thought i had this figured out. I was able to see forum and topics and forum.pureoffroad.com/discuss/

thought i might set wordpress to redirect to that as the home page and that might solve my problem, but before i could do that i get error 500 and nothing works at all now. Whats the deal? I’ve always loved wordpress because it’s so easy to use. figured bbpress would be the same

[engjake]

I’ve searched all day for a solution that works for me to no avail. I have WordPress 3.4.1 installed. I then installed buddy press 1.5.6. After which i selected the sitewide forums which initiated the auto install of bbpress.

i then changed the slugs to make sure they are different.

i created a sample forum.

http://forum.pureoffroad.com/discuss/forum/atv-tires-and-wheels/

then created a sample topic:

http://forum.pureoffroad.com/discuss/topic/yamaha-atv-tires-and-wheels/

If i browsed to the website there are no forums or topics visible, even though following the direct link from the admin… those pages do exist.

i deleted the original ‘forums’ page created by the buddy press install, then created a new page called discussion boards and affiliated the forums with that page under the buddy press settings – thinking maybe a fresh page might show the forums and topics. Still nothing there:

http://forum.pureoffroad.com/discussion-boards/

i can’t get forums and topics to show up on the live site. Any ideas. I’ve searched all over the place and installed and uninstalled about 10 times today trying to get an installation that works.

xmasons: Fixed. I incorrectly unbumped the version back to 2.0.

Anyone having issues with 2.0.3 should try bbPress 2.1 RC2.

[zurdog]

Since BBpress is now a plugin to wordpress, how do I set it up so that bbpress is really the only thing running. In other words, I want to run bbpress as the index and have the look and feel look like bbpress v1?

I’ve looked all over the forums, and am not sure the answer is listed.

[xmasons]

What happened to the 2.0.3 plugin in the WordPress plugin directory?

[docchewbacca]

Thank you for the explanation Jaja.

Unfortunately I have a very cheap provider. I can try and ask them to increase the limit, but before that I’d like to be sure that this is actually the issue.

The thing I don’t understand is why this was working well a few hours ago, and now it’s needing more memory. I didn’t add any plugin. I even removed the existing forums and re-started bbPress from the beginning. It currently has just one forum with just one topic in it.

What I did today (between the moment it was working and the moment it was broken) is try various plugins (all uninstalled now), especially Buddypress, Mingle Forum, Simple:Press, Role Scoper and Groups.

Note that the individual forum page and the topic page work fine. It’s only the main page with the list of forums that generate the error message.

[Jaja..]

@Docchewbacca

Contact your hosting-provider and ask them to upgrade the PHP memory. Give them an example of your Error and they’ll know what to do.

http://ocaoimh.ie/2012/05/16/fatal-error-allowed-memory-size-of-67108864-bytes-exhausted/

Those memory bumps only work if your hosting-provider let you increase this memory. If they don’t and have blocked this feature you have to contact them and ask them friendly to increase it for you.

Most providers don’t care and help you with this problem but sometimes the very cheap M.F&#krs providers don’t and start complaining about everything that is wrong in this world.

[docchewbacca]

I’m having the same error but not after upgrading anything.

It worked just fine this morning, throughout the day I installed and uninstalled various plugins (after testing their features and feeling unsatisfied). My site has the same plugins set as this morning, same bbPress and WordPress versions, no other plugin has been updated, but now when I’m trying to reach the main bbpress forums page, I have this error message.

“Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 72 bytes) in /home/users5/a/asceeceteo/www/wordpress/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 137”

@jaredatch: I tried the memory bump plugin but it didnt fix the problem

If you are using the bbPress plugin, try my plugin at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/forum-restrict//

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

[John James Jacoby]

It’s possible, but I don’t see why you’d want to run bbPress 2.x and bbPress 1.x side-by-side if you didn’t have to (like BuddyPress users currently need to do.)

It’s much easier to do this with bbPress 2.x, and WordPress multisite. Just create a new site, and activate bbPress on it, too. Boom; two forums.

[John James Jacoby]

Best changelog I have is in our trac. It outlines every ticket and code change since 2.0 was released.

Thanks for your offer to help. What do you want to do? You can basically write your own ticket. If you’re familiar with IRC, you can join #bbpress on freenode; many of us idle there together to chat about what we’re working on.

[MTPrower]

2.0.3. bbPress 2.1 will be out soon? Do you have a changelog I can look over? I’m excited to see it.

