I’m looking for a solution to my problem, and not sure if this could be it.

At the moment I have my website on WordPress and I’ve been needing a forum board for users. But I’ve had to have it so you have a account with proboards and a seperate account with WordPress for the main website.

I want it so you have one account for both of them. While being able to comment on the boards and contribute on the main website.

will bbPress allow me to do this? If not, what will?

Thanks in advance

Quick answer as I’m here at the moment Andy. Yes, you can have both running at the same time, and integrated to use the same user log-in details as far as I can tell (I just use bbPress stand-alone, having no use for WordPress at the moment).

Have a read through the forum sections; there are tons of questions and answers under ‘integration’.

Yes, you can integrate your user databases and then cookie integrate.

Two questions:

* Do you want to combine your two user account systems? If so, how will you handle it when two accounts have the same name in each system?

* What version of WordPress are you using?
