Don’t hold your breath. bbPress is very young.
Yeah, I just double checked that– 2.0.4 came with a version of Akismet that did not include the widget, hence why the upgrade caused the failure. I’ve just converted all the widgets I needed to K2 modules, which is a fine workaround for now… still, i think its a pretty big conflict, so I put in a ticket on the bugtracker about this. Thanks for your help.
Ok, so I have the exact same issue with the k2 sidebar module. However, I think this means the issue somewhere in the widget plugin API.
Atsutane – I think this may be a solution for your akismet problem. Try disabling the K2 sidebar module plugin, and enabling Akismet. Does bbpress still work? If yes, comment out lines 374 to 475 of akismet.php, that is, from right before
function widget_akismet_register() {
to right after
add_action('init', 'widget_akismet_register');
This should allow you to use both plugins at the same time.
Let me know if that works.
you know, I hadn’t even heard of the k2 sidebar module… I guess I’ll just use that instead, and avoid this whole mess!
Its a pity this whole thing is so buggy… but its young, I guess. I hope all the kinks get worked out eventually….
Anyway, thanks for the tip!
However, if I switch to a theme that supports widgets, and add some to the sidebar, the error message goes away, and I am left with the blank page again. …?
Ok, so I tested all the combinations of the last two versions of WP and BBP… so its obviously something with my configuration.
But I found that if I install and activate the incriminated plug-ins in WordPress before trying to run the install script for BBpress, it returns the following error:
WordPress database error: [Table 'database.bb_forums' doesn't exist]
SELECT option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = 'widget_text' LIMIT 1
WordPress database error: [Table 'database.bb_forums' doesn't exist]
SELECT option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = 'widget_rss' LIMIT 1
WordPress database error: [Table 'database.bb_forums' doesn't exist]
SELECT option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = 'sidebars_widgets' LIMIT 1
WordPress database error: [Table 'database.bb_forums' doesn't exist]
SELECT option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = 'sidebars_widgets' LIMIT 1
Now we’re getting somewhere! Anyone? A hint?
Ok, so I downgraded the test install to 0.7.2, with the same result…
Atsutane (if you read this) – did you every get the issue you mentioned in https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/38?replies=46#post-862 resolved? That seems to be perhaps a similar predicament… You said you have akismet and ultimate tag warrior installed… do you have the Widgets plugin installed?
I’m sorry to be a bother, but does *anyone* have any idea what’s going on here? Did I make an error? Do other people have this issue? Is this an established bug? Anything I should try? Do you need any more information? Any response would be appreciated…
