You can do that with deep integration by what MathiasB suggested or how your theme handles it. wp_page_menu or wp_list_pages()

Better one – Copy over the html of navigation to bbPress side. Its not worth using deep integration just for this alone.
Its very much similar to a WordPress plugin. Get started with those. Hope that helps 
obviously you would need to deep integrate it with WordPress to use a WordPress function on bbPress side.

Its better if you just copy the menu html over to bbPress theme. How much do you edit navigation anyway.

subj, some simple about “creating first plugin”
etc making new field on topic post screen or something
Ok so I’ve got my instance running on Deep Integration but I’ve got a few errors. For one, the headers call but no title displays. Also, I am unable to set how the sidebar is registered. Any thoughts or any help?
Just enable WordPress functions in bbPress and paste this in your header:
<?php wp_page_menu(); ?>
If you wanna have a homelink:
<?php wp_page_menu('show_home=Home'); ?>
Make changes in your bb-styles.css itself and if it conflicts with any of the WP side elements then rename them and then do it.
There is no need of specific theme integrating tutorial, it can be done exactly by following my tutorial. If that didn’t help, yours won’t too. It requires some techhow to deal with that. It wasn’t for end users anyway.
you can replicate the same code for menu on bbPress side and it should work fine.
Regarding conflicts, it was never made to work like that (Deep integration) and if there is some conflict you can only fix it yourself else you are out of luck.
The “deep integration” code still breaks my site, but the link to the style sheet in header.php wasn’t working because I had bb-styles.php in the wrong place.
Also I’m loading WordPress from wp-blog-header.php instead of wp-load.php.
The only thing that remains is to figure out how to make changes to the bbPress pages without making changes to the whole site since it’s calling two style sheets. I’ve spent no small amount of time with “inspect element” and “firebug” in Google Chrome trying to find the styles I want to change on the bbPress pages. You could tell me in short order I’m sure how to make the changes I want. But as I said, I wanted to get all of the kinks worked out before I go public with it.
When I get it all figured out I’m thinking I’ll publish the info specific to integrating Twentyten and Kakumei (for those of us unambitious, ignorant folks who don’t have the where with all to do something original). I assume that you won’t mind me referencing your tutorial? No need to reinvent the wheel!
Thanks again for your tutorial, your interest and your help!
I ask you another thing, there is a way for put a menu of wordpress (then with wp_list_page() ) pages on bbpress forum without insert:
require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/../wp-load.php’); ??
if I do the deep integration putting this string on my bb-config a plugin go in conflict…
ay idea?
Is better then i’m open a new topic?

You will need to fix file permissions for them to work. Take a look at this – http://blog.ashfame.com/2009/09/fix-my-templates-my-plugins-folder-not-working-bbpress/
Also for your handy reference, I share my bbPress resource page with you – http://blog.ashfame.com/bbpress/
Let me know if you are stuck with anything again. I will be happy to help you out
Use Firebug (Firefox addon)or simplest(ugliest) View Page Source option.
P.S. We are at bbPress support forums and not at a web development one
This issue can be solved by the bbPress integration plugin for WordPress. Keep the plugin activated, it generates the required cookies on WordPress authentication hooks which otherwise are not created for accessing bbPress dashboard (or admin panel)
P.S. – I actually looked at the plugin’s code today!
Don’t know what the BackPress has to do here!

Instead of loading WordPress from wp-load.php, load it from wp-blog-header.php.
I checked the header.php file of Twentyten and there is nothing in it that would stop you from making changes. Follow the tutorial and you will be fine.
This is the line before which you should add the link to bb-style.css
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="<?php bloginfo( 'stylesheet_url' ); ?>" />
Rest is in the tutorial.
Well, I don’t quite have it done. I can’t figure out why your code breaks the site as I mentioned earlier. Do I need it? (I forgot to mention that your code calls wp-blog-header.php, and another tutorial I referenced calls wp-load.php. I know that requiring wp-load.php is a requirement; but what about wp-blog-header.php?)
Also, I don’t know how to link the style sheet to bbPress because I can’t figure out how to get the link in the header. I don’t understand header.php in Twentyten. Can you help me with that?
I’ll post a link when I get it published, but I’m doing all of this on a local mirror of my public site.
If you can see the Admin link but can’t get in, this is a cookie problem and if you can’t even see the admin link, then you don’t have the privilege, fix it here – http://blog.ashfame.com/2009/09/fix-lost-admin-access-bbpress/
Looks like you got it done. Post a link to your forums. You need a little bit of CSS to fix that.
I’ve gotten this to work this way so far:
Put this line in bb-config.php
require_once( '/your/full/path/wp-load.php');
In the files listed below, replace
<?php bb_get_header(); ?> with
<?php get_header(); ?><div id="container">
<div id="content" role="main">
<?php if ( !in_array( bb_get_location(), array( 'login-page', 'register-page' ) ) ) login_form(); ?>
and <?php bb_get_footer(); ?> with
</div>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
404.php
edit-post.php
favorites.php
forum.php
front-page.php
login.php
password-reset.php
profile-base.php
profile-edit.php
profile.php
register.php
register-success.php
search.php
stats.php
tag-single.php
tags.php
topic.php
I use Twentyten with one right sidebar. I decided I didn’t want it in the bbPress section of the site. If you want it, replace the footer code above with this:
</div>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?><div id="primary" class="widget-area" role="complimentary">
</div><?php get_footer(); ?>
I want bbPress to fill the width of the “container”. I can the following in-line style in each page (
I’d also like to rearrange the objects on the page, which I may also work on once I can use the style sheet.
May not like it when I’m done, but it’s been a learning experience!
How to make WordPress Posts, BBpress topics .. and intergrate the posts
Will do. Thanks! Sweet dreams.
I haven’t played with twentyten code yet so can’t say if that will be easy for you to follow up. I am in my bed right now, typing this on my mobile.↲You do one thing, get back to me tomorrow & I will tell you. I am quite busy with my schedule so if I don’t come back on my own, hit me an email > ashishsainiashfameatgmaildotcom↲
Perhaps I should have included this info in my last reply. This is the error I get when using the code you recommended in bb-config.php:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘;’ in /myfullpath/public_html/bbpress/bb-config.php on line 15
Line 15: if ( !defined('ABSPATH') & !defined('XMLRPC_REQUEST'))
FWIW, I learned from another tutorial that I needed to put this code at the end of the bb-config.php file:
require_once( '/myfullpath/public_html/wp-load.php');
I found that the integration will not work without it.
Is there a way for me to pull my page navigation over from wordpress to put in my header instead of having to manually change the page navigation in bbpress anytime I add a page in wordpress?