Also, I’m putting my site on hiatus. I’m tired of it for a while. But you know what I would like to do? I’d like to help with bbPress. I think the total integration with WordPress that bbPress has is one of the best things ever accomplished for the blogging platform. I would love to assist, do some testing, give some of my thoughts, help promote bbPress, and even help with some new features that I have been hoping or wishing I could see in bbPress’s future.

I don’t know how much help you guys get, but it doesn’t seem like a lot. I wouldn’t ever want to see bbPress die. I want to help, if I may. I know very little about PHP or HTML, but every coder should have a team, to help with the things that coders aren’t best at. I want to help!

[Jaja..]

Maybe very stupid to ask but where can i view a list of what’s new for bbPress 2.1 ?

Thanks,

[stealthology]

Hi all,

Is there any way to display the latest posts in a specific forum on a regular WordPress template page?

Thanks.

Dan

[AAShepAA]

I just updated the the current WordPress and current bbPress and have the same thing. Did you find any solutions?

[AAShepAA]

Newest WordPress and newest update of bbPress – I have no content in my forum posts! All my forums are there – just no content. I could really use some help.

BTW – site s at http://www.stratoliner.me

Thanks,

[Pixeldrum]

I was in the same situation. Using twentyeleven with WP 3.4. Get the twentyeleven extension where you can add a sidebar to all pages easily.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/twenty-eleven-theme-extensions/

The plugin works with the new version.

[too_pandish]

I’m trying to remove the publish_topics capability from the subscriber role when using the bbpress wordpress plugin.

I checked here for reference, but it may not apply to the plugin version.

http://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/

here’s the code I am using in my theme’s function.php

function bbp_remove_subscriber_caps(){

$role_object = get_role( 'subscriber' );

$role_object->remove_cap( 'publish_topics' );

}

add_action( 'init', 'bbp_remove_subscriber_caps' );

When I print the $role_object it shows:

[capabilities] => Array

(

[read] => 1

[level_0] => 1

[edit_topics] => 1

[publish_replies] => 1

[edit_replies] => 1

[assign_topic_tags] => 1

)

Which should mean that subscribers can’t create new topics… but the option still shows up on their dashboard. It does however say “You cannot create new topics at this time.” on the forum page within the site. So it seems to be partially working…

Is this a bug or am I just doing it wrong?

[LautaroArino]

Hi! My BBPress is working fine, this is more a question on what is possible to do. I would like to have a restricted forum only accesible by me and my coworkers. That is, they can only access it when they log in as for example editor or coworker. Is there any way to achieve this or anything similar?

Also, what kind of forum is this one we are using now? I can see its the same as in WordPress.org.

Thank you,Lautaro.

[Emil Uzelac]

Bytes exhausted is most likely due to a “bad” plugin, something else other than bbPress of course. Please see our Theme Reviewers List and see last couple of answers about that: https://lists.wordpress.org/pipermail/theme-reviewers/2012-March/008625.html

This was about the Theme, but it can apply to plugins as well.

P.S. Using bbPress on my client site and they’re on a shared GoDaddy hosting and bytes exhausted was never an issue and that’s because there are no plugins that “eat” the memory.

My 2c

Thanks,

Emil

I just updated to the latest WordPress and also the newest bbPress plugin. It broke my custom theme so I went to the stock TwentyEleven theme with no modifications to bbPress.

All is OK (working) – except that I have no sidebar on my /Forums page. How can I add that so that my widgets show up? Must be simple but I just can’t seem to figure it out.

Thanks ahead of time for any help offered.

I found it wasn’t a matter of which CSS tag to use. WordPress uses the CSS file from inside wp-includes/js/tinymce and it overrides your style. I assume that’s because tinymce should ignore your theme in the backend and just look the same regardless of theme in the backend.

But this poses an issue with bbpress using tinymce on the front end.

Personally, I around this by following this tutorial:

[hinduismfacts]

Hi, my forum address is http://hinduismfacts.org/hindu-forum. I am using wordpress version 3.3.2 and bbpress 2.0.3.

When I or any user try to post a topic or a reply on the forum, the following error occurs.

The page isn’t redirecting properly

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept

cookies. Try Again.

The user has to log in again or use back button to go to forum then.

But surprisingly, topic gets posted.

Please help.

[enderandrew]

The CK Editor for WordPress won’t allow captions on images, and will break posts that have captions. So, I can’t use it on my site.

I’m back to square one with my initial issue. I can’t theme the TinyMCE editor used by bbPress now. Can someone point me to what CSS tags I should use?
