The solution in this post will resolve your problem.

Tons of Depreciated Errors

It involves editing a bbPress file called bb-load.php.

The error is because your host is using a very new version of PHP (5.3.2) and the way bbPress is doing this has been “deprecated” (made obsolete) in the new version of PHP. Everything will still work, but in the future PHP may change and these functions will error out.

The latest trunk version of bbPress also includes a fix for this.

If you can specify a PHP version lower than 5.3, like 5.2.something, that will hide the errors as well.

Okay, i have been reading this forum for a few hours now and i need somebody to tell me what’s best.

First, i have installed bbPress once before, a few months ago to give it a try and see if it was something for me because i’m a fan of the WordPress system and it’s plugins.

It worked very good i had no problems because i just needed some basic plugins nothing fancy, but it was only a testing install and never got public before i deleted it.

But now i need to get things going and start building for some project.

I have this project where 2 different game-based sites have to match each other and become one, it’s a game-blog and game-forum based site so thats why i was first thinking of a WordPress site along with a bbPress forum. Very simple and deep integrated in each other to keep both working together.

But when i read this support forum it makes me turn around a few times and not knowing what to do best. Should i go for the bbPress (standalone) version or should i wait for the bbPress WordPress plugin.. I don’t know how things are working out on that side but it feels like this plugin take forever,, No i don’t wanna be rude to all people working on it, (only respect) but is there a time-period set for this plugin to be released?

And if there is one, will it become Beta first and after 2 or 3 years a final and stable product?

What will happen to people (forums) using the bbPress standalone version? will there be a settings option so we could update or upgrade our standalone version to the WordPress plugin version without losing the forum-data?

Or should we start all over again with a fresh clean install?

And yes, i’m already thinking of switching to the plugin based bbPress because i think the standalone version will not be supported and looked after when the plugin version goes live.

Also something i would like to know, i’ve also read a few spam topics with people having trouble catching spam bots..

Is this a regular thing? Because it’s bbPress, it attach spam bots like every clean installed WordPress site will have a spam message in 5 days without doing anything on the site..

I don’t mind if there is something to catch those gangsters but if bbPress has some kind of “weak” (spam) based code i will not like the forum idea for my site.

Don’t get me wrong, i don’t mind to delete a spam message once in a while but if i daily need to delete 25 spam messages while i have running a spam-catch plugin it will not make me very happy..

So could anybody tell me what to do?

I like the bbPress system because it’s “easy” to customize and you’re not working in all the same community themes like you see on most forums..

[CorpCommander]

This is a weird one. I started with bbPress as a stand alone installation. I then did an integration with WordPress. The main effect of that was it wiped out my users. OK, not terrible, there were only a few. However I noticed that no plugins seem to work. I installed Human Test and I can see it in the wordpress plugins folder. It is activated but there is no change to the registration page.

Any idea what might be wrong?

[John James Jacoby]

Just pushed an update through that is a solid first pass at forum and topic freshness. Some testing would be awesome.

Things @todo on this front: sub-forum tree topic/reply walking, better hierarchical reply support (topic walker), and go get a burrito (dinner)

[John James Jacoby]

Just pushed an update through that will fix the topic freshness order when creating new topics and replying to existing ones. This fix changes the way topics are pulled from the DB, and as a result is not backwards compatible with previous versions of the plugin. (Oh the dangers of beta testing.)

This is however the way it will work going forward, so you won’t need to worry about going through this again.

Forum counts and freshness links are coming next.

[Rich Pedley]

It’s fairly easy to do

check the style.css in the included twentyten child theme and you’ll see this:

/**

* Theme Name: bbPress - Twenty Ten

* Theme URI: http://bbpress.org

* Description: Adds bbPress forums to Twenty Ten theme

* Author: The bbPress Community

* Version: 0.1

* Template: twentyten

* Tags: bbpress, black, blue, white, two-columns, fixed-width, custom-header, custom-background, threaded-comments, sticky-post, translation-ready, microformats, rtl-language-support, editor-style

*/

The template denotes another available theme that you are making this the child of. If you include the main style sheet, you don’t need to re-reference everything. eg. @import url("../twentyten/style.css");

So create a new theme directory by including that, and copy all the other files(ie not style.css) from plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten (not forgetting to rename the Theme name)

However you might want to copy in the default style, this start’s with:

/* bbPress Style

*/

Then you need to check where the get_header(), get_sidebar() & get_footer() are in your parent theme.

If they are in this order:

get_header();

/* Content */

get_sidebar();

get_footer();

you don’t have to do anything.

However if they are in a different order you may need to adjust, currently they reside in the following files:

page-bbp_form.php

author.php

taxonomy-bbp_topic.php

single-bbp_topic.php

single-bbp_reply.php

single-bbp_forum.php

page-bbp_topics.php

page-bbp_front.php

and I think that is all that’s needed! (untested though)

I’ve just updated my WordPress blog from version 2.0 to 3.0.1 and subsequently upgraded BBPress from version 0.8.3 to the latest release (1.0.2?). However, now all the users of the forum are displaying as inactive on the front end despite the fact that they have a ‘member’ role when viewed through the admin panel.

