    Hello, ok want to have a traditional forum layout plus one for groups, as i understand this i use the internal bbpress for groups and then unpack bbpress to dir ‘forums’ this will allow me to do as i wish.

    This i have done but when i access forums i can see the a page that is a bbpress page with login section but no forums instead i get error

    Forums » Page not found!

    Page not found!

    I’m sorry, but there is nothing at this URL.

    If i try and login as wpmu/buddypress admin i get a blank page with url being

    domain/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/bb-login.php

    any ideas where i have gone wrong?

    As i understand the tow forums should us the same db tables and i have successfully created the bb-config file via CP.

    cheers

    You can’t install bbpress in the “forums” folder if you enable buddypress group forums, since buddypress will then use “forums” as its permalink for its build in group forums.

    Maybe install the standard bbpress in a “forum” folder?

    So i would have to turn off group forums?

    If i have standard bbpress install in /forums will that allow group forums as well as normal layout?

    cheers

    You can redefine the BP forums slug to something else in wp-config.php or bp-custom.php:

    define( 'BP_FORUMS_SLUG', 'group-forums' );

    That way, you can install bbPress in /forums/ if you wanted to.

    This is what I’ve done on my test environment and it works.

    If you install a fresh copy of bbPress in a forum on your server called “forums” then it will override the slug in most installations. At that point you would need to theme your bbPress installation to look like the rest of your website.
