Nevermind… I figured that part out. 
@HSeatSleeper: Can you talk a little bit more about the special care you gave to the admin account? When testing, I got locked out of my blog as well, and couldn’t figure out why (my wp_1_capabilities were set correctly, as was user_level).
Can you easily list the steps you took to secure the admin account? Thanks! 
How about explaining what you did, please, and what the result was.
Best place to start:
https://bbpress.org/forums/tags/integration
You will be copying the WordPress styles and using them in your bbPress theme to approximate the look of your WordPress site in bbPress.
Some people have also put bbPress in a iFrame inside a WordPress page (which I think is a horrible solution):
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/easy-way-to-integrate-bbpress-wordpress-themes
_ck_ was talking about something she had done with GeoIP and flags at one point:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/caching-in-bbpress#post-9768
I thought maybe it was part of mini-stats?

See the flags on the bottom of that page.
I’m afraid I don’t take on paid work, since I simply can’t guarantee the time needed to write code on demand, ensure it’s to a standard expected of paid work and to be honest, I don’t need the money anyway.
As I said, I’d be more than happy for someone else to use my code as reference on how to implement such a feature, since it’s pretty much just butchered up parts of core bbPress code, but as it stands I simply don’t have the time to work on the plugin and guarantee it’s to a production standard, paid or not.
As to the requesting login details later part, I think that was requested before, and I did look into doing it, but because of the way bbPress is structured internally, you have to bypass so many checks against the referring page and carry over the post data to be passed later on. Do-able yes, but not really a 5 minute job, since as far as I know you’d still need to re-do the post function as I did previously.
It’s nice to know there’s still interest in this though, and I’ll look into trying to implement it more cleanly later on with requested features. Having pulled and learnt the login and post system once, it should be easier a second time. Really, really wish we had a bbPress codex, so it could be documented more.
Thanks for the answer, Matt.
I cant get it to work. What do I put for the settings?
Thanks for stopping by Matt.
A few people have reached out to me and I just wanted to let everyone know that bbPress is still an important project for the WP community. (It powers our forums and plugin directory, for one thing!) It’s not going away.
Strategically the most important thing we need to figure out is how to integrate bbPress better with WP more for people who want that — right now it’s easier to use one of the WP plugins for forums than bbPress.
As to where bbPress goes in the future, I’d be curious to hear who wants to help with that. The world is our oyster.
Are you using the Allow Images plugin, or allowing images some other way?
There was a recent thread about this exact problem but I can’t find it offhand.
UPDATE: Never mind, it was you posting the same problem:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/tinymce-and-allow-images-installed-but-images-doesnt-work#post-59771
I’m having a problem with bbpress 1.01 and tinyMCE, when I post an image I find a ‘br’ (linebreak) inside the image’s ‘alt’ value. Same thing with a link…I find a ‘br’ inside the ‘href’ value..
Anyone experiencing the same problem?
Can I do this and keep all the existing topics and posts from my current bbPress install?
@johnhiler – Yes man, everyone leaving. Sam’s post is about “1 month old”. How many plugins are updated last month?
I wrote Matt some hours ago …
I really hope bbpress will thrive from this transition! Go Bbpress! 
Marius – Everyone’s leaving? One person has left… the lead developer, Sam. And he worked crazy hard to get version 1.0 out the door (you can see all his code checkins on Trac).
bbPress is definitely in a state of transition now. I’ll reach out to Automattic and see if we can’t get some clarification on where things are. If they’re not going to actively develop the platform, we can fairly easily fork the code since it’s open source…
Here I was thinking BBPress was a new forum just joining the battle of the forums. Now I find out everyones leaving, slacking off and not priorotizing it.
I bypassed the activation email requirement for the first post (the one made with the plugin), so the post is added immediately and the registration can be taken of later. Other option is to use an anonymous posting plugin. I’ll be around to do support possibly, and that’s the case with most plugins for bbPress, try looking at how many are abandoned… otherwise, pay someone for support, that’s the only real way to ensure it’s there.
If your concept of the site depends on this plugin, you may want to consider hiring a developer (like Kawauso!) to build and test it for you…
Regarding waiting for the password over email – you can address that with this plugin! I use it on all my sites and can vouch for it:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/instant-password/
This may also simplify the registration process… I haven’t used this one yet though:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/openid/
Good luck!
1. If your website is in public_html, then I would put the folder inside that folder, so you would have this:
/public_html/bbpress/
or
/public_html/forums/
or
/public_html/discussions/
When you unzip bbPress, it will create a folder called bbpress. Rename that folder to whatever you want before you upload it.
Uncompress it on your desktop, then rename it, then upload the whole thing to public_html.
4. Well, if /public_html resolves to your domain at http://www.example.com/ and you renamed your bbpress folder to discussions, you would visit http://www.example.com/discussions/ and start the installation.
If you want a link to the forum in your WordPress menu, you will need to create a Page with a slug that is identical to your folder name. So, if you called your folder discussions, create a Page called Discussions with a slug of discussions and if you’re using permalinks in WordPress, that menu item will serve up the bbPress installation.
There are also plugins that will allow you to redirect a page to another URL. You might need to do something like that.
Custom Field Redirect: http://www.nathanrice.net/plugins/
Page Links To: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/page-links-to/
There are ways to do it in a page template as well, but you might not need any of that. Create a page with the slug named the same as your forum folder, and it should ‘just work’.
I have two noob questions re: the installation instructions here: http://bbpress.org/documentation/installation/
> 2. Upload the uncompressed files to your server
Where on the server? Do I upload the files to /public_html? to /public_html/wp-admin? etc.
I’ve read elsewhere that you should upload the uncompressed *folder* (i.e., “bbpress”) and its files. But the #2 says to upload the files? Which is it? I’ve also read elsewhere that you might want to rename the folder “bbpress” to something like “forum,” because this will determine the URL to your forum. Is that still the case? The author’s instructions don’t mention this, but it seems important.
> 4. Visit the intended URL of the bbPress site
How do I create the intended URL? Do I need to create a new WordPress page and call it something like “Forum”?
