[Jeff]

I am using:
Wordpress Version 3.4.1
bbPress Version 2.1
BuddyPress Version 1.5.6
Tersus Theme Version 1.3 (http://themeforest.net/item/tersus-responsive-wordpress-theme/2343187)

I created a new Group, and then posted a new topic in that group. This is where the error is being thrown.

Here is a screenshot of what’s happening http://screencast.com/t/ZU0ohu061o4Q

Error says:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method stdClass::have_posts() in /home/…/…/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-reply-template.php on line 168

Notice also, that the page title being displayed is from one of the WordPress posts that came with auto-importing dummy data for the theme.

I know a link to the site would help, but I am working with a client who’s not comfortable getting the link out before site-live time. So, sorry about that.

I asked for help from WordPress Forum support, and was told that this was most probably a theme compatibility issue. So I went to the theme’s support forum.

Last night, the theme’s author/s were helpful enough to guide me through what I assume are the usual stuff in troubleshooting this kind of stuff.

Here are the things I’ve done so far:
1. Disabled all plugins apart from bbPress – this resulted to the forum giving me a 404
2. Enabled BuddyPress – this brought back the forums, but with the same issue
3. Emptied all sidebar widgets that have to do with the theme.
4. Used the other theme package (bbPress Twenty Ten).
5. Deleted the function referenced in the error. Led to some new error. This was a desperate, illogical attempt on my part so i undid that.
6. Deleted the wordpress post being shown in the page title. It just displayed the title of the next wordpress post in line.
Note: every time i check to see if that fixed it, i do a clear-cache-reload, just so i’m sure nothing in cache was giving me this headache.

I really hope someone could help out.. Has anyone seen this kind of error ever been documented elsewhere?

Paul

[pimarts]

Great!

[TFUME]

Done: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1905

Thanks a lot

[Paul Bearne]

No it will just be a option the “link to” dropdown

[pimarts]

I use your plugin and bbPress, but I’m not using the bbPress profiles, so I hope I don’t have to write around this functionality you’re adding 😉

[John James Jacoby]

Try:

bbp_get_user_profile_url( $user_id )

…where $user_id is an integer.

Hi Guys

I am the author who looks after http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/author-avatars and I have been asked to add the option to link to bbpress profile verse the wordpress profile

Got my bit working

untill I got to here

if (function_exists('bb_get_profile_link')) {
    $link = bb_get_profile_link('id='.strval($user->user_id));
}

and found that I am get “undefined function bb_get_profile_link()” as this is a post/page and not a bbpress page so my guess that bbpress code is not loaded.

So what is the best way to get the profile URL / load this function?

Many thanks

Paul

Weird. If you could create a bug ticket on our trac would be great.

There have been some changes in the repository to shift the “latest” to the plugin branche, so the links probably got broken there.

You can find the 1.1 branche here: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/1.1.

[wvanderzee]

Hi there,

Like to download the stand alone version 1.1 as listed on: http://bbpress.org/download/legacy/. But the link doesn’t seem to exist.

FYI: At the moment, I have a forum running using the stand alone version. I’ve planned migrating it to WordPress/bbPress, but for now like a copy of the stand alone installation package.

Thanks!

Wouter

Thanks for including SWNK in the examples list!

’twas my pleasure. Your forum does a very good job of being clean and readable, and you’ve clearly built a very active community around it.

NB bbPress site owners: You’ll want to follow this trac ticket to know when you can submit your bbPress-powered site to the official WordPress showcase.

The theme you are using ‘Nexus’ thinks that /forums is a WordPress page when in fact it is not and is reading the ‘subheader’ in this case ‘Suggestions’ from the last custom post type.

If you create a new WordPress page called ‘Forum’ and add the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] to this page and replace ‘Forums’ on your nav menu with the newly created ‘Forum’ page you should see the title now as ‘Forum’

You could also ask for help over at the Nexus support forum http://wpadaptive.com/forum/categories/nexus

Included with the plugin is a readme.html also other authors docs

— ‘Topics Replied To’ User Profile Empty?

