I have solved the problem. Not exactly sure how I did it. I installed a new database a few different times, but I was still getting the same errors.

Then I installed a new database, activated my bbPress plugin first, and everything worked fine. Then I installed BuddyPress after that. Another thing that I did was to NOT activate the “Discussion Forums” on BuddyPress in the settings page. I had a problem with that before and saw a thread that recommended that as solution.

In any case, things seem to be working for now.

I also sent them a contact form requesting access in order to help and troubleshoot.

I have an issue that seems to be with the theme I am using. When I install bbPress, it doesn’t register a title when I look at my view source code. I also get an “Error 404” message in the breadcrumbs of my site’s theme (NOT in the bbPress breadcrumbs).

I don’t get this when I switch to a default WP theme, so it seems related to my theme (WPzoom’s Manifesto).

I have run a buddypress update plugin thinking this might help, but it doesn’t. I also get this message with BuddyPress compatibility: “Your active theme does not include bbPress template files. Your forums are using the default styling included with bbPress.” (I’m fine with the bbPress default styling, by the way. Just wondering if the first part of that message might relate to my problem in any way.)

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Despite the inflammatory remarks from their team in the topic you linked me to, I tweeted the Pagelines guys about getting access to their forums or getting things figured out together.

Considering you are paying them for support, I think the ball is in their court. If there’s a problem with their theme and bbPress they need to put a guy on it and send me a theme to test, similar to how StudioPress and Genesis handled it for the 2.0 release.

If bbPress is doing something that’s causing headaches, I’m happy to fix it – the difference being that bbPress’s code is immediately accessible to them, and their themes are not to me.

I said I never saw a mass action in Standalone bbPress for posts. That was your answer but I asked did you use Akismet too or nope? The Akismet didn’t care of spammers?

It seems that the bbPress 2.0 plugin is using my blog posts setup for forum topics and forums list. This is an issue to me because I do not want to have post author information or the comments section to display in the forum topics.

Here is an example: http://www.fanoop.com/forums/topic/one-more-test/

I am using Pagelines Platform Pro theme. I have also posted this topic on their forums (http://www.pagelines.com/forum/discussion/14742/bbpress-2.0), but it seems that it is an issue between the plugin and WordPress…

Is there a way to separate the forums from the blog post style? I obviously don’t want to turn off commenting site wide, but this is an issue.

[John James Jacoby]

Not currently possible, and not planned.

[Anointed]

Short answer, no.

The new bbPress plugin uses custom post-types ‘topics/replies’ so technically topics and replies are already posts.

It’s easiest to think of forum topics as simply WordPress posts that are simply styled as forum topics by using special templates.

Of course anything is possible to build.

Are there any plugins available for bbPress/WP post synchronisation? By this, i mean that any new posts created in WP are automatically created in the bbPress forums.

I know there are plugins available for older stand-alone version of bbPress which won’t work. Basically what i’m trying to achieve is, when a new post is posted in the category “reviews”, it appears in the forum “reviews” and so forth.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Had the ram allocation bumped to 128 by the host… all plugins disabled, still cannot activate bbpress. I had mentioned that in the above posts. I also tried reinstalling the whole thing fresh to no avail. There is clearly another issue at hand.

[David]

Thanks for the heads up, @anointed.

I’m running bbPress 2.0 with WordPress 3.2.1.

[Anointed]

the error is basically saying that your website does not have enough ram allocated to it in order to run anything else.

You can either deactivate other plugins on your site and then try to activate bbp or you can call your webhost and ask them to allocate more memory. (probably have to pay more for more ram)

This really has nothing to do with bbpress, but more a general error that shows up when system resources run out.

[djlynchpin]

Reinstalled everything, back to where I can activate bbpress, and still get memory error.

[djlynchpin]

I tried to install from plugin in wp admin and got api error. So i dwnlded full version and ftp’d it to my server. Then when I try to activate it I get the following error: Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 26214400) (tried to allocate 291800 bytes) in /home/lynchpin/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbpress.php on line 449

I upped my php.ini to 64m , tried adding code to wp-config and htaccess. Nothing has worked. Any suggestions? I’d even be willing to let someone log into it and take a look. Help Please!

There is a trac ticket already submitted with this problem.

What vs. of WordPress are you using?

