So my bbPress forum worked fine for a few months. I can’t remember if I updated anything but since a few weeks it doesn’t work anymore.
The problem is, that it doesn’t show the content of the forums. There’s the heading of the forum but nothing else. Here’s how it looks like:
http://bookish.brokenstars.de/forums/
http://bookish.brokenstars.de/forums/forum/bookish-intern/
http://bookish.brokenstars.de/intern/ (normal site with shortcode)

I’m using WordPress 3.5 and bbPress 2.2.3
Nothing seems to help. I’ve repaired and reset all the forums. I’ve deleted the plugin and the data from the database. I’ve reset the permalink structure… but it just doesn’t show up anymore.

Does anyone have an idea what the problem could be?
Thanks!

This is a great discussion, and thanks for the fantastic post, John!
I have a client who has a 3.4.1 multisite install with custom users roles. She wants certain of her users, who aren’t admins, to be able to (Condition 1) moderate their new bbPress forums – 2.1.3. But, she doesn’t want them to even be able to (Condition 2) even see the other plugins in the Dashboard. I’m concerned about using manage_options because I don’t know whether it would fulfill condition #1. What is the best way to set this up?

@yellowwinter bbPress 2, aka the “bbPress Plugin” is the future of bbPress, and I’d wager it’s quickly becoming more prevalent than bbPress 1.1 and older. Any plans on that end?

[Stephen Edgar]

It is being put in the following container’twocol’

`.twocol {
width:50%;
}`

From your CSS http://coldnosesbook.com/wp-content/themes/pinboard/style.css ~ Line #570

You might be best contacting the theme authors for tips on the best way to integrate bbPress with the theme.

[Stephen Edgar]

Probably a conflict with another plugin.

Try disabling all your other plugins before activating bbPress and then enable each plugin one by one to try and find what plugin might be causing a conflict.

[Stephen Edgar]

I have not tried this (nor have I tried a custom pomo myself yet) so how well this would all work and fit together could get nasty quite quickly 🙂

You could setup WordPress as a ‘multisite’ and have custom PO MO files on each site…

– ‘production’ server: WP 3.4, S2Member Pro v120703 & bbPress 2.2.3 <- output buffering error on Users page
– 'development' server: WP 3.4, S2Member Pro v120703 bbPress 2.2.2 and/or 2.2.3 <- no error

List of plugin differences between servers:
Plugin Prod Dev
Advanced Custom Fields 3.1.6 3.5.0
Affiliates —– 2.1.5
Affiliates Pro 2.2.1 —–
Affiliates Pro s2Member Integration 2.0.1 —–

I have just sent you an email to see where we can go from here.

There are no known bugs regarding shortcodes so they should work on your site.

• Create a new WordPress page via /wp-admin/post-new.php?post_type=page
• Give the page a title
• Add for example to login shortcode `[bbp-login]` to the page content
• Click publish and view your new page

– ‘production’ server: WP 3.4, S2Member v??? & bbPress 2.2.3 <- Produces the error in your OP
– 'development' server: WP 3.4, S2Member v??? bbPress 2.2.2 and/or 2.2.3 <- Does not produce the error

So what are the differences between your 'almost identical configuration'?

I go through the standard plugin search, installation and activation sequence… only to have my entire wordpress site not display at all afterwards. After pressing the “activation” link for bbpress I get forwarded to the “about” page and it displays a blank page… no admin tool bar, nothing… just white. Same goes for the root of my wordpress site. I remove the bbpress folder from wp-content>plugins and the entire site re-appears.

any thoughts?

[csacpa]

I am very new to WordPress/bbPress and am teaching myself through forum posts. I am stuck right now and have searched but cannot find a clear answer to this problem.

I have created several forums here:

However, I can’t figure out why the archive page displays in two columns, while the actual forum pages display in one column, which is what I want.

Thank you for your help!

Tried to import from my current vBulletin 4.2 to bbPress 2.2.3 using the bbPress import function, all forum, topic and replies were migrated correctly however the users we not migrated and are under the admin account, I tried it twice and made sure I checked the convert users. Not too sure what I did wrong.

I also have buddypress installed as well if that matters.

[limitx3m]

I’m having the same issue as well. I noticed that the tracking ticket says it has been fixed, but I’ve got nothing. 🙁

I’m willing to help out however I can to help improve this functionality. I know a lot of people would love to leave vbulletin’s shotty service and rip off tendencies after what they did to us with 4 and want to do to us with 5.

If staff wants me to make a new ticket, then let me know!

Thank you guys!

Thank you! Worked to fix also my WPML (2.6.1, 2.6.3) issue related to this.

[Umbrovskis.com]

thanks @082net https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-2-2-3-released/page/2/#post-124538 that worked.

PS. Fixed issue with WPML plugin.

[allenmccabe]

This plugin was a fresh install on the Production server; the Development server has almost identical configuration. Upgrading Development plugin of bbPress to 2.2.3 does NOT reproduce this error.

[hironroy]

I ran into the same issue w/ bbPress 2.2.3. Just the content is cleared out when a new topic has validation errors; the tags and topic type fields are preserved. I directly modified bbPress 2.2.3 in order to resolve this issue on my installation:

1. Navigated to bbpress/includes/common/template-tags.php line 1605
2. Removed the “if” statement so that the $post_content gets set by calling ‘bbp_get_form_topic_content’
   //if ( bbp_is_edit() ){
$post_content = call_user_func( 'bbp_get_form_' . $context . '_content' );
// }

I did some minimal testing and the behavior of other topic editing seems to be unaffected by this change, and the change makes the content persist on New Topic Validation Error responses

[@mercime]

Looks like this issue has been resolved.

[lesliemb]

Unfortunately, shortcodes aren’t working for me, either.

Any other leads?

Thanks so much for your help.

[Stephen Edgar]

This is now fixed in /trunk/ and will be in the next release of bbPress, I also confirmed it in ticket #2138 (see the screenshot here)

@Rasheed I also recommended @Yousef-Matios post on the Polyglots blog here. regarding the Arabic translation of bbPress which he has and is more than willing to share. Can you also reply to that thread and update Yousef on how he can best help get the remaining Arabic translations needed at https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/dev/ar/default

[Stephen Edgar]

See this thread here and contact @yousef-matios as he is more than willing to share the Arabic translation he has for bbPress.
