For that, you will need to do some CSS and template work: none of it is automatic.

This one line made all the difference. At least the page is pulling, but now all formatting is lost and forum links on the page are broken catiakitahara on "Problem deactivating plugin" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/problem-deactivating-plugin#post-17191 Fri, 11 Jul 2008 12:59:59 +0000 catiakitahara 17191@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Thanks, Sam, I'll try this and then I'll tell you if it worked.

Now the forum page pulls and no longer gives an error message, but all my formatting and custom layout is gone. And the links to forums don't work. It takes me to the bbpress default telling me that forum is not found. sambauers on "Problem deactivating plugin" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/problem-deactivating-plugin#post-17137 Wed, 09 Jul 2008 02:55:55 +0000 sambauers 17137@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Just delete lines 168 - 172 in bb-settings.php to get around this for now. If you are upgrading the file will be replaced and fixed anyway. catiakitahara on "Problem deactivating plugin" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/problem-deactivating-plugin#post-17133 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 23:56:46 +0000 catiakitahara 17133@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Hi Chris, First, thank you very much for your attention. :) So, yes I've tried editing the bb-settings.php and bb-admin/plugins.php as recomended, but it didn't work. I got the following messages: Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/wordpres/public_html/forum/bb-settings.php on line 169 Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/wordpres/public_html/forum/bb-settings.php:169) in /home/wordpres/public_html/forum/bb-includes/pluggable.php on line 37 Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/wordpres/public_html/forum/bb-settings.php:169) in /home/wordpres/public_html/forum/bb-includes/pluggable.php on line 37 Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/wordpres/public_html/forum/bb-settings.php:169) in /home/wordpres/public_html/forum/bb-includes/pluggable.php on line 164 And, yes, I made a database backup. I didn't do anything yet. Thanks, Cátia chrishajer on "This ERROR - <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/this-error-ltmeta-http-equivcontent-type-content#post-17129 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 21:39:00 +0000 chrishajer 17129@http://bbpress.org/forums/ You can make the data dynamic, but you need to use bbPress functions, not WordPress functions. If you are intent on using WordPress functions, read <a href="http://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/#func">this</a> and <a href="http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wp-integration-header-integration#post-17084">this</a>. chrishajer on "Problem deactivating plugin" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/problem-deactivating-plugin#post-17126 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 21:28:03 +0000 chrishajer 17126@http://bbpress.org/forums/ > Any other suggestions? Should I try this sollution? Yes. The same problem is happening in another file. Your host has disabled or does not allow the <code>glob</code> function. So, you have the 2nd error. Same type of error, just in a different file now. You should change line 7 in <code>bb-admin/plugins.php</code> to this: <code>if ( function_exists( 'glob' ) && is_callable( 'glob' ) ) {</code> That will take care of the 2nd error. Then, post your results. UPDATE: are you saying making this edit did not work? What was your result? Another error? Post the results please. I am not certain about exporting and importing the database, so I would hold off on this. Please make a database backup now, before upgrading, if you haven't already done so. catiakitahara on "Problem deactivating plugin" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/problem-deactivating-plugin#post-17112 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 14:23:54 +0000 catiakitahara 17112@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Hi, there? Anyone there? catiakitahara on "Problem deactivating plugin" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/problem-deactivating-plugin#post-17108 Mon, 07 Jul 2008 15:48:16 +0000 catiakitahara 17108@http://bbpress.org/forums/ I tryied that solution too and it didn't work either. :( By the way, the php version in my server is 5.2.6. Anyway, the thing is I want to upgrade my bbPress, but the instructions say I must deactivate all plugins first. I can't deactivate them without the errors. Is there any other way I could upgrade my bbPress? Could I backup my bbPress tables, delete bbPress files and simply install the newest version (0.9.0.2) from zero and after that, import my tables? I just can't believe I'm having such a hard time just to do something that should be easy. :( Thanks in advance catiakitahara on "Problem deactivating plugin" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/problem-deactivating-plugin#post-17107 Mon, 07 Jul 2008 15:07:46 +0000 catiakitahara 17107@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Well, sorry, I said that too soon. It didn't help. I tryied both things. Uploading a file called _nothing.php prevented the first error, but it didn't the second one. I deleted that row from bb_topicmeta and I still get the same error messages. Any other suggestions? Should I try this <a href="http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/php-error-messages#post-13143">sollution</a>? catiakitahara on "Problem deactivating plugin" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/problem-deactivating-plugin#post-17105 Mon, 07 Jul 2008 13:09:52 +0000 catiakitahara 17105@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Thanks, guys, It helped a lot! :) Tranny on "This ERROR - <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/this-error-ltmeta-http-equivcontent-type-content#post-17102 Mon, 07 Jul 2008 00:08:09 +0000 Tranny 17102@http://bbpress.org/forums/ I've tried that, but it moved to the next dynamic element and displays an error from there. I deleted that line and again the same - shows an error rom where next dynamic element is. Any chance I can make that head dynamic data? chrishajer on "This ERROR - <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/this-error-ltmeta-http-equivcontent-type-content#post-17100 Sun, 06 Jul 2008 23:56:26 +0000 chrishajer 17100@http://bbpress.org/forums/ This is the problem right here: <code><?php bloginfo('html_type'); ?></code> bloginfo is a WordPress function, but you're in bbPress. Try hard coding it like this <code><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /></code> as it is in the default theme, and I think you will find that it works.

