Hi all,

I have searched the forums but can find nothing that discusses permalinks for the latest version install of WordPress and the BBpress plugin.

This is the issue: I have set up WordPress and then installed the BBpress plugin via the plugin installer.

I have added add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ ); to my theme and then built all the template pages required so that bbpress functions.

Here is the issue which I need help with:

With the Permalinks set to DEFAULT the integration works with no issues at all. However when I turn on pretty permalinks whilst the main forum page and topic pages work the USER and USER edit pages return a page not found.

I have looking at the SINGLE SLUG area and adjusted but I just resolve the 404 errors for these particular areas.

The one thing I did try is to set up a page called USER with he BBPRESS code. THis worked for the View page but not for the edit page.

Any help appreciated.

Paul

Here’s my dilemma:

I need to add a forum section to one of my sites ASAP. I have experience using the stand alone version of bbPress as I use it for two different sites and I feel comfortable using it. I’ve been testing the plugin version, which looks great but honestly I don’t have the time right now to look into it very much and I’m feeling a bit frustrated trying to make it work as I want to.

My question is: Should I go with the stand alone version until things are stable enough and then migrate to the plugin version or am I getting myself into more trouble in the long run?

Your advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi guys ,

I couldn’t install v2 rc4 in my wordpress (latest version with mysql5 and php5). I have this error:

Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 32505856) (tried to allocate 77824 bytes) in /plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-common-template.php on line 1572

Any chance to resolve this problem without increasing my php memory? I just increased it up to 40MB with php.ini because of other plugins and my host (1&1) told me that 40 MB is the max they allow.

Thanks in advance

Hi, I´m testing bbPress 2, it works fine, but when I enter at the forum instead of appearing on the screen with the threads posted’ll stop at the desk with a summary of threads, etc..

Someone can tell me how to make upon entering the forum leads me to the threads published directly, bypassing the desktop? The theme is Andreas 09 Ciberpress.

Thanks and greetings.

Dear bbpress Experts,

How can i get the latest discussions in a topic but only for that category were the topic is in?

Lets say a have a topic in category games, then i would like to show the latest games category topics in the sidebar in that topic.

I have searched the forum and Google for this but still not come up with a solution…

Can this be done?

Thanks in advance.

Out of the 67 plugins that come up, some go back to 2009, such as this one.

So I’m not sure it is safe to assume they all are designed for bbPress 2.0.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-latest-discussion/

Since many of the plugins don’t specify, and there isn’t a list here, I guess I’m going to have to go with trial and error.

Working on getting a copy of Genesis to test with.

[John James Jacoby]

I promise if you are using BuddyPress 1.5 and bbPress 2.0 in an unmodified, vanilla installation, they work seamlessly together once you decide which forum setup to use. You can even use both of them, like I have setup at testbp.org, provided you change the bbPress 2.0 slugs in Admin > Settings > Forums.

If you need support for your site specifically, please make your own topic so you do not pollute other peoples conversations with your questions.

[Jared Atchison]

Genesis has 2 functions that I have determined are causing the problems.

http://pastie.org/2469242 (/genesis/lib/structure/post.php lines 101-143 (as of 1.7.1))

The first function is the post image function. Users have the ability to automatically set image thumbnails to appear on the archive listings. However if they turn this on, when you go to a bbPress archive page a random image from the media library ends up on the top of the page. This is turned of by default in Genesis, but is widely used.

The second function is how Genesis displays post content. You can see, depending on how the user has Genesis configured, it uses the_excerpt or the_content_limit – which results in a dead loop.

The other things I did such as remove the post info/meta, breadcrumbs, etc are just purely cosmetic. They aren’t *needed* per say, but it can look screwy if they are outputted on some of the forum pages.

As long as Genesis is forced to always use the_content and the post image option is nuked, everything should always work smoothly.

If you want to explore the option of a core patch I’d be more than happy to help you with a patch and testing

[John James Jacoby]

So by removing all of the Genesis actions, bbPress is able to do what it needs to without any kind of conflict? Seems pretty straight forward. I could transform your code into a bbPress 2.0 core patch, but I’d be flying blind not having a copy to test with.

I would literally be taking exactly what you have and making bbPress load it like it does the Akismet and BuddyPress extensions.

Plugin sounds cool and gave it a shot.

My site has 40k members and I noticed it wanted to check and ‘clean’ my users when I ran the wizard.

Not only was I not happy about it sending current user information for testing, but I noticed it would take hours to finish… not good…

I cancelled it and upon running the plugin again, it said it was reporting back a couple of users. It did not show me which users, and why they were being ‘reported’. That I was really unhappy with.

