Hi – I had a pretty rough time the last time I tried to install and configure bbPress. I have since upgraded to PageLines (they have a compatibility plugin, which I’ve installed but not yet activated.) and I’d like to try again. My site is generating lots of gab but only on a couple of posts – I’d like a nice playroom for them all.

Last time I tried this I saw a decent install/configure video, but can’t find it now – maybe it was for BuddyPress?). Any decent step-by-step configure how-to’s for a miserable, slightly gun-shy newbie?

How about giving our ‘Get Started with bbPress’ document a go?

If you have any problems following this let us know and we will try to improve it.

Many thanks Stephen, sorry I missed this. I have a Pagelines compatibility plugin for bbPress – does it matter which I activate first?

[Stephen Edgar]

Activate bbPress first, then follow Pagelines docs for their plugin <a href=”http://www.pagelines.com/wiki/How_to_Use_the_bbPress_for_PageLines_Plugin”>here, also make sure you have the latest version of their plugin for bbPress 2.2 compatibilty.
