I have a problem with bbPress installation.

I first installed WordPress 3.0, BuddyPress and forums that come with BuddyPress.

After, disable the plugin BuddyPress and all other plugins associated with it. I will not use BuddyPress.

Upload bbPress to a new folder: http://www.mydomain.com/bbPress

With de browser go to http://www.mydomain.com/bbpress

But do not start the installation of bbPress if that appears directly in the form to register as a user of the forums.

When I try to login and then sends me to an old path BuddyPress:

http://www.mydomain.com/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/bb-login.php

How I can do to install a clean bbPress without interfering with BuddyPress?

Try removing your .htaccess file and then regenerating it by setting permalinks settings.

I have exactly the same problem. My .htaccess file contained almost nothing, nevertheless I regenereated it without any changes.

Any other ideas? Is something still written in the WP DB tabels?

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

You would have to remove BuddyPress related stuff from DB then.

If you delete all ‘wp_bp’ tables, the forum installs. But it states that the forum is created in /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/ (should be: domain.com/forum/ in my case)

I don’t have buddypress nor bbpress in my plugin directory any more. I guess I should remove more from the DB to make this work, any ideas?

[pvranken]

Ok, I did some searches in the WP DB and removed some more referrences to buddypress (just search for ‘buddy’ or ‘wp-bp’).

Alex, this probably works for you too, as you did exactly what I did. Asfame, thanks for thinking along.

Good that you got it working

I managed to install manually configuring forum bb-config.php file and uploading to the bbPress folder. The bbPress database is different from WordPress.
