Yeah well I deactivated all the oher plugins (only two of em anyway) and it still does it. I also tried it locally on my test machine, same versions of everything and same result. So I can rule out memory or plugin conflicts at least.

Really annoying, what’s the point of having the older versions for download then if it’s not really supposed to work with them? The page even gives you a ‘will it/won’t it work with…x version’ drop down to see if it’s compatible.

Is it possibly a server config issue?
I am also getting this error:

Error: Are you sure you wanted to do that? New install, no bbpress files changed

and their fix was to move from a godaddy test server to a real domain…..

[Garindan]

It’s ok 🙂

My site was on a godaddy test server. I have moved it to final domain/server now and all is working well 🙂

Hello,
in my test website I use WordPress 3.4.1, bbPress 2.1.2, permalink set to /%postname%/ and a handful of plugins which I have deactivated to avoid conflicts.
Basically when I try to submit a topic or a reply from the frontend, as a subscriber, I get the ‘white page’. The topic/reply is created, as admin I can edit it from the backend, but it doesn’t have the permalink and the edit permalink button. Also, the topic/reply is counted but it is shown in the corresponding frontend lists (obviously clicking on it gives a 404-page not found) only if I’m NOT logged in as admin.
If I write a topic/reply from the frontend while logged in as admin, I don’t get the white screen but still the topic/reply is created whithout permalink.
If I add as admin a topic/reply from the backend then the permalink is created and everything works. Also the topics/replies added from the backend are the only topics/replies that are shown in the frontend list while logged in as admin.
Thanks a lot!
Best regards

Can i find somewhere php code also to insert it directly to my template?

@Lynq:
Thanks for the tip!
Never saw the “Forum Search” here – nice but not what I really want.

That would mean 6 searches (because we have 6 forums here currently) plus using the additional “Reply Search” if I am in a long (single) topic thread…

Also, both search boxes are only visible at second or third sight, better would be the occasional search box at the top or so…

And if we are already on topic: just implement a proper search in bbPress core, that’s what the users want. Every user that asked me for any bbPress 2.x help wanted a proper forum search. Everyone. Period. So there’s really a need for that. (I’d love to drop my search widget plugin ASAP!!!)

One could find some information, yes, but it’s really ineffective and NOT how it should be as an native implementation.

A proper full text search over the complete forum – and an extra search over the Codex here – or both combined would be of greatest usefulness for all users here I guess!

If it’s not possible just implement a proper Google Custom Search (already on WordPress.org…) — maybe I am doing just that for myself: setting up another Google Custom Search because the current situation does just not satisfy me (and don’t fits to this community here IMHO).

Thanks, Dave 🙂

Hi all, have just finished installing bbpress on a website. Got everything set up and ready to go, site was meant to go online today. Went to test forum and add first sticky post. Upon clicking ‘submit’ it comes back saying ‘Error: Are you sure you wanted to do that?’ in a pink box. I haven’t changed any bbpress files except bhp-common-template, changed forum base breadcrumb to point to my own page. Thats it! Any idea’s? I’ve also added forum pages to custom post types so I can add my theme options. Might that do anything? Using latest bbpress, compatability theme, and InFocus by MySiteMyWay as my theme.

Edit: Have removed custom post types and tested, no different. Created new forums and tested, no different. Tested with forum profile and a site admin profile, no different. Also tested with different browsers, doesn’t work 🙁

If I go into a forum category and not just the latest posts on the home page I see a forum search to the left, what do you see if you visit this page: https://bbpress.org/forums/forum/installation/

[Pedro Maia]

I’m looking for this too. I found a shortcode that do this, but I’m not sure if it’s the same of this forum. The shortcode is: [bbp-topic-index]

Hi, all. In the BBpress plugin for WordPress, the default theme does not contain log-in and profile links at the header of every page. How do I add this? Thanks!

Edit: Also. How do I add the latest discussions to the home page?

This is created and maintained by me since the 2.x branch!

Thanks, Dave 🙂

I have just realised that Figero likes to make a stab at the page the user is on so that when viewing a page such as:

http://www.nordhavndreamers.com/forums/topic/test/

Figero, puts a link just under the menu which says

You are here: >> Home >> Topic >> Test

(with Home and Topic as URL links)

The problem though is that if you click the link, “Topic”, you get a 404 page not found.

Need some advice.

Thanks.

So, oddly, the install of bbPress on my site is v 2.0.1, and the latest version is 2.1. Yet, I have no option to upgrade in my plugins screen..

Is there a reason why bbPress wouldn’t see the new version availability (and can it be fixed), or failing that, can I manually upgrade to 2.1 somehow?

I assume i could just copy new files over from the latest release, but perhaps there are database structural changes that this wouldn’t account for?

I am using both the Recent Topics and the Recent Replies widgets. The Recent Replies widget works beautifully, but the Recent Topics widget seems erratic. I have it set to list topics by “Newest Topic”, but the order seems unpredictable. Sometimes it uses the creation date, and other times the latest reply date. Sometimes a reply causes it to change the date it shows, and sometimes it doesn’t. It is not a crippling issue, but curious. Was there a recent update that could have changed the behavior? I am using the latest WP (3.4.1) and BBPress (2.1.2), and tried using the recount tools–they didn’t help. The website is here: http://poetryroundup.us/whup/
Any help will be appreciated.

I am wanting to change the post count instead to a reply count, same as the current bbPress forum does. How would I go about doing that? I have tried to google and search through these forums but unfortunately haven’t found the answer yet.

I am using the latest version of bbPress and WordPress and my forum is currently in test mode at netballscoop.com/forums

[ryuken2]

I am doing the testing on bitnami stack, so not uploaded to my blog yet.

I tried hacking via firebug and checking the CSS file. It is not showing me the results.

Hey guys, the converter in BBpress worked out pretty well. There was some issues with emoticons not being converted properly but I ran into a more troubling issue. When a forum user tries to login into our site they get a php warning.

“Warning: require_once(bbp-converter.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/cog/public_html/test-site/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-user-functions.php on line 1466

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘bbp-converter.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/cog/public_html/test-site/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-user-functions.php on line 1466”

It seems to be unable to find the bbp-converter file. This could possibly have something to do with our urls as the sites path is http://64.64.27.114/~cog/test-site/ and as you can see up above the path it is trying taking differs. Any thoughts on how I could resolve this? None of the users can login in right now.

Hi

i use worpress 3.4.1 and I installed bbpress 2.1.2 on my site karnhack.com.

I have the permalink activated (I have tried to reset it) and the wordpress page is named karnhack.com/forum-test

When i click the forum “provaforum” bbpress opens the contents out of my site and ignores the permalink /forum-test/

Could someone help me? thank you very much

[Zion Oyemade]

When a user login to the the site, they are automatically logged out out when the forum is visited. The only exception is the ‘admin’
I really need a fix to this issue.

I’m using the latest version of WordPress, and my site is http://www.cvshore.com; bb version is 2.1.2

[jtbw911]

I’ve hacked away at this for way too long; but, I seem to have gotten it down to an issue with the rewrite mod and permalinks. Permalinks for posts seem to work, but, not anything that plugins add. I’ve also put up a mod_rewrite test PHP page and it says that mod_rewrite is not working properly; so, I’ll keep working on that issue.

[raskall]

No change:

[Stephen Edgar]

Try this and post the link back here:

• Create a WordPress page eg. bbpress-test would be http://pedalterapi.net/bbpress-test
• Add the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] to the page https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

Does this now include the forum description?
