There must be one even if it’s not shown on screen.

That would account for your failed site creation.

See above.  Can you provide some advice to @baly on changing site URLs.  Thanks.

It will work in just the same way (accessible via http://yoursite.domain/groupblogslug/forums) and you’ve got access to a number of bbPress widgets that can show forum content wherever you want to place them in the group-blog.

How do you show your group’s forum within the group’s blog?

A couple of questions for you @baly…

Is bbPress Network-activated? (I assume so)
Are you seeing the bbPress Custom Post Types in the Groupblog’s WP admin?

And more broadly, is there specific reason for doing this?

Cheers, Christian

There are a number of plugins that will create RSS feeds for various parts of your groups and forums – I think Boone wrote one – but it might be a little out of date.  See this post: http://teleogistic.net/2010/09/new-buddypress-plugin-bp-lotsa-feeds/

I’m not sure if that would fit in with your use case.  I am pinging @r-a-y and <…[Read more]

Group blog creation is independent of the setting for creating sites. There’s nothing wrong with allowing sites to be created, nor anything wrong with restricting that ability. @baly in the end, it’s up to you – WordPress and CBOX will work just fine either way, no need for extra plugins.
