Thank you John, but reinstalling what? BBPress? How can I do that even though I can’t log into my WordPress dashboard? Do I have to delete the plugin folder via FTP? And would that be enough to get my WP dashboard back?

More insight would be appreciated. Thank you for your help.

[John James Jacoby]

Are you able to see your DB, or see what ‘_bbp_forums_per_page’ is set to? If you go to Admin > Settings > Form, what are your “per page” settings set to?

Is there anything anywhere in your WordPress settings where you’ve limited your posts per page to 5?

[John James Jacoby]

You need to increase the amount of available memory on your server. I suspect you have other plugins or a theme framework active also, as WordPress + bbPress alone shouldn’t be pushing 32Mb.

Do a Google search on increasing available memory for your server configuration. There are different ways to do it depending on your level of access and/or experience.

I am using WordPress 3.2.1 and installed the bbpress 2.0 RC4 plugin. Immediately after activating the plugin, I could no longer access anything on my site. Not the home page. Not the Dashboard. What I keep getting are the following errors.

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 30720 bytes) in/home4/paperwin/public_html/yousuckatkorean/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-admin/bbp-settings.php on line 589

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 24 bytes) in/home4/paperwin/public_html/yousuckatkorean/wp-includes/taxonomy.php on line 2631

I searched the support forum for “error after install bbpress 2011” but couldn’t find much.

I tried re-uploading the bbpress plugin folder, but to no avail.

It seems like a WordPress issue rather than a server issue since the server is telling me that my error is coming from the WP directory, and I’m able to access other sites on the same server.

Any ideas on how to solve? Is it safe to simply delete the bbpress plugin folder? Will that solve the problem?

I don’t know what the ‘taxonomy.php’ file does. Should I re-upload a virgin copy of it?

Any help would be VERY much appreciated. Thank you!

regards,

Ryan

i’m having the same problem.

I’ve set up a bbpress forum and followed all of the instructions available on the documentation for integrating wordpress and bbpress. All is well until I attempt to Deep Integrate by editing the ‘bb-config.php’ file adding:

require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/../wp-load.php’);

When this line is included in the bb-config.php file I receive an “HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected condition was encountered while the server was attempting to fulfill the request.” in chrome and just a blank white page in firefox when attempting to view the bbpress page (mysite.com/forum) without first having signed into wordpress.

when i sign into wordpress first and then browse to mysite.com/forum, the bbpress front page appears but i have to resubmit credentials. if i sign out of bbpress then i get the error/blank page again.

of interest is when i replace define(‘WP_CACHE’, true); with define(‘WP_CACHE’, false); in wordpress’s wp-config.php file – the error/blank page issue goes away, i am able to access bbpress (mysite.com/forum) without first having signed into wordpress – but the user and cookie integration FAIL still occurs –

I appreciate any insight.

Starting a new topic as I don’t wish to clutter the VERY USEFUL threaded discussion here:

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-theme-compatibility

I’ve been over this topic a few times and can’t for the life of me get what I desire to work, or maybe it’s working and I’m missing something.

My current setup:

WordPress 3.2.1 (single site setup

**Child Theme**

BuddyPress 1.2.9 (disabled forums)

bbPress 2.0-RC-4

My goal is simple: I wish to use a different sidebar within my forum pages to display information that is forum specific, rather than my default sidebar’s contents and widgets.

I’m pretty fluent in WordPress, customizing things and the like. I understand how to display different sidebars and such within WordPress, depending on pages, etc..

My issue:

When I activated bbPress and navigated to my forum, everything displayed a treat. It was PERFECT (minus some CSS for colors and width, etc). I figured I would be cracking into the code just to get it to display correctly within my theme, but it put it right where it belonged within my theme.

When I decided I would like to take advantage of a different sidebar, things started to go out of place.

Following along with the discussion at http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-theme-compatibility, I:

1. Copied the files within wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/

into my child theme folder:

wp-content/themes/%child-theme-dir%/ – minus fuctions.php and style.css.

2. I added add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ ); into my child theme’s fuctions.php file.

Upon uploading and refreshing, my theme was broken. The forums were being displayed above everything. At the time, this wasn’t much of an issue, as I figured I could modify the files I copied within wp-content/themes/%child-theme-dir%/ much the same way I modified BuddyPress templates to work within my child theme, but alas, these modifications did not work. In other words – any modifications I made to files from plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/ into themes/%child-theme-dir%/ did not work.

