The plugin version of bbpress is integrated with WordPress out of the box, so you could give that a try?

Shame they are not comparable, Should we should keep separate hosting for Word press and bbPress.
I was looking to commission these together with a membership plugin.
Is it possible with paid professional help or not worth the effort and I should look at another system?
Thanks

@suziwilson – Unless a post has been deleted, you did not say you went to /wp-admin, your post says you went to /bb-press.
Do you have FTP access to your site? If so, delete the bbpress plugin and see if you can access your WP admin.
As I previously explained… when I enter http://www.yoursite.com/wp-admin/ I do not get my admin panel. And please don’t patronize me by telling me I have to fill in my site name where sitename is in the URL.
Help is appreciated.
Check wp-config.php for any lines that define a $wp-> object setting.
They will break wordpress 3.1 or higher and give a $wp->add_query_var error.
For example:
$wp->cookiedomain = '.example.com';
Will work in 3.0 and below but break WP 3.1 and 3.2
You’ll have to research for the replacement define setting as an alternative to $wp->
For example, the modern replacement for the above line is
define(COOKIE_DOMAIN,'.example.com');

bbPress = a forum plugin.
BuddyPress = a community plugin.
Your admin panel is at: http://www.yoursite.com/wp-admin/
Ideally a user would be able to log in to buddypress and also be logged into the forum. All users (logged in or not) would have access to the forum. I would just add it as a tab in the main navigation of the site.
I’ve seen a thread on going to http://www.yoursite.com/bb-press but then subsequent comments about the fact that you have to login first as administrator before you can use this entry method.
So, I’ve installed bbPress and BuddyPress (still not sure what the heck the difference is). But, I do not know how to access my admin panel.
Sounds like a stupid question, but the plugin has no documentation on the matter that I could find.
Thank you
I would suggest that this meta-key could be a start somewhere.
$custom_title = bb_get_usermeta($user->ID, 'bbpress_title');
I have successfully installed the bbPress 2.0 plugin on a WordPress 2.3.1 site. I can see the Forums, Topics, etc. on the admin menus, and I have created a forum. However, when I try to view the forum using the provided link (http://server.tld/forums/forum/family-talk/) or just trying to use the http://server.tld/forums URL, results in a not-found condition. Any thoughts?
Thanks!
PS – I did a few forums searches. I agree with the guy who said a quick how-to would be very useful! (What to do after install…)
Thank you John, I installed branch and it now excludes subscribers from posting in a closed topic.
BTW, every time I install a new version I need to change the permissions on bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/css/bbpress.css from 600 to 644 after FTPing it up or I have no styles in my forum, maybe a bug or maybe my FTP client but I don’t usually have issues with permissions after uploading.
What is it exactly that you’re trying to do. Anything is possible. 
The WordPress one. I just figured out how to fix the dashboard without the forum. I deleted the bp-forums.php file from the main BuddyPress directory. Now my site is working (without a forum) and the dashboard works too. No idea why…
I would like to know if there is a way to modify this file to get the forums to work with BuddyPress.
Any ideas?
Is that bbpress 2.0 RC1? I’ve had two subscriber users post in two different closed topics on my install at http://www.politepix.com/forums/openears
When you say ‘dashboard’ do you mean the bbPress one, or the WordPress one?
This has been covered in these forums a few times already, which may or may not be an indicator of how little the search functionality gets used.

@JJJ I think some of the files have been accidentally committed with native word in the following files.
bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/bbpress/content-single-topic.php:native
bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/bbpress/content-single-user-edit.php:native

Using 2.0-beta3 version.
bbpress version 2.0-beta-2b
I can only see a Forum link in the dashboard, a page with just a few settings of bbpress, none about spam, plugins, Akismet, or advanced settings.
