@Andy
Okay, I finally found a thread that I think has the answer, so I am posting this just to check:
Over at the bbPress forums, it was suggested to add the code below to the beginning of the bb-config.php file:
if ( !defined( ‘ABSPATH’ ) ) {
include_once( ‘/Full/Path/To/wp-load.php’ );
}
I have added that per the instructions and also included the suggested code in the footer of my template. Still not getting anything in terms of a buddybar, but did not see any errors.
When I also added the header code in, I got this error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_head() in mysite.com/forums/bb-templates/bbpress-forum/header.php
Any ideas as to how to fix this?
So far, I’ve been able to integrate buddypress and bbPress.
My question involves this whole “deep integration” thing. I’ve scoured the forums on bbpress.org and mu.wordpress.org, but have not found anything that relates directly to running WPMU within bbpress.
Anyone know of a thread or have information on how to arrange this “deep integration?”
thx
@Andy
Thanks for this information. I do have integration between buddypress and bbPress, such that my users, group forums, and logins, work seamlessly between the two programs.
I have not been able to understand what deep integration means in terms of WPMU + Buddypress + bbPress, and I’ve even gone over to the bbpress.org and mu.wordpress.org forums. Mostly because the program versions are all so different and the forums are often 1-2 years old that I can’t really gauge what procedures I should follow for WPMU 2.7.1, BP 1.0, bbP 1.0 alpha 6.
If you could point me to a thread that discusses deep integration between these three versions (whatever is close enough), or a thread on how to load WPMU in bbPress, I would appreciate it. Then I can implement your instructions.
Thanks!
Make sure you have deep-integration set up inside your bbPress. Basically make sure WP is loaded.
You’ll need to add a call to the wp-footer action so the BuddyBar is loaded:
<?php wp_footer() ?>
Add that before the closing HTML tag in your bbPress template footer and the bar should show up.
You’ll also need to add a wp_head() call to inside the header of your template too, so that the CSS works:
<?php wp_head() ?>
Kogigr-
This thread has not seen activity for more than 4 months. It is doubtful you’ll get a response.
Here’s my guess at what he meant to say. He most likely made a typo. He probably meant to type “geek”. But, if you need to know, I suggest private messaging him.
I’m closing this thread as it is not relevant anymore.
You need to be using 1.0 alpha 6, Leadingminds.
Still the problems contnues with me. Im not getting dropdown user “admin”
@zenseeker What do you mean with “God I feel like a greek”?

Im working on three bbpress themes for original buddypress theme. Sorry my english suck!
Maybe you know how to fix my theme. The adminbar in my theme is showing but only a grey rectangle. So, these link just it\’s a example of my progress. But i\’m not programmer 
only entusiast!
@Renzokuomo
I’m not sure what you mean. I followed the link and it was a topic with only one entry and didn’t really have an answer.
I’m looking to add the bp-admin-bar the bbPress, so I need something that will cause bbpress to recognize buddypress so I can get the bar to show up. I have the php code; the problem is getting it to show.
I appreciate your help, though.
One more thing, make sure that you have pingbacks and XML-RPC check in bbpress.
PC Mike — what I would do is contact the folks at http://www.tmdhosting.com and ask them to do it for you, you’d need to move your hosting over to them, but they are the new found jewel for me. They’ve done 4 BP installs, complete with the BBPress installtion and they don’t charge you for it. I have someone else who might be able to help as well if that doesn’t work for you. Feel free to contact me and I’ll point you in the right direction.
Hi,
I have had the same problem for the last few days, using wpmu2.7.1, bp1.0, bb1a6, bbpress integration plugin and buddypress-enable.
The steps that seem to have solved the problem:
1. Delete all cookies.
2. Go to bbpress, register a new user. Log into bbpress as keymaster and give define that new users as admin.
3. Create a new forum in bbpress (any new forum).
4. Log into wpmu, go to forums setup and use the new user you just created.
5. Delete all cookies.
5. Log in, try starting a new group in wpmu.
I’m trying to pinpoint which of these steps did the trick to reuse it beyond my test installation.
Let me know whether it works for you as well, and if you figure out what the reason is.
Good luck
Thanks guys, I’ll have them together then, I don’t think I’ll ever reach enough traffic to kill any server.
I’m following the instructions for the new 1.0 release, however when get to the point where I save the config file in step one and then I click the button to take me to step two and it just sends me straight to the forum homepage and does not allow me to set up the integration?
I’ve tried to deleting the bb config file a few times now but the same thing keeps happening?
Any ideas why?
Ilya,
I’m working on a project where i must integrate WPMU, buddypress and bbpress all together.
http://terafriu.com/forum/ is the forum page. I have modified the kakumei theme that came with bbpress. Changing the header and footer will go a long way. But it ultimatly depends on what you are trying to acheive. For the time being you’ll either have to create/modify your own.
Keep in mind that Buddypress is a fairly new application and we should be gratefull to get such an application for free! When the important stuff like bug fixes etc are resolved we will see tons of themes, just like WordPress.
This is a wpmu/bbpress integration issue not a bp issue as far as I can tell. Since this is not a bp support issue, marking the thread as such.

Test!!! Can’t start a new topic. bbpress say no user! No reply
I removed 0.9 Brubeck and replaced it with 1.0 alpha 6, and it all seems to be working fine now…I guess I need to live on the edge a bit more…
Thanks
Ian
Ya BBPress makes u mess with cookies and I didn’t like it. I have a hard time to make it work, but removing BBPress, the BuddyPress is still working fine. BBPress is only a module, and so it shouldn’t affect the whole BuddyPress.
If you don’t want to believe me, that’s okay, but that doesn’t make me any less right. 
Download
bbPress .9 may integrate with BuddyPress 1.0, but it isn’t the recommended version and it will be more difficult to make them work nicely together.
No its latest Version 0.9.0.4
Should be using bbPress 1.0 alpha 6.
Dantes, if you view the forum via the groups page, then yes it will show up integrated into the BuddyPress group area. Otherwise, bbPress is its own application with its own plugins and theme files. You would need to create a theme to mimic the style of the rest of your website.