Finally, I noticed you made changes to the ‘users’ menu adding in the ‘wangard status’. It is not sortable… not friendly for large user db’s.

Suggestion:

A way for large existing sites to install the plugin without running through current users.

*They’re on my site so I trust them

Hi there!

I had the same problems as Jared posted – also working with Genesis latest version. I test for a few weeks now and thought it was all my fault until I saw this thread here finally!

@Jared Atchison:

Any news on this what to change? – I saw your forum index and such all displaying properly – want that too

Thanx for any help!

@John – First of all, can I say what an awesome move to having bbpress as a plugin is! For the average user wishing to get forums up and running, you couldn’t ask for better! Nicely done!

On more of a developer level I, the same as many of the guys posting, are probably a little thrown on the templating side of things. Just to clarify, I’ve joyfully created my fair share of wordpress themes and was looking forwarding to getting to grips with bbpress to do similar. At this point I can’t help but feel the templating side of things seems a little crazy (read awkward and unintuitive) unless i’m misunderstanding.

By means of throwing my two pence into the discussion, I’d love to see the same approach for bbpress as was undertaken for wordpress. Namely the opposite of the following:

DO NOT put any custom themes in “/bbpress/bbp-themes/” as they will get wiped out when you update bbPress.

I love that bbpress has picked up the overall theme from wordpress but having the theme for the bbpress UI elements self-contained and separate from the wordpress theme would most likely clear up a fair bit of the confusion / frustrations. I know such a comment is easily made outside of understanding the full intricacies of the platform and that making such a change would no doubt have greater implications. However and to be honest, that was the approach I was expecting – most likely given the approach I was used to with wordpress. I know a similar comment has already been made, I’d just like to tip my hat to it, and raise it again for your consideration.

Request: Custom bbpress themes to reside in “/bbpress/bbp-themes/” without risk of removal upon updates.

Reason: To retain better / cleaner organisation of theme files and reduce complexity of theme development. (The replies / questions above are testimony to this)

Payment: Pizza of your choice!

Once again awesome job, and hugely appreciate all the hard work!

I find it astonishing that there are a hundred template files with no explanation as to what any of them do.

I installed bbPress on top of WordPress. Can somebody help me out here? I’m trying to separate postings (space them apart so their not so close to each other) by using my CSS file, but for the life of me I can’t get it to work, although I am able to make other alterations.

Any suggestions?

@JohnJamesJacoby – First off, excellent work. Beautiful system. However, sorry to disagree with you, but I believe Anthony is right that there’s a problem with the plugin with both logging in and logging out (particularly when using the sidebar widget). Here’s why…

I’m testing with the bbPress RC4 installed in a WP 3.2.1 Network config using sub-directory instead of sub-domain (no BuddyPress installed, just bbPress … no other plugins installed. – I have also tested with another sidebar login plugin and everything worked fine, but I’ve uninstalled it, and when I use the bbPress login widget I get problems.) If I use the bbPress login widget and enter the right credentials it logs me in and redirects me to [site]/[site]/ which obviously a problem.

When I inspect the Login button element for the bbPress login widget I see:

<div class="bbp-submit-wrapper">

<input class="user-submit" type="submit" tabindex="104" value="Log In" name="user-submit">

<input type="hidden" value="1" name="user-cookie">

<input type="hidden" value="http://[host]/[site]/[site]/" name="redirect_to">

<input id="_wpnonce" type="hidden" value="299cce3d83" name="_wpnonce">

<input type="hidden" value="/[site]/" name="_wp_http_referer">

</div>

Since the problem is with the redirect_to hidden value, my guess is that there’s a problem with either

$redirect_to = apply_filters( ‘bbp_user_login_redirect_to’, ” );

or

bbp_redirect_to_field( $redirect_to );

which are called from bbp_user_login_fields() in the bbp-user-template.php file.

….

Moving on to Log out

…

If you correct the URL so that you’re back a the page for your site, you can now see the Gravitar, your name, and the log out link.

Again, inspecting the log out element we get:

<a href="http://[host]/[site]/wp-login.php?action=logout&_wpnonce=c08ad91218&redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2F[host]%2F[site]%2F[site]%2F%3Floggedout%3Dtrue">Log Out</a>

Again, the link to the wp-login.php is fine… it’s the redirect_to afterwards that has the site name twice that’s the problem.

I’ve also noticed that if the bbPress plugins is activated the WordPress meta for log out includes the redirect_to [site]/[site]/

If the bbPress plugin is deactivated the native WordPress meta for log out reverts back to normal (without the redirect_to).

