You need to ensure you’re changing the cookie keys located in the bb_config and wp_config files. Also make sure you’re using the appropriate wp/bbp integration plugin.
Both systems are using the same database, and they each recognize my User account information. However, when I log into one, it doesn’t log me into both.
A quick suggestion to make finding things easier on large forums (i.e. WordPress.org/support), could you add date-based filtering options (i.e. options to only show posts/topics from the last 24hrs, week, month, year) so you can narrow an issue that may be recent.
Thanks
Well, I’ve been able to get my theme to look & work the way I want it to. So all’s good.
I just have to figure out how to get my drop-down menus to work.
Thanks
Tony
Please be patient. Waiting about an hour between bumping is a little rude for a forum full of volunteers 
What are you using for the rest of your site? PHP pages, WordPress?
Though I am certain someone will clone it in short time like the did with wordpress.org
I’ll release anything interesting that comes out of the work, but so far it’s pretty standard stuff.
I tried moving the files to a new bbPress directory under the Forums directory and that returned a 404 error also. I also tried moving a plain html file into the forums directory and that was not found also. Also I am Hosted on Godaddy. Then I realized I needed a / at the end! Sorry I guess I should have known that.
But one question Do I use the same database as WordPress if I want to integrate?
I’ll have a fiddle with the documents and see if switching to Mac or Unix format helps. I just assumed i’d run with what i use on WordPress…
What concerns me is why these role lines seem to be required for template files to function correctly, and that in keeping them there invalidates the pages…
I suppose the question now is, does anyone else have the issues i mentioned when editting or creating bbPress themes? … If anyone is to report they do not, then i’m happy to accept that it’s likely my mistake and look back over what i’m doing, and where i’m going wrong…. but i’d like a little feedback beforehand….
Admittedly i’m using a custom theme that i converted from a WordPress theme, however i’m not incapable of managing code, so i’ll happily accept that i may have fudged something unintentionally if that’s really the case.
I’ll let you know if using Unix or Mac format makes a difference….
English is awkward, but please understand.
When the installation work well bbpress was alone.
But, After the work was not Integration with WordPress.
Has 2 kinds of problems.
1st, encoding error.
Eroding the value of WordPress DB is stored.But The value of BBpress DB is stored in presentation well.
Do you know how to solve the people?
2rd, Login error.
Add in bb-config.php that ‘require_once(‘../wp-blog-header.php’)’
but log in to check after WordPress Because BBpress was not. Was login before Integration with WordPress.
Only presentation ID value After Integration with WordPress, login was not.
plz…help me.
lstelie, it’s not a theme for release, it’s going to be for here on bbpress.org
Though I am certain someone will clone it in short time like the did with wordpress.org
I see. Well, alright, you mentioned that having bbpress nested underneath wordpress is a less common method of installation. How should I go about reinstalling it in the usual manner?
Have a look here on how to exclude a forum from the front page loop, whilst keeping the post limit intact.
limit forums included in latest discussions
Note the core hack required to keep the paging numbers correct.
Maybe you then need to write another small custom query to bring out just forum 17, as I’m not sure you if you can have two loops. (perhaps the WP multiple loop info would give some insight into this: https://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop#Multiple_Loops)
Ahh gotcha about the RSS feed syndication.
Didn’t know you used FeedWordpress and then another bbPress plugin to sync between the two.
Definitely not the best way to go about things, but a nice workaround!
Would be nice if there was a separate RSS syndication plugin that was native to bbPress, but that’s just wishful thinking!
By the way, I replied to your problem on the thread you opened.
Not sure I provided the right answer… but hopefully someone else can look at your thread and give a response!
I am having a similar issue as others. I have uploaded a renamed bbPress directory that I renamed forums. It is sitting in the root along with wp-admin, etc. Inside that directory are all the files and directories for bbPress including bb-Admin, etc. But when I attempt to go to that directory I get a 404 error inside my WordPress mu, as if it is trying to load a blog. The error is where the blog would normally be. I do have a wildcard set for sub-domains and wondered what that might do. Do I have to take WordPress offline to do the install? It certainly seems that WordPress is trying to handle the request since if I specify ./forums/index.php the index.php disappears before the 404 error. btw I am on WordPress MU 2.8.2.
R-a-y: Thank you! The theme is a heavily modified version of Scoun.
Although I am soon to write a new template because of the css/html isnt that great on it. 
Just my way of learning the ropes.
