is it absolutely necessary to have forums to be able to use groups? (4 posts)

    my current side project uses buddypress on wp3.0 ms , my partners want to be able to use the core functions of buddypress like friends, follow and groups etc but don’t want forums. I haven’t enabled bbpress on my local clone of the site but I am still able to create a group and even leave messages on it but obviously, the forum link results in an error.

    can buddypress groups function without bbpress? (or more specifically, groups without forums)

    Yes. Just turn bbPress forums off at Dashboard > Component Setup.

    Just don’t install or enable BBPress.
