BuddyPress.org

“bumping” will not help you. It is only annoying. If noone replies, it is because noone reading the forums knows the answer. (I’m reading this after having been away – I would have done so even without your “bump”.) Please do not do it again – anywhere on the internet.

I have no idea why the component returns to it’s “disabled” state, try re-installing – either just it or the entire setup.

A “forum” tab will never appear on your BuddyPress site, unless you apply specific code. You can put something like this in a file called bp-custom.php in your wp-content/plugins folder:

function add_forum_to_main_menu() {

?><li><a href="http://example.org/forum/" title="Forum">Forum</a></li><?php

}

add_action( 'bp_nav_items', 'add_forum_to_main_menu' );