About the RSS feeds: I use feedwordpress plugin to feed it into my wordpress. In wordpress then, I put in some arguments to filter out the RSS feed so it won’t show up there. Somehow it still shows up in my WordPress RSS so I need to find a way to filter it out from the RSS too.
The RSS syndication plugin can hold a number of RSS feeds with alot of options and automatically post articles.
Then I use BBpress WordPress Synchronization plugin and when bbpress finds a new post in WordPress it automatically syncs and creates a post in one of my bbpress subforums.
Somehow i dont want all my stuff to go into BbPress so when I write some new article in WordPress I can choose manually wether to sync this to BbPress or not.
One thing I have an issue with is the first page; I want to make an own “Latest Discussions” loop with all forums EXCEPT RSS. And then an own “latest discussions” With only RSS forum.
Problem is When i used this inside the loop
//Show latest discussions with all forums except id 17
<?php if ( $topics ) : foreach ( $topics as $topic ) : ?>
<?php if( $topic->forum_id != 17 ) { ?>
codeblock
<?php } endif;?>
<?php endforeach; endif; // $topics ?>
//Show latest discussions but only forum 17
<?php if ( $topics ) : foreach ( $topics as $topic ) : ?>
<?php if( $topic->forum_id == 17 ) { ?>
codeblock
<?php } endif;?>
<?php endforeach; endif; // $topics ?>
The pagination gets an error (Shows me fewer posts than the actual limit), and I cant use the same loop (With different conditions) twice.. Then I get a blank page. :S
So how should I do? Have any Idea? Im not so used to the bbpress loop yet..
AFAIK, there are just a couple reasons to want integration.
1. If you want users to be able to log in once, and comment in WordPress and participate in the forums, then integrated user data is useful.
2. Some people want to integrate their WordPress footer, sidebar and header, so access to WordPress functions get_sidebar(), get_header() and get_footer() are useful.
3. Sometimes people want to share data between the forum and the blog. Maybe a list of latest forum topics in the blog. Maybe they want a new topic created in the forum for every blog post. Integration is useful for that.
I don’t use integration, but I can understand why some people want it.
chris, i want to be able to insert a first post on certain threads, which i feel need it.
actually, i have a specific idea i want to accomplish, and there are two ways that i can think of implementing it – one that would utilize both wordpress/bbpress – the other would just use bbpress.
chris, could you, or anyone else with extensive wordpress/bbpress knowledge, email me at wldct6[at]yahoo[dot]com so i can describe exactly what i want to do, and help me figure out the best way to do it?
thanks.
OK I did a little spelunking, and a lot of what I need is actually already in my theme, just not appearing where I want it. I guess I need to move it into a <div></div> that appears after the thread info & is some how set to appear on the right of the page.
There are a few things that aren’t in the theme, though, like the RSS feed link. I think the favorites & thread tags form are there, though.
Time to go searching on google. Though if anyone has any pointers on setting this up so it’s at the top right of my page, under my navigation menu, I would appreciate it.
Tony
Thanks, Ipstenu! That works like a charm!
Not exactly a problem except I don’t know how to do this.
WordPress MU is in http:// <my domain>/worship/ folder.
BBPress is in http:// <my domain>/forums/ folder.
I have a page in my WordPress MU site that is called Forums. Right now, it displays a link to http:// <my domain>/forums/. What I would like to have happen is that users get taken to http:// <my domain>/forums/ when they click the link for Forums on the navigator bar.
This sounds like some kind of a redirect to me. Is that how this is done? How do I code it?
Thanks
Tony
It’s gotten weirder.
I noticed on the public, hosted site that removing the lines from wp-config that the bbpress integration plugin told me to add cleared the problem in Firefox. So I tried to do that on my local machine. Now I can’t log into WordPress or BBPress.
I’m confused & have no idea what to do. I can’t do anything with the local website using Firefox, which means I have to do my CSS tweaking on the hosted site. It’s easier & quicker to do it locally & upload a modified CSS file (or other files) to the host when I’m done.
Help! Anybody got any ideas they can share as to how to clear this issue?
Tony

I believe wordpress is trying to process the request because you have bbPress nested underneath WordPress which is a less common method of integration.
Try changing that .htaccess to this
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^forums/
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Not quite sure I have that right but give it a go and let’s see.
If it doesn’t work try replacing the forums/ line with this one:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^forums/
Yep, it’s there. Here’s my .htaccess:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