3. Instead of “merging” bbPress functions.php and css/bbpress.css with my child theme files, I copied bbPress’s functions.php, created a new file within my child theme, copied the contents of bbPress’s functions.php into this file and included it from my functions.php file. I used an @import clause within my child theme CSS file to import bbpress.css. This all seemed to work, as using Firebug confirmed bbpress.css was imported.

Again I uploaded and refreshed, but the theme is still broken, much the same way it already was.

So for now I’ve reverted everything back to the “vanilla” install of bbPress, and everything is back to normal, minus a unique sidebar.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

That is why I cited it. That particular plugin obviously isn’t designed for, nor will work for bbPress 2.0. The link that was posted above returns 67 plugins. 4 of the first 8 results are from 2010 or earlier.

I was looking through 20 of those plugins the other day, and only one specified it worked with bbPress 2.0. That is why I posed the question. You answered that the WordPress plugin repository shouldn’t have any older bbPress plugins, but it does have plenty of old and incompatible plugins, hence the need to try and ascertain which actually are designed to work for bbPress 2.0.

[theurbantwist]

I like a lot of you on here obviously want bbpress to be implemented into my site.

And I like a lot of you have been having issues getting everything installed and working correctly.

I’m writing this post because I got things going finally on my site and it really isn’t as hard as I was making it and some of you are from what I’m seeing.

I just wanted to share a few simple things that I learned along my journey and hopefully this post can steer some of you in the right direction.

My forum is located at http://www.theurbantwist.com/community by the way. Ignore banner at top of page as that’s just a placeholder for when I get my official forum logo designed.

First things first…

I followed the instructions to a “t” from this post:

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-theme-compatibility

I have a custom theme, so I copied all files over, created child theme and all of that jazz, and added theme support.

At this point I just knew that I was going to be finished because when I went to dashboard, it stated that my theme now had bbpress support. Everything was coming together just as how the instructions above would lead me to believe.

The feeling was brief as when I actually went to the forum page, it was completely blank other than the breadcrumb trail at the top…my header and footer was present but everything else in the middle (the content area) was gone.

So me being familiar with wordpress themes and because I’m so used to “pimping” out themes for wordpress…I tried to do the same with bbpress, so I dissected and went over the code in those files I copied over into my main theme as if it were a wordpress theme and changed some things around thinking I needed to add some template tags here and there to get forum to work.

I did all of that and guess what? Nothing changed…same blank space as before.

So I then went into the plugin file itself and tried modifying the theme from there.

Still…nothing changed.

So I went backwards through the steps and started deleting steps to get back to where I was at originally and along the way, after I removed the theme support for bbpress, the forum showed up on my page. The CSS wasn’t matching my theme, but at least I had a start.

I then modified my css file to match certain elements of the twenty-ten default bbpress theme and mow I’m making progress. The theme is pretty much right where I want it be.

The only thing that was missing was that I wanted a topic listing of all topics on forum front page.

And here is where things really got easy and I wish I would have done this from the start.

I simply created a page.

I named page “community” to match my forum settings and I added 2 lines of code.

[bbp-forum-index]

[bbp-topic-index]

And voila! Now I have forum just the way I want it barring a couple of graphical changes which I’m working on.

The reason I went in detail about how I came to a solution for myself is that sometimes we do a LOT of unecessary stuff to get to where we need to be. I’ve wasted a LOT of time trying to manipulate the plugins files and my theme’s files, when all I needed to do was to create a page.

Bottom line and this is definitely something you should try if you are having problems.

1. Install and activate plugin.

2. Add a Page

3. Add those 2 lines of code above.

4. Publish.

You then have your forum. And that’s a start.

Cheers!

Out of the 67 plugins that come up, some go back to 2009, such as this one.

So I’m not sure it is safe to assume they all are designed for bbPress 2.0.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-latest-discussion/

Since many of the plugins don’t specify, and there isn’t a list here, I guess I’m going to have to go with trial and error.

[John James Jacoby]

The WordPress plugin repository should not have any bbPress 1.x plugins in it. The ones that are there have descriptions that explain what they do. It may not be obvious at first, but with a little reading it should become clear.

