Hi, I have an existing wordpress blog and I would like to have bbPress integrated with it. Meaning, I would like to install the bbPress plugin and it not effect my current them. I would like to just link to the forum where my existing users can user their already made usernames and passwords on the forum. When I install this plugin, will it make a new page or will it over-ride my current front page?

I’m a bit confused and I’m not wanting to mess anything up, but I would really like to integrate a forum for my members. Thanks.

Also, will my current sidebar and header still be used/integrated with this?

It will not override your front page. It will add new pages. When you install it, you can check the Forum Settings page to see the slugs for the pages it will add, and change them as necessary.
