This is a known issue, please see bbPress#2412 and we need to wait for the issue to be fixed upstream WordPress Core per WP#24169

possible conflict with other plugins or your theme

Try deactivating all plugins except bbPress and then add buddypress back and restest. if ok, the add other plugins back one at a time to see which is causing the conflict.

If no joy, then switch to default theme (eg twentytwelve) and see if it still is still there

Come back and let us know how you got on

[Robin W]

I’m sure there are plenty of highly active bbPress sites, with 20% of the world’s websites being wordpress they’re bound to be. That these people don’t come to the attention of a support site – and that this site only gets 20 queries a day – is surely testimony to how good the software is !!!

Hello. Sorry for the slow response, but I tried again. Now it’s giving me

Fatal error: fatal flex scanner internal error--end of buffer missed in /site/folders/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/topics/functions.php on line 1766

[sylcollin]

Just to be clear, both files are wrong (see below). They have the same behaviour.

I updated bbpress to version 2.5.3, and I still have the same issue.
I solved the other issues reported by whynopadlock.com. Only bbpress issues are remaining, here is what whynopadlock.com says:

I found about the chrome javascript console after, but it confirms what whynopadlock.com said.

That’s what motivated my choice with bbpress, its ease of installation. I’m not really interested in money, I’m just asking the question because I would really like to have an active forum community but apart from a few exceptions (like the studiopress, wordpress etc communities) many forum communities, well established and with large amounts of members seem to have gone inactive.

So it’s all a bit discouraging, and I was hoping to see a few examples of successful ones 🙂

[Lynqoid]

The great thing about bbPress compared to other forum software is that you can get it up and running pretty quick, do some testing to see if it is worth while and if it isn’t just deactivate the plugin.

[Robin W]

We could do with a bit more information than just the error!

Have you just installed, or is this an existing bbpress site that has gone wrong?
What were you doing at the time?
Have you added any plugins or done any upgrades recently?
Does it work at all?
Does you site work but bbpress not?
What versions of bbpress and WordPress are you on?
what theme?
what plugins are you using?

[Soprano]

Hello,

Recently I’ve been contemplating installing buddypress along with bbpress onto my wordpress. I want to make it a community that focuses on the same desire of self-improvement and spirituality.

I was fortunate to have a few traffic spikes and started getting 20,000 unique hits a day for a few months so I thought it would be a good time to try and capture this visiting audience somehow by motivating them to register and return to be active in a forum community to discus the topics of the articles that brought them there.

However, after visiting showcases of forum sites like http://bbshowcase.org/forums/view/top100 and http://bbpress.org/about/examples/ I notice the majority of them, even ones with millions of members, seem quite inactive. The latest posts being a few weeks or even months old. Even these bbpress.org forums seem to only get about 20 new threads a day. I know facebook has taken away a large chunk of forum users who now prefer groups and pages.

I always wanted to create a forum community, but when I tried I failed due to lack of traffic to my site, and now that I do have traffic, it seems forums aren’t as stimulating for internet users anymore unless the niche of the forum is very specific. So is it worth going through all the trouble of setting everything up?

Thank you

[Stephen Edgar]

We also have a page with a few of the ideas we like that extent bbPress in different ways:

Feature Plugins Tracking

[Lynqoid]

Hey guys,

I’m hoping to get a little more insight into what people would like done on bbPress. I know the general layout of the forums is a big one which is why I created the starter theme.

I would like to know what else you or people you know want from bbPress?

For example here is a list I currently have.

– Forum Layout
– Featured Images for Forums
– View forum based on user roles/groups

Thanks in advance for your responses, my aim is to come up with ways to help people out with all these requests/issues.

Also i’m looking for features not fixes or bugs.

hi
i just added bbpress to my wordpress site and i am interested in making the sign-in button on the top right pop up a sign-in form rather than redirecting the user to a sign-in page

as well would like to add a register button and maybe some more links

could anyone please help me with this

i saw exactly what i want it to act like on this site:
24baby shop (click on sign-in button on top right to see what im talking about. its actually “inloggen” now sure what language it is)

my website is this one – tikanti

Both editor.js and bbpress.css are loaded similarly, as well as other scripts and styles in certain situations (single forums/topics, and when editing your password). Are any other SSL errors present, or is it just bbPress? What version of bbPress are you using?

