When I install bbpress I get the following error:

Warning: in_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, null given in /home/xxxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/functions.php on line 1371

I don’t understand what the issue is. It happens as soon as I activate the plugin.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi,
I need to enable my forum members to post images. The images need to appear within the post, not as an attachment. They need to be able to post them directly to the forum posts and replies (not via instagram or anything external). It is a private members site, so I am happy with users uploading.

I have tried installing the GD bbPress Attachments plugin, but the images only appear as attachments not embedded inline in the posts.

Hope someone can advise.

Hello, I’m using BBpress as a protected forum protected by Membermouse membership plugin – it works really well if you are logged in and doesn’t when you’re not. And that’s great because it’s what it’s meant to do.

However when you’re not logged in and try to access the forums it redirects to the home page:

http://learn.robcubbon.com/forums/forum/general-discussion/

http://learn.robcubbon.com/

whereas I it should redirect to the error core page: http://learn.robcubbon.com/mm-error/

any idea why this may be?

I had installed a plugin called bbPress – Sort topic replies. It was from http://sandyrig.com/about
I thought I had installed it after bbPress when I found the replies showing above the topics, but it did not resolve the issue until I set it properly.

Some give or take on one side would be needed, most probably deactivate Vanilla, activate bbPress and then go to “Settings -> Forums” and change bbPress slugs to resolve any conflicts, once done you should be fine to reactivate Vanilla.

Once you’ve imported your Vanilla forums, deactivate Vanilla, activate bbPress and change the slugs back and fingers crossed your existing URLs will point to the new bbPress forums.

Hi! I have installed bbpress in http://kayakcostabrava.com/ (WordPress version 3.9.2 bbpres version 2.5.4).

I have create the registering page http://www.kayakcostabrava.com/registre-forum/ but when I try to registre a new user it sends me to http://www.kayakcostabrava.com/wp-login.php?registration=disabled where registration is disabled.

I would like user to register to the forum only but not to my wordpress.

What should I do?

Thanks!

I was trying to follow the step by step guide to bbpress forum – part 3

I copied the the function below and add it on line 9 of loop-single-forum.php file.

function remove_counts() {
$args['show_topic_count'] = false;
$args['show_reply_count'] = false;
$args['count_sep'] = '';
return $args;
}
add_filter('bbp_before_list_forums_parse_args', 'remove_counts' );

Then I ran my forum site and got this error.. I’m doing this locally to test.

“Fatal error: Cannot redeclare remove_counts() (previously declared in C:\wamp\www\wp\wp-content\themes\twentytwelve-child\bbpress\loop-single-forum.php:9) in C:\wamp\www\wp\wp-content\themes\twentytwelve-child\bbpress\loop-single-forum.php on line 14“

Always show lead Topic YES
Shows the original post at the top of each page

This is not a bbpress forum setting that I’ve seen, it is one added by a plugin? and where is it shown?

go mess with tharsheblows loop-single-categories file or mess with bobinz files from pastebin

We resolved the issue. It was not related to the Headway theme, but rather it was an improper setting in the plugin bbPress – Sort topic replies. Here is the proper setting:

Always show lead Topic YES
Shows the original post at the top of each page

Robin W, thank you for your quick response! This thread could now be closed.

Hi !

Using the Plugin Shortcodes Ultimate I have created tabs in my WordPress Install.

Anyway I can do the same in bbPress ?

As an example please see :

Songs to Ponder Over

the starting post has tabs and was made in WordPress.

The replies are coming from the bbPress side and I’d like to make similar tabs in the same…

Shortcodes Ultimate plugin doesn’t seem to be working in bbPress.

All advise / Workabouts much appreciated. thanks !

I have bbPress installed and the register screens set up and displaying correctly. I have WP SMTP installed and pointing to my hostmonster mail server. It tests fine. When a new member registers I get a notification that a new user has registered and I know this is going through the SMTP server because of the headers in the email. The password email is not being received. I don’t believe the password is actually being sent for reasons I don’t understand. I have the latest versions of WordPress and bbPress. I think it is a bbPress problem not a SMTP problem.

I have an existing Vanilla Forums instance sitting in /forum. I plan to migrate that site over to the bbPress setup that I am putting in now, but when I installed using the Add Plugin, it didn’t give me a path option and wound up in /forum/forums/forum or some such.

Is there a way to use /forums during the initial install to start simplifying, or am I a bit stuck with this piece in place and Vanilla still installed on my server?

I’m making a custom wordpress theme, but I want bbpress to use the twentytwelve themes.

I know how to make it use my custom theme css, but that’s not what I want, can anyone help?

[Robkk]

yeah you havent been really digging into your theme changing bbpress templates… i hope.

but i think it might be the way your themes set up , maybe your theme author did not style his theme for bbpress to handle categorized layouts.

contact your theme author

http://themeforest.net/item/x-the-theme/5871901/comments

other than that i guess deactivate your plugins one at a time, and see if you can find a plugin that might cause an issue.

[Stephen Edgar]

Indeed pingbacks and trackbacks should not be enabled, I’ve just created a ticket to have a look at this, #2677.

It was also mentioned in this thread https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/disable-pingbacks/

[Robin W]

I can see lots of ‘?’ – is this your issue??

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.

come back with the results !

[Robin W]

Lots you could choose from

I like

bbp last post – changes freshness to last posted date
bbp private groups -sets up private groups
bbp profile information – adds up top 4 fields to profile
bbp topic count – displays topic and reply counts under the avatars

(I would like the above, I wrote them !)

as well as

bbpress notify – advises admin of new posts
bbpress WP tweaks – adds forum specific sidebar
bbp signature – adds a signature box
wp modal login – addas a modal login !

2014 bbPress Survey Results

6. Twenty-three percent of participants have not added any bbPress add-on plugins nor custom code at the time of survey. Additional research showed the majority of those who have not installed such are those who use bbPress for their own sites.

For the rest of the participants, there are a few who mentioned that they have too many plugins in their installations to list in the survey form. For those who shared what plugins they have activated in their installations, following shows the top ten plugins which are either bbPress-specific or those with expressed support for bbPress.

I have the forum settings to 15/topic, and 25/replies.

The forum isn’t live yet, and I had testers take it over the limits, and bbpress won’t create new pages, it just dumps everything into one long scrolling page.

This is a brand-new installation of vers. 2.5.4 on WP 3.9.2

any suggestions?

[archiseek]

Just getting started with BBpress – moved over a phpbb forum.

Just wondering, what are users “must-install” plugins?

[tiffany_sands]

We’re use white text on a dark background in our BBPress Forum.

The problem that we’re having is that the Insert/edit Link Box defaults to white background, now with unreadable white text.

Can the background color of this message window be modified?

If not, is there a way I can set the text in this message window to display as dark, while retaining the white text on the forum?

Hi all.

I have installed bbPress, and love it.

I have also installed WP-Members plugin, so that I can gather some additional user meta data and control user access to the wider site.

However, although new users seem to be given the Forum Role of “Participant” when they register, they don’t seem to be able to post on the bbPress forum. Even if I elevate their forum permissions to Moderator, they still can’t post.

Can anyone help me troubleshoot this problem.

Thanks

Hello! I’m new to BBPress and this is my first installation.

I’m getting � “REPLACEMENT CHARACTER” showing up. Usually this means there’s some encoding interpretation problem. I’ve added the following meta to my heading, but am still getting the replacement characters.

<meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”text/html; charset=iso-8859-1″>

Any ideas on how to resolve?
