I tried testing the single-forum-edit.php template, but couldn’t find where to. I have two separate installs, one with bbPress alone and the other with BuddyPress + group forums + site-wide forum.

For the separate bbPress install, /edit returns 404. If BuddyPress uses single-forum-edit.php, where is the edit link supposed to be?

Saw you created a ticket on trac; thanks!

I tested on Chrome 20 and Aurora (Firefox 15) and it works for me.

Most likely a JS error, or some other conflict. Marking as resolved, since it works by itself.

I have a fresh blog install of 3.4.1 and a fresh install of bbPress 2.1 RC2. I created a test forum and I see this when I’m typing up a forum post.

As you can see the text is there once I publish the post, but the input is invisible. That occurs for me when using either the visible or HTML editor.

Any ideas?

I keep having a problem within my bbPress forums: when a registered user posts a new topic or reply, it does not show up immediately or not for all users:

– In some cases the new topic or reply only shows up the next day, in other cases after half an hour, it’s completely unpredictable.

– Sometimes user X can see the latest addition, while user Y (with exactly the same role / rights) can not see it.

– Some new replies do not even show up in my WP-admin dashboard.

– The freshness displayed in the frontend is lagging very much behind.

I have tried various things that I found in related support calls:

– Recount – no effect

– (re)Save permalinks settings and bbPress settings

– Disable Akismet – no effect

– Deactivate and reactivate bbPress – no effect

– Deleting the entire forum and creating a new one – no effect

I am using WordPress 3.4.1 and bbPress 2.0.3 in conjunction with the Twenty Eleven theme. The problem occurred also in earlier versions of WordPress by the way.

Does anybody have a clue how to resolve this? I am at the end of my wits…

Mmmmm tried and got this

Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_current_site_name() in xxxxxxx/wp-content/plugins/forum-restrict/index.php on line 488

I do think bbPress was setting the posts to Pending before putting them through moderation, but this may not be a bbPress bug.

I’ve been trying most any troubleshooting step I can find.

I turned off EnableSendfile in Apache, and every forum post has come through successful since then. But since the issue was intermittent and only a few people are testing the forums right now, it’s hard to tell.

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#enablesendfile

My memory utilization is still pretty high, but I cranked down my Apache settings considerably (using recommended settings for a 256MB VPS on my 2GB VPS) and I turned off eaccellerator in PHP as well.

If I get a few more successful test posts from users, then I’ll close the ticket in Trac.

Memory utilization could really be any bad piece of PHP code on my site, and I’m not sure where that is coming from yet. But if no one else reports it, then my case is anecdotal.

[enderandrew]

Not sure if you saw my last post, but Akismet says it marked 17 comments as spam, but there are no pending comments. There were however pending forum posts. So it looks like Akismet was flagging them.

I’m Googling up right now and people have run into issues in the past when using Cloudflare where Akismet marks everything as spam because multiple accounts appear to be coming from one IP address.

This was supposedly fixed in the beginning of June with the latest Akismet plugin which I’m running.

I could disable Akismet and see if that resolves it.

My error log keeps showing PHP memory errors:

PHP Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 63963136) (tried to allocate 49152 bytes) in /var/www/wp-admin/includes/ajax-actions.php on line 1483, referer: http://blindscribblings.com/topic/test-post/

I’m not seeing anything consistent before those errors to suggest what is happening. If there is a way to trace how much memory is used by each PHP page along the way, or to trace the memory consumption in any way, I’d be happy to try it.

You can see my phpinfo() here.

Ahhh, thanks. I’ve been at this for a while, first using Tools > Import, then I installed the bbconverter standalone plugin, and that plugin made it seem like it was the other way around, despite the name “reset.”

This latest version makes it a bit clearer, but I was already “conditioned” by the old version. My fault. Thanks for the help.

[garteth69]

I have a Buddypress site which I wish to take advantage of the sitewide forums facility.

I have done what I imagine to be all of the necessary setup required but still users cannot create new forums, replies or topics.

If anyone wishes to see my setup who may have some suggestions for me the website is http://www.socialmummys.com. The test account is Username: test Password: test. The tab to click on is sitewide forums.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I’m having the same error but not after upgrading anything.

It worked just fine this morning, throughout the day I installed and uninstalled various plugins (after testing their features and feeling unsatisfied). My site has the same plugins set as this morning, same bbPress and WordPress versions, no other plugin has been updated, but now when I’m trying to reach the main bbpress forums page, I have this error message.

“Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 72 bytes) in /home/users5/a/asceeceteo/www/wordpress/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 137”

@jaredatch: I tried the memory bump plugin but it didnt fix the problem

[efioanwan]

I think I created a forum and then a topic, each separately! Well, thanks and again, I want to be able to have reply nested as many as possible. But I don’t see a “Reply” on the “Reply” box?

[efioanwan]

Hi John, yes I did.

[John James Jacoby]

Did you create any forums?

[efioanwan]

Hi, I have just downloaded bbPress. To test my forum, I created a topic and then attempted to reply to it but I get the error msg that the Forum ID is missing/not found.

What is a Forum ID? And where can I find it? What should I do next?

This is kind of urgent, please. Someone help?

