Those are warnings, not errors. They are only presented when E_STRICT is on, as the PHP engine can and will disregard them and continue to compile just fine. Without looking into the problem too deep (it’s getting on, and I’m about ready for bed), off the top of my head I would suggest that the deprecated warnings are due to the fact that PHPs handling of OOP has changed mildly between v4 and 5. Objects are now passed by reference by default, whereas in PHP4 they weren’t. Since bbPress is backwards compatible to work on PHP4 (it cuts down on the snarky accusations that one might receive for being version specific), it will return warnings in PHP5 that are just that. Warnings.

That’s the only real problem too. Turn off E_STRICT and you won’t get the remaining notices. The ‘headers already sent’ errors are due to the fact that you’re getting the deprecated warning (which outputs text to the screen, thus sending headers) before the script has completed its run.

So… simply put, it can be called stable, as it’s purely your setup that is causing the issue, not bbPress itself.

[Mark Kehn]

Seriously! You cannot call v1.0.2 beckett stable! Before you even get to step 1…that’s right…BEFORE you get to step one it errors out! Let me repeat that. Where is it erroring out? Uh-huh, it gives errors at STEP ZERO! See screenshot:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/16731818@N00/3971382000/sizes/o/

You get the error messages as soon as you enter http://example.com/bbpress to start the install script.

You get five errors before you even think about pushing button to go to step 1. And the fact you all try to hide it (the error messages) is pretty bogus too. White text on white background? Puhleeze!

Does anyone even test stuff before putting it out there to the public? Yes, this is a rant. Why? Well because over a week ago I posted a reply and have not gotten any answers and neither has anyone else who are having the same issue and reported it before me.

Where the hell is Beau Lebens? You all need to let him know about this, HE will fix it in a jiffy if you tell him. Please refer to this thread for screenshots and content:

on the plugin, BuddyBar in bbPress

I just updated to buddypress 1.1 so that it can work, would you like to get admin info!

Where did you get instructions to do it like that? I seem to recall someone posting with that status 200 “all rosy” in the past but I don’t know where those instructions are coming from.

> There was some discussion of 503 errors on a bbPress install here:

That suggests a couple of things I could ask Elief’s tech support. I was mostly wondering if this was a fairly common problem — it almost gave me the impression that it was trying to process the page so fast that it kind of tripped over itself.

[johnhiler]

It looks like you’re trying to install bbPress as a plugin within WordPress?

It’s actually a separate program… you have to install it separately from WordPress. You can integrate the two, so that they have shared users.

[carlosdelab]

Hello Everyone,

I teach geometry in the university and I would like to create a forum where the students can clarify their doubts and upload Images of its work. for that reason I’m try to install bbPress in my blog.

I upload the folder into the plugin-folder but when I try to install the bbpress appear this message:

Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function bb_get_option() in /usr/home/designemergente.org/web/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bb-plugins/akismet.php on line 13

can anyone helpme to continue.

thanks in advance

Hi there,

My bbpress theme works fine in the latest versions of ie, safari, chrome and opera but the main content area shifts out of position when viewed in firefox. I would be grateful if somebody have a quick look at it please and offer any suggestions as to why this is happening.

TIA

There was some discussion of 503 errors on a bbPress install here:

Maybe something there will be helpful?

[kaz1844]

I have been combing the forums and have found a variety of answers to this, but many are old and am wondering what the most current directions are for using WordPress headers and footers to unify the look and navigation with the BBPress section with the of my site. I have simple directory structure, i.e. wordpress in the root, bbpress as a subdirectory, and have completed cookie and user integration. Any advice or links to current threads would be great. Thanks.

[rsteer]

I recently installed bbPress on a shared Linux hosting system (elief.com). It’s running a LiteSpeed web-server:

http://www.randysteerforanc.org

Installation went fine, and I posted a few “starter” topics successfully, but ever since it was first installed, I have to load almost every page twice. The first time any page tries to load, it gives a “503 Service Unavailable (The server is temporarily busy, try again later!)” error message. If I click the browser’s reload button, the page almost always loads correctly the second time.

So it stumbles along, but reloading every page and every post will be really annoying for my users.

I’ve run other PHP packages on this server before without running into this problem.

Any suggestions?

[Mark]

Honestly when it comes to basic integration there’s absolutely no difference. WP and WPMU are the same codebase after all. The only real difference is whether or not you want your blog owners to be automatically added to your primary blog and by proxy as members of the forum.

Deep integration is accomplished exactly the same on either platform too. Just stick with µ, eventually (as in anywhere from tomorrow to 2017) the two will merge anyways and if you install a second copy of standalone WP.org for your forums, you’re just going to wind up with two µ’s down the road.

