Also, another way I could use it is, if I could manually input an iframe into each profile? It wouldn’t be the same fore everyone, but is there a way to make it conditional. I am trying to add weather info to profiles.

I would like to know the same thing. Is it possible, I installed a iframe embed plugin, which allows iframes in posts and that works, but not in the BP profile. Thanks

Just posted this for another guy. I actually read this forum when having my issue…just resolved, hope it works for you too. took about 10 mins with this technique, hope it works.
1. First delete the bb-config.php from you server (in root wordpress folder, if you used the buddypress bbpress installer).
2. download the zip of bbpress from their site. -> extract all -> and ftp to a new directory (foooorum was mine)
3. go to http://yourawsomedomain.com/fooooorum it should open their installer.
4. ftp your wp-config.php from your server to computer and open it.
5. follow instructions on the installer first is db info: dbhost db user, user password. all this is in the wp-config.php file you just opened. Use this same info -> click advanced settings, and make sure the host is right mine needed to be changed from localhost to mysql.mydomain.com
6. click to step two, click wordpress integration. Now you need to log onto you phpmyadmin. you can often do this by mysql.yourdomain.com then use the login details for the db that you used again, the dbuser and user password. Once in there click the database, you will see a lot of files that look like wp_daks_bpetc This is important. you need the wp_daks (the daks signify random letters from your actual one). So just where it asks for the tables of wp files give it to them in “wp_daks_” format. click next, and install i think. ALMOST THERE!
7. go to your wp dashboard click on the buddypress area, click on forums setup. it will say you already did it, but click reinstall.
8. Select use an outside install.
9. Enter the path of the other install for me it already said /user/domain/ so i just changed it to /user/domain/foooorum. Click complete and you are good to go. no it should all work. Please let me know if it doesn’t, cause it worked for me easily when nothing else would.

Hello, not sure if this is your exact problem, but I was not able to post anything in my forum. I looked and had no tables. the fix I used after trying everything I could find:
1. First delete the bb-config.php from you server.
2. download the zip of bbpress from their site. -> extract all -> and ftp to a new directory (foooorum was mine)
3. go to http://yourawsomedomain.com/fooooorum it should open their installer.
