I don’t think I’ve actually done the functions.php thing.

I’ve created a separate theme directory with a style.css noting within the file that the parent is the Buddypress default theme.

I did think about that but wanted to avoid it since the whole idea of the child theme is to replace the default but keep the default intact in case it needs to fall back on something. I guess I’m going to have to do that anyway.. Thanks.

code provided by bobbingwide above on the ‘Forums’ page as well as what I’ve just said to do works. Without the code the Forums page would just be blank.

After searching for hours on end to find the solution to this I think I’ve found something. I too had installed the latest Buddypress with the latest WordPress and couldn’t get the forums to work. There was no tab linking to the forums page using the default buddypress theme and when typing in /forums/ it would just redirect back to the homepage.

Under Buddypress->Pages set ‘Discussion Forums’ to ‘none’ rather than the ‘Forum’ page.

This worked for me an hopefully it works for everyone else. Please note this works for the site wide forum option, I haven’t tried the group forums.

Also seeing as it was so easy I’m guessing it’s probably not the best way to fix things and I’ve more than likely done something wrong but until someone corrects me it’s a solution that works.

Hope it helps
