I think something along the lines of the following might work though it is a BuddyPress guide it would be quite similar to do for bbPress.

bbPress 2.2.3 was released 11 December 2012

S2Member developer @WebSharks posted details of S2Member fixes in the following thread ~22 December 2012 https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/fix-for-users-of-s2member-and-bbpress-2-2/

I am ‘presuming’ S2Member/@WebSharks was testing against bbPress 2.2.3

This is the first time I have seen anyone mention the error you detail above.

Have you any other plugins recently updated that maybe the cause of this?

Have you tried any extra combinations of the plugins eg. bbPress 2.2.2 & S2Member v121213 to see if it is an S2Member issue rather than bbPress?

ps. I also see your thread on S2Members forum with no answers at the time I wrote this http://www.s2member.com/forums/topic/bbpress-2-2-3-fatal-error-on-users-page/

[Stephen Edgar]

See the following topic and note this is fixed for the next release of bbPress

[Stephen Edgar]

I’ll point you to have a read the following two threads first:

Allowing Participants to View Hidden Forums

How can I make private forums visible to visitors

They both link to https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2089#comment:6 which has some thoughts on potential directions for bbPress privacy & visibility of forums.

[Stephen Edgar]

You can find them listed on the following page but please take note of the big notice:

Linked below are the Subversion repositories for all of the retired bbPress 1.1 plugins. We’re committed to keeping them hosted here in perpetuity, though they should be considered retired and no longer active. https://bbpress.org/plugins/legacy/

[Stephen Edgar]

Is it the shortcodes you are looking for? https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

[Stephen Edgar]

Have a read of the docs on theme compatability to get your current theme working with bbPress
https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

[Stephen Edgar]

As this site is bbPress you should probably post this the BuddyPress forums http://buddypress.org

[Stephen Edgar]

This is fixed and will be in the next release of bbPress
(https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2138)

From that error it appears and is actually the case that not all of the files for bbPress were updated on your web host when you updated bbPress.

– Make a backup of your site and database

– Open your WordPress Admin Dashboard and go to Plugins

– Deactivate the bbPress plugin (It should already be deactivated)

– Delete the bbPress plugin and accept the confirmation that it will delete those files

– Download the bbPress plugin again from the ‘Add New’ plugins section

– Activate the bbPress plugin

You should be all good to go now presuming this time your web host has downloaded and extracted all the files correctly to your site.

ps. If you ever do need to download a current or previous version you can download them in .zip form to manually extract and upload via FTP to your web host via https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress/developers/
(The current version of bbPress at the time of writing is bbPress 2.2.3)

[Stephen Edgar]

Via the docs FAQ https://codex.bbpress.org/faq/

Plugin Conflicts
To try and resolve conflicts with other plugins please disable all your plugins except bbPress to see if the error persists. Re-enable each plugin one at a time and if things break again you should be able to now know which other plugin is causing the conflict.

[Stephen Edgar]

It looks like you have removed bbPress and installed Mingle Forums now

[Stephen Edgar]

If you have downloaded a new WordPress theme that includes bbPress support you activate the theme from the WordPress Dashboard -> Appearance -> Themes ( /wp-admin/themes.php)

There are also some docs here on Getting Started with bbPress

[Stephen Edgar]

Recover it from your backup or contact your web host to see if they have a backup

[nmskkk0]

i accidently removed config-bbpress folder in cpanel… how do i recover it back?

[Stephen Edgar]

Ignore any issues with the bbpress.org /topics/feed/ as this is an isolated bug here on bbpress.org

[Stephen Edgar]

You can test feeds with the W3C Feed Validator http://validator.w3.org/feed/

As to why your feed is failing I think is probably an issue with your web host as when I check your feed the results are “Server returned HTTP Error 404: Not Found” and I would expect IFTTT would also have problems parsing the feed.

Great base to start off with, I’ve done it like this myself. Too bad I didn’t start with it now, it could’ve saved me a lot of hours x)

Anyway, I have one problem. How do I add the forum descriptions beneath the forum headers? I’ve tried adding the_content() in a few places but no matter what I do the category description shows up.

So under the category and the forums the same description pops up. Any ideas?

Sincerely,
Tobias

I’m having the same issue, and I’m wondering if anyone has found a solution. I’ve been browsing these forums (as well as other sites) for a couple of hours and haven’t yet found anything that works.

I’m using WordPress 3.5, BuddyPress 1.6.2, and bbPress 2.2.3. I am using the BuddyPress Default theme.

Thanks so much!

[gasaixyuno]

It looks pretty good.

[Doezer]

Thanks actorjml, this wasn’t very clear and there isn’t any explanations about the installation in the codex.

[Anointed]

Is this the base of what teamoverpowered was built with to get the hierarchical forums setup?

I’ve been keeping an eye out on #1958 and was curious if this theme solves those issues as I have been trying to replicate a vb style bbPress theme for some time now. As I have 400k topics, I have to be extremely careful on the efficiency of the queries used.

[Geezerjim]

You need to put the files inside the theme for your site – eg: http://www.example.com/wp-content/themes/your-theme/{the contents of bbPress-starter-theme-epicwebs-master file}

Hmm, or is it possible to display a certain forum(with all the topics within it) within a certain group with a shortcode ???

With this maybe:

[bbp-single-forum id-forum id=$forum_id]

and if ?! How can I edit the existing group page to add this short code within it ??

[JAsko_san]

I’ve gone trough some stuff, and it seems that I can post topics within one group, and when I insert ( within the dashborad/forums/all forums page) an existing forum within the group, it does show up on the main index page, but it doesn’t show up within the group ??!

It even states that it has more replies and topics within that same group, but it doesn’t displays them 🙁

IS this somehow possible to accomplish ???
