Change to bp-default theme and check if issue is corrected. If it is, you know what to do.
== I am currently using group forums on my buddypress setup and I want to remove forums from it.. ==
Backup then delete bb-config.php file at root where you installed WordPress.
Change to bp-default theme and check if issue is resolved.
Hope not, I’d be damned…
But in the theme’s demo, everything is working beaufully: http://ghostpool.com/wordpress/?theme=score
Exactly as I’d like to.
Yes all I’m looking for here is bringing this page back as a main menu item beside or under “Activity” – simple.

@Sharetest This is similar to what was originally suggested here – https://buddypress.org/community/groups/third-party-components-plugins/forum/topic/hey-where-did-the-bp-media-support-forum-go/

“I like the idea of eventually having a popular plugin page. If that happens, clearly BP Media stands out. I think the best way to keep things running smoothly currently is to focus on BuddyPress core development and support, and iterate on the third-party plugin experience for what it is.”
I agree, we need this feature. And Please, can everyone keep this on-topic of a ‘sort’ feature in-order to ensure this thread doesn’t get closed prematurely so that others can also voice their opinion, thanks. If you have other problems, please create a new thread. 
I’ve read and reread everyone’s opinions, and I appreciate the feedback.
Like @mercime alluded to, it’s safe to assume the integration issues are in your theme.
contact me asap
That isn’t how this works; no one is going to email you to help you. I suggest you check the codex or these forums for people having a similar issue.
As a general hint, create a WordPress page and then set it in your BuddyPress settings.
If it’s going to take bbPress in excess of 4 weeks to fix a seemingly simple bug with help menus, I’m not too confident about keeping the software installed.
If you have the time and the means to create a patch, by all means feel free to do so.
@mercime I’m not sure that would be considered best practice… I’m developing a bespoke CMS with WordPress using Custom Post Types and I need WP_DEBUG on to make sure everything is running smoothly.

This is something you have to bring up with the theme developer who also created theme’s own BP compatible template files. Have you checked Suffusion forums? If you encountered this problem, in all probability others have reported it in those forums as well and could already have found some resolution.
Saw this: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1699
You’re seeing that because WP_DEBUG is set to true in your wp-config.php, make it false
@djpaul I too tried following the same steps you outlined above (i.e. changing the slugs) and site wide forums are still not working for me. Its important for me to have the Component Box enabled as I need it enabled so the forum functions show up for the Achievements plugin. Any suggestions or detailed steps you can provide?
If your problem is specific to the Sitewide Forums not working, your best place for support is the bbPress forums at http://www.bbpress.org. They work with BuddyPress’ activity stream.
On the BuddyPress side of things, we’re deprecating the BuddyBar, so there was no point building bbPress 2.0 support into it. In BP 1.6, we’re switching over the the WP Toolbar. And in conjunction with bbPress 2.1, it’ll integrate forums into BuddyPress groups.
No date for BP 1.6 yet, but will hopefully be in beta soon.
It is a new installation, without plugins, just the Score theme (http://themeforest.net/item/score-review-wordpress-buddypress-theme/703127) wich has been last updated few days ago and without bugs.
Do we have a BP 1.6 Release Date?
I would like this too. Currently using old BP Group Forums extras to show activity stream replies in forum topics, would like to update BP but can’t till I get threaded forum replies…
== I remember when installing forums in BuddyPress was a breeze… ==
The internal bbPress installation, Forums for Groups, is still a breeze. Group Forums are fully integrated with BP 1.5.2. While Sitewide Forums, bbPress 2.0.2, is compatible with BP 1.5.2, full integration will come in BP 1.6 possibly with script to migrate Group Forums to the Sitewide Foruns.
As to the errors you are encountering, are these on a relatively new installation? If you change to bp-default theme and deactivate all plugins except BP and bbPress, are the errors still showing up? If so, you might want to report it in Trac. https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/
Thanks, @nanchante2
It works! BTW, it would be nice Buddypress have it as core function in future versions.
this code used to work in older versions of BP – http://teleogistic.net/2011/03/redirect-buddypress-activity-reply-links-to-forums-leave-a-reply/
I haven’t tried it in 1.5.2 yet.
let me know how you get on.
+1 on this – it is very frustrating part of the system.
@petergriffyn
As per the roadmap – https://buddypress.org/about/roadmap/
“Full integration and migration for bbPress 2.0” will be in BP 1.6
Thanks for the suggestion. I had a copy of bbconfig from my MAMP installation and bbpress couldn’t find its tables. Updating the bbconfig to the server settings fixed the problem.
