I recently upgraded my VPS from Debian 5 to Debian 6.
Related to this were the following changes :
PHP : 5.2.6-1 ---> 5.3.3-7
MySQL : 5.0.5a ---> 5.1.49

It was a few days ago. Apparently everything was OK.

On my website there is a forum which is not very active so I don't know exactly when the problems appeared but I think it must be related to this :
Today I saw that 2 people had posted an answer to a recent topic but something went wrong : both answers are not linked to the topic and when I want to add this manually through the backoffice the topic just don't appear in the list.

Moreover, I tried to post answers to this topic but I immediadely get Erreur HTTP 500 (Internal Server Error). Of course the problem is the same when I try to answer to other topics.

Any idea about what the problem is and how to solve this ?

I'm using WordPress 3.3.2 and bbpress 2.0.2

Thanks for your help !

Best Regards,
Laurent

We have activated the BBpress plugin and configured forums on three of our demo sites, but when we attempt to add a new topic in the front end, it displays the following error message:

ERROR: Forum ID is missing.

Here is a link to one the sites' forum landing pages:
http://thestandard.feedmydemo.co.za/forums/

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Using FTP or your hosts control panel file manager edit the file,

/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/functions.php

and change the first line from:

if ( !class_exists( 'BBP_Twenty_Ten' ) ) :

to

if ( false && !class_exists( 'BBP_Twenty_Ten' ) ) :

That should stop the fatal error and you can log in. From there you could at least deactivate bbpress or change themes etc.

Don't forget to remove the 'false &&' section later.

new to all this so appologies if this is very simple and obvious to fix

Basically I installed the bbpress plugin yesterday and got it working, then this morning I ran the auto set up functions after having already made some pages so I linked them via the options.
Due to the auto page maker it made extra pages that i wanted to delet and thus did so on the page editor. however the pages I linked didnt show front end but did back end???
also pages I deleted still showed front end??? when clicking on them the browser just went blank.

so now reaching this impass i decided to uninstall that is when i got this message

Fatal error: Class 'BBP_Theme_Compat' not found in /hermes/waloraweb043/b1820/pow.pressstartvgca2/htdocs/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/functions.php on line 32

and now when ever you go to the site this is what you see

http://www.pressstartbc.com

I dont know how to get around this as I cant log in etc

do i have to go back to my server and just take worpress off and reinstal the whole thing?

All help much appreciated

thank you in advance

Fatal error: Call to undefined method stdClass::have_posts() in wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-reply-template.php on line 201

Ideas?

Because I use two shortcode :
[bbp-forum-index]
[bbp-topic-index]

And I have breadcrumbs for forum and an other for topic. Maybe make a shortcode like this is t possible ?

[bbp-topic-index breadcrumbs=false]

And are they way to say number topics to display ?

thx for help ! :)

PHP ver. 5.2.14

I just installed the bbPress 2.0.2 plugin on my newly installed WP 3.3 site. Upon activation of the plugin I get the error:

"add_contextual_help is deprecated since version 3.3! Use get_current_screen()->add_help_tab() instead"

I assume that this is an incompatibility with the PHP calls from the plugin to WP since ver. 3.3 depricated a lot of old PHP scripts.

Is there a way to fix this or at least have WP stop complaining about this?

Thanks!

pick a theme that supports menus

1)create a page
2)add page to menu
3)select menu as active
4)add all of the shortcodes from the shortcode sticky thread to your newly created page
5)take out the shortcodes you do not require

Thats the way I do it at least.
