Well, I deep integrate most sites I end up installing so the page makes sense as a link to the forums, 
Your problem is the bbpress database tables. you can directly change the bb_optionmeta table to show the changes to the new location. That should fix it. Also delete your .htaccess fiel.
bbPress 1.0 and WordPress 2.8.2
It’s not the database in the bb-config.php file that changed. It was the Worpress 2.8.2 database that got migrated.
https://trac.bbpress.org/ is pretty neat. Thanks for that.
well what happened at :
http://www.atcv.net/
it is up and running!!!!!
did you reinstalled wordpress? and bbPress??
well i am facing similar problem i used wordpress 2.8.2 and bbpress 1.0.2,
similar error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp() in /……./wp-blog-header.php on line 18
it has shifted to line 18 because i did functions integration
https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/
earlier bbPress was running but not the wordpress, after doing this Functions integration bbPress too started showing a warning about this require_once(‘path/to/wp-blog-header.php’); and a fatal error.
but then i removed the function require_once(‘path/to/wp-blog-header.php’); and now i have bbPress up and running, earlier there was a SECURE AUTH cookie salt mismatch which i changed, but i didn’t solve the problem with wordpress install, earlier while installing bbPress, i checked wordpress config file it had three cookie keys and salts weren’t there so i defined 70 letter long strings with the characters
1,2,3…0
a,b,c…z
A,B,C…Z
!@#$%^&*()_+=-:”‘;<>?/.,
true wordpress keys don’t have these special characters
could these be the cause of the problem?
or filling in a wrong key at installtion process could have done it,
i don’t think defining a new salt key could have initiated all this
i have two wordpress MU installs and bbPress works well with them.
why problems with standard wordpress maybe character support?????????
So my bbpress is broken, and I don’t know how to fix it.
I built my site with wordpress in a sub directory. I integrated my bbpress with my wordpress and it worked great!
Then I decided that I wanted my URL to look like its own domain, instead of a subdomain. My wordpress went from being
brandonmdennis.com/oxhorn
to
oxhorn.com
I saved my pagelinks and presto, everything is snazzy. I went to check my forum, however, and it was broken. My forum was missing, but I still saw the admin section. So no sweat, I logged into the dashboard and proceeded to change the URL in settings from
brandonmdennis.com/oxhorn/forum
to
oxhorn.com/forum
Thinking that this would solve the issue. I clicked update, and got to an “oops! page not found” screen. But now I can’t even log into my bbpress install dashboard. Everything I do now sends me to an “oops” error page.
I tried uninstalling bbpress by removing the folder and removing the wordpress bbpress integration plugin. I tried doing a new, clean installation of bbpress, but when I get to step two I see the message “Woops! Looks like you already have bbpress installed” and it wont let me go further. I even tried installing it in a different subdirectory and got the same problem. My questions are:
1) How do I re-install bbpress?
2) Is there some code I need to remove from my wordpress installation?
3) How do I re-integrate my bbpress with wordpress so that they share the same database? I had it working splendidly until I changed my WordPress domain name.
WordPress site:
oxhorn.com
Bbpress installation:
brandonmdennis.com/oxhorn/forums
Thanks all!
Then you can create a PAGE in wordpress called Forums and it will link to the forums folder automatically.
That entirely depends on your permalink structure. You shouldn’t need to make a page for ‘forums’ at all, if WP is set up correctly, even as a subfolder under the main wordpress folder. I never do 
You’re not snoooping around enough. bbPress development is still occuring, just on a much smaller scale than WordPress. In the past couple months we’ve had a couple alpha version of 1.0, a 1.0 release, 1.0.1 release, 1.0.2 release, 0.9.0.6 release and a new theme at bbpress.org.
You can always watch for activity here:
https://trac.bbpress.org/
Or subscribe to the bbDev mailing list if you really want the nuts and bolts:

What versions of bbPress and WordPress did you integrate?
Some progress. According to my geek, it seems the installation process reset a variable showing all posts as unpublished. He reinstalled WordPress and did some tweaking of the modifications bbPress did to the database, so now at least we have the archive back and all the old posts are visible. The front page seems to be working as well.
However, I still can’t publish any new posts.
We’re working on it.
Well, I looked through it again and there’s not really any conflicting elements in the CSS that match the WordPress CSS, so what could the problem be?
Hello friends.
I am using WordPress since lst 2 year has I must say it just AWSOME. I have just installed bbpress a week back just wondering that bbpress has many thing missing as a complete forum.
