That should work just fine. What you want to do can be done and should be done in the stylesheet, not with a modification to the bbPress core. Did you try in a different browser to make sure your old stylesheet was not cached or something? Can you post the URL so people can check it out?
I banged my head on this issue over two clean installs. Then Gerikg suggested that you need to make sure your URL in bbPress doesn’t include the ‘www’. Check that in your General settings.
Please where Can I find : auth_salt and secure_auth_salt, Still stuck at the 2nd installation steps. Trying to integrate wordpress and bbpress
I formerly had login integration working between wordpress and bbpress, but it stopped when I upgraded to bppress 1.0. For wordpress I’m on version 2.8.3. Perhaps i did something incorrectly. These keys are not present in the bb-config.php file.
BB_AUTH_KEY
BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY
BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY
BB_NONCE_KEY
I added them to the bb-config.php file from the wp-config file. All the salt keys match the ones in wordpress, and I checked the meta table in the db to be sure.
i added the following line to wp-config and bb-config
define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/lhw/’ );
Is it possible that bbpress wasn’t installed correctly to use the new security features? Any suggestions?
Having the same issues here, saw the plugin on wpmu-enable-bbpree-capabilities but I would wait a little until some one more experienced here would say something.
Basically the issue is that after installation and synch between bbpress and wordpress I see that the new users (except admin) have their roles assigned to Inactive.
Any help please ?
The plan for a second there was to run the codex from the BuddyPress.org site (which is WPMU). It didn’t pan out for some technical reasons, but the domain is still mapped there.
Thanks for your gratitude, I have indeed left Automattic. I decided it was time to move on and pursue some of my own ideas and other interests.
I won’t have much time to contribute to bbPress now and I can’t report who is going to be taking over from me or if anyone is even being sought for the role.
It has been great being so involved in this project and I appreciate all the help that people have given in peer support on these forums and with the code itself.
@chrishajer I believe I found originally that including only wp-load.php did not register the actions and filters in WordPress and I wanted to keep those for our specific installation. But generally speaking, it would carry quite a bit less load 
@AphelionZ I am very glad you solved the problem, congratulations!
Development tends to go in bursts as described here:

Sam was working insanely hard before 1.0 came out, so not at all surprised that he’s taking a break!
But definitely wanted to express thanks, if Sam has indeed moved on…
Hi everyone,
I’m seriously considering dropping FluxBB (that i’m currently using for a large messageboard) and using BBPress.
I would stop using FLuxBB for various reasons (mostly because i feel like FluxBB isn’t really alive anymore development-wise and also because i’ve been using wordpress for many many years and really digg the WP/BBpress community & coding) but… i was wondering is BBPress would do the job for a large messageboard with many users and connections everyday ?
I’ve tested BBPress many times, installed the latest version again yesterday for a test run and tested many plugins, tried customizing themes to see if it would fit my needs etc. and it looks sweet but there’s one thing i can’t tell: would BBPress work fine with many users ? Would it be just as good and even better than FluxBB once i’ve installed the plugins needed and export everything from FluxBB to BBPress ?
Do any of you use BBPress with hundreds of users on a daily basis ? It is running smoothly ? Is it responsive and fast ? It is made to work with huge amount of users and connections ?
Thanx for your feedback. I’d really appreciate any experience you have / had.
Can I get help with that? Can I get the code for the sidebar.php file in bbPress and anything else that goes with it? Will the WP sidebar code work?
Thanks.
When I try that I keep getting an error message that says “could not establish a database connection”.
Thanks.
So what I did to patch this was comment out the BPDB function on line 140 of /html-root/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bp-forums-bbpress.php
Not ideal, I know – but it allowed me to keep working. Here’s the paste. http://pastebin.ca/1574452
I’m open to suggestions
I know there are many topics out there dealing with this, but there doesn’t seem to be a set way of doing it. Right now, I have…
require('/home/jwrbloom/public_html/wp-load.php');
…in my bbconfig.php file. I have changed all of the bb_get_header to get_header in my bbPress theme, and I have done the same with my footer. What isn’t carrying over is my site’s navigation. I’m using the Hybrid News theme for WP and kakumei for bbPress.
I’d like to have full or most of my WP functionality for my bbPress, but at this point, other than maybe adding some widgets to a sidebar, I’m not sure what my plan is there. I definitely need all of my header information.
So, upon closer inspection its a buddypress + backpress compatibilty issue – they both use $bpdb as their database abstraction class… hmmm…
I too will be saddened if Sam, indeed, has moved on.
Looking more and more like things are at a standstill:

Ok, so I was mistaken – its a 200 response with either wp-load or wp-blog-header and the fatal error from the logs is:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class BPDB in /Users/mrh/Sites/irrational.dev/community/bb-includes/backpress/class.bpdb.php on line 39
would be the best way to take the default WP theme -> and add the BBpress needed functions into it? (and add a few files from the BBpress needed theme) ?
This is the only bad thing about Wp and BBp integration isn’t as smooth as it should be, and the DEV should have had Wp / BBp compatibility #1 .. At the moment they depend to much on community work.
There is no sidebar.php in bbPress. You need to create that PHP file and then include it.
One thing I question but suspect is not related to this problem is: shouldn’t you be including wp-load.php instead of wp-blog-header.php?
First pass at a fix for “deep” integration in trunk
You can search these forums for both wp-load.php and wp-blog-header.php to see which one should be included.
But, you’re only getting a 404 in the Apache error logs? What page is being logged as a 404?
Do you have access to PHP error logs? The blank screen is probably a 500 error, so looking at PHP errors will allow you to see what’s causing that.
You just answer that yourself – CSS
The most effective way is to match the xhtml markup and the css both on WP theme & bbPress
You said ‘change the database name’ – did you create another database to install bbPress into? There’s no need for that, but I am curious if that’s what you did.
It’s a pretty simple error – one of your connection details is incorrect. Maybe you need another set of eyes to look at it. Or, if it’s a local install, maybe you can look at MySQL errors to see what’s being logged.
Slap /bb-admin to the end of your forum URL.
