    Should be one useful plugin for Buddypress.

    Funny, I have followed the steps in the integration – and I could not make the Forums appear in Buddypress Groups. I tried a lot but the only solution to my problem (and perhaps NOTME31’s problem also) is just to go to DASHBOARD > Buddypress > Component Setup > and “disable” Buddypress BBForums option, save it and then “enable” it again.

    Voila! It worked! No need to use the BBPress Integration plugin nor modify WP-CONFIG and BB-CONFIG.

    I am using the latest release of Buddypress, and BBpress rel 1. “Bechet”. My site is at http://www.animejoints.com, although I cared not to go into “deep integration” this time. I am already happy with the BBPress Forum sharing same login as with the Buddypress and Forums are working.

    HINT: Simply follow the steps outlined on the first post of this thread.

    bbPress Side (First):

    1) you have bbpress installed and a new user created on the “bbPress” side which you granted “administrator” rights by the keymaster

    2) you copy the “buddypress-enable.php” plugin out of the bp-forums folders and copy it into your /my-plugins/ folder (create if it doesn’t exist) so it is /my-plugins/buddypress-enable.php ****People ask about /bb-plugins/ versus /my-plugins/ and put it in /my-plugins/

    3) Enable the plugin through your bbPress administration side for plugins

    4) Edit “settings” to enable xmlrpc and pingbacks (both)

    5) edit your bb-config.php and just before the closing php call at the bottom of the page put:

    $bb->bb_xmlrpc_allow_user_switching = true;

    buddypress Side (Second):

    6) Go into your main blog dashboard as the “site-admin” and go to the “bbPress Forums” page. Put in the URL of your forum like http://yoursite.com/forums/ and make sure you have the ending slash on that one.

    7) Put in the user that you created in step 1 with the bbPress “administration” rights and their password. I never changed the password, just used the random one it sent me, but it is up to you. I usually save it a couple of times to ensure it was entered due to a refreshing bug at time of writing this.

    Before you go to your Group Admin Setting to enable Forum, go to BuddyPress> Component Setup > and disable – save – enable BBPress Forums.

    I’m just an ordinary user with no technical knowledge and I got this site started – http://petnetwork.ws . It’s using the standard theme and I guess it just fits the site’s content, I guess.

    Hi DJPaul, pardon the newbie in me – I am also trying to do this but I can’t seem to find the bp_nav_items. LOL, maybe you can provide a hint where to look. Thanks!

    Wow – I must have been so lucky I did not encountered any problem with my buddypress – bbpress site integration.

    Just followed the instructions. Now just need to make my forum site look like the main site. LOL – I am not a techie guy though.

    Here’s my new site: http://petnetwork.ws / forum at http://petnetwork.ws/forums/
