The only thing that this widget does is display links for the forum when you're using the forum. If you look to the right of this page the section isn't there because we're in the blog part right now. But if you click on the forum link you'll see the forum section. What I did was add require_once('/path/to/wordpress/wp-blog-header.php); to the bb-config.php file so that the blog page functions were available to my bbPress theme. Then, just have the header and footer templates for bbPress call the WordPress template functions. You have to merge the themes a little, which is more than this widget was designed to do.

I downloaded your widget and activated it but nothing happened. What steps did you take (or website tutorial) in order to get the matched Header/Sidebar from your blog. I want my forum to look like yours ('inside' the site) - is this possible simply with your widget plugin? Thanks! I love how your forum is ‘inside’ your website.

From within the blog it won't do anything. It only displays when you're in the forum, and your forum theme has to include the wp-blog-header.php file and use the sidebar widget functions.
