I did what Zhen said (set Site Visibility to “Allow search engines to index this site”) and it works. Can’t believe this isn’t mentioned somwehere!

So modifying DoctorWombats 6 steps to install I would modify it like this:

1. Plugins > Add New > BuddyPress 1.5 (or install manually by uploading files)

2. Activate BuddyPress

3. Run the Install Wizard BUT leaving the Forum Component unchecked.

4. Plugins > Add New > bbPress 2.0 (or install manually by uploading files)

5. Activate bbPress

6. Make sure Settings > Privacy > Site Visibility is set to “Allow search engines to index this site.”

7. Create a forum, test topics, and test replies and see them appear in Activity Streams

I tested this using WordPress 3.3.1, BuddyPress 1.5.3.1 and bbPress 2.0.2 so no nightlies involved.

Thank you Zhen!
