Meant to say I tried adding the php flags to the .htaccess file by the way.
Someone might be able to correct me if I’m wrong, but maybe this has something to do with php flags not working in .htaccess when phpSuExec is enabled? Not sure.

Hello, I’m brand new to both WordPress & bbPress, but successfully managed to follow all instructions for integration. Everything seems to have worked quite well, with 1 exception. When I access the dashboard panel on either WordPress or bbPress, it logs me out of the other.
I can navigate the blog on WordPress, leave comments, etc., and vice versa on bbPress, without having to log back in to either; it only occurs when I access the Dashboard panels.
I suppose if I have to, I can live with this, as its just a nuisance, but would love to fix it if possible.
I am not that good at php yet, just learning as I go. Pretty sure I got all the cookie integration correct. I found a couple of posts on here suggesting things like:
‘AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php
AddHandler x-httpd-php .php4′
When I first tried the above, it seemed to have solved the issue, only it broke other links on the site (this caused downloads to occur rather than links).
Using WordPress 3.0.1 & bbPress 1.0.2.
My Host provider is JustHost & server has php 5 with phpSuExec enabled.
Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Well, I managed to fix another problem which was cookie sharing was not working. It is now, after manually editing bb-config.php. There is a line for the NONCE_KEY which was not asked for in guided web setup… so I copied my NONCE_KEY from wp-config.php. I also noticed that the guided setup asked for the salt values but there were no corresponding define() lines for salts in bb-config so I added those in the same style as in wp-config, with a BB_ prefix to the variable names… one or the other or both of those changes fixed cookie integration for me.
Meanwhile, the administration link is still broken. I have no user role map or anything other than theme changes, and the fact that the text is not styled at all seems weird. (still looks the same as the screenshot linked above) But I have no previous bbpress experience to base this on so I don’t know how badly broken it is.
I may have to end up adding subforums right into the bbpress tables through phpmyadmin… bleh

I am digging bbPress!
Check out my new forum…
Music Festival Junkies Forum
OK I am going round in circles trying to get bbpress installed;
I have done a fresh unzip to a new directory, as a sub-directory of WordPress…
If I then open the url mysite.com/forums (i renamed bbpress folder to forums) I get a cannot connect to database error…
So I then go bb-config-sample.php file and rename it to bb-config.php and enter my database details and then go back to mysite.com/forums URL and either get
“Oh dear! bbPress is already installed.”
Or I get a prompt for database details which leads me to a login page with “User does not exist.” error…
Is there a way to create a user somehow? I cannot login as there’s no existing user…
I am going round in circles and nothing seems to work…
I have tried many different variations, I had it working once but since then (deleted all files) I cannot get it going again…
Any ideas?
Cool. I finally got in. Thanks, everyone. What I did was install the bbPress Integration plugin, clear my cookies, and then log into bbpress admin w/ a different browser (Firefox instead of IE).

Hello, trying to get bbpress 1.0.2 working with wordpress 3.0.3. It appears to install OK and can read the wp user table – I can log in to bbpress with wordpress accounts. The wp user I designate as the keymaster can use the Admin link on bbpress. However when I try to use the admin feature something seems broken – I get a page with unstyled text showing some statistics, and all I can do is change the theme. (screenshot here: http://yfrog.com/mkbbpressadminerrorp ) Shouldn’t I be able to create new forums or do other admin stuff from here?
I tried to reset my password here on the bbpress and got the email but the reset link led to a ‘you are not allowed…’ page. I noticed a few topics on this here, is this still an open bug and will I see it on my (soon to be) own install?
Any help appreciated 
Hello,
fel, I have recently installed fresh new wordpress and bbpress on my web site. I am still running into the problem of posts not being created unless default forum is filled in on the options screen. However, I can’t override this by using a different forum number on the write a post page. Any idea what the hangup is there?
Thanks

@ topic starter this is a known issue for a long time..
You can’t do anything against it. (maybe do a new integration) but don’t do anything without backing up..
Try this:
Go back to your WordPress site Log-out > move back to the forum page and log-in on the bbPress site as the admin than you see you can go to the bbPress back-end..
Now you also can go to the WordPress site and jump to the WordPress back-end.
So my advice would be try to delete the WordPress log-in section from your WordPress site and try to include the bbPress log-in section into the WordPress section else you will keep this issue.
(i have the same issue)

Try logging out of both bbpress and wp, then logging back into bbpress only. That works for me.

Congarats JJJ – though I admit to thinking you already were, maybe I just heard a rumour 
Heads up…
With the holidays coming up and starting my new job at Automattic, progress on the plugin is going to slow down for a week or two. GautamGupta is working on Google Code-in projects for the bbPress plugin and doing a great job on the tasks he’s completed so far.
I don’t know where to get it but Bing for:
MPMimic + bbPress + theme + (download)
It’s a replica of this theme..
