Thank you very much. I’ll play with a forum.php page setup.

Hey, no problem. thank you for coming to my rescue

Yes, I did create a forum

http://www.homeschoolagora.com/forums/

The forum page shows up, but it’s treated like a blog page

http://www.homeschoolagora.com/forums/forum/homeschool-legal-requirements/

and puts the blog widgets in the sidebar instead of the bbPress login and forum-related widgets.

I didn’t even have to create a Forums page in WordPress. The moment I installed bbPress, it created its own forums page, even though it did not appear in the navigation.

Actually, when I do create a forums page in wordpress, it sort of takes over the bbPress-created one and shows nothing on the page. Only when I delete, does the bbPress forums page come back.

That is why I’m not sure if I’m missing a step or two.

I just installed the bbPress plugin from within WordPress and activated it, then created a forum, and put a few bbpress widgets in the bbpress sidebar.

The forums page is here

http://www.homeschoolagora.com/forums/

problems:

– The site considers the (only) forum there as a blog post (see breadcrumbs under the header banner

– thus it does not use the right sidebar widgets (as set up under the widgets admin page)

– there’s no login field

– I had to add the forums page to the top navigation menu as a custom URL page. is that the way it’s supposed to be?

Very confused. Am I missing something very obvious? Or is the setup more involved than just installing the bbPress plugin and activating it?

Thank you

Hi jaredatch,

I just did that, but to no avail. The forums page is blank.

This is my first time using bbPress with WordPress, so forgive the silly questions. is bbPress supposed to automatically show up on a page called “forums”, like YourDomain.com/forums, without me doing anything besides installing the plugin and activating it? Or is there an extra step for me to take?

Thank you

Anyone?
