I HAVE BUDDYPRESS INSTALLED ON http://www.yoyotricksnow.com/yoyo/

EVERYTHING WORKS FINE EXCEPT FOR TWO THINGS.

THE FIRST AND OF INCREDIBLE IMPORTANCE IS THAT I CAN’T GET FORUMS TO WORK ON IT. I BELIEVE I HAVE THE MOST CURRENT VERSION OF BUDDYPRESS BECAUSE I HAVE INSTALLED IT WITHIN THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS.

WHEN I TRY TO GO TO THE FORUM SETUP TO GET IT TO WORK AND CLICK ON INSTALL ON AN EXISTING INSTALLATION IT ALWAYS SD CANNOT FIND bb-config.php FILE NO MATTER WHAT DIRECTORY I USE.

I CAN’T UNINSTALL AND START OVER BECAUSE I ALREADY HAVE SOME MEMBERS. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS I WANT TO LAUNCH THIS WEBSITE TO THE PUBLIC WITHIN THE NEXT WEEK OR SO AND I REALLY NEED THIS WORKING BEFORE I CAN DO THAT.

ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

MY ONLY OTHER PROBLEM WITH MY BUDDYPRESS INSTALL IS THAT I CAN’T GET FACEBOOK INTEGRATED CORRECTLY THROUGH BUDDYSTREAM….TWITTER WORKS FINE BUT FACEBOOK GIVES AN ERROR SO I DON’T EVEN HAVE IT ON THERE AT THIS POINT.

IF SOMEONE CAN HELP ME WITH THE FORUM PROBLEM I WOULD BE FOREVER IN THEIR DEBT.

THANKS IN ADVANCE

Woah, don’t shout (uppercase) please.

Do you need to install BuddyPress’ forums as “existing installation”? If you don’t have an existing, external bbPress installation, click the new install button.

What @djpaul said, no shouting please.

“when i try to go to the forums setup to get it to work and click on install on an existing installation it alwats sd cannot find bb-config.php file no matter what directory i use.”
Assuming you understood that the terms “existing installation” refers to existing bbPress installation, then point to the folder where you existing bbPress is installed. Otherwise, check this out https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/#forums-setup
