Deep integration has never worked with my theme, and I’ve had a couple within this topic look at it.
PLEASE make the integration of bbPress into WP just as simple as WP Forum / Forum Server – for these plugins all you have to do to integrate the forum is to make a blank page and insert a HTML code like [VastHTML].
I’m still running Forum Server only because I can’t integrate bbPress the way I’d like to, but I’d really love to switch because of it’s far superior forum possibilities (and it looks like the WP Forum / Forum Server development has been discontinued, so their bugs will probably never be solved).
Oh, another important thing for the wishlist: make it possible to import the WP Forum / Forum Server database.
Still the same, logged in the wordpress, not logged in the bbpress but can do it.
only with define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ ); in the both files!
But i look very carefully into the cookies.
I found 2 differences!
First for wordpress cookies
login cookie is with name wordpress_logged_in_xxxxx and path /
and other cookies are with path /wp-admin, wp-content/plugins, /forum/bb-admin /forum/bb-plugins
and for the bbpress cookies are
wordpress_xxxxxxx and path /
and other cookies are with path
website.com/wp-admin
website.comwp-content/plugins
website.com/forum/bb-admin
website.com/forum/bb-plugins
I think this is the problem, but I don’t knew how to fix it, to have path without the host in bbpress cookies…
We’ve got a set of new site editors here on bbPress.org, and so I wanted to start a thread for everybody to track anything they think could be improved in the copy and documentation of bbpress.org.
I want this same functionality.
The problem is, these are all hacks. The bottom line is there’s no functionality to provide this.
I’m disappointed… The more I look under the hood with BBPress, the more I’m kinda let down.
You have to log in there with a wordpress.org account, then you have some additional options. I’m not certain I see a way to create an account there, so create one at wordpress.org and then click “login” https://trac.bbpress.org/login – once that’s done, you will have the option to create a new ticket https://trac.bbpress.org/newticket

or you can install this plugin: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/super-search/#post-2325
works for the latest 1.1
Beat you to it: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/last-post-on-forums
no solution yet but you can respond there to keep it clean.
Indeed, the poll is a joke, they already have decided to work on WordPress integration OR Matt didn’t do his homework and check if any plugin existed first and just copied the results into a poll.
I guess people are too lazy to check if there is a plugin or don’t understand the way bbPress is set up: as small and less feature rich as possible, giving you the option to customize it anyway you like (through plugins etc)…. Would be a shame if that idea disappeared…
As much as i appreciate all her work, i find it a bit childish the way she took down her site and made a big drama about the leadership o BBPress. But hey, this is now in the past so lets look forward to the upcoming release of BBPress.
How do you post a ticket there? I don’t see where I can do that. 
With head hung low I come here to update:
After a week off of this, I fired it up again and noticed that I had installed an older version of bbpress, .9. I upgraded to 1.1 and clicked a few things and was perfectly integrated.
Thanks for helping, everyone, I appreciate it.
daudev if you are NOT using WPMU then you shouldn’t have so many lines.
delete what you pasted and follow these instructions
6 Login to your wordpress dashboard. Go to Plugins->Add New-> search for “bbPress Integration” it should be the first one. Install it and activate.
7 Go to Settings-> bbPress Integration. Enter the bbPress URL without the www. Your plugins URL leave blank. Click on Save Changes. On the bottom box you’ll see some text copy it. Most likely it will say “define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );”
There should be only ONE line in both files. Make sure you have the correct checkbox that says wordpress not wordpressmu
You can always make suggestions at http://trac.bbpress.org for future features and improvements.
How about giving it a try and see if it works?
this question should be addressed on buddypress.org but I know the answer!
The Buddypress’ forums uses the BBpress technology for their Groups. Buddypress has something called Groups. The Groups allow people (your users) to form their own group which they can invite people to join or have people join on their own. The group has it’s own forums controlled by the Group creator. The group creator can add/edit put any forum titles they want. Buddypress adapted the BBpress Forums into the groups.
You’ll have WPMU
BuddyPress with Groups (intergrated BBpress)
BBpress which is a forum only controlled by you.
Good luck. I tried it, got it working for the most part but there are things that aren’t address because it’s three different programs trying to be one.
Hi!
I am new to bbpress/buddypress
we are planning to migrate phpbb3 to bbpress,
so, we plan to have wpmu/bbpress/buddypress
what confuses me and my whole concept, is buddypress forums..
as it is, we plan to move php forums to bbpress
but where do buddypress forums stand?
sure, each group can have a forum – that’s all I know – so I guess they wont replace bbpress forums
Has anyone set up bbpress/buddypress forums? could I have a look at your site and how you are using forums?
Kind regards
Kris
I’m assuming (based on Matt’s leanings) that he would like it to be a plugin and accepting that as probably the way it’ll go. A gross assumption, but the chat sounded rather pro-plugin to me. Could be wrong! 
There’s no need for deep integration either : you just make bbPress work with the WordPress stylesheet .
Which is what I did, but it begs the question: Why?
If BuddyPress can make it work with one (two) clicks to integrate login and theme, why can’t WordPress and bbPress? Integration means I don’t have to edit two places if I want to modify my theme which, with a superficially ‘integrated’ WP, BB, Wiki and gallery, is much nicer! One less thing to do!
Some people also invested a lot in bbPress ( energy or money ), and trusted the bbPress team, so why make this big and unexpected change to bbPress ?
… I don’t see what that has to do with the price of rice. We’ve all invested time and money in bbPress, WordPress and a hundred other free, open-source applications. If bbPress ‘belongs’ to Akismet, then it’s their right to make the changes they feel would make the software more supportable and usable. They don’t have to ask us anything, but there they are, being good peoples, asking our feelings on the matter. They’re well within their rights to say we’re all fools and do what they want.
And bbPress is GPL open source, so unless I’m mistaken, you can port it to your own forum app. As long as you stay in the GPL too.
Maybe a suggestion for bbpress 1.1?
