I need a quick, overview of how to install a WP blog with a BBPress forum on the same domain.

I found a couple of tutorials on how to do this with the legacy stand alone version of BBPress and have considered just installing the legacy version but am hoping there’s a way with the newer plugin version.

What I want to do:

(1) Run WordPress from the root directory and use it as the site blog

(2) Run a forum in a subfolder ‘/forum’ (I assume this will require a second installation of WP with BBPress plugin?)

(3) Both the forum and blog should have integrated registrations/login so if you join or log into one, you’re automatically a member of or logged into the other.

(4) Both the forum and blog should be able to share a theme or at least be able to install the same theme on both installations for website consistency.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Install bbPress 2.0.2 (the plugin) – it will do all of this out of the box

Thank you, I’ve got a lot of tweaking to do but It does work out of the box.
