BuddyPress

I’m new to BuddyPress and am having trouble figuring out two things:

1. I can see that there’s a page set up for my forums and I can create a widget to connect to them, but for some reason, the page link for the Forums doesn’t appear in the menu with the rest of my page tabs, even though it says that the page is published.

2. I can’t figure out how to enable the mulitisite blogging. I’ve been looking through the support forums for answers, but can’t seem to find anything. Do I need to add a plug-in? Or is this a built in option I am somehow overlooking?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Ok, I figured out some of it on my own. If anyone else runs into trouble setting up the multisite blogging (i.e. creating a network), the answer is that you need to set up the network on Wordpress first, then set up BuddyPress. Here’s a link to the WP instructions: http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network

As for why my forums tab isn’t appearing, I still haven’t solved that one. If anyone has suggestions, I’d appreciate it.

Which forums – the forums for groups or sitewide forums?

Did you enable discussion forums in BuddyPress?http://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/

Have you installed forums properly? http://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/

I had sitewide forums set up, which may have been the trouble. Thank you for the link to the codex. I appreciate it!
