I should note, the error was being spit out by bbpress… this isn’t a general WP question.

[ben_allison]

I tried to enable file caching, but I get an error from bbpress:

“Call to undefined function wp_cache_add_global_groups()”

I’m not trying to cache bbpress per se, I just want to cache my entire wp site that bbpress happens to be on.

Is there a better method than adding define( ‘WP_CACHE’, true ) and object-cache.php?

My first post was marked as spam, not sure why. Maybe because I posted links to my forum??

Anyway, I’ll remove the links. This is what my post said:

Hey there! I just installed the bbPress plugin on a site I have been assigned to at work. Unfortunately, nothing is showing up at the index for the forum:

But when I link directly to a category, you can view what’s under that category:

Got any ideas? Thanks in advance for your help!

I deactivated bbPress without thinking because I wanted to try something and now I can’t use my site, have a beautiful white screen of death, I’m guessing it’s due to my having the bbpress integrated theme as active without the bbpress plugin being active…

Anyone know how to fix this!?

Nevermind, I panicked. Removed all themes except default and reset itself.

How can I get it to work with a WPzoom template?

[Baichi]

Is it possible to find out where certain shortcode is in the actual bbpress code? In particular I”m thinking the code for bbp-topic-index.

The styling must be in the a file somewhere yeah? So why not have some sort of file map or layout so people could get in and play with it a little at their own peril?

Hi guys,

I’m running bbPress 2.1 (plugin) and put on my blog’s sidebar an RSS parser from forum. Problem is: when it gets an answer, the label starts with “Anwser to: Topic title” — in my case, since my site is Portuguese written, “Responder a: Topic title”.

I want to change this “Responder a:” for something shorter, like “Re:”. Do you guys have any idea where I change this behavior?

[]’s!

Hi.

This question is not about bbPress but about this site. I have edited my profile but I don’t see how can I change my picture (avatar). I tried on Internet Explorer and also on FireFox, but it looks like there isn’t a field for doing this.

Thanks.

Hello

I want to run Buddypress with a forum and I as wondering if someone can clearly explain to me the following;

1. What is the difference between the build in buddypress forums and the bbpress plugin?

2. What is the best way to install it so that both plugins sync and work together properly? Is there a set order they should be installed in?

Many thanks

Is it possible to move the content of an existing BBPress installation over to a different database?

Keeping users, passwords, posts and discussions?

I´m not too skilled with databases, but it looks like I can export and import in MyPHP Admin in Cpanel. And if doing so, will I still be able to keep the data on that other existing database as well?

I´m really stuck in a pickle here because when I installed BBPress 1.02, everyone was saying “screw migration”. And it simply didn´t work. So I had to install it on its own database.

Now if I want to convert to version 2, I need to have all the data on one common database.

[gplana]

Thanks a lot for your answer, John.

I agree, I think I will use forums (and forums categories) for canonical place, and I will try the WordPress categories taxonomy to do what I need. However, I have two questions:

1. Should I modify the core of bbPress for archieving this ? If I should, I don’t really like it because if a new version of bbPress is published then I won’t be able to upgrade easyly.

2. Does it already exist a plugin or something similar where this (using WordPress categories) is already implemented ?

Many thanks.

[John James Jacoby]

I understand now. No need to send anything, thanks for the offer.

Growing pains with any software are sometimes difficult, for everyone – users and developers. The process of moving bbPress into a WordPress plugin was not without its own. I am confident that the end result with today’s iterations is better than the previous, and hopefully your experience coincides with that.

[John James Jacoby]

Interesting. I’ll take a look, thanks.

[kowalski]

i own platform pro but it and it doesn t work with bbpress 2.0. it used to work with bbpress 1.0, they even relased special plugin for that. After your mod update to 2.0 it stoped. nevermind. if you are interested, i could send you platform pro files, so you could make a fresh install and test how it play together.

[Aniezz]

Wow, I just about to use bbpress as a private forum based on recommendation of a co-worker and just realize this huge differences along with other avail forum software’s.

And about standalone package idea, I disagree with it since as part the wp plugin is the best reason I going to use it.

@rpetersn

Thanks for your help. I gave it an earnest go yesterday and I finally got it to work for me today. I too wanted to get this working as a child theme, but ran into this issue (https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-bbpress-error-the-active-theme-is-broken-reverting-to-the-default-theme) since I’m developing this on xampp. I ended up just putting it together, uploading it to the live server, and luckily, it wasn’t too far off.

[John James Jacoby]

So you own it, and it works? If so, I fail to understand your position on the matter.

[kowalski]

I think you misunderstood me. I have compensate their work by paying for platform pro. So i expect their bbpress plugin should be updated as new version of bbpress has been relased in the meantime as many people still use platform pro and are not willing to upgrade it. Am i wrong? I think you have been also trying to solve this problem on this forum, didn t you?

bbp_check_user_edit() appears to use the following condition:

if ( !is_user_logged_in() || ( is_multisite() && !current_user_can( ‘manage_network_users’ ) && bbp_is_user_home() && !apply_filters( ‘enable_edit_any_user_configuration’, true ) ) || !current_user_can( ‘edit_user’, bbp_get_displayed_user_id() ) ) {

The key portion of that being:

( is_multisite() && !current_user_can( ‘manage_network_users’ ) && bbp_is_user_home() && !apply_filters( ‘enable_edit_any_user_configuration’, true ) )

This appears to be written intending to disable the ability for site admins on a network to edit users. However the code here does not seam to do any tests for what the user id is and who’s currently logged in.

This has the unwanted effect of removing the ability for a normal non-superadmin user to edit their own profile because this code activates when multisite is enabled and doesn’t take the fact they are trying to edit their own profile into account.

[John James Jacoby]

@jankowalski – Surely you don’t think being compensated for hard work is wrong?

[cruthas]

I have installed the bbpress plugin and would like to remove the topic and reply options from the dashboard so users can’t create topics or make replies from there. Is there a simple way to do this?

Any help would be great,

Thanks in advance.

Never mind. Found the answer in this thread: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-do-i-get-bbpress-pages-to-use-a-specific-page-template-in-wordpress

[kowalski]

That’s a pity but this plugin is available only for platform pro 2.0 called now pagelines framework. So, to get this update you have to pay 197$ first and then you will get plugin bbpress for free… Thats how helpful pagelines developers can be.. I ve been asking several times for compatibility solution for bbpress 2.0 but they couldn t help. here you go, if you pay them they know how to fix it!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ronald Rogers]

Holy TLDR.

But I have to second the standalone package idea. That sounds like it would open up very interesting possibilities.

[Anonymous User]

As per the topic title. Is there an order in which the bbPress plugin chooses which WordPress template file to display the board? Is it index.php first, then maybe page.php?

Is it possible to have a page-forum.php file in my WordPress theme, and have the plugin use that?

Most of my template files have a sidebar, and I’d like to remove that for the forum.
