require_once(‘../../wp-blog-header.php’); …With that I get no non-admin pages**.

WP 2.3.2, bbPress 0.8.3.1, both are very fresh, no hacks etc.

WP is at http://dencx/wp, bbPress is at http://dencx/wp/forum/. I’m developing locally, as you can see by the url’s.

$bb->uri = ‘http://dencx/wp/forum/’;

Well yeah, when you’re in /wp-admin/ you’re one folder deeper than when you’re in the forum root. Use absolute not relative paths and you’ll be fine.

Duh. Thanks fel. But I could have sworn relative pathing worked before for that require…

Anyway, I knew it was going to be something stupid while I was writing the above post. The weirder the problem, the stupider the mistake.
