Does anyone know why this error happens?
Warning: substr() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /home/homewo31/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/bb-includes/class.bb-query.php
I deleted groups and forums and recreated and this is showing for my 2nd group.
sorry wp4.0 changed the way default permalinks worked, and this has broken bbpress child forums, which is I suspect your problem.
There is a trac ticket for this with WordPress.
The interim fix is to go to pretty permalinks (which you say you don’t want to) or only have forums at the top level. In theory this will be fixed in 4.0.1 whenever that comes out.
I’m trying to set up bbPress, but I’m not using the postname permalinks (for SEO reasons), which is causing problems. So I tried setting it up using Method 2 in the setup guide, which is basically just setting up a page with [bbp-forum-index] on it. That works, but now none of the non-index forum pages work. Just 404 pages.
What should the Forum Root Slug and Single Forum Slugs be? I’m thinking that may be the problem. I’ve been messing around with them but haven’t been able to fix them yet. Thanks for any help!
Is there anyone else who hasn’t gotten this code to work for them? I have tried everything and am still getting the issue of HTML showing up in quotes with quotes in them. I’ve copied this code to my includes/common/formatting.php and have seen zero change.
(I’m using GD BBPress Tools for my quote functionality)


@mnhfile
also try to test out on a local development area like WAMP or MAMP
install divi , bbpress, and then add the file to your bbpress folder in your divi child theme.

if you cant even get it on localhost , contact elegant themes support they also run bbpress on there support forums maybe they can help too.
How to make tabs? I make categories and place different forums in each category. After I upload loop-forums.php to child theme folder and placed in bbpress folder…
this is what i have using raindrops and gd bbpress tools and also the quote function

Fixed I commented the bbpress css code in the theme out. it was included in the theme.
but did you have bbcode under the bbpress menu? its not there. notice the picture I will include another picture with another theme:

hello. i have bbpress i have 65 forums only 50 are shown in the forum page, there isnt a #2 page button… so there is no way to see the remainning forums…
can anyone help me?
The bbPress project along with BuddyPress and WordPress is testing out Slack as our main real-time communication platform, replacing IRC chats for developer related discussions.
If you are a current contributor to bbPress or would like to start contributing and help with the development of bbPress then this is the place to come and have a chat.
A brief summary is here: https://codex.bbpress.org/participate-and-contribute/
Full setup details and how to request an invite to link your WordPress.org account with a Slack.com account are here:

Note: This is a not a new support channel or forum for bbPress support.
Thank you @Robbk for guiding me. Now I’m able to do changes in css.. after adding !important and doing changes in one place.
What to do Next to make tabs
I upload loop-forums.php to my child theme in bbpress folder. I don’t see any tabs appearing on my site studylocus.com/forums
Yes, I understand. But as you know, when you get truncated messages, there is a lot sensitive information. Ips and port etc.etc. But I have a lead right know of what it can be.. I’m using google apps so. I’ll be back with this if I found anything. The strange thing that is happens only with bbpress, not buddypress or wordpress.
you could start by giving us a fuller problem definition
They post a topic and YOU get a warning – when, what exactly does it say, where does it come up and when??
It could be a theme or plugin issue
Plugins
Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
Themes
If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.
is it possible the bbpresswp4 fix plugin affects it not being able to be cleared?
okay first try adding !important at the end of some css to make the css work if your still having issues with that.
alright so there is more info that i posted about setting up forums and having that categorized layout if you havent read the last post aimed at you , you should read it.
Help Css & Layout
ok what you are going to do , is create a category and a forum with the category as the parent.
you do this all in the forums section in bbpress
reply back when you do that.
i want to see it at http://studylocus.com/forums/
then we will go from there.
@atfpodcast
i already tested it out (on firefox) , and it did work the link moved at first but the second time it did work.
contact your theme author and also gd bbpress tools support and see if they can help on that link moving on the first time thing.
if you feel like gd bbpress tools quote just doesnt work because of your theme , change to a default theme like twenty fourteen then tell me the results.
there might also be other plugins conflicting with it.
so just leave bbpress and gd bbpress tools and see if it works from there.
then reactivate any additional plugins one at a time to find the problem.
Anyone got a suggestion for that? GD bbPress Attachments don’t work.
Thanks for all the tips…
How should i set so visitor can upload on the forum… no registration needed but full access to upload.
I can’t find anything… 🙁
@atfpodcast
try to keep your css issues on the link to the topic, its hard to keep track of all the topics if im trying to refer to two people questions
Question on the css for bbpress
@mnhfile
try not to make duplicate topics, you have 3 topics about the same thing.
there is this which add captchas to the reply and topic form
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-recaptcha/
and there is this which integrates with bbpress
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-math-captcha/
gd bbpress tools works on my end especially the quote button, it does have a weird but on my end where it moves the first time i click, but the second time it works fine.
contact your theme author and see if they can find an issue about the quote link moving.
your theme already has some bbpress styling in the main theme stylesheet.
it has background:none!important;
its kind of messy just adding !important again but it did work on my end
#bbpress-forums li.bbp-header {
background: purple!important;
}
ok i will now test out your theme,
im going to have bbpress, gd bbpress tools , and thats it
first im going to test if i can design the forum like normal
then im going to try to see if gd bbpress tools works.
im come back to you in a minute.
use robins plugin.
bbp additional shortcodes
remember to read on how to use the plugin on that page too.
