Thanks Andre.. this clears up quite a few things.
Well if that’s the case, then except for creating forums/topics/replies, I can’t do anything else at all.
What about plugins for example? Should I put them into my defauly wp plugins folder? Or should it go into wp-content/plugins/bbpress/my-plugins?
I tried the second method and WP doesn’t identify any plugins for bbpress
I wasn’t talking about ‘installing’ the plugin, I was refering to how to access the bbpress admin section.
