You may want to update your bbPress 1.0 forums to 1.1 first, then try again.
If it’s not on the same server, there’s no way to import the data. Copy the DB over, migrate the data, then delete the old DB tables.
I’ll update this topic when it’s available. Until then, assume it’s not.
For what it’s worth, bbPress.org uses less than 500 extra lines of HTML and CSS to look how it does compared to an out-of-the-box install. Pretty minimal planning and effort goes a long way.
It’s probably because they aren’t being assigned any role or capabilities, or they’re given a role that bbPress doesn’t know of. bbPress 2.2 should address some of these types of potential issues, but someone would need to look at your installation to be certain.
Exactly. You’ll want to update to bbPress 1.1 first.
Sounds like a weird bug that 2.2 will address soon.
@trendy0 – exactly right.
It’s not that it’s incompatible, it’s that supporting hundreds of combinations of multiple pieces of software is not something I’m able to do. There isn’t much that’s changed since 2.0, so I’m curious what the problem actually is.
Turn on WP_DEBUG, and see what errors are happening. Check your error logs on your server. There’s plenty of ways to get more detail, you’ll just need to do some investigation. If you find a bug, I’ll fix it.
It’s also capability based, and this is all addressed in 2.2.
All sounds pretty weird, and nothing bbPress would have caused directly; it doesn’t touch media at all.
You’ll want to use WordPress’s actions to manipulate the output of the form. There are also actions on the submission side you can hook into to verify the form data.
I’m working on this now for bbPress 2.2, which I’ll most likely fast-track to address this exact issue. I consider it all a big bug, if not just quickly behavior.
Sounds like you’re running out of memory, or some plugin conflict. bbPress is also only really intended to work with current WordPress versions; once you start mixing and matching versions, you’re on your own to troubleshoot.
This doesn’t seem like a BuddyPress issue. I’ve seen other installs have this issue too. Working on a fix for 2.2, and will possibly backport it to 2.1.3.
The forums query is arbitrarily limited to 50 forums, to prevent it from grabbing a huge dataset. You’ll want to pass a custom ‘posts_per_page’ into bbp_has_forums() to go beyond 50.
Don’t modify bbPress core. Use the filters instead.
The default theme will go this route eventually.
Forums, are forums. If you want social network type features, you’ll need social network type software. BuddyPress is a plugin, just like bbPress is, though it’s a bit more demanding in how it integrates with existing sites and themes.
We’re working on making theme integration easier in the next major release of BuddyPress.
This totally depends on what possible custom data you need from the database, and what you’re comfortable doing. Basically, the question is too vague, and doesn’t give me enough of an idea of what you actually need to do.
Your sidebar is calling ‘the_content’ somehow during the main query loop, still in a sidebar. Basically, the theme is doing something really weird that it shouldn’t be.
I still don’t understand. Just make them the same slug? The WordPress page will always win.
Closing this one too. No reason to bump all of these.
Bumping your own topic, along with several others, is pretty lame. Closing this one since it’s old, and is only going to fragment the conversation more than it already is.
the breadcrumbs still link to the forums-index page
I don’t understand. Where do you want your “Forums” link to go, other than your forums?