With bbPress installed:

<a href="http://[host]/[site]/wp-login.php?action=logout&_wpnonce=07d2823a80&redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2F[host]%2F[site]%2F[site]%2F%3Floggedout%3Dtrue">Log out</a>

Without bbPress installed:

<a href="http://[host]/[site]/wp-login.php?action=logout&_wpnonce=07d2823a80">Log out</a>

I’m using a custom theme (Clockstone) that is based on dark colors. The default twentyten theme doesn’t work for me.

So I copied all the single-*, archive-*, page-* files, as well as the bbpress, css and js files into the root of my theme.

So I have wp-content/themes/Clockstone/single-forum.php as an example

I editted the css file to fit my color scheme. But once I add:

add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ );

to my functions.php then bbpress breaks completely, and all my forum links return 404 errors. If I remove that line, then the urls and forums work, but with the default theme.

I’m using the latest trunk as of today. Any suggestions?

[John James Jacoby]

Thanks for the report. See #1619 for details and fix.

[Mon Aug 29 22:41:45 2011] [error] [client x.x.x.x] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_is_active() in /var/www/x/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-extend-buddypress.php on line 172

The page won’t load(completely blank). I get that when I try to activate the buddyPress plugin, using the bbPress 2.0 and the buddyPress 1.5, both from the SVN repository.

This is due to one of the latest changes because it did work a few days ago.

By the way, any idea when are this plugins going to be released as stable? I am looking forward to using BuddyPress 1.5 in my web site(http://www.opes.es/) where I am already using bbPress 2.0.

Thank you.

[honustudios]

I’m running the latest dev version of the plugin, version 3476, in hopes that it would have solved my issue, but no luck.

I was getting the error mentioned in this thread http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/tags-archives-page-are-broken-in-bbp-20-rc2-and-rc3#post-90903

I downloaded the branch code after reading the above issue and it’s resolution. Then, I started getting the WordPress “Hands off, partner!” error which is a 500 Internal Server error in Firebug.

Any ideas about what could be causing the page to not display correctly?

Thanks so much for your help and the great plugin.

[theurbantwist]

Sorry about the popup…forgot I had activated that plugin. Was testing a few things out and left it up because I needed someone to test my code for me. Once he tests the code out with plugin activated, I will change settings so that it doesn’t pop up for quite that long and also you should’ve been able to click away to close. I may have to make that more clearer to other visitors.

Thanks again for that…

But back to the topic. Do you know what template files would have to be edited in the bbp-twentyten theme for me to play around with it to try to get it that way?

I’ve been trying to figure out what file needs to be edited and can’t seem to find it.

Thanks

[vatoloco2]

No unfortunately even with RC2 I didn’t get that activity stream working!

This is my setup:

Install WP 3.2.1

Install bbPress (first RC2 then RC3 now latest from trac.wordpress.org)

Install Buddypress (first beta1 then beta2 now latest from trac…)

Disable Discussion forums in Buddypress

With this setup I can’t see any bbPress related stuff in Buddypress activity. I have no other problems with this setup & combo! Am I doing something wrong?

[Micheal Kennedy]

Yeahp, no modifications to the forum or BuddyPress, just using the latest beta/RC versions of both. BuddyPress integration was built-in with bbPress RC2 (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress/changelog/). Should be working for ya. What’s your site?

[vatoloco2]

I am also using the beta/RC of both! That Means bbpress 2.0RC3 and Buddypress 1.5 beta2. In addition I am also up2date with latest changes by using latest branch / trunk of both via trac.wordpress.org.

As stated earlier I have no problems at all with the combo of both. The only thing that doesn’t work is the fact that any bbpress forum post / topic / reply won’t appear in the buddypress activity stream.

So how did InterMike of allmad.org got this done? Any hint?

[Milan Petrovic]

This is only first version, and I have few more things planned down the road, but it needs testing for now to make sure that everything is OK. So, all bug reports and suggestions are welcome.

[Micheal Kennedy]

Not sure if this belongs here or in Trac, or both, so I guess I’ll stick it in both

I used the Latest Topics short code on a new page (“Latest Rants”) and I set that page as my homepage (via Settings > Reading), but now, if I, for example, click on page 2 of Latest Rants (which is pointing to site.com/page/2), it redirects me to the blog posts URL site.com/2011/08/14/21/.

I’ve tried refreshing permalinks, but that didn’t work Any help would be greatly appreciated! As it’s rendering my homepage a little unuseful at the moment.
