in profile.php i’ve found this <?php echo get_user_name( $user->ID ); ?> but in post.php don’t print nothing… i don’t know bbpress very good to recreate the function 
any idea for a simplest way?
thanks!
Hello,
My integration between WP & BB is failed. Because if i login in WordPress, i must login again in BBpress. So the cookies aren’t the same. But wp-config and bb-config have the same AUTH Keys (So BB_AUTH_KEY and AUTH_KEY are the same (and the rest too ofcourse))
I don’t understand what i am doing wrong.
One thing is good integrated: The users. In both installation, i can logged in with every username. (that is registered)
EDIT:
When i see in bb-admin/options-wordpress.php, the AUTH KEY’s are different then the KEY’s that i have set in de bb-config and wp-config.
Thanks
Note: Micheal is not willing to solve any issue of bbpress.
I hate to bring this up – but I simply cannot ignore this. Pagal, please do not spread false information. I simply stated that I’m unable to get access to my server at the moment, for various reasons. So not willing is a false reproduction of the truth.
Like I have said before, as soon as I have access to it again, I will show you the different means and ways of customizing your front page.
Take care
You can certainly use another database for bbPress, but there’s no need for it, it makes integration more difficult, and creating a new database is not going to help with the original problem, which is just incorrect database connection details.
Again I would still not install bbPress on the same DB because if I ever wanted to just get rid of bbPress, i simply can delete the whole DB without a care but if it is installed within WP DB, I would have to find each table that is associated with bbPress in your case is prefixed to forum1 and delete all those. For a total novice, it would not be easy to know that technically.
Every hosting account should have their own UI/utility for you to create a database and assign a user to. Godaddy will have that as well, just go into your control panel and you should find it. If memory serves me correctly they also use phpMyAdmin. But I would definitely have a knowledgeable person do it for you.
@royho,
thanks for the info. i’m pretty novice at this & my first attempt at a forum. how do i create a new database? is it as simple as just creating a new folder to drop bbpress in? if so, do i do it inside the main wp database or adjacent to it?
I’ve seen some threads here and there that suggest its just a matter of using the header and footer code from your wordpress theme and applying it to your bbpress theme.
I’m a real disaster when it comes to doing a whole lot with code. I can only edit and rearrange it. I have no experience with writing any code.
I was wondering if there was anyone more experienced with performing this that I could send the needed wordpress theme files to and maybe I could receive some help with the process?
I am willing to pay for help if needed, I appreciate such generous help.

I recently changed the database host names across several sites. Nothing else changed except that.
I changed the database host names for all my wordpress installs in the config files, and they all work now.
However, simply changing the database host names in the config files for my bbpress installs did not work. I have 2 bbpress installs, and they both say “Error: Could not establish a database connection.” I then tried to edit the host name where I found it in the database, and it still does not work.
My question is what have I done wrong? Why would changing the database host name make it not work when every other database connection works?
@jcriley,
Your error message immediately tells me that either your login credentials are not correct or your database does not exist or has a wrong name. Did you create the database first before you try to install it? And by the way, I wouldn’t enter “wordpress” if i were you because that could potentially wipe out your wordpress database. You should create a separate database for bbPress and integrate the two if you like.
The only time I’ve seen this happen is when the integration was not done properly. You mentioned “sometimes”, so does that mean at times it works? Or are you seeing the symptoms of logging in on wordpress does not log you in on bbpress, you would have to log in again on bbpress and vice versa? Is that what you’re seeing?
In case this may help you guys. Here is a video tutorial of how it is done quick and easy.

Respecto a la traducción al español de bbPress, yo había seguido las instruciones que dan en Ayuda WP http://ayudawordpress.com/como-integrar-bbpress-y-wordpress/ que suelen ser las usuales para la traducción de WP, es decir: colocar el archivo es_ES.mo a la carpeta “bb-includes/languages” Pero no funcionó. Luego de dar vueltas me di cuenta que en el archivo bb-config.php, precisamente antes de la última línea a modificar “define( ‘BB_LANG’, ‘es_ES’ );” se encuentra la explicación, que no es otra cosa que incluir el archivo es_ES.mo en una carpeta o fichero de nombre my-languages a colocar en el archivo raiz de bbPress, (y no dentro de bb-includes). Así lo hice y funcionó de inmediato.
WP forums use bbpress. The Post form address is https://wordpress.org/support/bb-post.php for the Post button on WP forums. But for a guy who says Code is Poetry, it is really sad that he isn’t even allowing many people to participate actually. Last day I talked with a developer who has created many plugins for bbpress. He said Matt replied to his mail asking him to just stay on track, when he aksed about joining the bpress developers. Matt please shed some light. Should we continue using bbpress or do we need to find an alternative?
@etiviti It’s awesome 
I like it!
Nice video, arpowers! I’m sure it will come in handy to many people! Keep up the good work!
my users are not converting over but everything else is. anyone have a similar problem? i am using phpbb3 version 7 and bbpress 1.0.
yoyopop,
thanks a million. i will test it out and see if i can get it to work.
Hey guys,
In case anyone finds this useful; we’ve put together a video tutorial on how to install bbPress:
http://www.pagelines.com/posts/how-to-install-bbpress/
we will also be following it up with one on how to “deep integrate” with a WordPress theme
I’m sorry. I can’t edit my post anymore.
I want to see their username. Because i want to link to the wordpress profile page instead of the standard bbpress profile page. So it must be: example.com/members/username and not example.com/forum/profile/displayname.
I can edit the link in a file by myself, but i don’t know how to call the username (for the user that is logged in) and not the display name.
This plugin worked on the 0.9 series, maybe it still works with 1.0:
