bbPress 2+, the plugin, is referred to as the Sitewide Forums in the following guide https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/
thanks for that (I saw that page… was right in front of me and I missed it!).
So I guess that means that BP isn’t integrating group forums with the add-on yet, is this the direction BP is heading?
Group forums will be using bbPress 2+ the plugin pretty soon https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3598
Not sure if the ideal place to post, but here goes:
Have done a brand spanking new install of WP 3.3.1 and BP 1.5.4; and have no other plug-ins installed. I have attempted to create site-wide forums following the above tutorial to the letter, but cannot get my forum to display for love nor money.
When i click in forums on my site menu – it says the ‘forums component hasn’t been setup yet’ – http://county2county.co.uk/forum/ and retruns me to the site index.
If I click on the ‘view page’ when creating a forum then I just get a blank page – http://county2county.co.uk/forums/forum/general-discussion/
If anyone would be able to help out with what I am doing wrong; then I would be eternally grateful.
VMT!
thanks for the link @mercime !
