What you are looking for is pretty common, but there’s not a super easy way to do it without designing a bbPress template to look like your theme.
An alternative is to install a forum plugin for WordPress, instead of bbPress.
Someone else recently asked the same question:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpresscom#post-16331
How about a forum plugin for WordPress?
http://www.stuff.yellowswordfish.com/simplepress-forum/
http://www.xdweb.net/wordpress/xdforum2/ (old and probably dead)
http://www.fahlstad.se/wp-plugins/wp-forum/ (had some security issues, you should read to see if they’ve been taken care of)
I’ve never used any of them, I just know they exist for putting a forum on a WordPress page.
I would like my bbpress forum to show up on my wordpress blog page called “forum”. I also would like the forum to have the same look as my blog (at least the top of it). I have bbpress loaded in a subdirectory of WP called “forum”. I’m new to html coding and would love step by step instructions from anyone who is patient with new students 
Thanks
C’mon I can’t afford a server so I need some sort of bbpress online thing. To go with my wordpress. Cuz I only trust wordpress projects (auttomatic) things.
opps maybe i’m wrogn with the name.. not freshpress… well Matt told me about it during WordCamp Milan 2 weekends ago but not sure about the name… but i’m sure there was something about on automattic blog or bbpress blog…
Nikolay graciously offered to handle the bbPress pot generation as he does for WordPress. For the past several months, trunk has been automatically upgraded every day.
It seems as though branches and tags has fallen behind. I’ll ask him to see if there’s any bugs anywhere.
So when is fresh press coming? I saw a website called freshpress.com and it was a flower selling company.
Oh, sorry, I’m new to these forums, I joined 25 minutes ago.
Matt’s had already the idea.. it will be called freshpress… 
bbPress should star bbPress.com, so we could make a free forum online, instead of having to install the hard .org stuff. Example:
penguinworld.bbpress.com
Good idea, what do you think?

I know.. the same that i did… but on WP SVN tags are update and all is correctly structured, it’s true that there is Nicolay that care for I18N etc quite all the time, here peopel are.. “multitasking”
Arturo would you like to collaborate to the upcoming bbpress.it site that is going to start in the next months or so? If so, mail me.
i’ve downloaded the pot file for branches 0.9 and translated this file.
the trunk are update but this localization is for the latest bbpresss release.
i’ve tested with a 0.9.2 installation.
Addendum: The SVN for .pot file is poorly updated, actually there is not the 0.9.2 tag yet. and trunk get updated usually only in a month or less. On WP SVN the pot generatios is fully automatic adn during beta and RC it’s updated more than one time per day during busy day.
Would be nice having this on bbPress too, I usully sync it_IT WP trunk to dev trunk once per week having every time few strings to update/translate, thats’ much better than having hundreds strings like in the last 0.9.2
The SVN repository is already managed by the WP localization team that do the same fot bbpress, cause I’m the one that havs commit access and i was in hospital i want’s ablet o upload the updated version that will be revised soon and committed to SVN.
on entrans.wordpress-it.it (in futuro entrans.bbpress.it as iI said to Matt during Milan WordCamp there will be a collaborative translation for all the automattic products.
What versions of each are you running?
I’ll let mdawaffe know as he controls access to that SVN repository.
Hi guys. I’m developing a custom theme. I need to declare some PHP functions to serve some feature, which also use bbPress hook & filters.
Where is the best place to do this? I know in WordPress we can do this inside functions.php on our theme directory. What about bbPress? Is there similar place?
Thanks.
hi, i’ve translated the pot for bbPress 0.9 branche but i don’t know how send the translation in the svn of automattic.
so please, send me any feedback!
if anyone are interested to download the localization go to download page on my blog, this is the link:
Download bbPress in italian
thanks at all!
Please try contacting me again. I’m pretty much around all the time. Maybe it’s a problem with the timezone difference.
i’m looking for function reference page and lists of filters/actions for bbpress and couldn’t find it. For wordpress we have something like this:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
Is there anything like that for bbpress?
Thanks
Here let me see if I can try to explain this a little bit better
Here goes…I ran the installer up to this point…
Step 3 – Site settings
» Your site settings have been saved and we are now ready to complete the installation. So what are you waiting for?
and I got this error after I try to proceed to step 4
“Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.”
Then I went back one page and tried to complete step 3 and I got this…
“Step 3 – Site settings
« completed
Installation failed!
! The database failed to install. You may need to replace bbPress with a fresh copy and start again. “
These are the errors that I’ve gotten from the error log.
