Hi jansummers,
You’re bbPress install has content being sent to the browser before all the processing is finished.
9/10 this comes from a ‘new line’ at the end of a user created php file (theme or plugin).
The fact you’re getting this error via the Plugin API strongly suggests such an issue is with a plugin. Have you edited one? have you got a new one installed recently?
Without more info, the only suggestion we have can give is this:
1) Change back to the default theme and see if it the bug still occurs.
2) Start deactivating plugins one at a time and see if it still occurs.
3) If you’re using the default theme and all plugins are deactivated, try re-uploading bbpress. Its unlikely that’ll make any difference, but its covering your bases

With all due respect, you’re asking for our help to fix a bug only you are having but you won’t let us see. I asked you for a link to see the issue to help you and it took you 7 hours to respond (even though you replied to 3 other threads in the next hour), and when you did reply you gave a 4 hour window of when we could give up our free time to fix your bug.
Can you give us a link to your test site please?
I signed up a while ago but didn’t get the password til recently…
I don’t see the polls though.
@af3, I just installed on a website wordpress mu 2.9.2 and buddypress 1.2 with bbpress. Unfortunately there are some problems with the bp-fbconnect plugin. For example I can login with FB-Connect but I cannot log out.
I also tried wordpress with buddypress, bb-press and the FB-Connect plugin – that worked. Strange…
Further problem:
buddypress-bbpress forums are group based. With a bbpress standalone you can have category-based topics…I prefer category based topics. It is easier to keep the overview.

You gotta see for yourself during the creation of a topic. There will be no save button.
Uhclem, how much HTML do you know?
I ask not to be rude, but to check the level of support needed. It looks like your website was set up with Microsoft Frontpage and with no hand coding done. Sadly, hand coding is needed for changing things in bbPress, and no amount of help from us can talk you through it if you don’t have the basics.

Or click the “extend” button on the main menu above.
Hi Quicktipz,
I’d strongly suggest asking htis over at the buddyPress forums as they’ll have more chance of knowing the answer. Don’t delete the plugin yet (not as a first step anyway). Log into WordPress and de-activate it first.
If you’re trying to install bbPress or BuddyPress with your wordpress install?
( in know it gets confusing)
Looks like that’s a WordPress plugin for BuddyPress? Not much to do with bbPress unless I’m missing something in that message. I would ask at the BuddyPress forums or for support from that plugin author.
Hello, I just tried installing BBPress to my blog and upon activation I get this error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_core_add_nav_item() in /home/content/14/4457114/html/wp-content/plugins/group-forum-subscription-for-buddypress/bp-group-forum-subscription.php on line 500
I can’t even get into the admin and if i go to the site http://www.quiktipz.com it give me the same message…how do I fix this?
I have no technical understanding, and still I managed to install BBpress already. Im not agreeing with your argument that BBpress requires PHP-skills.
It has worked great for almost a year now, and it is a forum software that has gotten quite far already. It just need polishing and simplifying.
I dont think a plugin works unless it functions 100% out of the box. You shouldnt have to go into the code at all. Thats not userfriendly. So here is me, an end user wanting something to be ideal, and you admit it to not being ideal.
Im saying that if its not that ideal, then its not working.
Marius,
If something works, even if you have to do some of the work yourself, then it works.
If it doesn’t work – report the bug and we’ll try and help.
But saying things don’t work because it’s not ideal or as easy as you’d like isn’t helping us to help you and you’re passionate about bbPress, we want to help you
Polls: The plugin made by CK for an outdated version of BBpress, does not work with the current version.
Chatbox: Not a shoutbox, a chatbox thats designed in such a way that its easy for several people to communicate with each other. Not just post a shoutmessage.
Custom avatar: None of the avatar scripts works with 1.02, unless you go in to the the code, change it, change properties on the server etc.
Auto forum moderation: Has no admin panel, no instructions, does not work properly with 1.02.
I have tried all these plugins you mention we have, and believe me, if they was working properly, I would have had them on my forum. But I dont.
Askimet is optimized for WordPress blogs.
I disabled Askimet, and instead I use a variety of other plugins to control spam. Human Test for bbPress, Project Honeypot, New User Notification… they all do the job better than anything else at the moment.
Listen to me about plugins. I have had enourmus success with BBPress, with over 110 users and counting. This is what BBPress needs:
1. Polls
2. A chatbox on the side of the forum, like a widget. With simple design: Names and messages, nothing else.
3. Custom Avatar, with image resizing done at upload.
4. Administrate posting for users. Post length minimum, post allowed per minute and so on. Auto moderation really.
Can you give us a screenshot or a link so we can see what’s happening?
The realism is, bbPress is not currently aimed at folks that are not technically minded. That’s not said to put you or anyne else down, it’s just the reality of where we are.
If you like the look of this software, or if you chose it for a particualr reason, then i’d spend some time searching the forums and seeing if any questions you have have already been asked; because documentation is non-existanct.
In terms of your Akismet problem:
- Go to your admin area
- click on the “plugins” link
- click on “activate” link under akismet
- now the step that they tell people about for wordpress but not bbpress
- click on the “settings” menu on the left hand side
- the bottom sub menu will say Akismet, click it.
- input your key
- click save
- spent time taking actual posts from users out of spam que because akismet is not optomized for forums
Take care…
I will, check back on this later.
The problem is this: No save button on polls during topic creation. Using BBPress v1.02. Code untouched.
I’m just starting to consider moving our forum from Invision Power Board over to bbpress.
One thing I know we need is the ability to attach files to posts.
We will also need to be able to use bolding, underlining, etc., etc.
And the crew is really fond of smilies.
Also, we need a board which will be totally private.
So, I guess my real question is if bbpress is what I’m looking for at all.
If your PHP knowledge is little, bbPress and specifically user created plugins with no admin section are not ever going to be a reliable solution. We’ve really only had a reliable admin section for 7 months, and very few plugins have been written since then.
In this instance, and for your own needs, the best way to do this is via JavaScript. Googling an example is easy, should only be really 5-6 lines of code, and you won’t need to know any PHP or bbPress commands.
It should, in theory, look like this:
$(‘form’).submit(function() {
if( $(‘input#post_content’).val().length < 20 )
{
alert(” Please write more than 20 letters “);
return false;
}
});
Of course you’ll have to check the code yourself and put it in your theme, but that *should* work.
Marius mate,
Testing these things on a local/development enviroment first is really going to help you. bbPress plugins sometimes require quite a bit of web-dev knowledge, and being able to work out all the hic-ups on your own machine before letting your users see it will make your life alot easier
By the looks of it, yourself and JohnHiller could be on different timezones, I’m on all day fixing the last few bugs in the bbProgress admin section, so shout if it goes back up and we’ll try and help.
I got like thirty users who are all twelve year olds, it would have been a mess, sorry. I can turn it on again tonight, when they have all gone to bed 
I volunteered for the documentation team. The problem has been that I’ve been really busy so haven’t had much chance to devote time to it. One thing I did do was document all the template tags (https://bbpress.org/documentation/template-tags/), and there have been some changes to some of the other documentation pages by others.
There hasn’t been any talk among the documentation teams as far as I am aware, and there haven’t been any announcements of IRC meetups. So, I’m not really sure what is happening at the moment.
Do you want to change the size of avatar in your theme? I don’t know how that plugin works. It should be calling the bbPress function only. Try getting something from here – http://blog.ashfame.com/2009/08/change-gravatar-size-bbpress-theme/
