At first I uploaded the folder bbpress-0.8.3.1.zip to

/home/”mywordpressblogsname”/public_html/wp-content /plugins

where I unzipped it and modified the necessary files. Obviously, that didn’t work, as it’s not a plugin (I think I was on autopilot, as I’ve only installed plugins up to now).

So, where do I upload bbpress to exactly? I have some ideas, but I’d rather get some help than bumble around again.

FYI I am not integrating my forum users with my wordpress blog users (actually, my blog doesn’t allow user login at all).

Thanks!

Put it here:

/home/"mywordpressblogsname"/public_html/bbpress/

Then in config.php set bb->uri:

$bb->uri = 'http://"mywordpressblogsname"/bbpress/';

(assuming your blog is visible at http://”mywordpressblogsname”/ not http://”mywordpressblogsname”/public_html)

You can name the bbpress folder whatever you want. Sometimes people call it forums. Just be sure to change it to the same thing in config.php.