Without deeper investigation, I’m unsure how this is possible when using core functions and templates. bbp_enqueue_style() calls content_url() which uses set_url_scheme() which is the WordPress core function for correctly determining the http/https/relative scheme for every link on the site. This means it’s difficult for one to be wrong, and another to be right.

[Frumph]

Notice: bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly. The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init(). Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 2.3.) in /wp-includes/functions.php on line 3049

[koendb]

You can add all sorts of changes to your theme or bbpress from the general wordpress functions.php file. You can find this file here:
/wp-content/themes/%theme name%/functions.php

But if you update your theme your changes to this file will be overwritten, that’s why you should make a child theme with your own functions.php file. It’s not that hard and after you’ve made your child theme it’s easy to tweak other things as well.

hi Robin,

I tried both ways already. It mashes up in both the ways.

Can you suggest me how to get the black admin bar for the users above my site, just like bbpress has it now for its user at the top of the page?

Is it possible that I make it visible and available only to logged in forums – users??

[Denver Prophit Jr.]

@netweb can you guys create an article post based on http://www.highposition.com/blog/how-to-send-author-content-groups-wordpress-google-analytics/ for bbpress content grouping?

[jennifer2010]

I’ve been trying to get Invision Power Board developers to change from their archaic URL structure to adopt bbpress’s.

For example,
IPB looks like this:
site.com/ID-forum-name/
then topics look like
site.com/topic/ID-topic-name/

While bbpress looks like this:
site.com/forum/topic-name/

Their argument is that having a URL structure like BBpress’s is “inefficient” because they index is larger for querying titles to find the topic. They INSIST that the ID has to be in the URL otherwise it would create performance issues.

I disagreed.

Any developers who can shed light on this?

Hello,

I have a page on my website that I can get access to both in HTTP and HTTPS. But when acessing in HTTP, FireFox tells me that the page is not totally secure because of content that is accessed in HTTP inside the page .
After investigating, I found the website http://www.whynopadlock.com, that says part of the problem is the links from bbpress plugin to the bbpress.css and editor.js files. Both of them being in HTTP instead of HTTPS.
I updated the plugin, uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin, but the problem is still here.

When we get the “premium” SSL certificate approved, we would like the green padlock to show, as for the visitors of the website to have no trust issue…as it seems to prevent the padlock to show without “unsecure website” message, we would like to solve this issue quickly…

Anyone had the same issue?
May it need a fix for the plugin, or is there something I should try before?

[awasik]

I figured I would test out the process of signing up as a new user to my bbpress forums.

However, I never get the signup confirmation email. I have checked spam, everything.

Is there some setting somewhere that I am missing? Here’s my forum:

Thanks!!!!

[Majijiboo]

I have multiple functions.php files in different folders of the bbpress plugin. Which of the below functions.php files should I add the code to?

• …/bbpress/includes/users/functions.php
• …/bbpress/includes/replies/functions.php
• …/bbpress/includes/extened/buddypress/functions.php
• …/bbpress/includes/forums/functions.php
• …/bbpress/includes/core/functions.php
• …/%theme name%/functions.php

Thanks,
Majid

To edit what details the user can see/edit within the profile page then the template is

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-user-edit.php
and
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/user-profile.php

EDIT

found the subscription/edit bit

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/user-details.php

[vegas778]

Hi guys.

Do you know where I can find the file to edit the bbpress profile page for members ?

And how do I get those links (last topics, last replied, subscriptions, favorites, edit) on the profile page ? I only see the text of the number of replies, answers and if it is a administrator or user…

thanks

[Robin W]

without spending time looking at defkon’s solution, I could say.

However if you get the page template working, then copying that to a bbpress.php will ensure that bbpress uses it, and you can revert the page.php back to how it was, so it shouldn’t have any implications elsewhere on your site

[thefruitnation]

Yea I forgot to mention I had tried that fix Robin, sorry.. I did some more searching and found
that one person fixed it using a multisite install and another
