Thank you! I will give this a try! (Well, after I get the forums to work.)
Andy,
In my case, I create the user like you said in the readme. Then I go to bb-admin > users and when I click on “edit” for that user to give admin privileges it takes me to that user’s member page of the main site (/main-site/members/user-name/profile). I can’t edit forum privileges at all.
So, no, this user does not have admin privileges because something is not allowing me to edit the privileges.
For people that it is not working for: Are you sure the new user you created in bbpress for BuddyPress to use has admin privileges in bbPress? Basically the account that you enter into site admin > group forums?
all is possible 
but Andy in the readme say wpmu 2.7 or trunk and same for bbpress.
p.s. Oh Nicola e tu anzicche’ chiedere qui chiedi su http://www.buddypress-it.it che e’ il sito di supporto italiano no?
Ok, but i think that with some hack.. it can be possible.. But i will wait WPMU 2.7,
PS: Arturo sono italiano anch’io 
no, you can use the trunk of wpmu and the same of bbpress, or wait for the wpmu 2.7 and the beta of bbpress 1.0.
bebopcool: “i cannot make the user created for buddypress in bbpress an admin as i cannot access to bbpres user profile (it gives a 404 error on every user imported from wordpress)”
That’s what happens to me, too.
The forums are with the groups now, but no posts can be added.
Same, the groups forums be created but I cannot create topics in groupes forums.
And I have an error,
when i go to http://www.domain.tld/wp-admin/options.php
Warning: array_search() [function.array-search]: Wrong datatype for second argument in /home/*******/public_html/wp-admin/includes/plugin.php on line 1044
I don’t have any plugin installed , only Buddypress.
wpmu trak version 1574
bbpress 1.0 alpha 2
buddypress 658
pb with cookie integration between bbpress and wordpress
i cannot make the user created for buddypress in bbpress an admin as i cannot access to bbpres user profile
(it gives a 404 error on every user imported from wordpress)
it tried to use the bbpress integration function that allows to give a role to wordpress users :
the new forumbdpress is put as an administrator in wpmu
but he does not appear as an administrator is bbpress
surely those pb are not directly linked with your plugin
but it makes it working not properly :
the groups forums seems to be created but
i cannot create topics in groupes forums
@punkky Well, I think you’ll still need to go in the existing blogs and make them public. The ‘privateness’ of your blogs is determined, from bp’s perspective in this particular case, by the Settings > Privacy toggle. I think, if I remember correctly, if this is Friday. That would be the only place.
I gotta go fix my group forums. I’m just avoiding the issue by talking on the forums. If I play around in the forums long enough my site will see the error of it’s ways and fix itself right?
Oh! That’s it! I had put /member-themes in /themes/ not /wp-content/!!!!
It is working now! Thank you so much. What a dumb mistake. I read where to put it a million times!
Now I can move on to install the forums!
I’m at a total loss. This navigation bar used to work for me until about trunk r571 or so.
I took out my MU plugins one by one and without affecting any change on the navigation bar. Still blank screens.
The BP member theme is here: /wp-content/themes/member-themes/buddypress-member. That’s right?
I am not getting any error messages (as you can see above).
I can’t think of anything else to try. (I haven’t yet added the forum because I’d like to get this working again).
If you would take a look: http://gnowfglins.net/.
Thanks for the help. I appreciate any you can give!
When I create a group with forum, its creating a forum on http://ninofonline.be/bbpress/.
But i can’t post a topic. (http://ninofonline.be/)
Thanks Andy.
At this address, on the BuddyPress Italian Support Site are the same installation readme in Italian for the Italian BuddyPress User. Enjoy!
I missed a step. You must also enable “pingbacks” in the bbpress bb-admin. I’ve updated the instructions now.
Well, if you want the bp forums for groups then you have to be running at least bbpress 1.0 alpha 2 and mu 2.7 trunk. The alpha part on bbpress isn’t as scary as it sounds. The release cycle on bbpress is pretty slow and it seems to work just fine.
Until yesterday I was running bbpress 1a2 and mu 2.6.2 with integration turned on. Now I’m at bb r1860 (1.0 alpha 2+), bp r654, mu 1571 (2.7). Today I get to turn on group forums.
You’re not the only one who isn’t ready. Launch date 1/1/09. Minimum 18hr days until then. 
Great news Andy, I’ve updated to the latest trunk and am eagerly awaiting the readme so I can setup the forums.
I assume we’re to use bbPress 1.0? I’ve installed and integrated 0.9.X currently but will switch to 1.0 if that’s what BuddyPress will be using.
Hi nicola, that must have been introduced in r641. It also may be an interaction with wpmu 2.7. I’m not getting that problem in r644+.
How’s the weather in Italy today? I got 1ft of snow here in Grand Rapids, MI. Doesn’t look like I’m gonna go anywhere today anyway. Gotta install wpmu 2.7 and the bp forums component.
Life is good when you have new toys to play with.
Damn. It’s 5a EST in the States. I’ve been up all nite fooling around with geocoding and googlemapping posts. I should have checked the forums 2 hrs ago. Well, it’ll be here when I get up now won’t it?
Thanks Andy. You know we’ve all been waiting (im)patiently for the forums component. I was reading the SVN log for bbPress. I don’t normally do that or even keep up with the revs on bbPress. Just wasn’t that important until today. It says that Sam has solved some integration problems between bbpress and wpmu. Ya, I’d surely love to see that.
Cookie & session keys that are under documented, admin user accounts disappearing, new users having ‘inactive’ roles, docs that are just plain wrong, _ck_ running around trying to help and put out fires. I don’t even remember all the headaches. Am I just tired or did that sound like you were saying I had to do all that again. Really?
I’m going to bed. So should you. One of us is hallucinating. Dreaming. You gonna write docs for that process? Dreaming, he’s dreaming.
I should be.
LOL, yeah, sorry… overlap! I saw the wire post on the testers group right after I hit submit here on the forum
Looks FAN-BLOODY-TASTIC… You’re a legend! Can’t wait to see it in the build

The wpmu forums are full of this kind of problem. They all seem to have the same source, the .htaccess file. Can you post your .htaccess file and tell us what kind of installation you are using?
subdomain or subdirectory?
Dedicated virtual server or shared hosting?
Is wpmu installed in the root or a subdir?
That might help.
You don’t have a ‘blogs’ button on your bp home page because it’s commented out. That and the normally commented ‘forums’ link are commented out together. Uncomment that and you’ll have a ‘blogs’ button.
@wakuza I hate to appear stupid and ‘american’ but what language is that everyone on your site is using? This is a real question. I honestly don’t know and I’m curious.
Also that little floater bar you have going on is interesting. It’s like a banner that can’t be ignored. I can dismiss it by clicking on the big red X button but it comes back when I revisit the original page. If i dismiss it, shouldn’t it stay gone? Perhaps a cookie check for ‘user turned of announcement bar’ maybe?
I see it takes me to a placeholder for the forums in the bp home theme. It’s difficult to determine what I’m looking at since I don’t know what language it is. Google translate needs to know what language to translate from