I also had title tag customized because default values are not SEO friendly. Obviously, this clashes with upgraded version causing my forums page to not work. This is what HEAD of my header.php looks like <pre><code><head profile="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="<?php bloginfo('html_type'); ?>; charset=<?php bloginfo('charset'); ?>" /> <title> <?php if (is_front()) { ?> Forums and Forum Topic on Bullshit Blog <?php } elseif (is_forum()) { echo (get_forum_name() .

Is there a way to retain it and have it properly pull required data again?

If you have access tot he database directly you can delete the row from bb_topicmeta with a meta_name of 'active_plugins' to completely remove the reference to them. chrishajer on "This ERROR - <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/this-error-ltmeta-http-equivcontent-type-content#post-17081 Sun, 06 Jul 2008 06:45:29 +0000 chrishajer 17081@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Looks like this is hard coded into the theme's header.php: <code><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /></code> So, unless that line was edited in some improper or invalid way, I can't see what would case that line to be truncated after <code>content="</code>. Can you confirm or post that line from your active theme's header.php? chrishajer on "This ERROR - <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/this-error-ltmeta-http-equivcontent-type-content#post-17080 Sun, 06 Jul 2008 06:35:42 +0000 chrishajer 17080@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Well, The next thing that is supposed to come up, I think, is this: <code>text/html; charset=utf-8</code> Maybe whatever is providing that has an error and is causing this problem. Are you using a stock theme, and if not, does changing it back to stock fix this error? My guess is this is something in the template file, or the config. Are you using a different language file? (I'm guessing not, based on the blog.) Or, is it possible not everything was uploaded properly? Some things I would expect to be in that directory are not present when accessed directly by URL. Can you confirm that a new bbPress 0.9.0.2 archive and your server have the same exact files?

Thanks for your help :) EDIT: Opps, had to edit my post cause BBCode didn't go through :S chrishajer on "This ERROR - <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/this-error-ltmeta-http-equivcontent-type-content#post-17078 Sun, 06 Jul 2008 00:51:02 +0000 chrishajer 17078@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Can you post a link to your forum? Sounds like the server is not parsing php files or something was edited in a php file causing this, or maybe it's a plugin or template issue. Please post a URL to your forum if possible. Alternatively, you can switch to a stock theme if you're not using the stock one now and deactivate your plugins and see if that affects anything. chrishajer on "Problem deactivating plugin" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/problem-deactivating-plugin#post-17077 Sun, 06 Jul 2008 00:46:22 +0000 chrishajer 17077@http://bbpress.org/forums/ For the first error, I think in 0.8.3.1 it is looking for an underscore plugin, but you have none in the plugin folder any more, and it errors out. This is line 169 from bb-settings.php: <code>foreach ( glob(BBPLUGINDIR . '_*.php') as $_plugin )</code> I would create a blank php file called _nothing.php (nothing in the file at all) and put that in your plugin directory. The name of the file does not matter, except it needs to begin with an underscore. The contents of the file don't matter either. We just want something for bbPress to see in that directory so it does not fail. That should prevent the first error. I think it will actually take care of the second error as well. It's also related to having no underscore plugins in the plugin directory. Thanks for posting your bbPress versions: it was invaluable in finding the right line numbers and relevant code. catiakitahara on "Problem deactivating plugin" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/problem-deactivating-plugin#post-17071 Sat, 05 Jul 2008 16:16:16 +0000 catiakitahara 17071@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Hi, everyone, I'm trying to deactivate my plugins to upgrade my bbPress from 0.8.3.1 to 0.9.0.2. On my admin interface there's no activate/deactivate button. It's been a while since I installed them, but I guess I only needed to upload the plugin to my plugins folder and that's it. So I just deleted the plugins from my-plugins folder. I thought it was going to uninstall them, however the forum stops working and I get the following messages: Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/wordpres/public_html/forum/bb-settings.php on line 169 Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/wordpres/public_html/forum/bb-admin/plugins.php on line 7 Am I doing something wrong? thanks in advance.
