I meant that it’s a plugin insofar as I dropped it into “/domain.com/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums”.

As I said everything’s the latest version so:

WPMU – 2.8.4

BP – 1.1

bb – latest build from SVN

As for the theme, even if I wasn’t supposed to be using it, I was trying to change it. Problem is, it won’t change now.

I’m having the same problems as David mekersa and colly72. No custom themes, no custom code, the only BP-dependent plugin I’m trying to integrate now is bbPress (and I still haven’t gotten it working yet so hopefully that’s not the problem), latest version of everything.

I moved themes to “/wp-content/themes/” and activated them. I’m on Parent, tried to pick Default for BP, it keeps reverting. However, I don’t want it to be the theme for the root blog.

[@onethousandseas Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

Yep definitely. Unless I’m supposed to upload the contents to that location and not the folder.

Just to be on the safe side, I checked out and downloaded the latest alpha version and used it and I also just upgraded BuddyPress automatically.

[@onethousandseas Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

You will need to upgrade your themes also… Are you using the bp-sn-parent and bp-default themes?

I think so. They show up in my in WPMU –> BuddyPress –> General Settings as

BuddyPress Default (1.1-rc)

BuddyPress Social Network Parent Theme (1.1-rc)

BuddyPress Default Member Theme (1.1-rc)

I’m currently using the parent theme.

Also when I try to install bbPress by going to http://domain.com/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/ as indicated in http://domain.com/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/installation-readme.txt nothing shows up. Is this part of the problem?

[@onethousandseas Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

I upgraded to 1.1 and didn’t get any error messages. But when I click on the “Forums” link I get a 404. Trying to post also gets

There was an error when creating the topic

What should I fix?

I should also note that I installed the forums through WPMU’s admin panel through “Forums Setup”, which I’m not sure is the correct way. It went smoothly, but I still don’t get any results.

Thanks! I’ll try out the tutorial

[@onethousandseas Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

Oh I see, is this the old way? http://umwblogs.org/wiki/index.php/Integrating_WPMu%2C_BuddyPress%2C_and_bbPress I’m not sure because I just installed them both today and set up integration during the bbPress install. So right now I’ve just been controlling the integration through bbPress -> Settings -> WordPress Integration.

[@onethousandseas Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

Ah, so does that mean that if I wanted multiple forums I’d also need multiple bbPress installations?
