Setting Up Forums for Groups in BuddyPress

BuddyPress makes it easy for the administrator to install and use forums for your BuddyPress sites groups that are set up. This facilitates more interaction and discussion amongst the users of your website. If you have not installed BuddyPress yet, please see our article on Installing BuddyPress.

The first step is to access your WordPress Dashboard and click on the “forums” link in the sidebar menu under the “BuddyPress” heading.

Now, it will take you to the next screen to confirm you wish to complete the installation. Click “Complete Installation”

Once you click “Complete Installation” You’ll see a screen confirming the configuration settings were saved and your installation was successful.

Now, when you visit your site, you’ll see a tab for forums. Since there’s no current forums configured you’ll see a screen like below.