1. Moderator. Any user post a topic it must not be published without activation by moderator. I tried the plugin”moderator suite” but its nt working.
2. Number of view: Each post in the forum must display the number of times it has been read. I Could not find any suitable plugin for this.
If I am wrong some where, please guide me for the same
This solved it, thanks a lot!
I created the ./forum page, plus a subpage ./forum/bb-admin in wordpress, for some reason admin did not work immediately. After taking a snapshot of the VM the bb admin function works now, strange. I assume some caching issue.
Thanks for the great product, I can already say this is the forum I have been looking for!
Then you can create a PAGE in wordpress called Forums and it will link to the forums folder automatically.
You have bbpress using the wordpress AND the bbpress css?-
rename your bp folder to forum and then create a PAGE in wordpress that says forum. If you have a folder named forum wordpress will transfer the page control over to it and when you click the link to that page it will go to the forum.
I said, I would do it for free. That would be an optional donation if you appreciated my time and work.
You need to make a page in wordpress called forums that will allow you to access the /forums directory.
Thank you! Install worked now, but there is still a directory problem (I did some browsing in this forum but did not find a specific answer)
I have WP and BB installed in separate directories (WP and BP) under htdocs.
The WordPress blog address is ctubeslabs.com
At bb install I chose ctubeslabs.com/forum as the forums address
Now, when I go to ctubeslabs.com/forum WP handles it and responds with ‘not found’.
At http://ctubeslabs.com/bp/ I get the (unstyled) forum homepage without content.
When I manually type in ctubeslabs.com/bp/bb-admin it redirects to ctubeslabs.com/forum
So missing a clear concept how it should work I am a bit stuck again. For example what is the intended mechanism to make WP ignore the bb url and let bb handle it?
Thanks again for any help!
I did an integrated install of bbPress today (WordPress ver 2.8.2) and it immediately messed up my main site. It deleted me as a user and I had to log back in as Admin to fix that problem. My front page went crazy and is still not fixed, and most of the time my site doesn’t appear at all when I type in the url.
I’ve removed the folder containing the bbPress files, but that hasn’t solved the problem. There are no bb_ files to remove from the database. Is there anything else that needs to be changed back?
Ya I’m not interested in paying $10 for you to “help” me but if anyone wants to make some real suggestions please do so thanks
I’m pretty sure they’re fine. I think it has something to do with my WordPress CSS though because they didn’t do that before I added in the WordPress functions.
I’m assuming you have it like this:
/site1/wordpress files
/site2/wordpress files
and not /site1/wordpress/wordpress files
Right?
If so, just put it the site1 folder as a ‘forums’ folder and you should be fine.
Hi
I have just registered as I am looking to add a forum to my wordpress website and need some basic advice.
I have read a number of posts on the subject and also the installation instructions, integration instructions and FAQ’s and I am getting very confused.
I guess I need to know where in my directory I install the bbPress. Do I have to install it in the root file, or in one of the WP files? My problem is that I have a number of websites, each using a different install of wordpress as the basis of the website, within my root file.
Will an installation of bbPress at root level affect all of the websites?
Or do I install bbPress in one of the WP folders relevant to the specific website?
How do I create a link from the specific website – do I simply create a new page on the blog called “Forum” and use the url address for the page within the bbPress installation at some point. I guess this might become clear to me as I progress with the installation, but not knowing where to put the installation at this stage I am unaware, so a heads up of what to expect will help.
Thanks.
I’m afraid that we don’t understand what you mean? You want the 1.0.* admin management to go back to the .9 version’s admin? Unfortunately that is not gonna happen as they are working to make the admin management identical to wordpress.
Hey Mate, you can email me at rohan [at] rohan-kapoor.com . I can help you get it working.
Hello
I have installed bbPress 1.0.2 today here:
http://www.newlondonsingers.org.uk/blog/wp-content/bbpress
Step 1 & 2 of the install did not have any errors, but step 3 said could not create Forum
I selected options to integrate WordPress (v 2.6.3) which is here
http://www.newlondonsingers.org.uk/blog/
I also have the plugin Members-only installed (v 0.6.7)
Am using PHP 4 and MSSQL 4.1.22
I can’t access bbPress – assume I go to :
http://www.newlondonsingers.org.uk/blog/wp-content/bbpress
which then goes to here: http://www.newlondonsingers.org.uk/blog/wp-content/bbpress/bb-admin/install.php
– says Oh dear!
bbPress is already installed.
Perhaps you meant to run the upgrade script instead?
Please can you help?
Many thanks
