   My site has three parts: a main site, a blog that uses WP, and a forum that uses bbpress. I need to replace the CMS on the main site, and since I already use WP for the other two parts, I figure to minimize bugs I should use WP as the CMS on the main site. However, all the tutorials I've seen for installing WP as a CMS do not involve integrating it with a blog or bbpress.

   Do I have to download and install WP again as a CMS? How do I make all three parts work together? Also stickifying the situation is that there are shared components across the three parts (a common login and theme, etc.).

   Any guidance would be appreciated.

   Why not just use Pages (as opposed to Posts) on your current install as your CMS?

   Well, for one thing, when I create a new page in WP, the default URL is /blog/new-page. I don't want the blog name to show up in the URL for pages on the main site.

   Also, WP makes me attribute an author to each page. While that's fine for the blog, I don't want to do that for pages on the main site.
