Should I install bbpress in the same directory as wordpress (I’m planning to integrate them somewhat). Or does it matter at all?

Don’t install it in the same directory – Try WORDPRESS DIRECTORY/forums.

Nightgunner5 is right – you shouldn’t install them in the same directory. You have two real options if you’re using the same server for both:

1) install the blog in the root and the forum in a subfolders

2) install them both in separate subfolders

There’s a good explanation on why this all matters here:

Personally, I use a separate subdomain for each bbpress install… so I guess that’s yet another option.

Good luck!
