Hi,

I have downloaded bbpress. How do I activate it? I download it and then nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

ok, can you describe exactly what you did.

‘I downloaded’ could mean anything

so I went to xx, click yy, and then did zz please

I downloaded the first link on the page https://bbpress.org/download/

saved it to my computer. I have several files saved on my computer labeled as bbpress

[Robin W]

ok, I presume you have a website running wordpress that you want to add this to?

I have a website that I want to add a forum to. My website is already set up on my domain. I just need a forum. bbpress was recommended to help me get this accomplished.

ok, so go into your dashboard and go to

dashboard>plugins>add new plugin and you’ll see near the top left a box that says ‘upload plugin’ ‘ click that and then navigate to were you saved the downloaded bbpress plugin zip file.

Click install and then activate

Then for further help go to
