Well, I managed to fix another problem which was cookie sharing was not working. It is now, after manually editing bb-config.php. There is a line for the NONCE_KEY which was not asked for in guided web setup… so I copied my NONCE_KEY from wp-config.php. I also noticed that the guided setup asked for the salt values but there were no corresponding define() lines for salts in bb-config so I added those in the same style as in wp-config, with a BB_ prefix to the variable names… one or the other or both of those changes fixed cookie integration for me.
Meanwhile, the administration link is still broken. I have no user role map or anything other than theme changes, and the fact that the text is not styled at all seems weird. (still looks the same as the screenshot linked above) But I have no previous bbpress experience to base this on so I don’t know how badly broken it is.
I may have to end up adding subforums right into the bbpress tables through phpmyadmin… bleh
