ok, after a bit more reading, i installed within the subdirectory of WP. I am in. Now the fun begins.
Maybe this has been addressed above, not sure. The install menu reminds me I am not in the WordPress directory and will need some code tweeking in order for cookies to match with WP, as well as, getting WP functions. To get the WP functions to work in bbPress, more tweeking is required. Is there any advantage to not putting bbPRess inside the directory?
Ultimately, I simply wish to have one WP blog address with a forum capability inside the WP blog.
Should I move bbPress inside the WP subdirectory? Or leave it as is and fine tune?
But I will be modifying the database while I am tweeking. I won’t launch until done and then provide a link from my blog to it, right?
Done for today. Thank you for the help. More later.
Great! I forgot to mention, I wish all access through the WP blog. Not a problem? The forum is an added bell and whistle to the blog.
also
The files are now sitting on the server. Can I start tweeking the Forum without messing up the WP blog at this point in time? By tweeking I mean css for look and feel plus custom content.
Not sure where things go either. I wish to integrate the forum into existing WP blog (more on this later) so I have common registered users, similar look, and I can easily go back and forth from blog to forum.
Blog resides here = mydomain.com/blog
or another way = public_html/blog
I am going to change the folder name of “bbpress” to “forum” so I position just like blog rather than “inside” blog.
mydomain.com/forum
public_html/forum
Right?
