Wait wait wait – why are you deleting buddypress? I dont’ understand.
Either way if you follow the instructions to create a new forum then you are able to see your forums and click Post New Topic then you’re doing it right so far.
If you’re getting that bug there is a fix that seems to work for me, I found it on the site:
You have to go to group admin settings where you turn on/off forums for that group.
You need to check/un-check the box a few times to ‘massage’ the form into actually tuning it on. Yes I know it sounds retarded but it’s true. You click and unclick that selection box about 4 times and then save. You should be good to go.
What versions of WP and BP are you using, @esploded? What errors do you get in your web server’s error logs? I bet this is to do with https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1486
WP and BP are all up to date.
I’m using MAMP, so I don’t know how to find the error logs.
I did change the code in bb-config.php
This is really annoying.
Is it possible to use a different forum service and integrate it into groups?
I might go that route, because this forum app doesn’t have much functionality anyways…
== I did change the code in bb-config.php ==
bb-config.php is automatically generated if you go through the BP Forums set-up. You shouldn’t have to change anything in the code.

You can install a different forum but you would need to create/code a bridge to WP (if forum you choose is not a WP plugin) as well as bridge to BP groups.
Oh, all right.
So I just download the patch, and open it?
I assumed I could just change the code from bb-config.php
As far as patching the current official release you’ll need to find the code replacements and manually apply them to the appropriate files. The lines to be replaced are highlighted in red and the patch code is highlighted in green.
But aren’t the ‘appropriate files’ bb-config.php which are automatically generated?
