Help to run BuddyPress forum on my site…

  • I have had a BuddyPress enabled site for many months now but cannot get a good forum to run on it!

    My site is both BuddyPress and bbPress enabled (via plugins) and I currently have a private forum and a public bbPress forum (forum 4 net newbies on sidebar). I have site members but most seem to be spammers (& hopefully I will delete all spammer members soon). I have BP humanity plugin enabled to help stop spammer robots.

    I have just posted on my site for help with this too-see this link- http://richard-dickinson.com/2012/05/30/buddypress-help/

    I would be most appreciative if any experienced BuddyPress user (& or bbPress user) could help me run a good site forum. So I am most grateful for helpful replies, many thanks

    Many thanks for your reply with helpful link, mercime.
    I must say you are a star! You (& very often you alone) always reply to my posts for help-many thanks
    The link helps with anti-spam BP measures & I also need help running BP on site.

    Today I tried creating a new BP forum (a public forum) on my site. From my dashboard I appear to have group forums installed. If I try to install sitewide forums the page displays bbPress plugin details & tells me I have the bbPress plugin already installed(which I already knew). I am not sure how these 2 BP & bbPress forums coexist!?(in the sitewide install >”You may activate both Group and Site Wide forums, but this may create a poor experience for your members.”<)..

    I did successfully manage to create a new BuddyPress public group forum & am trying to display it on my nav bar links which will help accessibility (I think I have an issue with my WP nav menu code to add sub level menu-as they are not displaying-hopefully I can fix that soon). It is a little confusing for me the difference between BP group forums and bbPress sitewide forums & using either or both on site! Where is any help documentation for BuddyPress & bbPress to make setup & use easy & clear?

    Anyway after I fix my menu drop down issue on my WP site, I will see how my BP experience develops from here-so far it has been very, very rocky for me with BuddyPress/bbPress….
    It really shouldn’t be so hard to add BP forum to a WP site & use it easily but for me it is!!!
    I just hope one day BP/bbPress will work well on my site….
    Once again many thanks for your help
    :-)
