Thank you both – changing the permalinks to default and saving fixed my issue.

I confirmed that when I switch from default back to a day and name structure it breaks again.

Thanks for your help!

I’m not sure but I think you can try by switching to another theme and then see the result. Best of luck!!!

It looks like bbPress is checking if the current theme is compatible with bbPress.

On line 357 of your twenty ten them does it have: add_theme_support( 'bbpress' ); by any chance?

Good luck!

Hi, I’ve got the same problem :

Warning: Creating default object from empty value in /homez.51/nexeo/www/javanex/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-core-compatibility.php on line 84

My wordpress has 3.4.1–fr_FR version and I installed bbPress on version 2.0.3 with the extension manager. My theme is actually BlogoLife.

In addition, when I move to “bbPress (Twenty Ten)” theme, and only for this one, the warning change :

Warning: Creating default object from empty value in /homez.51/nexeo/www/javanex/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/functions.php on line 357

Does anyone has an idea on this ?

I need a section like there is on this forum, for MY TOPICS, where users can see the topics and replies they have posted, rather than searching through pages of posts. This is default in bbpress for group forums, but I have sitewide forums.

My members are complaining that they can’t find topics they participated in, or started. Ideally, I want two pages. One to show the user’s topics participated in, another to show a user’s topics started.

Any help would be greatly appretiated, and I can donate to anyone that helps via paypal for your time and effort.

Unable to activate bbPress V-2.0.3.

System Info-

WP 3.4.1

bbPress V-2.0.3

BuddyPress Version 1.5.6

Theme = Simple WP Community Theme Version 1.6. or BuddyPress Default Version 1.5.6

I receive the below error as soon as I try to activate the plug-in:

Server error

The website encountered an error while retrieving http://thetechnerds.khanz.net/wp-admin/plugins.php?activate=true&plugin_status=all&paged=1&s=. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.

Here are some suggestions:

Reload this webpage later.

HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected condition was encountered while the server was attempting to fulfill the request.

The main website opens but wp-admin area keeps showing the above error. I have to rename/remove the plugin folder through FTP to be able to get back on the Dashboard. When I am able to access Dashboard the below error appears

“The plugin bbpress/bbpress.php has been deactivated due to an error: Plugin file does not exist.”

I have confirmed that the file is there. Used auto-installation as well as manual upload of plug-in files, but no luck.

Please suggest.

That’s fairly accurate.

You don’t have to create a child theme or any of that unless you want to customize the default bbPress theme (bbp-theme-compat). In that case just copy the files you want to customize into your WordPress theme directory and bbPress will use those instead.

Thank you for reply,

After searching for 1 day. I think i should buy the complete template with include the bbpress, buddypress, etc.

[aretzer2]

I see this message when I go to Appearance->Child Theme:

Your active theme does not include bbPress template files. Your forums are using the default styling included with bbPress.

How do I add a template for bbPress? I am using Suffusion for the rest of my site and I have the Suffusion BP Pack.

[Jaja..]

bbPress.org still runs on version 1.0 It’s a Stand Alone version but i don’t know where to download it.

Here are the plugins for this version

https://bbpress.org/plugins/

Still i think it’s better to use bbPress 2.+ version because it works much better with WP.

Even if you’d install the bbPress 1 version you still can’t have the bbPress forum layout because it was custom made for them and never a default theme.

[Lynq]

If I have any problems this big then the following things I do in this order to try and rectify it is:

– Go to settings > and re-save your permalinks

– Switch to a default theme and make sure your theme is compatible

– Disable plugins one by one to check you don’t have a conflict.

Good luck!

[pornpoj]

Hi,

I need your advice,

When I look at bbpress.org, I like this plugin very much because it look clean and nice.

But once, I install plugin (automatically version 2.0.3), I found many difference things e.g.

– My forums does not have the possibility to upload avatar picture

– The input box not like bbpress.org

– The forum list has many information messages which I don’t want to see

– The login, join, register are not shown

Please advise me how can I make it look same or similar to this forum. If there is the team to make change for me with small amount of money, please suggest me to.

Thank you.

Hi Martin,

if you are using the default bbPress, then in most cases the CSS indicated will work. The only exception would be, with some themes, that you may have to also (or instead) make the #content area 100% width as well. Also, in some themes you have the #aside as well (or instead) of the #sidebar.

As I don’t know what theme you are using (link?), please use firebug to identify the element ID or Class that is surrounding the bbPress DOM elements.

[Jared Atchison]

FYI about Genesis theme compatibility.

When you do decide to upgrade to bbPress 2.1 you will need to use a plugin.

Genesis compatibility was removed from bbPress 2.1 and is now wrapped in a plugin (below). The plugin also provides some other fixes the 2.0.x compatibility doesn’t.

The problem I had before is still here, and so I still need to change what the Archive Page shows. Changing the settings as said above worked at first, but now bbPress reverted back to showing the forum Archives on http://mysite.net/forums/ instead of what I put on my WordPress page at that location.

In my site’s main menu, I have a link called “Forums” that leads to “http://mysite.net/community/forums/”. This page is the custom page I made, to show the forum_id’s of my two forum categories, rather than showing the forum Archives.

My WordPress theme has a breadcrumbs system, as does bbPress. On the page that I created, WordPress says my breadcrumb path is:

Home » Community » Forums

While bbPress says it’s:

Home › Forums › Community › Forums

bbPress has this annoying thing about insisting that if you are inside the forums, it will add extra “sub-menus”, or path items, or whatever you call them, to your breadcrumbs.

