try the following to se if you can pinpoint a conflict in live

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.

I just installed bbpress 2.5.4 on WordPress 4.1, on two different websites.

On my test site, everything is working as expected, but on my live site (which has SSL) every time I try to access the default https://mysite.com/forums/ I get the following error:

Fatal error: ob_end_flush(): Cannot use output buffering in output buffering display handlers in /homepages/wordpress/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3269

I can create a new page with a different name than “forums” and use the shortcode successfully, but the breadcrumbs have a direct link to the “/forums” and it gives the same error.

Any idea what may be going on?

Thanks!

Notice: bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly. The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init().

I have been getting this message from 2 years ago and I have been reading all the related posts and Q&As from time to time, but it seems that this problem is not resolved yet. I sure that this is a bbPress issue or the issue of Customize template/function for wordpress. Because I have tested with no plugin, so it’s not the case of conflicting plugin and I used WordPress default themes(Twenty Fourteen & Twenty Fifteen).
My wordpress version is 4.1 & my bbpress version is 2.5.4.

The most important thing is that message is only shown on the admin’s ‘Customize‘ page.
I’m developing my own theme, so I want to fix it without disabling WP_DEBUG config.

I have tested bbpress forums in diffrent themes. In Techism and Colorway the “Latest post” and “Latest threads” display the users avatar in the widgets.

But now I am testing twenty twelve and there is no avatar showing in these widgets.

Please advice where to activate avatars in the widgets or where the CSS code for this is found.

i had this kind of layout one day messing around with bbPress templates in my child theme.

i think its close to this but i havent tested it to make sure.

its without the permalinks though , i had permalinks before but right now i just breezing through the templates and trying to find them.

for the forum loop

<a href"<?php bbp_forum_last_topic_permalink(); ?>"><?php bbp_forum_last_topic_title(); ?></a>

for the topic loop

<a href"<?php bbp_topic_last_reply_permalink(); ?>"><?php bbp_topic_last_reply_title(); ?></a>

EDIT: added permalinks

[Robkk]

We have installed the latest bbPress + latest WP on our site. Also we have Disqus if this matter.

yeah Disqus not really

We read that bbPress is integrated with ‘Discussion’ settings from WP installation.

well it does but only the comment blacklist and comment moderation , not anything else yet.

more info on this link.

(codex.bbpress.org/moderation-and-blacklisting/)

No answer here? Perhaps a plugin?

sorry its the holidays in the U.S. , we are spending time with families.

there is a plugin though!

I am running bbpress 2.5.4 on WordPress 4.0.1.

I am using bbpress as a private discussion board for each of my life coaching clients. Utilizing “bbP private groups”plugin by Robin Wilson, I basically assign each user to a private group that only them and I are a part of. I then create a Private Forum which I assign as only visible to their private group. Then I am able to have a thread of conversations by topic under each person in which we can respond back and forth.

A couple of my clients are having difficulties when posting replies. It seems that their longer replies are cutting off content when they submit a reply. I have tested and posted extremely long replies, so it is not a length problem. They say that they do not get logged out and the reply submits regularly. But when the page loads, only a portion of the reply is there. I am thinking it may be timing out and only saving what they typed up to a certain time?

Any idea as to why this is happening would be helpful.

Hi,

We have installed the latest bbPress + latest WP on our site. Also we have Disqus if this matter.

We read that bbPress is integrated with ‘Discussion’ settings from WP installation.

In our ‘Discussion’ settings we have:

In ‘E-mail me whenever‘ section:

‘Anyone posts a comment‘ – Checked

In >Before a comment appears section:

Comment must be manually approved – Checked
Comment author must have a previously approved comment – Checked

…however it seems that in our forums anyone can post without our approval. (We have the ‘anonymous posting’ in bbPress’ settings ‘on’).

What we want to do is:

Anyone can post but their first post must be approved in order for the author to have the right to post freely from there on.

How can we achieve this?

