Via our self owned iPage web hosting site, we are testing various type of forums software in iPage web hosting plan. SMF, phpBB, and vBulletin forum had been setup and tested working in iPage web hosting. The next forum website we are testing is the bbPress forum site. BBpress is WordPress blog alike forum, with few features that you can commonly found in WordPress blog, its created by the same person that created WordPress script. BBpress require php web hosting plan with MySQL database and with .htacess override feature enable. If your web hosting can host WordPress blog scripts, its OK to host bbPress forum site as well.

Our bbPress website testing will cover both installation from iPage Simplescripts installer and manual installation. Both method are totally different, and so we are testing them both one after another. First from the Simplescripts installation, we are using the provided installer tool to setup new bbPress website in our iPage hosting account. From vDeck, go to Simplescripts and choose forum > bbPress installation. Click the installation button and next choose the installation location, and complete the installation process. Three simple steps, and we have bbPress setup in our iPage web hosting account. The installation page looks like this

Our second testing is manual setup installation, and we are uploading the bbPress to a sub-directory and setup the bbPress forum at test directory. Without errors and problem, the bbpress forum site had been up running in minutes of time.
