Error – bbPress is already installed

I installed bbpress and went through the installation process.

It didn’t work and I got an error message.

I tried deleting it and then re-installing to try something new on the installation process but then got the message

“bbPress is already installed”

Thanks in advance for simple solution!

You get the message that bbPress is already installed because the database tables are still present. Drop the bb_ tables (if that’s what you used for a table prefix) and you will be able to install again.

Thanks,

How do I drop the bb_tables?

Open phpmyadmin and delete the tables.

That did it.

I was worried about messing around with phpAdmin but it was actually quite straightforward.

Result!
