This situation creates some inconveniences or oddities such as two login details for WordPress and forums, separate discussions for comments in WordPress and threads in forums, and different layout. To solve the problem above, it’s best to integrate the forums with the WordPress blog.

For webmasters who have choose bbPress package as Internet forums solution, the integration of bbPress forum to WordPress blog gets little easier with the release of bbSync. bbSync is a WordPress plugin that can make new bbPress forum topics or threads for each and every new WordPress posts, and integrates comments in WordPress with replies in the forum threads.

To replace comments in WordPress completely with forums, replace comments function in WordPress template with <?php felbbreplies(); ?> function. More information at plugin homepage.
