Inside the folder that as WordPress, put a folder with all the bbPress files in it. So maybe you have this:
/public/html/wordpress/
add a new folder:
/public/html/wordpress/forum/
(or forums or discussion or bbpress)
then access your new installation at http://www.example.com/forum (or whatever you selected) assuming WordPress is accessible at http://www.example.com/
Thank you very much for your support…I got some help from my hosting site to create a database like the installer requested…but the one he created is not directly in my wordpress file…can you show me an example of what a WP site with the forum install looks like so I can see what I am working towards…Give me a URL if you don’t mind…Thank you again…Kenney
They don’t look any different than a WordPress installation, and then a bbPress forum at a different URL. Here’s what it looks like if you don’t do any sort of integration:
bbPress: http://www.riversideinfo.org/forum/
WordPress: http://www.riversideinfo.org/
WordPress is in the html root, and then in that folder is a forum folder, which is why bbPress is accessible at http://www.riversideinfo.org/forum/
