 * I am currently using WordPress to design my blog and want to install a bbpress
   forum to it. I have downloaded the files but no matter where I put them on my
   FTP site it doesn’t show up in WordPress. How the hell do I set bbpress up?

 * Try to install bbpress via your administration yoursite.com/wp-admin/plugin-install.
   php
 * If you are unable to install plugins via administration (it is asking you for
   your FTP credentials), you can enforce using of direct FS method by adding following
   to you
 * > wp-config.php
 * `define('FS_METHOD','direct');`
 * Else, the correct path for adding a new plugin is in
 * > ./wp-content/plugins/
 * . If you downloaded a .zip file, make sure you upload the unzipped files (the
   whole directory) to the location above (with the wrapping folder of course).
 * If you have got the files in correct location and WordPress still can not see
   them, make sure those files have a correct permissions and group ( see [http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions](http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions))
 * And one last trick, try to enter your permalinks settings screen in administration
   right after you upload your plugin, that’s something like “restart” for WordPress.
