I have discovered that there is a very easy way to integrate a BBPress forum inside of a WordPress blog. I havent found anyone in the forums doing it in this way so I will explain it here.
1. Asumed that you have instaled wordpress and bbpress, and you have integrated bbpress with wordpress following the steps showed in bbpress installation process.
2. You have to go to the administration pannel in your wordpress (wp-admin)
3. Create a page named Forum. Chose HTML and include the following code:
<iframe id=”forum” name=”forum” src=”http://your_url/bbpress_folder” frameborder=”0″ framespacing=”0″ scrolling=”auto” border=”0″ style=”width:925px; height:1000px; ” >
Sorry, your browser doens’t support iframe. Please upgrade your browsers.
</iframe>
replace the bold characters for the apropiate values in your web. The number in bold is the with of your blog. In that case (I use primepress theme) it is 925
4. Now we only have to add the widget to show the page, or like in my case, the theme shows all the pages in the blog as options in the header. We only have to remove the header and the footer of the forum.
5. In your bbpress directory go to bbtemplates and make a copy of kakumei directory. You could call it noheader directory and open it.
6. Open header.php and replace this
<body id=”<?php bb_location(); ?>”>
<div id=”wrapper”>
<div id=”main”>
<div class=”search” align=”right”>
<?php search_form(); ?>
</div>
<?php if ( bb_is_profile() ) profile_menu(); ?>
with this
<body id=”<?php bb_location(); ?>”>
<div id=”wrapper”>
<div id=”main”>
<div class=”search” align=”right”>
<?php search_form(); ?>
</div>
<?php if ( bb_is_profile() ) profile_menu(); ?>
7. Open footer.php and delete this section
<div id=”footer” role=”contentinfo”>
<p><?php printf(__(‘%1$s is proudly powered by bbPress.’), bb_option(‘name’), “http://bbpress.org”) ?></p>
<!– If you like showing off the fact that your server rocks –>
<!– <p class=”showoff”>
<?php
global $bbdb;
printf(
__( ‘This page generated in %s seconds, using %d queries.’ ),
bb_number_format_i18n( bb_timer_stop(), 2 ),
bb_number_format_i18n( $bbdb->num_queries )
);
?>
</p> –>
</div>
<?php do_action(‘bb_foot’); ?>
8. Open style.css and delete this
#wrapper {
background: #fff url(‘images/page_header_tile.png’) repeat-x 0px -15px;
}
9. You can add the reference a bbpress.org in the wordpress footer.
Hope this help

This is the forum page:
I have been looking forward to the release of bbPress 1.0 since I thought that users at last would be able to use usernames with diacritic characters like my own name Göran. To my disappointment this is not so. I installed bbPress 1.0.1 and when trying to register as a user with the name Göran it was suggested (in Swedish) that I chose the name Gran instead.
Please suggest a solution! This is a major drawback for a simple and useful forum. It must concern a lot of forums with users that have names that not conform to English spelling.
I have raised this question with earlier versions of bbPress but never recieved any useful solution. I run a forum where I have to tell users that they cannot use their real names. Other Swedish forums do the same. Please help!

Topic: Installation madness o_O
Hi everyone,
I’ve successfully installed PHPBB3 forums, WordPress blogs etc etc… and somehow, I’m having a nightmare installing BBpress…
I’m not a coding/IT guru but I’m not a beginner either so this makes the thing even more frustrated. By wanting to make the installation process easy, the description lacks a lot of details I believe. Here’s what I have:
– Yahoo web hosting
– MySQL Server version: 4.1.14
– MySQL client version: 3.23.49
– phpMyAdmin latest version
Steps:
1. download bbpress
2. upload it to gufugumu.com/bbpress
3. go to the url gufugumu.com/bbpress -> installation window appears fine
4. Step1 – fill the information
– Database name : guillos
– Database user : admin
– Database password : *********
Then comes the famous error : “There was a problem connecting to the database you specified. Please check the settings, then try again.”
So I can’t pass step1. I then look in the forum but could not find anything usefull. One would expect that installing a forum should not require advanced PHP or MySQL knowledge. This is quite annoying.
Also, if I try to remove the “-sample” from the “bb-config-sample.php” then I get the error message “ERROR: Could not establish a database connection”. Finally, I have also created the database in phpMyAdmin. Of course there’s 0 tables.
Any help would be extremly nice as I’m about to give up and go for PHPBB3…
Thanks in advance
Dear All,

You might need to play with the bbPress CSS if there is a spacing issue above or below the bar. Hope this helps!

You have to create the DB before bbPress can connect to it. bbPress doesn’t make the DB for you (any more than WordPress does so this should be familiar).