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1640

[David]

The Topic Tag Archive page (in the browser at /forums/topic-tag/[topic-name] ) is displaying all the topics in my forum rather than just the topics that are associated with the selected topic tag. It *does* list the tag correctly at the top of the page so I know that’s getting through.

The associated template part is taxonomy-topic-tag.php which calls bbpress/loop-topics.php but I’m not seeing an issue in either file (although with my limited PHP knowledge I’m not sure that I would recognize an issue anyway).

Is anyone else having trouble with this? I’ve checked it on two installations and am experiencing the same issue.

Also, when is taxonomy-topic-tag.php called vs page-topic-tags.php?

bbPress 2.0 uses the same WordPress theme your site uses. You cannot separate them on a single site, but could get creative with a multisite installation.

[Andre]

Not that I’m aware of.

In one of my projects, the forum was earlier using the bbpress 2.0 plugin. But later on we decided to shift to the standalone version on grounds of more scalability and features. (was our conclusion correct?) Now the problem is, we need to transfer the threads in the bbpress plugin forum to the standalone forum, with users/date intact. Is there any way to do that?

Hi!

I have downloaded a bbpress theme that I’d like to use instead of the on bbpress-twenty ten that comes with bb-press.

I use the bbpress plug-in. How / where do I place the new theme files and where can I decide which theme bbpress should use?

bbPress 2.0 is final, however 2.1 is going to be released in the near future. bbPress is nowhere near a feature freeze but is pretty rock solid in what it does already.

I am sure that bbPress will always continue to expand and improve. There are currently nowhere near the number of plugins available for 2.0 as with the old system but the base is great and creating plugins is a breeze for developers.

For importing your 1.02 system into 2x, check out http://bbconverter.com which is a great import script written by Alex. I would strongly advise backing up your database first as it’s definitely best practice whenever dealing with databases.

Returning to the BBPress community after long time away.

Like I expected, there´s no practical info here that I need about the new plugin version.

I see the beta-description is gone from the 2.0 download option. Which leads me to the important question, is it ready? Is it done now? Is this the version I´m supposed to download, and expect to work flawlessly?

Please don´t react too seriously to the word flawless. But what I need to know is – can I download this, and upgrade my current 1.02 version into this? Bringing ALL the USERS, THREADS and POSTS into the new installation???

Hopefully I can, but unfortunatly, there is really no site here telling me what I can do with BBPress 2.0. It´s just there as a download option.

I want to be a part of the future here. But I am terrified of loosing what I have already created with BBPress the last two years.

[David]

One cool option I forgot to mention earlier…

If it’s important for you to have the topics of each forum listed on your forum index page you can call them individually by using a shortcode for a particular parent forum (in this case, using WP’s do_shortcode):

<?php echo do_shortcode('[bbp-single-forum id=1234]') ?>

where 1234 is the ID number of the parent forum. I’ve experimented with this for a *Category* type parent forum and it works well. I imagine it would do the same thing for a *Forum* type parent forum. You’d obviously want to lead it with a header title for the parent forum.

Call each parent forum this way and you’ve got a nicely organized index page. (NOTE: you can call individual (non-parent) forums this way too but by default they call the entire single forum template part that includes the form. If you’re interested in messing with this it’s handled in [your bbPress directory]/bbpress/content-single-forum.php.)

The disadvantage is that it’s built manually for each parent so any new parent forums will have to added manually as well, but you do have a lot of control.

Thanks David! The truth is I still have some trouble copying my bbpress child theme into WordPress. Every time I do I keep getting errors but it’s only a matter of time before I get it down.

I’m working on the User Profile page and it looks like there might be an issue with bbp_is_user_home().

Issue 1: When I’m not signed in I’m still seeing the (Edit) link next the username. The template calling that is bbpress/user-details.php in which bbp_is_user_home() calls <?php _e( '(Edit)', 'bbpress' ); ?>.

Issue2: In user-subscriptions bbp_is_user_home() seems to be doing the same thing: <?php bbp_is_user_home() ? _e( 'You are not currently subscribed to any topics.', 'bbpress' ) : _e( 'This user is not currently subscribed to any topics.', 'bbpress' ); ?> is printing the first message “You are…” instead of “This user…”. Again, I’m not logged in and I’m seeing this for each user I view not just my own previously logged in account. (This same situation happens in user-favorites.php.)

Are others having the same issue? How are you dealing with it?