I don’t have or see a ‘Topics Replied To’ section under eg. /users/username, only ‘Subscribed Forum Topics’, ‘Favorite Forum Topics’ & ‘Forum Topics Created’…

— The ‘recent replies’ widget indeed in the old version did include recent topics in its output. Much of the widget query code has been rewritten so I would say now that the widget works as per design 🙂

I have created a ticket to enhance some of the widget options, if you have anything to add, please do.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1903

Ok, a litle more info:

I run a bbPress + BuddyPress installation. And I put that function in the functions.php file of my WordPress theme.

It would remove the widgets inside. If needed you could remove the rest of the / entire sidebar with CSS. The advantage over a simple CSS hide is the fact that less code gets written to the browser / less code to download for the user.

Aside from that I use it to put the login widget at the top of the forums (with CSS) and remove all the other widgets.

Havent found definitive answers anywhere since most everyone who has tried to install a bbPress theme to a current version of the bbPress plugin for WP has discovered that the stock instructions on the bbPress.org wiki and elsewhere are outdated/wrong. If you are not using stock TwentyTen as your parent theme, bbPress theming is broken out of the box – you get a theme broken/not installed message from your admin panel.

When bbPress thusly reverts to its stock look it’s ugly, unusable, and broken. Currently my forums at txmma.com/forum do not work properly as a result. when you drill down and actually try to read a topic you cannot. no content comes up. That’s outside of the fact that aesthetically there’s nothing there you would want to use.

I was wondering if anyone has successfully installed a third party bbPress theme or rolled their own, with the plugin version of bbPress, when using a custom WordPress theme (i.e. not TwentyTen).

Copying the theme files as directed in the bbPress.org instructions is useless as many have discovered.

Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

Hi everyone

I used to have SMF installed (still does, closed it for “maintenance”). Installed the latest bbPress and WordPress 3.4.1

The forum seems to work fine, I cna post and see all posts when Im logged in as the administrator. I created a new common user and created a post but when not logged in or logged in as the new user (test) the post is gone (404. The requested page was not found).

I also have the stream as a widget and I can see the post and read it when Im logged in as admin but otherwise it’s gone.

I have been fiddling some with the slug names but I cannot see how that would mess things up (Forums base = forum and Forum slug = forums). I’d like to have the forum url to be mysite.pp.se/forum (tyrell-corporation.pp.se is my domain).

All help is appreciated

Hello all,

It’s been a while since I’ve used bbPress. I’m attempting to use v2.1 on a WordPress site with a custom template. However, when using bbp-theme-compat, the forum appears BELOW the sidebars. If I switch to twentyten, it appears ABOVE the sidebars.

http://www.wvko1580.com/forums/

Is this just a simple CSS tweak or do I need to try something else? Thanks!

Keith

bbPress overrides a few things to tell WordPress not to 404, but sometimes themes run extra queries that stomp what bbPress does. In that case, the theme is probably doing it wrong. What theme are you using?

[Lynq]

Hi there,

I actually had this issue with my custom plugin, it turned out that a recent version of wordpress has tightened the security on plugins I believe, so if the plugins are not coded correctly then it will cause the issue you are describing.

Have you updated all the plugins aswell?

[AAShepAA]

Little background will help:

I started with a standalone version of bbPress, deeply integrated. I have made each and every update to WordPress and bbPress, now on current versions. I have other sites with WordPress and bbPress but this is the only one that is quirky and the only one that was standalone.

The issue: several plugins I install will not give me access to their admin/configuration page. Site says I do not have proper permissions. I have tried deactivating all plugins and only activating one of the problem plugins to no avail. I still cannot get access to its settings. I am at a loss. Too many users to start over.

Lastly. Is there a list of things I can delete from the old standalone installation? Tables from the database??

Thanks for any help.

[Bookkus]

I am having some trouble with the layout of my forum. Once I add the shortcode to a new page the layout goes very strange. I have tried going to full-width with no result.
I am using custom community theme. My buddypress, wordpress, and bbpress are fully updated.

Thanks in advance for your help.

[Jeaz]

Hey,

I really like the remake and update, but please, it’s time to retire the old plugin repository. Not maybe retire it entirely, but it shouldn’t be the more promoted option over the 2.x one. The plugin link above should lead to the WordPress bbpress section or something like that, and have a link to the old repository from there, not the other way around. It’s time to move forward and stop confusing new users.
