if you have problem installing wordpress plugin then read detailed instructions here:

http://codex.wordpress.org/Managing_Plugins#Installing_Plugins

The only thing I think I had to do was set up rewrites in .htaccess from all other subsites and the main site to view user profile pages.

For the main page:

RewriteRule ^users/(.*)$ /forums/users/$1 [L,R=301]

For subsites:

RewriteRule ^[subsite]/users/(.*)$ /forums/users/$1 [L,R=301]

Also, I am using the "Move Privacy Options" plugin to make the subsite private, and I noticed that the bbpess rss feeds are not private. I am currently woking on fixing this and so far this is what I have got, which is by no means perfect.

You will need to find the functions bbp_display_topics_feed_rss2 and bbp_display_replies_feed_rss2 in bbp-topic-functions.php and bbp-reply-functions.php respectively, and add this code to the beginning of each fuction

if (!isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'])) {
          header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="My Website"');
          header('HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required');
          exit;
        }
        $user = wp_authenticate($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'], $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']);

        if ( !$user || is_wp_error($user) ) {
          header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="My Website"');
          header('HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required');
        }

Which should limit who can read the rss feeds to people who have a login to your wordpress site.

Any ideas would be really appreciated.

Where are the files for reg, log in, lost p/w etc.?

kangenguru: When I did it using your technique, I had issues :( the BBPress plugin did not have the bb-config.php, so I used the bb-config that is within the buddypress. Hence, I couldnt get the bb-press 2.0 to work. But again when I did it with what is built into buddypress itself, all the files and folders showed up like they were missing.

I am not saying that integrating buddyPress+BBPress is bad, but all I am saying is that I did not know how to work with this issue (could be the lack of knowledge). If anyone could help, that would be awesome.

PS: please do not ask me to google for the documents... I have googled for the past 3 weeks and found several solutions and most of them did not work in my situation. So any help would be greatly appreciated.

Which said: "There doesn't seem to be a bb-config.php file. This usually means that you want to install bbPress."

When I click on "Go to step 1", nothing happens - it just refreshes the page, and does not display the first step. There no error messages.

I am using PHP version 5.1.6
I don't have word press installed.

Any Ideas?

Install WP.
Enable Multisite, but you don't have to create the other sites yet.
Install and activate Buddypress without installing or activating forums through BuddyPress.
Install and activate bbPress.

You are going to get that warning for the time being because BuddyPress 1.5 and bbPress 2.0 aren't fully integrated yet. Better/Full integration is being worked on for BuddyPress 1.6 which is supposed to come out around the same time as WP 3.3, which just hit beta 1 and is scheduled for release at the end of November

I am trying to make my dream-setup:

One multi-site with six sites.
The main site has bussypress1.5 with bbPress2.0.

I can;t get this to work... Is there already a tutorial on how to do this?
At first I tried installing BuddyP. and then activating fora and installing bbPress in the process; enebling it network-wide. But then the bbPress-fora show up on the dashboard of every site.

Now I tried to enable bbPress only on the site I want to use it, but it generates conflicts with the Buddypress installation. I get this error:

"The forums component has not been set up yet."

(also, on a side-note; BuddyPress can only be configured on the dashboard of the Network, not only on the site I actually want to have it running on, but that seems to fit maybe more on the BuddyPress forum).

I'd be gratefull for any help or step-by-step guidance here!

The solution I posted worked and I don't know what to tell you... Maybe you can put a pop-up link instead of using thickbox/prettyphoto/any other overlay plugin.

1. In single-user-edit.php, Before

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/content', 'single-user-edit' ); ?>

add: http://pastebin.com/rfLFaRvq

2. In style.css add:

.bbp-single-user-edit { position:relative; }
#user-avatar-display { position:absolute; top:160px; right:20px; text-align:center; width:155px; }
#user-avatar-display a { color:#000; text-decoration:none; text-align:center; };

3. In functions.php add: http://pastebin.com/YfbiN65x

That's it.
Original solution: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-user-photo-front-end-upload?replies=17#post-2186636
It works great for me. Cheers.

should edit avatar-upload.php
changing line 7, the following

do bb_auth (); / / logged in?

with

bb_auth ('logged_in'); / / logged in?

Please let me know, if this work for you, thanks

I remember 2 years ago as I suffered to do this on another site, they were separate systems. Now, as they are plugins, is extremely easy.

Congratulations to all team WordPress.

I did exactly this (installed in separate plugins) and it worked fine.

The only thing that is kept turned on the option to create forums in groups, since they are different subjects of the forum site.

But both work very well (bbPress and BuddyPress).

Thanks!

I wish I had on my site/blog WordPress both: a social network and a forum.

<b>But what is the best option for integrating it with 100% quality?</b>

What I tried:
First installed BuddyPress and activate forum, then, within groups is possible to have discussion forums.

But the problem is that when accessing http://www.site.com/forums list just the latest topics and the group they belong to.

And I would need, beyond the scope of forum for each group, a global forum for the entire site, to divide the topics into categories ("forums" different).

What suggestions?
Should I install BuddyPress bbPress and WordPress as separate plugins? This does not affect integration?

best,
Lesley

I've narrowed it down to the bb_auth call in the avatar-upload.php file line 7. The cookies - at least for me, an admin - seem wrong. I'm going to clear my cookies and try it again. I'm also going to test with a different user - not an admin and see how that goes.
