How to work BuddyPress and BBpress

So, I’m pretty confused. I used an older version of buddypress quiet some time ago. I was wondering, do I need to install bbpress first and then buddypress? Because right now I have both installed. Problem I was having while only having buddypress installed is that I can’t find the sections where you make the forums or tell it how you want the forum to be viewed. I am using a woothemes theme called canvas theme for buddypress. So, since I couldn’t find these sections on just buddypress I decided to download the bbpress plugin. I can add the forums on this but the forums section is not showing it. Please Help!! Thank you ().

I’ve been playing with BBPress 2.0 for a while. The quickest and easiest way to get it working is to copy the shortcode you require (or all of them and then edit the ones you don’t need) from https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes

Paste the shortcodes you require into a new page you create within wordpress – or an existing page.

The forums list will show up along with topics list and so on if you use the correct shortcode.

I use a plugin to make it easy to find Post ID for each individual forum.
