpress now?
Does this happen when you log out of bbPress then login to WordPress?
I upgraded to bbpress 1.0 over the weekend and it seems to have broken logins for my main wordpress site. I can log into bbpress fine, but if I go to /wp-admin/ and try to log in there, I just get booted back to the login screen over and over. I’ve had the integrated user database setup for some time now and have never had a problem. Any idea what might be causing this?
No, I’m calling certain elements used in the WordPress header in the bbPress header too like the header.jpg and some Java for the menu. Only the things that are needed for a coherent design as is.
Heh, you know I had started to comment about the xmlrpc stuff but checked myself. Personally I’ll be using the delete option. Those hackers tend to find the bugs far faster than we do and the #1 security vulnerability on WordPress for years was the xmlrpc.php
Still, it will be interesting to see how people use it in the real world as it’s a powerful feature. I believe bbPress can now claim it’s the first forum to have such functionality.
Just in time for bbPress’s 2nd birthday too…
