Tushar, I’d really appreciate if you could create a new topic for your issue and also post the problem you’re facing while installing bbPress 2.0 on WordPress. Thanks!

Can any one help me for the installation of bbpress on wordpress.

[KRCSC]

Got the same problem, see here: http://www.krcsc.co.uk

It’s very annoying – have tried changing this (below) in loop-single-forum.php and a couple of other files:

<?php bbp_author_link( array( ‘post_id’ => bbp_get_forum_last_active_id(), ‘size’ => 100 ) ); ?>

But it hasn’t worked.

I’m using the User Photo plugin in WordPress which has thrown up another problem in that I now have three different sizes of avatars/gravatars/user photos – 14px, 80px and 100px. I’d prefer for them all to be 80px but to be honest just want them all the same size.

Also, does anyone know how I can centre them in the table in the main forum and tops pages??? For the life of me I can’t.

Can anyone help?

I have used this plugin for my bbpress which was integrated along with wordpress MU, and it worked perfectly.

[jomontvm]

@catlawsonNHS

Yes, this plugin is for the standalone bbpress, not for wordpress.

Sorry for the late response as I was concentrating completely on some other things.

Well I found how to get rid of “This forum contains 2 topics and 3 replies…”

I edited bbp-forum-template.php -> function bbp_get_single_forum_description

I shorted out the function by setting $retstr to an html break tag.

It does the job perfectly, but oh this is so wrong to do it this way 😮

Please, please tell me there is a better way to do this!!!

See #1626. Fixed here: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3488

[Escalibor]

I have searched for hours and I can’t make sense of how to customize a forum when using bbpress that was installed as a WP plug in.

I want to do two things:

1) get rid of the part that says “This forum contains 2 topics and 3 replies, and was last updated by John John 8 hours ago.”

2) I want to make the forum page wider than the default page width for my WordPress theme.

This seems like these should be very simple customization, but I just can’t figure out how to do it. Can someone point me to where I could learn step by step how to do this?

thanks,

Tom

Hi all,

I have searched the forums but can find nothing that discusses permalinks for the latest version install of WordPress and the BBpress plugin.

This is the issue: I have set up WordPress and then installed the BBpress plugin via the plugin installer.

I have added add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ ); to my theme and then built all the template pages required so that bbpress functions.

Here is the issue which I need help with:

With the Permalinks set to DEFAULT the integration works with no issues at all. However when I turn on pretty permalinks whilst the main forum page and topic pages work the USER and USER edit pages return a page not found.

I have looking at the SINGLE SLUG area and adjusted but I just resolve the 404 errors for these particular areas.

The one thing I did try is to set up a page called USER with he BBPRESS code. THis worked for the View page but not for the edit page.

Any help appreciated.

Paul

Hi guys ,

I couldn’t install v2 rc4 in my wordpress (latest version with mysql5 and php5). I have this error:

Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 32505856) (tried to allocate 77824 bytes) in /plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-common-template.php on line 1572

Any chance to resolve this problem without increasing my php memory? I just increased it up to 40MB with php.ini because of other plugins and my host (1&1) told me that 40 MB is the max they allow.

Thanks in advance

A.

I see the gravatar profile picture in the forum post and it’s 80 x 80. I would like them all to be 20 x 20, but I don’t know where to modify that. How and where can I do that?

Mark

P.S. I’m using the addin to WordPress.

[soggybiscuit]

Hi

I have found a patch that has worked for me and perhaps you may want to incorporate it into the plugin….

This is not my fix – details can be found at:

http:// brassblogs.com /cms-platforms/wordpress/wp_logout_url-agh

It worked for my installation so perhaps will be of general use.

Cheers

[alanchrishughes]

Does this little bit of code in the functions.php work? Is this the plugin you are talking about?

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1575

I’ve actually tried using the search bar here several times but it wasn’t working for a while, it was just bring up a broken page (I don’t think it was a 404). But it seems to be working now.

Is there any way to create two separate search bars? Or drop down options like in Buddypress to search Members, Groups, Forums, Posts?

[MartinM60]

Settings are set at 50 in the bbp_forums _per_page. Admin settings are also at 50.

WordPress settings are not limiting posts.

What confuses me most is that if I reduce these settings below 5, the displayed forums do not change..

What is more, there is no ‘next page’ tag to allow users to go beyond the 5 forums which are showing.

Topics are also limiting at 5., with the forum showing 1-5 of 37 topics, but no means to go beyond the first 5.

Any suggestions welcome.

[John James Jacoby]

You can do that fairly easily by reading the plugin descriptions. Please understand that this is a transitional period for bbPress, and things are going to be a little confusing for a while.

Also, keep in mind that any bbPress plugins in the WordPress repo, were there for a very, very specific use case, where bbPress stand-alone was integrated with WordPress. That type of setup is considered ‘advanced’ by most users, so the audience is limited.

Lastly, browsing the plugin repo for ‘bbpress’ probably isn’t going to really provide you the results you want anyways. You’ll have better luck looking for the functionality you want, and then seeing how nicely bbPress plays with it.

[John James Jacoby]

Perfect thanks. You’ll have a much better experience with it in the WordPress plugin repo; more downloads, users, etc…

[John James Jacoby]

Yes. Delete the plugin via your favorite FTP program, and see if things come back to normal. If so, you need to do some trouble shooting to see what the conflict is. If not, you still need to trouble shoot, but at least you know bbPress isn’t the problem.

[John James Jacoby]

Good question. The main reason it loads all the time is shortcodes. bbPress doesn’t have any way to know that the_content contains a shortcode when the head of the page is being processed, so including it all the time is the safest bet for most people.

If you want to dial in your installation, you can wrap the CSS enqueue in a is_bbpress() check. is_bbpress() returns true when WordPress is loading up a bbPress specific page.

[tomerwin]

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.

[kamimado]

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 71 bytes) in/home4/paperwin/public_html/yousuckatkorean/wp-includes/taxonomy.php on line 2624



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.
