Hi I was to intergrate my forums with my wordpress but had an error at install…

Said i had wrong database prefix. wp_ which i know was right, then said unable to write to bb-config.php

Also want to make my forums look inbuilt to my wordpress on this page http://telltoyota.info/?page_id=7 instead of being all alone on telltoyota.info/bb

I can’t see anything on that page but I guess you want to run bbPress inside a WordPress page or just want a matching WordPress theme?

Integration can be done by following my tutorial – http://blog.ashfame.com/2009/07/integrate-bbpress-10-with-wordpress-28/

and my bbPress resource page is here – http://blog.ashfame.com/bbpress/ in case you need any other help with bbPress.

Don’t use the same table prefix for bbPress that you are using for WordPress. That will overwrite tables. Make sure the table prefixes are unique for bbPress and WordPress.

How can I get my bbpress theme to look the same as my actual wordpress site? and how do I make my page link stright to the forums?

[@ashfame Participant 15 years ago]

Create a blank page with the slug forums and it will automatically takes you to the forum on your site

Either you design a matching bbPress theme for WordPress or use deep integration which is quite an overhead if you have a good number of users.

Read this – http://blog.ashfame.com/2010/02/deep-integration-bbpress-wordpress/

and http://blog.ashfame.com/2010/02/bbpress-deep-integration-advantages-disadvantages/

And then decide what you want to do.
