I would also like to be able to embed an entire bbpress forum right into a page on my wordpress site. Is the plugin available yet?
@CrownOfMars – Try the latest revision and let me know if it’s fixed for you. Was a regression from fixing something else.
@Rick Lewis – You haven’t started over, because you still have a custom theme. It looks to me like you still have
add_theme_support( 'bbpress' );
in your custom theme, even though you don’t have any bbPress files in your custom theme to actually provide bbPress support.
Using the add_theme_support() method is what tells bbPress not to use its own internal files, and just let WordPress do its thing and figure it out. In that case, bbPress will follow the normal template hierarchy for WordPress (archive.php, index.php, etc…)
So you either…
- Copy the bbPress files out of the bbp-twentyten folder into your custom theme and use the add_theme_support() method, which allows you to use page templates.
- Don’t move anything, don’t add anything, and use shortcodes and adjust your CSS as needed.
- Create your own completely custom method of handling bbPress, which is possible to do but way more work than it’s probably worth doing unless you need something *really* tricked out.
1. No, you should install it in a sub-directory like forums. If you install it in the same dir, then their might be conflicting urls.
2. You’d need to port the theme yourself. There is no theme compat. (Though the new under-development bbPress plugin has that)
3. If you don’t want anything of WordPress to be shown in bbPress (ie. by using WP functions), then no. It would add extra load.

Thanks bbklo. I think I must have misunderstood your original dilemma. The solution for me was to change the defined cookie path within wp-config.php from define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ ) to define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/wordpress’ )
Now I am no longer logged out when switching between the two. For a little insight WP & BB are installed at mysite/wordpress and mysite/bbpress
Anyway… thank you. I’m pretty new to this stuff but trying to wrap my head around it.

bbklo – What was your solution to being logged out when switching between WP and BB?

Hello ^^ Im new here and ppbress looks interesting..
I tested a Mingle Forum for the beginning and its still cool but bbpress looks better.
I would ask if it possible that , if i write a comment on my wordpress blog, then it will write a forum reply automatic. of course, if i write a forum reply it will show as a comment on my wordpress site ( article )
Of course, that if write a Article, it will automaticly add a Thread in the forum, + comments/ replys…
sorry for the English, ^^”
and thanks for the help

@CrownOfMars – Looks like depending on how your forums are setup, that WordPress is doing some canonical redirecting. I’ll see what I can do to prevent that from happening here.
@CrownOfMars – There is no need for a ‘/forums’forum’ page, and it should be redirecting to a 404 page, using your 404.php template file. Because a forum is of the post type ‘forum’ that’s how WordPress knows what kind of content to serve up, what template to use, etc…
I am having this same problem. When I integrated by WordPress and bbpress, I lost access to my bb-admin. I believe it’s because I forgot to specify my user roles. I am searching for a fix.
I’ve tried completely removing by bbPress install and re-doing it, to no avail.
And I can’t even find a file called “wp_usermeta” in my WordPress database.
Any suggestions?
thanks
Yes Yes, I’m sure!
I don’t know how to do, and I can not do many tests because the forum is very active.
One idea that occurred to me is to make copies of the databases and delete everything and start from scratch without the integration of wordpress, but I have all users actually on wordpress, and I have no idea how to pass the users from wordpress to bbpress.
Would greatly appreciate your ideas
many thanks

Hello,
I just accidentally integrated bbPress with WordPress without first editing the bbPress User map role to ensure the Admin was linked to Key Master. Now my WordPress login works for both, but I can no longer access the bbPress admin panel.
I found this forum post (http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/lost-key-master), which says to open up bb_topicmeta and delete the last few lines with meta_key starting wp_” but I can’t find the “bb_topicmeta” file anywhere.
I also tried adding: $bb->new_keymaster = ‘admin’; in the config.php file to no avail.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Without knowing anything about coding, it’s going to be almost impossible.
You can learn to program though; once you do that, the sky is the limit. 
The soon to be released bbPress plugin for WordPress will allow something like a moderation queue pretty easily, but it would need to be built.

I am definitely outside of your immediate circle, and am running the bbPress plugin over at testbp.org/discussion. A site with over 22k subscribed users that are able to post in those forums with no issues.
Not saying there isn’t a bug somewhere, just saying it hasn’t manifested itself on my installs yet.
Also, the bug isn’t in WordPress 3.1, or 3.2. It’s probably in how I’m handling the query differences between the two versions, as some of the advanced meta type queries are being fine-tuned.

Also, the code itself is very heavily documented. If you’re curious about the inner workings, dive in and take a look. Honestly, documenting bbPress.org will be largely a community effort once I get things setup here. I’ll contribute to get it off the ground and will always be around to help, but it’s hard to build everything and document everything too. The WordPress codex is the culmination of years of hundreds of developers chipping in, and both bbPress and BuddyPress will eventually have something similar.
VERY interesting additional data!!
1. I have a programmer in Pakistan (I’m in California), and she sees the identical bad behavior on her local machine using WP 3.1.2.
2. I remotely accessed a computer at another location and used it to download and install a fresh copy of the bbP Plugin, thinking maybe by some totally bizarre circumstance it had something to do with my local machine (virus, who knows what). No change at all, still can’t create topics.
3. Programmer tried WP3.2b1 on her local machine, same problem, identical in every way.
4. I tried WP3.2b1 on my server (same one I’ve been using this whole time) and…
IT WORKS!!!!

user & password of “test”. User is a normal subscriber and can post topics as expected.
NO problem whatsoever.
This was using https://wordpress.org/wordpress-3.2-beta1.zip
Identical install process of 3147 bbP plugin. NO change at all.
So what does this tell us??? I really have no idea but I’m hoping someone else does.

WordPress 3.1.2 and I’ve reactivated many times… no change. Just did it again right now.
I agree this is the strangest issue, and that’s part of why I’m so passionate about it. In a “former life” I was a software QA engineer and a bug like this would just never sit well with me. 
Possibly related note, it seems that after reactivation I also have to re-save my permalinks… could be related to the flushing problem I’ve seen you mention elsewhere.
Let me know if by chance you spot anything when you regress to 3.1! There has to be an explanation for this… there just has to be!
