[Resolved] Putting a forum on buddypress
-
I have wordpress 3.1 with plug-in buddypress 1.2.8 installed. My plan is to have a social network with the users having a page and a main page and also a legit forum. I saw that bbpress could be integrated but I have been having a ton of trouble integrating them with sharing cookies. I originally just made a page called “forums” and changed the permalink so the page of the bbpress forum but I couldn’t get it to integrate the logins and there was some issues with cookies and other things that I don’t understand. Is there a simple way of doing this? Bbpress seems to have less support than buddypress though it seems to do what I want better…but rather than changing my whole system later I would rather get buddypress working now if there is a way. Is there a simple forum plug-in or something I can install to have a “forum” page? Thx for the help.

There’s the external bbPress integration with BuddyPress which is the tougher route and then there’s the internal bbPress integration with BuddyPress that’s built-in and tied in groups. The last time I ever did the external bbPress integration was in BP 1.1.2 and it took around 45 steps over a few hours because of some hiccups in integration along the way. Since then, it’s been internal bbPress integration all the way
