  • Thanks for your reply. Do I presume from this that the error message:Fatal error: Class ‘BBP_Theme_Compat’ is a BuddyPress error? So I will need to find help with BuddyPress to fix this
    (I updated 9 plugins all at once & this included bbPress & BuddyPress latest versions-so it would seem likely the problem is with the BuddyPress plugin update).

    Hi JJJ

    Thanks for your reply.

    I asked this question mainly as I am not sure which bbPress forum style I like best-bbPress 2010 style or bbPress Kakumei style and wondered if I could somehow use both styles on the same blog.

    I’m sure it is possible to do this but it is not really practical or a good idea!-I should decide which bbPress style I want/prefer and stick with one! Much simpler/easier!

    I suppose if I had the time I could theme up my own bbPress theme as a cross between 2010 & Kakumei but this could take me too much time so I will not try that now!

    My blog actually runs with WordPress multisite so I could always do a new site but this was not really what I meant (but thanks for mentioning it).

    Lastly I’m not really sure what you mean by running bbPress 2 & bbPress 1 side by side like BuddyPress users do? I originally set my blog up for BuddyPress but as I couldn’t seem to get group & sitewide forums to work together I have disabled BuddyPress forum and now am using bbPress forum only.

    Best wishes

    OK-I figured this out and have fixed it-all sorted.

    It is a little confusing but I will try and explain how I think this now works for me.

    I have some confusion between BuddyPress forums and bbPress forums on my blog (the blog is enabled for both bbPress and BuddyPress but I have not been able yet to run both BP & bbP forums together? Is that even possible?.

    Anyway for now I only want to run bbPress forum and I have disabled BuddyPress discussion forums).

    So the bbPress archive slug I originally had was ‘forums’ & that was adding to the whole BuddyPress / bbPress confusion! So I deleted that forum (trashed it) and changed the bbPress archive slug to forums_bbp and have now made a new forum page and topic and now the links are fine and the content displays!

    I hope now I am getting to grips more with bbPress forums and I can start to use them more on my blog. After I get more experience with them I may try my hand with BuddyPress forums & possibly later try running both forums on my blog?! I will see (maybe it is not possible-but the docs say can run group & sitewide forums together?).

    Best wishes to all bbPress users (& BuddyPress users)

    Nice-thanks for sharing.

    For myself I have had major issues trying to run BuddyPress/bbPress on my blog and yet still I want to try bbPress forum plugin on another WordPress site of mine. Viewing yours is a help-I may have to look at your css styling & I certainly will want to look at what plugins will help run bbPress forum.

    Thanks & best wishes (enjoy your minecrafting!!it’ll never beat chess :-) lol!)
