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?
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.
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.
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.
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:
- Navigated to bbpress/includes/common/template-tags.php line 1605
- 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
Looks like this issue has been resolved.
Unfortunately, shortcodes aren’t working for me, either.
Any other leads?
Thanks so much for your help.
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
See this thread here and contact @yousef-matios as he is more than willing to share the Arabic translation he has for bbPress.
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/
See the following topic and note this is fixed for the next release of bbPress

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.
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/
Is it the shortcodes you are looking for? https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/
Have a read of the docs on theme compatability to get your current theme working with bbPress
https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/
As this site is bbPress you should probably post this the BuddyPress forums http://buddypress.org
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)
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.
It looks like you have removed bbPress and installed Mingle Forums now
