@rewindcaz I actually disabled all of the default avatar systems that WordPress provides and created my own with a few small functions. I needed a custom made plugin because each avatar on the site is unlocked when you receive a new card to your collection.  Users can also customize their chosen avatar with nine alternative colours, which helps provide individuality.

As I’ve received a ton of feedback from the Rats Clan bbPress forum I’m going to start blogging about my code – I’ll make sure this is one of my posts! 🙂

I always presumed ‘closed’ meant no new topics, but still allowed replies until this morning! I would love to have a workaround for this, as currently my members can’t enter my competition topics.

Is playing with function bbp_get_topic_caps() the best way to go? I would be satisfied in replacing all ‘closed’ forums with the ability to still reply.

Not be the most elegant solution, but it’ll have to do for now:


//redirect user profile topic permalinks to fix pagination, as we have topics embedded on profiles
function rats_redirect_user_pagination( $pagination ) {
// Get bbPress
$bbp = bbpress();
if (bbp_is_single_user() && is_array($pagination) && isset($pagination['base']) ) {
//if topics has not been included in the url yet
$check_topic = strpos($pagination['base'], '/topics/page/');
if($check_topic === false) {
$pagination['base'] = str_replace('/page/','/topics/page/', $pagination['base']);
}
}
//return pagination array
return $pagination;
}
add_action('bbp_topic_pagination', 'rats_redirect_user_pagination', 99, 1 );

Thanks for my diagnosis Stephen – that’s a massive help.

The site is so new that I’m not sure anyone other than myself has even used a second page. So there’s no rush. I’ll try to work on a fix this upcoming weekend.

Thank you for your kind words, I’m glad you like the design! 🙂

Disabled my cache plugin and re-saved permalink and forum settings with no luck.

I’ve scanned my custom code to see if there’s a custom hook I’ve played with in the past that’s overwriting it – but can’t find anything.

Here’s the problem page: http://www.ratsclan.com/users/admin/

I’ve tried re-saving both my Permalinks and Forum settings and I’m still having issues.

My settings are:
Common Settings
Post name

Archive Slugs
Forums base – forums
Topics base – topics

Great news to hear about 2.2 and thanks for your support John. Unfortunately I’m working to a deadline, so I’m forced to use any temporary fix for now.

From notes mentioned in threads above I followed these directions and have been able to re-move the fatal error…

– Stripped out the entire BBP_Twenty_Ten class in my child’s functions.php file
– Temporarily disabled the plugins folder by renaming it ‘plugins~’
– Reload the admin page to get back on the dashboard
– Rename the plugins folder back to its original ‘plugins’
– Re-enabled the updated bbPress version on the Plugins page
– Re-save my Permalinks and Forum settings

Sorry John, my mistake whilst in a panic: it is the child theme’s function.php which is causing the error, the line: class BBP_Twenty_Ten extends BBP_Theme_Compat

I have custom code in the main theme function file, but not the child. Strange that I have been updating bbPress fine with that exact same custom code during the past two updates.

Another forum post of interest. Could it be related to a priority issue? I’m really not sure where to begin looking through my custom code – so any clues will help.

I’ll keep digging and report if I can diagnose anything more.

[sambedingfield]

Just a heads up, I’ve been reading this and similar posts and I can’t find a solid solution.

I can confirm I wasn’t updating anything other than bbPress and I do not have BuddyPress installed nor any other plugins conflicting.

Any help will be much appreciated!

Just got exactly the same issue whilst updating today. Fatal error: Class ‘BBP_Theme_Compat’ not found in …/wp-content/themes/***/functions.php on line 32

I had just updated to bbPress 2.1.3
– Using WordPress 3.4.2
– ‘toolbox‘ theme
– a child theme which was a clone of bbPress 2.0 standard theme

Line 32 of my functions.php reads if ( ! function_exists( 'toolbox_setup' ) )