In the bbPress settings page, I set my “Archive Slugs > Forums base” to “archives”, rather than the default “forums”. For “Single Slugs > Forum prefix”, I unchecked the box “Prefix your forum area with the Forum Base slug (Recommended)”.

bbPress seems to hate playing nicely with your site’s permalinks and breadcrumbs. I’ve always had this problem, ever since I started using bbPress.

I would be more than happy to hack up bbPress a bit so that I can fix the breadcrumbs and permalinks myself. I consider this a very persistent issue, as I see many people to this day wondering how on earth to get their forums to display at the proper location.

If there’s anything I can do to help get this problem fixed more permanently, I’d be more than happy to help.

[icandygraphics]

I figured out that bbpressbbp-includesbbp-extend-genesis.php forces full-width content if you are using a Genesis theme or child theme. I changed the full-width-content to content-sidebar in that file, and now all my archive pages have a sidebar. I know I’m not supposed to just edit the files and save them back to the same location, though. Where should I put my version for my child theme?

[craftcore]

Oh my goodness, this was driving me CRAZY! I figured out a solution that I hope will help you budddypress + bbress users out too!

Go to loop-single-reply.php in the bbpress theme files.

Find the line:

<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'sep' => '<br />' ) ); ?>

This seems to be what is generating the avatar by default, so I commented it out and used the following code instead:

<?php // bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'sep' => '<br />' ) ); ?>



<?php



$replyauthor = bbp_get_reply_author_id();



if ( function_exists( 'bp_core_fetch_avatar' ) ) :

echo bp_core_fetch_avatar( array(

'item_id' => $replyauthor,

'type'     => 'full',

'width'    => 100,

'height'  => 100

));

endif;



?>

My forums are happy and unfuzzy now. Hope it works for you too!

[icandygraphics]

Thank you Lynq. I knew that I was having a conflict between my archive page and my page that I created called “Forums.” What I really want to do is add a sidebar to my archive page, but I am confused as to why it doesn’t already have one. I tried copying the file bp-themes/bp-default/archive.php into my child theme and adding

<?php

/*

Template Name: Archive

*

* @package BuddyPress

* @subpackage Theme

*/

but it still isn’t using that as the template for my archive page. Any thoughts?

[wpmhweb]

Hello,

I am almost finished configuring bbPress and I just notice trying to publish a page with the URL mydomain.com/forums that it shows the default forums template and not the page that I have created with the shotcodes. There is anyway to fix this? I would like to have my own custom /forums page display.

Thanks for the help!

[Lynq]

I think I saw a similar problem to this on the forums recently.

A page called “Forums” and having your base slug as “Forums” will conflict with each other. If you visit yoursite.com/forums and your forum base slug is set to /forums it takes you to the archive and not the page.

Check out the post and see if it helps, be warned I didn’t read it 100% through

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-do-i-use-the-bbp-single-forum-idforum_id-shortcode-in-a-template-file

Good luck!

[MTPrower]

That was the problem. You see, under the Settings page for bbPress, there is the Archive Slugs section. Under this is two settings: “Forums base” and “Topics base”. Due to the wording, I never knew that having the “Forums base” setting at its default, which is “forums”, I would never be able to use my WordPress-made custom forums page at http://www.mysite.com/forums , always getting the archives page instead of what I put in shortcodes on my custom page.

Maybe the labels for those settings should be clarified, and the default setting changed. I see lots of people having trouble with this part, and I’ve been using bbPress for a year and just discovered the answer.

Thanks for replying. I appreciate it. If I knew some PHP, and my site was done and I could spare some time, I’d help you with bbPress a bit. I know it must suck not having very many people helping out…

[MTPrower]

I found the bug. You cannot make the “Forums” page that you put shortcodes into a parentless page. If the page is http://www.mysite.com/forums , then going to that URL will only take you to the archive page. Actually, it seems there I might be able to edit that in the settings page. I just had no idea that THAT was what that setting meant. I’m going to go take a look.

I’ve been using bbPress for about a year, and I just NOW discovered what was wrong with my permalinks. I think maybe the “archives” part of the settings page should be set to the word “archives”, not “forums” by default, so people don’t have trouble with this.

Anyway, I’m gonna go mess with that setting and see what happens. I will post my results here for future people to see…

[icandygraphics]

I am using a customized child theme, which has a default layout with a sidebar. My activity, members, and register pages are all using the default template of my child theme, and the sidebar is showing. I am having trouble with the forums page, though. If I add a page called “Forums”, select the default template, insert the shortcode [bbp-forum-index], and add the page to my menu, it looks great and has the sidebar. However, if I put “forums” as the Forums Base slug, then the page goes to full-width content with no sidebar. If I put “forum” as the slug, the page looks good, but as soon as you use the breadcrumbs to navigate, it takes you to http://www.example.com/forum, which has the full-width content. I think it might have something to do with the template hierarchy, but I don’t know enough about that to figure this out. Can anyone help?

[maf2874b]

My new forum is not showing a sidebar as the other pages in my network blog install is doing, correctly. Any tip on how to remedy this?

I also get this but not sure if it has anything to do with the sidebar not showing.

“Your active theme does not include bbPress template files. Your forums are using the default styling included with bbPress.”

Thanks.

[zuckerbaby]

I’d like to have the topics have the newest replies at the top, rather than the oldest as it is by default.

Fixes I’ve found here say to edit the topic.php file, but I don’t have a topic.php file.

I also search for the code and can’t find it in any of my files.

Which file in Twentyten do I edit, and what lines?

Thanks!

____________

BTW, This did not work for me.

“Find get_thread( $topic_id, $page ) in /topic.php and change it to get_thread( $topic_id, $page, true ).”

Should I be editing page-create-topic.php, form-topic.php, single-topic.php… or what?
