I am using WordPress 4.6.1 and BuddyPress 2.6.2 for a week. To create a new discussion forum with functionalities of community websites (e.g. private message, member friendship etc.) for the members I installed bbPress 2.5.10 plugin today and was reading the BuddyPress documentations to use bbPress within BuddyPress. In this article the authors suggested to migrate the forum within BuddyPress to bbPress and in the (3) paragraph they suggested to go to settings > BuddyPress > Pages > Discusssion forums.

I followed the path but couldn’t find “discussion forums” option within “page” or any other tabs in BuddyPress settings.

My question may seem silly, but still I request for your help as I have just started using BuddyPress and haven’t published my website yet…I don’t have much knowledge about this plugins.

one of the reasons that I think can be possible is that I haven’t created a forum yet using BuddyPress. Please guide me in this matter and if you know suggest any resources where I can find the step-by-step process to include bbPress forum within BuddyPress.

Hi,

you read the wrong article.
You say that you installed bbPress 2.5.10 plugin today. So reading about forum migration is useless ! 😉

Better try to follow what’s explained here.
