Are you running a caching plugin on your main (blog) website?

[Jaja..]

Hello,

I’ve been following some discussions on here about some problems and my main focus was on the Cache problems.

At this moment i’ve got a Blog and would like to add a support forum.

What would be the best option to go with?

(1) Just activate the bbPress plugin on my main (blog) website.

(2) Install the bbPress plugin on a Fresh and new WP install inside a directory-/folder.

I’m running WP SuperCache on my main (blog) WP install.

(1) http://example.com/ <– WP install – my blog

(2) http://example.com/<forums>/ <– a NEW WP installation only for bbPress

The reason i would like option 2 better is that i don’t have to activate a Cache plugin for the forums. It’s mostly all text content , no images so WHY Cache a forum?

What would you do and why?

I have auto-embed enabled in WordPress Media options, and in the Forum options, yet links are still not converted: http://pantheones.com.au/forums/topic/media-test/

Can anyone help?

They are two different versions of bbPress, which is primarily why they look so different.

The lastest version of bbPress is 2.x while bbPress.org is running (I believe) 1.x.

I am having an issue getting custom profile fields to work.

I have used the following code as a wordpress plugin and a bbPress plugin:

function set_my_profile_info_keys($myarray) {

$myarray = array(

‘testfield’ => array(0, __(‘TestField’))

);

return $myarray;

}

add_filter(‘get_profile_info_keys’, ‘set_my_profile_info_keys’);

However this doesn’t show the field on a users profile to allow them to edit it. I have also tried other variations of this code I have found on this forum and others but to no avail.

Any help getting this working would be much appreciated.

I have to agree with thruxton, this all may sound like elementary settings to you tech guys but to a newb…its wierdly complicated to set up.

I have a Themeforest template I installed my self on WP in less time LOL.

I also agree that bbpress looks like a great set up, and still very much want to run it. Im not a quitter

so far I set up a forum page, made 5 topics with test text, added a link to my menu’s and sidebars (all while signed in to my WP site) not my bbpress persay…thats my issue, I cant seem to set up this log in page, I have no clue what this URI is

instructions say “make a log in page” yet there is no such thing in BB as a “page”.

So I then made a WP page and called it forum. and the log in shortcode worked! except it would let me make a log in??

Then I wondered how the BB forum I previously made with 5 topics, was to get linked up with this new WP page called “forum”

I bin up one side and down da udder with this thing, couple hrs a night after work for the last 3 days!! geeeez I feel re taw did

There…I feel better now that I vented…wife doesn’t wanna hear it

When I login with my test account and go to edit profile it takes me to the user profile in wp-admin.

In there it shows buttons for Topics and Replies. How do I remove Topics and Replies from that?

My bbpress site is now being tested by joe public.

Every time one view’s a forum category and then chooses a forum from that category, it automatically takes them to a forum under a different category.

For instance, if I view…

Forums, North East, Country Durham, the breadcrumb trails shows that’s where I am, but when I click on the “schools” forum the breadcrumb trail changes to show I am in the schools forum but under a different category – and it’s always South West, Devon!!!

Why do all my forums default back to South West, Devon ??!!

When they were created, I chose the correct hierarchy and can view this is still correct from the Forum, All Forums in the dashboard.

You can see the issues here… http://lifeafterlondon.com/?page_id=973

I would really appreciate someones help with this – THANK YOU.

@OC2PS

I was testing and got the same error message using the standard upload (didn’t use the plugin you have listed) but after I clicked on Installed Plugins and went back to try it again, it went through fine. At that point, I see two bbpress installs listed with the 2.0.2 version active and 3786 inactive.

Very strange.

[intimez]

I’m testing with the following:

wordpress3.3.1, buddypress1.5.4, bbpress2.1r3786

After activating buddypress and then going all the way up to the forum part, what exactly is the step to get it configured? I do not want to use Group Forums. I click on Install Site Wide Forums it tells me it is installed.

This was a problem before the 2.1 beta so …

What is being done in the 2.1 beta that addresses this?

How should users configure it via upload if they are not using plugin search?

[Regis Fortes]

I had the same problem. It seems the environment variables used at the function bbp_logout_url inside

bbp-common-functions.php was not working well at http server here or are deprecated. So, I changed the line <$redirect_to = home_url( isset( $_SERVER ) ? $_SERVER : ” );> with this one <$redirect_to = $_SERVER.$_SERVER;>. I do not know if this fixed the problem definitly , because i am testing yet, but the redirect error stoped to occur.

I’m I really can’t say because I use SVN to sync up with the latest version. Maybe jjj will have some input.

[hock88]

Thanks for the quick reply!

Will try it now.

Thanks.

[Jared Atchison]

There is a “Recent Activity” widget that comes with bbPress – typically I just use that

[hock88]

Hi jaredatch,

Thanks for the reply. BTW do you have any suggestion or recommendation to share?

Thanks.

[Jared Atchison]

Should be fixed if you get the latest 2.1 download. Again, thanks for reporting and props jjj for the quick fix.

[kannued]

Thanks jaredatch! Found the plugin.

[Jared Atchison]

bbPress has a widget that can show the latest activity (you can set how many).

I would suggest creating a new sidebar area, place that on your homepage, and then use the bbPress activity widget in it.

[kannued]

On my home page which is straight html/css, I would like to pull the latest discussions, about 3 entries, from my bbpress page. How would I do this so it would automically update on my home page as new posts occur?

[Jared Atchison]

You would need to post that in the support forum for that plugin, which is here

https://wordpress.org/tags/bbpress-latest-discussion?forum_id=10

Unfortunately, according to https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-bbpress-latest-discussion-dropping-all-bbld-support-and-development it seems the plugin is no longer supported.

I would suggest trying to find a different one to use, that is actively being maintained.

@JJJ: Which version are you trying?

I am using the latest version of WordPress 3.3.1

I have tried both bbPress 2.0 and 2.0.2

I installed bbConverter through WP’s admin panel so the plugin version is 1.3

When I click Activate immediately upon installation, I get

The plugin does not have a valid header.

[mudechevy]

It seems I have the other pages looking fine with the sidebar but the single topic page shoves my sidebar below the forums. How can I fix this? I’m using custom community theme with bbpress & buddypress. http://www.wisewahm.com/forum/topic/test/

[hock88]

Hi,

Good day to all community,

I am starting up a site, and I am setting up the BBPress Latest Discussions Plugin. I have installed and integrated WP & BB. Once I activate the plugin and use the call for the latest discussion on the wordpress page I am given this error

“It Seem There Is Something Wrong With BBLD Configuration, Please Check It.”

What should I set?

Thanks,

Hock88

[jamieskella]

I think I may have a related issue, two of them in fact:

– For some reason my forum index won’t show more than 5 forums. If I create 7, 2 are hidden.

– My topics list only shows 5 topics, even though it says “Viewing 5 topics 1 through 15”

Please see example here: http://pantheones.com.au/latest-posts/

Do you have any idea why this would be?

[kaifanun]

same issue here. For testing just to make sure if any of my other plugins or themes are not the cause, I have installed bbPress on a fresh WP install without any other plugins and I get the same error.

any solutions yet?
