Hi,

I just installed the BP platform.
Now I want to start using the forums.
I didn;t find any forum menu in the Admin panel.
if I want for example to give the user option to use bbcode in the forums.
I saw that this is BBPRESS plugin.
But how do I install BBPRESS plugin in BP?

thanks

BuddyPress currently has an unusual forum implementation – it’s based on bbPress and integrated with the BuddyPress Groups concept: https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-site-administration/buddypress-forum/

You set it up from wp-admin… buddypress… forum setup , but have to create the forums within your BuddyPress groups.

A new bbPress plugin solution was supposed to be released as a beta in mid-September, but that didn’t happen. The author is now suggesting mid-October.

thanks for your quick reply.
So as I understand currently it is not possible to add the basic bbcode and option to upload images
in the forums inside BP .
Or am I wrong … ?