[John James Jacoby]

Sounds like st missing files. Try reinstalling and check back.

[tomerwin]

Hello everybody, good to be here

I installed this morning bbpress plugin (used the automatic installation without downloading and uploading the plugin’s files); the minute I activated the plugin, wordpress refreshed and I can’t access my WordPress dashboard. The blog works just fine (http:/www.egyptian-gods.info) but I can’t access the dashboard at http://www.egyptian-gods.info/wp-login , I tried to log on http://www.egyptian-gods.info/wp-login.php and it opens OK asking for my username and password, but the minute I log in, it takes me to my homepage egyptian-gods.info instead of the dashboard.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Is there a physical WordPress page with the “forums” slug?

[John James Jacoby]

The BuddyPress plugin repo is an automated theme layer on top of the plugins in the WordPress repo that are tagged with “BuddyPress”

The bbPress plugin repo is still a dedicated repo for 1.0 version plugins.

[John James Jacoby]

BuddyPress selfishly takes over the “register” slug. If you’d rather use bbPress, you’ll need to make a WordPress page with a different slug.

[Andre]

bbpress 2.0 uses WordPress themes. bbPress 0.x and 1.x use bbPress themes.

You would add the line “add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ );” to the functions.php file of a WordPress theme so it knows to play nice with bbPress 2.x.

[enderandrew]

That is a good point in that you can define other slugs to stop them from colliding. I just assumed that most people wouldn’t want two different forum implementations running at the same time with inconsistent experiences. But YMMV.

And to clarify, by Network Activated, are you referring to a multi-site install? I’m not running WordPress MU and Site Tracking is visible to me. That may be a BuddyPress bug I need to submit.

[enderandrew]

Sorry, I meant 1.0. But my point remains that if you search for bbPress in the WordPress plugin repository, there is no indication which plugins are designed for bbPress 1.0 and which are designed for 2.0.

[enderandrew]

Personally, I disabled the Forums functionality within BudddyPress, and let bbpress use the Forums slug. Then I created a blank page called Forums within the plugin “Page Links To” that redirects to the Forums slug.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/page-links-to/

Or you could simply use the bbpress shortcodes on the page.

Hi @anointed,

You dont need to run the Wizard, it is optional.

The wizard is for users than want to check all the users, if you dont want to check them, you don’t need to run it.

WangGuard has 2 features:

1.- Protect the registration page. (you don’t need run the wizard)

2.- Check all users. (need the wizard)

For check the users, you need to send some information but that information never is stored on WangGuard. WangGuard Plugin ask to WangGuard server if the user is a splogger or not and the server respond to the plugin yes or no.

The server only stores the user if you report a user as splogger or spam user.

If you have 40k user, WangGuard take a lot of time to check all of them, but thats like if you want to delete 40k user from your installation, you will need hours to do that.

In the nexts WangGuard versions, WangGuard users will be able to check all users marked as spam or splogger. We will add a new section for admin users and users will be sortable by differents fields. On WordPress users, we cannot sort the WangGuard Status, or we thing that. If some one know how to do that, it will be welcome.

@John,

WangGuard is in the WordPress plugin repository -> https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wangguard/

and in BuddyPress plugin repository -> https://buddypress.org/community/groups/wangguard/

See patch: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1622

[Jared Atchison]

I’ve been told all bbPress 2 plugins are hosted on WordPress.org in the plugin repository.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=bbpress

[John James Jacoby]

Regarding: 2, bbPress allows for easy customizing of its slugs, so you can prevent them from colliding. Admin > Settings > Forums

Regarding: 3, Site Tracking is only visible on Network Activated installations of BuddyPress. Otherwise it is on by default.

[John James Jacoby]

Since WangGaurd is for bbPress 2.0, it should be in the WordPress plugin repository so bbPress 2.0 users can download it via the WordPress dashboard.

[John James Jacoby]

Everything in bbPress and BuddyPress is coded using the WordPress actions API. There is absolutely no reason to modify any core files to do what you want to do. There are plenty of examples on how to accomplish what you need on the WordPress codex, and even in the bbPress code itself.

Before you start chopping out pieces of core code, try to understand why it’s there. If you have questions on a specific piece of code in bbPress, open a new topic and I’m happy to explain why it’s there.
