I'm a really new website owner. I don't know a lot about manipulating html code. I've read the step by step instructions for installing bbpress but It's not enough ...I need indepth instructions.
This much I have done. Downloaded bbPress to my PC. Unzipped the file.
I have Wordpress already on my web host account.
Where do I put bbpress? I would like to have them integrated.
Do I put it under /wp-admin/?
bbPress support forums » Installation
need more than step by step intall instructions

Create a directory called /forums/ and upload the bbPress files there. You definitely do not want to put them under /wp-admin/. If you have, you should delete those files.
You can name the directory something else if you like.

I loaded bbpress into the /forums/ directory and then went to http://natureforkids.net/forum/bbpress/bb-admin/install.php
I got this message:
"There doesn't seem to be a bb-config.php file. This usually means that you want to install bbPress. We're now going to go through a few steps to get you up and running."
I followed the link and entered my database name and database user and password which I got from my host. I entered the info and got this message:
"There was a problem connecting to the database you specified.
Please check the settings, then try again. "
I re-did this a couple times, checking and rechecking the database info. I keep getting this message.Posted 3 months ago # -
Copy the same values from your wp-config.php file in the root directory and try again. :-)

That helped so much. My host info needed to be changed. Thanks!
