it helps a little but how do I actually make the forum?
(1) Set up in the wp-admin panel
In the wp-admin panel > BuddyPress > Forums Setup
(2) Each group now has access to enabling a forum. Go to Group Settings for each group Group > Admin > Edit Settings. There is a checkbox for enabling the forum.
how do I make a page for the forum
Did you set up the forums in the wp-admin?
Did you enable the forum in each group?
Once enabled then the link for a forum for that particular group becomes available (a page is available) …
Are you using the bbpress included in BuddyPress?
ok Forums came up now but how do I separate it into different sections for different topics?
This is done through groups; that is, each group has its own forum.
after I have multiple groups will they show up on the forum page?
Hi I have installed buddypress 1.8.1 but I am not getting forum menu in site.
how to activate forum in 1.8.1
Because the forums inside buddypress only work for buddypress groups. If you want a global forum, you will have to install bbPress as well.
