“why to integrate at all?”
I think I explained it:
1. so you can make the two look similar by using WordPress functions
2. so your users can log in once and be logged in in both places
Other than that, I don’t see a benefit either, and certainly not enough benefit to jump through all the hoops that are required to get it working.
I’m strongly against deep integration. It slows down bbPress and WordPress, and most of the time (especially with bb1.0) it will create errors. If you integrate using the built-in integration settings, you’ll be able to share logins and user accounts between bbPress and WordPress. For me, it’s no integration (for example, forums that aren’t tied to a specific blog) or normal integration (for forums that are).
I was thinking that integrating bbPress with WP, doesn’t let you benefit from most WP plugins, why to integrate at all?
Integrating does not help WordPress plugins work on bbPress. If that’s all you’re looking for, you probably don’t need integration. If you’d like to ensure that WordPress plugins work in your forum, maybe you want a forum plugin for WordPress, not bbPress.
Hi all,
is there a greek version of bbPress available now, or do I have to follow the above procedure?
Thanks

I figured out that this error only pops up when CK’s BBPress Polls plugin is activated?
Does anyone out there know how to figure out which part of the plugin to alter to keep these two plugins working in harmony?
To clarify… the error pops up when I click NEW PM using the BBPM plugin from NightGunner but only when BBPress Polls is activated.
Had to add an extra rule to make this work for continuation pages of the front page:
“^/page/([0-9]+)/?$” => “/?page=$1”,
There appears to be an issue still, within BBpress 1.02 this time: when on a continuation page, the link for “Page 1” does not include a “1” but the number of the current page – so the link does nothing and does not return to the home page.
There are some WP plugins which should work without any changes, those are the plugins which do not interact with the actual content, like google analitycs or super cache. Plugins which need the interaction will probably not work, or at least not as expected, but if you are willing to do some coding, in the long run it might be easier to adapt an existing WP plugin to be used with BB than to support two different plugins, one for each platform.
tried it and it doesn’t work……..
I am praying you are right. This feature is extremely important!
Since Sam stepped down as bbPress lead a short while ago, we haven’t heard who will be replacing him (or how many resources Automattic will devote to the product). Hopefully we’ll get an update sooner rather than later!
Do we have an updated status on bbPress Channels yet?
The reason for me asking this question, is the gazillion topics in this forum about integrating WP with bbpress. A lot of users have problems doing it. I tried it as well on my localhost, and couldn’t get it to work. I was also thinking what is the greatest benefit, so that’s why I asked.
I was wondering, if you integrate WP with bbpress, does that mean that plugins that work on bbpress will also work on bbPress?
Like, WP has this very cool, SEO for all plugin, you can edit page title, description etc. will this plugin work for bbPress topics?
If WP plugins don’t work for bbPress, then I really don’t see any great benefit for going through all that trouble of integrating…

For normal site-users it can be nice, that they’re logged in at WordPress if the’re registered and logged in at bbPress. The WP comment form is simpler for the logged-in-users, they don’t have to type their name, mail adress and homepage. If you configure your WordPress in a way which requires registration of commenters, there is an additional benefit for administration. There are always some hand-registered SEO-spammers, and it makes you less work if you have only one user database. The mapping of WP user roles to user roles in bbPress may save some work too.
For most installations, the integration isn’t needed. Always remember that the bbPress installation with integration is significantly more complicated than a normal bbPress installation and may lead you to incompatibility issues with future WP releases. Think about it before doing. I love it, but it is a little hard sometimes…
I browse the bbpress forums from time to time. In the dark cold winter I hope to work through a few books and try them out.
If you’re looking for support for a lot of bbPress plugins, your best best is usually to stay on the 0.9 branch. 1.0 won’t have a lot of plugins supported for months, if at all…
Many people want integration so that your users can log in to either bbPress or WordPress and not have to log in again when they switch from blog to forum, or forum to blog.
Others want ‘deep integration’ so they can use WordPress functions (like get_sidebar, get_footer and get_header) in their bbPress installation. Sometimes they want deep integration to make the two themes look similar or identical. Sometimes they want to be able to pull WordPress information into bbPress or vice-versa.
I integrated a forum with a blog one time but I normally have no use for it. It’s not worth the trouble for me, and I don’t need integration of users or functions.
Yes. My dashboard looks like that. But I can’t see or activate new themes I’ve uploaded per the directions on the bbpress.org site. I can’t make color changes or change the look at all.
Can someone tell my why its a great thing to integrate these two?