[MTPrower]

2.0.3. bbPress 2.1 will be out soon? Do you have a changelog I can look over? I’m excited to see it.

Also, I’m putting my site on hiatus. I’m tired of it for a while. But you know what I would like to do? I’d like to help with bbPress. I think the total integration with WordPress that bbPress has is one of the best things ever accomplished for the blogging platform. I would love to assist, do some testing, give some of my thoughts, help promote bbPress, and even help with some new features that I have been hoping or wishing I could see in bbPress’s future.

I don’t know how much help you guys get, but it doesn’t seem like a lot. I wouldn’t ever want to see bbPress die. I want to help, if I may. I know very little about PHP or HTML, but every coder should have a team, to help with the things that coders aren’t best at. I want to help!

Hi all,

Is there any way to display the latest posts in a specific forum on a regular WordPress template page?

Thanks.

Hi there everyone,

I am new to bbpress and am currently developing my latest project (a premium forum skin / themes project).. I have a few questions and would really appreciate any feedback / thoughts.

(1) – Is it possible to display certain forums / categories to certain user-groups ? I would like to hide / make private forums for customers so only they can see their threads / staff replies.

(2) – How and where do i start editing css to blend the forums to match my website / can i create a custom bbpress style (if so how ??) Really in need of some help here.

A huge thanks in advanced for any help here, i am really looking at implementing this asap, currently weighting up using bbpress or a 3rd party script like Xenforo or something similar however the more scripts i need to bridge the messier / more long term work will be required (updates etc).

Regards, Darren

[AAShepAA]

I just updated to the latest WordPress and also the newest bbPress plugin. It broke my custom theme so I went to the stock TwentyEleven theme with no modifications to bbPress.

All is OK (working) – except that I have no sidebar on my /Forums page. How can I add that so that my widgets show up? Must be simple but I just can’t seem to figure it out.

Thanks ahead of time for any help offered.

Have successfully integrated bbpress 2.0.3 into twentytwelve responsive theme that was updated with WP 3.4. (Had to start again, as WP 3.4 broke another theme.) I am using it with WPMU Membership plugin and that works too. The membership is private, access to the forums shows up in the menu when a user has logged in, members are added manually.

The one thing I have not been able to do is to format (CSS) the bbpress user profile/account page. And if I enter a full path to a user account into a new browser that has no users logged in their information shows up and can be edited!!! (example: http://mysite.ca/forums/neighbours/test-user/)

This is a cross post with WPMUDEV, as their membership plugin is involved, but I am asking if there is something I can do with bbpress files to make the profile pages more secure and properly styled. Can I somehow forward the user profile to a page I can format better? Please advise. The security issue troubles me most.

Hello,

I installed bbPress no admin in a WordPress 3.4 site, I created a test user (Subscriber) and still does take the user to WordPress backend. There is anyway to troubleshoot this plugin?

Thanks,

[shanebp]

Anyone have any ideas?

Same post is here…

http://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/1-6-beta-forums-setup/

Anyone else confused by the 1.6 beta – forums setup ?

Using WP 3.4, BP 1.6 beta

I’m trying to get sitewide forums working.

In wp-admin: Settings-BuddyPress-Forums

I see buttons to install: Group Forums and SiteWide Forums.

I have installed SiteWide Forums and activated it.

So why does Settings-BuddyPress-Forums still have an install button ?

And do we really need a separate bbPress plugin for site-wide forums?

I can create a new forum in wp-admin

I created a page “…com/forums”

I’ve assigned it to Discussion Forums in bp-settings – Pages

If I go to that page, I get this

“The forums component has not been set up yet.”

And the Forums link does not show up in the main nav.

In Settings- Forum -Archive Slugs – Forums base is set to ‘forums’ shows this warning:

“Possible BuddyPress conflict: Forums page”

If I set it to ‘forumsbb’ – the warning goes away.

If I go to Forums in wp-admin and view the forum, it takes me to

“…com/forumsbb/forum//test-forum/”

But the Forums link is still not in the main nav.

And goes to /forums still gives me

“The forums component has not been set up yet.”

How to correct those issues ?

Hi

I installed the upload avatar plugin, but I can;t see how to use it. I activated it. I noticed my test account pulled my gravatar, is this why?

TY

[John James Jacoby]

I need more specific information to be helpful. Also, the visual editor isn’t built into the template files, so they should not directly be the cause.

I run bbPress 2.1 at testbp.org with the visual editor on; so something else must be up.

[Reflecting]

I thought that the latest version of bbPress resolved the issues that cropped up with the WordPress 3.4 upgrade. However, some of the admin on our site are still getting the following out of memory error message when trying to add a new post to our site http://www.optionmillionaires.com

Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 15466496) (tried to allocate 19456 bytes) in /home/optionmi/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-user-template.php on line 558

At first I wasn’t even able to install bbPress, but our web host increased our memory limit to 64M, and I thought everything was fine. I was able to add the forum, several related bbPress plugins, and have been adding forums and topics today. However, I just got word from two of the admin that they received the above message when attempting to post. It eventually lets them, but there’s obviously something going on. Any ideas on a fix?