@tajender

You’d need to modify

wp-content/bbpress/templats/default/bbpress/form-reply.php

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/%your-theme-name%/bbpress
find
wp-content/bbpress/templats/default/bbpress/form-reply.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

you should really do this inside a child theme

Functions files and child themes – explained !

but if you do it in your main theme, keep a copy of what youb have done as updates are likely to overwrite

The you would need to modify line 20

<?php if ( bbp_current_user_can_access_create_reply_form() ) : ?>

to put in a check to see if it’s current user

It’s too near xmas, and I have too much else on to write and test the code but it will involve bbp_get_currect_user and the topic author $user_id

Help!
I’m trying to get replycounts after the the latest posttitle. (widget)
e.g:
Avatar – Name – date – title – (number of replies)
I can’t get it working. This is sofar I have now:

$forum_id = bbp_get_topic_forum_id($topic_id); 
		$topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id($widget_query->post->ID);
		$reply_id   = bbp_get_reply_id( $widget_query->post->ID );

					$reply_link = '<a class="bbp-reply-topic-title" href="' . esc_url( bbp_get_reply_url( $reply_id ) ) . '" title="' . esc_attr( bbp_get_reply_excerpt( $reply_id, 50 ) ) . '">' . bbp_get_reply_topic_title( $reply_id ) . '</a> ('.bbp_get_topic_post_count($forum_id, $topic_id, $total_count).')<br />'. esc_attr( bbp_get_reply_excerpt( $reply_id, 40 ) ) . '';

This is a snippet form the BBP latest post widget. It counts replies but not for separatly the latest post. It gives wrong results and those countresults are different on what page you’re visting. (index, forum, topicpage ect.)
Could somebody put me in the wright direction?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi there,

So, took forever but eventually the importer finished, all the forums are there, when you go to debates and replies in admin they are all there and assigned to the right users, but when going to the user side of things, the forums and subforums are there with the correct count of posts and so on within them but when you go in to any of them, there´s no threads, as if it was empty (even if the count is right and it does mention latest posts and threads and so on.

[Robin W]

ok, the software is held in files, the content (forums, topics etc) is held in the database.

Please read

https://codex.bbpress.org/creating-a-test-site/

for a long explanation of how wordpress is structured.

I believe you issue is as simple as that the level of user that you are does not permit you to se the ‘backend’ – that is the forum stuff in the dashboard – so deleting and recreating the plugin will not help you.

The answer I think is to go into phpmyadmin, and edit your entry to give yourself permission as per previous answer.

The link above should give you sufficient to be able to find your entry and edit it.

Hello!

I would love to make it so, to post on other forums, users have to put a post in a Welcome forum, to introduce themselves. Does anyone know a plugin to make this work?

Thanks!

(latest version of wordpress and bbpress, bindebros.com)

[j0n4h]

http://www.animusesports.com/forums/topic/this-is-a-test/

bbpress Version 2.5.4
WordPress 4.1

For whatever reason, only my posts are visibly correct in post count under user avatar in the forums. Everyone else shows as having 0 posts. I’ve tried repairing each of the repairable items in the Tools>Forums to no avail.

Ideas?

Thanks in advance.

[DVDfever]

So, I’ve logged in as a test user, to my bbpress forum, but it’s still saying “You must be logged in to create new topics”

So users cannot create posts. Why is this, please?

Thanks.

@skisma

The shortcodes can be used on any wordpress page

so if fro instance you wanted a menu item that display the most recent 15 topics across all your forums, so that when people selected this menu item that what they saw, then you would

1. create a page – maybe called ‘latest topics’
2. put the shortcode into the content section in this case

[bbp-topic-index]

3. add that page to the menu

[Robin W]

I think you mean breadcrumbs the following shows breadcrumbs

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

They are still there, so you should see them, might be another plugin or your theme is hiding them

try

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.

Update: conversion speed varies a lot during my latest import.

For example, the rate was 700 replies converted in 1 hour. Later in the day, the peak conversion rate hit about 20,000 replies in 1 hour.

I’m nearly there now, about 80% of replies have been converted.

Next begins the repair process to try and find parent forums for all the orphaned replies.

Hi Robin!

Sorry about that- I forgot the forum was set to “hidden”!

Thank you!

@andriuss

you should make sure you have a backup set just in case

and then update bbPress to the latest version.

[Robin W]

quick reply as I’m on my way out, so untested, but put the following in your functions file

function remove_sep ($args) {
$args['before' ] = '' ;
Return $args ;
}

add_filter ('bbp_before_get_topic_subscription_link_parse_args', 'remove_sep') ;

If it doesn’t work, come back and I’ll do it properly and test it for you !

Hello there,

Just integrated bbpress into my website, and noticed a strange CSS issue.

The replies in forums are shifted to the left, slightly wider than the original post. This not only makes the author’s avatar shift to the left, but it also hides my left-sided border.

This occurred BEFORE I started tampering with the CSS.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Here’s my mock forum: http://bellynsoul.com/forums/topic/another-test-topic/#post-7650

Thanks so much!

Update WordPress to the latest version as well as bbPress? You should be fine, they’re compatible. It’s mostly other plugins you might have to worry about, but generally things should work. Make sure you take a backup of your data before proceeding.