I noticed you tagged this convo bbmu, just so you know (you probably do) but when you integrate bbPress with µ you don’t get bbPress µ as a result. When /bbpress is accessed, no matter the blog, the viewer will get the exact same forum.

[kaz1844]

here’s what I did to get a page in wordpress in my navigation bar that redirects to the bbpress part of my site: set up a page template and made sure it was selected when I set up the forum page in wordpress – the template simply included redirection code:

<?php

/*

Template Name: Forum Section

*/

?>

<?php

header( ‘Location: http://www.yourdomain.com/your-forum-name-directory&#8217; ) ;

?>

[Mark]

You might want to explore where that 500 is coming from, that probably shouldn’t happen. I did the same thing just to see if it was inherent to bbPress or maybe just bbPress.org, and it seems it might be just you. I got a blank page (would be nice to see that redirect somewhere else for non-existent tags) but it was showing a 200 ok, and not a 500.

I just realized bbPress doesn’t have anywhere to view/edit tags in the administration panel. Is that coming down the road?

[chrishajer]

Can you post a link to your forum where someone can see the problem?

Are you using any plugins that might cause this?

Maybe there’s a problem with your theme?

How about AJAX and JavaScript? I think tag removal depends on JavaScript.

I’m not sure if deleting a topic deletes the tags with it. I tend to think it doesn’t since there is an admin option to recount and find tags with no topics (stranded tags.) Also, bbPress would have to be smart enough to know if a tag was used only on that topic and no others. Maybe it’s that smart but I am guessing it doesn’t work like that.

[joseffb]

Not working.

The bbpress plugin didn’t give me a domain name so I added it in, but I had to leave it off of the wp-config because if I add it in then the primary domain (with a different domain name) can’t login correctly.

Primary = theitsites.com (blog ID 1)

Secondary = channeltechcenter.com (blog ID 15)

Forum = channeltechcenter.com/forum

This is how my config files look now:

bb-config.php:

define( ‘SITECOOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );

define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );

define( ‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘.channeltechcenter.com’ );

Thanks for the reply.

d) which credentials? login credentials through GET? u gotta be kidding me

Well, yeah. I was thinking more along the lines of using such a thing with the guest account w/o password, so I could load /bbpress?user=guest sort of thing.

I did see an LDAP login plugin. I’ll have a look at that.

thanks,

Linus

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

Technically its all feasible.

a) you can override bbPress login functions with the ones matching with your portal

b) that’s again feasible (I think CK was working on a plugin for this, try some searching)

c) its feasible but I don’t have any idea of going about it

d) which credentials? login credentials through GET? u gotta be kidding me

[lkemsc]

Hi,

I would like to integrate the bbpress forum into a portal site that has its own login/authentication.

Is there some way I can either

a) not require logging in?

b) provide external authentication

c) provide a guest account that doesn’t need a password

and/or

d) provide credentials through query parameters

or… Is there an other better way?

thanks a lot,

Linus

[ailusia]

Yes, I removed the database tables and everything else, then I extracted bbpress from zip again, reinstalled and now it works… thanks.

[chrishajer]

Maybe you could add that capability to the member role?

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/role-manager/

[chrishajer]

If you want to reinstall, you also need to remove the database tables, in addition to bb-config.php.

You can also edit your bb-config.php and add a line like this to override the configuration:

$bb->uri = 'http://klikerlab.pl/forum/';

Help! I renamed my bbpress file directory name…

You have to rename the folder where you installed bbPress as well, from bbpress to forums. You can’t just make the configuration changes.

[ailusia]

Hi,

I wanted to change the forum url from /bbpress to /forum through the Settings in admin panel, and after doing it it shows a 404 error when I enter the /forum url, and this:

http://klikerlab.pl/bbpress/

with bbpress url. I can’t access the admin panel now. What should I do?

I tried to remove the files and install it again, but it showed a message that bbpress is already installed.

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

On line 2368 of functions.bb-template under bb-includes dir of your bbPress resides the code you want to change.

bb_current_user_can( 'edit_users' )

Editing a core file is not recommended but I am unsure of how to mask it to call a custom function instead of the core function.

If its unmaskable for now (architectural) and you want a fix, then either you can change that bb_current_user_can( 'edit_users' ) with bb_is_user_logged_in() but you will have to do it again when you upgrade (or till someone posts a recommended fix) or you can append this line in your profile.php after the call to the bb_profile_data()

<?php

if ( bb_is_user_logged_in() ) {

echo $user->user_email;

}?>
