I am in the process of migrating from the old BuddyPress forums to bbPress-based one as per these instructions in the BuddyPress codex:
Migrating from old forums to bbPress 2.2+
I wish to preserve my existing group forums framework. However I’ve hit a problem at the penultimate step in the instructions under Settings > Forums:
Under “Group Forums Parent“, ensure “Group Forums” is selected.
My “Group Forums Parent“ does not include a “Group Forums” option. The list is approximately as follows:
– Forum Root –
Forum 1
>Forum 2
>Forum 3
>…
>Forum 29
>Forum 30
Forum 31
i.e., the ‘Forum Root’ option at the top, two forums at the top level (1 and 31 here) and a few dozen forums beneath forum 1 in the hierarchy.
What am I supposed to select instead of the missing “Group Forums” option?
My goal is for the main page of the forums to have a list of the most recently updated topics and a list of all the forums.
I’m currently running WordPress 3.8.1, BuddyPress 1.9.2 and BBPress 2.5.3.
