“Forums is category” comes standard in bbPress v. 1.0+… I think you just have to mark them as categories:

http://hoosierhoopsreport.com/bbpress/bb-admin/admin-base.php?plugin=forum_is_category_admin_page

Try that, and see if your theme makes the automatic adjustment?

[jlapin]

Somehow my bbpress integration with WPMU and buddypress (which appears on the surface to have been successful) forces all forum posts created in buddypress to come from the key master account (i.e. I’m logged in as somebody and my forum post appears as from somebodyelse)

I’m sure that this is somehow related to a cookie issue, but I can’t figure out what it could be, or where to look.

[rsteer]

Does bbPress care if the server is running PHP 4 or 5? Mine is running 5.2.11.

Thanks.

[Jim R]

Yes ashfame…THAT!!! That’s what I want. : )

I’m using the guangzhou theme, as it best matches my WP theme. I’m just trying to find the part of the cod where I can manipulate that. Then if I need helping making sense of the code, I’ll be back, but at least I’ll try it on my own. : )

I have added a Link Category menu from my WP to my bbPress menu if anyone is interested. It’s from the WP template tag system. If anyone is interested in that.

[Peter A. Gebhardt]

Have a look here (if you are using 0.9.0.5):

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/forum-is-category/#post-1495

I’m on my way to implement it for my forum and will report later, if the _ck_ proposed “Add Topic” patch does work – just kidding …

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

Which version of bbPress are you using?

I use 1.0.2 on http://needaproject.com/discussion/

Have a look, I have blanks over there

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

IIRC, there are a few topics about this issue with XAMP. Did you search the forums?

[hpguru]

Never change my bbPress to other forum software.

[InvTrdr]

Thanks. What javascript do I check? Also where are the tags stored? Can they be deleted from within where they are stored? I am only using 2 plugins with the theme. One is for images and the other for attachments. Link to the forum is http://www.invictatrader.com/bbpress if you want to see it. Not sure it might help as you have to login as admin to delete tags? And presently I have all the tags with the topics intact. Have not removed a topic and left a tag.

Thank you.

[arabica]

BTW, this seems to be an XAMPP/Windows error not a bbPress one!

[Mark Kehn]

I don’t have strict on. I have .htaccess set to show messages, that’s it.

Thank you for the explanation though.

[Mark]

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

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddybar-in-bbpress/

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

[chrishajer]

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

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; ) ;

?>
