@McKrazie – I just removed the bbPress registration stuff and require my users to register through my WordPress (MU) installation, although I’m actually running its registration through a totally customized process as well.

If you set up your cookies in bbP and WPMU properly, then users should only have to log in once (as long as it’s all on the same domain/subdomain) – see here for how i did it https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wpmu-integrated-installation#post-14346
HTH
@talbina – Automattic just hired the developer of BuddyPress (www.buddtpress.com), which is basically what you’re asking for, minus bbPress. So they are thinking somewhere along the lines of what you’re saying 
Needless to say it’s not much of a leap to take what comes of BuddyPress (a solid social networking core) and integrate that with bbPress to add the forums element (assuming BuddyPress doesn’t move in that direction itself, which is quite possible).
@jel3: it’s possible on different *sub*domains, but not on entirely different domains (transparently, as you said).

I have personalised my bbpress forum and want to add a link on the page to allow the user to edit their profile (I have removed the original, “Welcome….” section at the top)
What do I need to link to for the page to redirect the user to their profile?
I guess I’ll have to set up the wordpress login to redirect to the bbpress login page sending over the user info and then loging them into bbpress and redirecting them back to where they started.
But that seems like a lot of goings ons for a simple login. Any ideas on how I could simplify that at all?
Another thought would be to create a plugin to check for the wordpress cookie and then if present set the bbpress cookies.
The problem is that WordPress and BBpress both use cookies for login.
Since your browser will only send the cookie for the domain that it was set on, it’s not going to work automatically.
You could use the same login database, of course. It’s just not going to be transparent.
Is this possible? I’ve tried every configuration I can think of and it’s just not working. Am i just missing something simple or is it not possible?
you meant the “anti-corporate image”? that’s what i really like.

Everything goes through without an error.
I’ve heard several people telling that bbPress wouldn’t be updated anymore, because of a new system that is coming soon.
Those people are grossly misinformed.
By the way, WordPress 2.5 has been delayed a bit due to illness. We’ll release bbPress when WordPress 2.5 comes out (I’m trying to find out a more exact time now).
I you are the administrator of the pig2twig forum, I suggest you contact the web host, which appears to be 1&1 Internet. If you are a user of the pig2twig forum, I suggest you contact the administrator of that forum. Since the site is down, I have no idea how to contact that person or who that is although it appears the domain is registered to Penguin Books?
Registrant:
Penguin Books Ltd
Registrant’s address:
80 Strand
London
WC2R 0RL
GB
The bottom line is, it’s not the bbPress software causing the problem. The whole site is down, as are other domains on the same IP address. The problem lies there, not with bbPress.
I’m trying to delete some posts. When I hit “delete” the post turns red. When I refresh the forum, I find that the posts are still there. They do not show up in the Admin panel of Deleted posts. I was able to delete before… the last one was about a week ago. I haven’t done anything to the forum since then. The last change I made was adding the Report Post plugin, but that was BEFORE I deleted my last post (2/25/08).
I’m running the latest released version of bbPress, which is integrated with WP 2.3.
Here are the plugins that I am currently running in bbPress:
Use Display Name 0.7.2
BBCode for bbPress 0.1
Quote 0.2
Show Post Count .73a
Page Links 1.0.3
Indicate New Posts 0.8
Simple Onlinelist 1.5
Move It 0.14
Censor 0.1
Page >> 0.7
Unread Topics 0.4
Comment Quicktags for bbPress 1.1
bbPress Polls 0.27
bbEmoticons 0.72
Enhanced Registration 0.1.0.1
Report Post 0.12
bb-benchmark 0.17
Good to see that bbPress stil gets updated. I’ve heard several people telling that bbPress wouldn’t be updated anymore, because of a new system that is coming soon.
Decided to make a customized version or post-form.php as a template file that lives in the root folder, adding get_header & get_footer and passing the forum id as a GET var from wherever it’s linked from, which does the trick for me in the context of how our forums are designed. So you can just call it as yoursite.tld/your-bbpress-dir/post-form/?forum_id =n
I’m sure there’s other ways of going about something like this, but this works for me.
Hello,
I am trying to install the newest editions of both WordPress and bbPress onto the same site as of March 10, 2008. The desired URLs for both are:
WordPress: http://www.hooligans-gaming.net
bbPress: http://www.hooligans-gaming.net/forums
I have both running from the same database and thats all setup good. However, I have a few questions:
1) I want a single registration page. Meaning that I want a visitor to the site to click on either the forums Register link or even the front page Register link and be brought to the same page and have both WordPress and bbPress share the same user table … how can this be done?
2)Secondly, I want my registered users to be able to sign in at the front page OR on the forums and be logged in until they timeout or logout… how can this be done?
3)With those two steps, my final request is how can I fully integrate my WordPress and bbPress? I plan to use the WordPress install for front page news and website content and my bbPress to be (you guessed it) my forums. As far as features is concerned, I would just want to display the top 10 most recent threads on the front page as well as another widget I have planned for a different feature that wouldn’t affect the forums so I’ll leave that one along for now.

I have no problem editting files if I need to. I’m no pro but I have enough knowledge to get me by.
Thank you in advance!

i found this error on installing bbpress on my server.
pls help me to clear it
How would one integrate them if they were on different domains?
Like say wordpress is at http://www.mydomain.com and bbpress is at forum.seconddomain.com
it seems that all the integration instructions out there only work if bbpress is within the same root domain as wordpress.
I am with you horrorshow.
I use WPMU a lot, but the support on plugins and documentation is far from enough. There seems no official support except the core of WPMU.
In the past few releases, donncha would merge the equivalent WPMU version after the single version was out for several days.
Use it http://www.onetouchinnovation.com/scripting/extending-bbpress-private-forums , is so easy , but don’t turn on “Hide Private Forums and Topics” cause it have a lot of bugs , don’t use too “add users” or “restrict registration” plugin cause it will reset you private forums , if you need add users from admin panel use integration with worddpress and you will don’t have any problem
sorry for my bad english
sambauers,
Will there be a new release of WordPress MU as well?
I am not complaining, but I sometimes feel like WPMU is the ugly stepchild in that there is always extra hurdles to get things working with other software. 
Don’t get me wrong, I love WPMU since it allows me to create a blog community and do some really cool things. keep up the good work!
If you can wait a couple of days, WordPress/bbPress integration is a lot easier with a combination of WordPress version 2.5 and bbPress version 0.9
By the way, I didn’t install any plugin for integration on either side
horrorshow,
Thanks for the detailed instructions. After,
1. modifying the config.php as you stated above
2. modifying bb_cookie() by not sending the time to setcookie()
I am able to login and logout on either side, in any sequence.
One more thing that I have notified (even not serious, but worth mentioning), is that if
1. login on either side
2. logout on WPMU
3. visit bbPress, the first time will show up the user is still logged in
4. refresh the page, or visit any page, it shows the user NO LONGER logged in
I guess there may be some logic missing in bbPress for checking the existence of cookie and clear the session, on the first attempt.
Sorry for misleading.
I mean I got a similar case as you do, thus case 2
and thanks for the link.
