with wp 2.7 which version of bbpress i should use ?
How you can do for registration ? Have you disable wp or bbpress registration ?
Your layout is already very much like a standard forum structure. You have a header and a footer and a content area on the left.
Simply build a bbPress theme that is identical to your website by taking apart your current page structure and putting it into the appropriate templates and make a path to /forums/ or whatever you want to call it.
Or you could go for full/complex integration but it will double your page creation time.
There is currently no IntenseDebate functionality in bbPress, and although I have discussed the idea of an IntenseDebate Plugin with them, there are no immediate plans to do it.
Been really excited about BBpress 1 and was planning on incorporating it into my WordPress site when it finished Alpha testing.
Anyone have any clue how IntenseDebate (via WordPress plugin) interacts with BBpress 1? Anyone have problems?
Obviously with Automatic behind both I’m sure its only a matter of time before BBpress, IntenseDebate and WordPress go together like Peanut butter, Jelly, and bread.
The changes you made might not have been major, but one of them is apparently critical. I would compare one template file, between the original and your modified version, and see what’s different.
Also, what version bbPress are you using, and is in integrated with a version of WordPress? Do you have any plugins installed that could be causing this?
The easiest way now would be to look at the bbPress-live plugin at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-live/ and use the new xmlrpc functionality to pull the information in. Just create a new WP page template file to use for a new WP Page. There is more documentation on the plugin page, but kicker is that it requires 1.0 alpha 4 at minimum. As for including bbPress as a WP page, I don’t think I have ever came across instructions that work…..
There’s no simple way to do what you are asking. bbPress is not a plugin for WordPress, it’s a standalone forum. You can find themes for WordPress and bbPress that are similar, but in most cases, if you have a custom WordPress theme, you will probably have to customize a theme for bbPress to match it.
You might want to browse the integration tag at this forum:
https://bbpress.org/forums/tags/integration
And you can also see some bbPress themes here:

Looks to me like you’re using the Revolution Lifestyle theme. Brian Gardner recently mentioned making a bbPress theme in 2009, and I thought there was a revolution theme for bbPress as well (maybe not lifestyle, but there was one.)
Ah, Revolution Magazine:

I thought it would be nice to intergrate a forum into my website, but i want it inside the website, like a page..
Like: http://wordpress.org/support/
Now my forum opens in a new page and my wordpress layout is nowwhere to be found..
How can i intergrate it into my website?

Thanks in advance,
I created a theme so the Forum looks integrated with the rest of the site, but now the Reply link does not work and the Reply box does not show up. I’m not sure how to fix it. When I change it back to the default theme, everything works fine. I didn’t make any major changes to the files, but maybe I deleted something? If anyone can help me figure out how to fix this I would appreciate it!
Here is the forum: http://www.fallforthebook.org/bbpress
And here is an example of the issue: http://fallforthebook.org/bbpress/topic.php?id=2
Ah ok, didn’t realize you wanted something to search both WordPress and bbPress. I don’t know if any plugins natively support that – I need to do something similar on my site, but use Google’s custom search engine to pull it off:

Thanks for the links, Chris. As bad as the search is in BBPress, it’s still better than phpBB2 (which I’m migrating from). 
And John, I saw the Super Search, but didn’t want to use it since it’s in super-alpha mode and I need something that will also search WP posts, and it doesn’t seem like that plugin does that. At least not yet. So for now I’m using the WP search plugin: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/wp-search/
Just wondered if there was any way to get Tags/Titles in the existing forum search. Hrm.
Sorry i forgot to say that, it have always worked with 0.9.0.3 right out of the box but none of the 1.0 Alpha versions works for me, its a standard installation, the 1.0 alpha 4 is a fresh installation, doesnt use the old tables from 0.9.0.3, bbpress is installed after wordpress and they share the same usertable.
I think you pick an English .pot file from here (depending on your version) then you translate it into your language and save the mo file.

@chrishajer I am using Windows Vista with Wamp (Apache 2.2.11, PHP 5..2.8, MySQL 5.1.30)., running on my own server at home.
I am using name based virtual hosts in apache, it seems to be setup correctly because everything else is working ok.
I´ve notised that the cookie domain in php.ini is undefined, do i have to add an value to that?
When logging into WP and BBP each on is own i get 8 cookies, it that the number i should get?
@JesperA – what type of hosting setup are you using? PHP, MySQL, Apache versions, Windows/OSX/Linux, etc. There is something weird on some setups, for sure.
If you want bbPress users but not blog users, why integrate? Without integration, wouldn’t people be able to register at bbPress but get nothing at the blog?
I´ve done everything in my power to integrate BBpress with WP 2.7 but i wont do it, every cookie salt, cookie key, EVERYTHING in both setting files is the same and still it behaves as 2 completely different installation, this is really weard.
I know how to add the link, using date and name(under permalinks) to link the forums, but still it goes to the forums, I want it to display in my main page.
I will pay an expert to help me with this, I need my date and names to work correctly and my forums to display when I click the tab, and the rest of the site still viewable, I would like it very similar to bbpress forums just different colors.
Message me here or phiktion@gmail.com
A kind of hackish, but simple way:
Log into your MySQL database with php_myadmin, go to the <db-prefix>_users table, go to Browse view, and simply select each user you want to delete with a checkbox, then press the X at the bottom of the screen. phpmyadmin lists the username, real name, id, and so on of the user, so that you can quickly delete by names.
NOTE: Of course, only do this if you know what you’re doing. Using phpmyadmin, you can do anything from change one letter of someone’s username to trash your entire installation. Do not use this tool if you’re a noob. 
Also, this only works if the user accounts do not have any posts associated with them. If they do, this may cause very unpredictable behavior. Before doing this, delete all the posts associated with the user accounts from bbPress, or by deleting posts from the bb_posts table. Then, you can safely delete the users using the steps above.
Greetings.
Although the option “Anyone can register” is disabled in my WordPress Admin Panel, anyone… can register on bbPress (so my blog is forced to accept new registrations). Why ?
I have just installed WordPress 2.7 with bbPress 1.0 Alpha 4, following the sambauers’s basic integration video.
Thanks.
I followed the tutorial for integration and everything is setup fine, http://domebusters.com/forums
I would like the forums to be a link after about on the homepage http://domebusters.com
I’ve googled, and searched these threads but I don’t want to mess up my install doing anything more.
It seems everyone has it integrated to load into there main page so maybe I am missing something.
Anyone help?

Last time that happened to me, it was “plugins go wild” and there were ridiculous amounts of extra entries in my meta tables in the DB. I have also seen this with bad plugins in general for whatever reason. It could also come from a bad plugin on the WP side of things if you have integration. First place I would check would be the user and site meta tables for both bbPress and WP. As well, try disabling plugins to see if that works.

Personally have never tried to get the userbase from bbPress into WP or WPMU, so not sure how that process would go. With integration, the users are pulled from the wp_users instead of the bb_users and the same for the user meta files. Your understanding is correct, but as for the process of getting those bbPress users in, not sure.