I suspect this is related to the fact that the users are shared between WordPress and BBPress – in WordPress they have no role.

The problem is that there are 45000 subscribers so to change these manually will take quite some time. I think I’m also right in saying that users in WordPress with no role don’t have any meta values so I’m not sure this can be addressed by finding and replacing anything in the database.

Does anyone have any ideas? I really don’t want to have to assign these users roles by going through 30 at a time in the WordPress admin screens!

Thanks in advance for your help.

[timgedny]

I’ve just upgraded my site from using an ancient 2.0 release of WordPress to 3.0.1 and this seems to have caused havoc with the BBPress integration. By disabling plugins I seem to have reinstated the forums so they can be viewed but I can’t seem to login to the forums – I’m guessing for some reason they’re not seeing or sharing the WordPress 3.0.1 cookie.

Any suggestions? I’ve had though about updating to the latest release of BBPress but when I try and upgrade the database it seems to time out. We’ve got quite a bit of data in the DB. Some of the DB tables are huge so I guess this could be why.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for getting back to me, Ashfame

I had it working great under WAMP (can’t remember what plugins were active at the time though) so will remember this advice for future and continue to test at regular intervals.

All the best, Karl

What about https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/subscribe-to-topic/ plugin

I mean, on the 1.0.2 installation of bbPres I’m testing, looks like there is no such feature.

The https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/subscribe-to-topic/ plugin page says:

Requires bbPress Version: 0.9 or higher

Compatible up to: 0.9

An now what? 1.0.2 is higher than 0.9

Which plugin are you using on the bbpress.org forum to allow users to enable the Notify me of followup posts via e-mail?

( – this is the same story about https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/ive-installed-bbpress-v102-but-it-doesnt-look-like-this-site

– this is a big leak in the spreading-concept of the bbpress staff

– this plugin is NOT an option that may interest or not o_O while is a must instead

– Don’t you think?)

what about loading my picture in this box on the left?

This question is double , ’cause I mean

– how to upload and display my picture in my profile in this bbPress forum

and also

– how to upload and display it on the forum (bbPress made) I’ve installed on my test system.

thank you for any link and or explanation

[aja2010]

I currently have several sites running standalone bbpress.org with deep integration. How would I convert over when this new plugin is developed?

I would echo ricardouk views that It would make sense to just display the forum on a wordpress page to avoid the hassle of fiddling with different themes.

What is likely to be in the core? I would like to have plugins in the core or optionally built in and maintained as core plugins specifically these ones.

Adsense for BBPress

Ajaxed Quotes

Akismet

Allow Images

BBClitcha

BBCode Buttons

bbPM

BBVideo

Terms of Service

I would think all of them should be in the core except maybe Adsense for BBPress

I am not a computer guy but if you want a dummy tester I would fit the bill

Hi,

I’ve been very careful with a fresh install of bbPress and testing functionality at each step of integrating with WordPress. I have the problem narrowed down to this code snippet that goes into the bb-config.php file:

/* Deep integration */

if ( !defined('ABSPATH') && !defined('XMLRPC_REQUEST')){

define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);

include_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../wp-blog-header.php' );

header("HTTP/1.1 200 OK");

header("Status: 200 All rosy");

}

No feedback yet (it was Thanksgiving Day yesterday after all) but I hope this will help you, help me.

Best Regards, Karl

Noticed in the latest revision that the bbPress theme appears within the WP Themes section, but I don’t like the fact you have to activate the bbPress theme and then just inherit the Parent Theme would much rather that the theme files be within the actual WP theme like you do when using the Template Pack for BuddyPress.

Also I also strongly agree with the others about NOT having public profiles, there are plenty of plugins out there than can do this so no need for it, plus if you have buddypress running as well you will end up with duplicate profiles like you do with the current stand-alone bbPress system.

EDIT: Actually WP supports public profiles out of the box /author/yourname it’s just a case of the template file showing the additional information! But if you want to make them public editable then grab Theme My Login plugin.

[Rich Pedley]

gswaim, test it out and see if it does what you want – I’d be inclined to say yes.

http://wordpress.elfden.co.uk/forum/

I update every few days, so it is fairly upto date.

[Joris]

I am testing the plugin and really like the simplicity of it. This could be an ‘community’ alternative to Buddypress, because I found Buddypress too heavy for high traffic sites.But what I really like from Buddypress are the public profiles and front end account / admin options.

Are there any plans to make public profiles in this new plugin, instead of using the default WP admin area? Something like BBpress has right now for example..

[DeysonOrtiz]

@ Rich: All the other plug-ins show up fine.

@ CitizenKieth: I am using cyberduck for my uploads, I never had a problem like this before.

I have also tried to install bbpress on 3 other wordpress websites of mine and it does not show either, they are all on the same hosting company, and they all have the latest wordpress.

[carmellom]

Thanks Rich, I appreciate it. Hope to see that beta soon and of course I will join the testing. I’m planning on using bbpress live during the beta phase.

[Rich Pedley]

@Carmellon, erm you do know that is what this thread is about? JJJ has said he was hoping for a beta release by the end of the year (If I recall correctly).

But you can join in the testing by using the download link on this page:

https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/branches/plugin

[Rich Pedley]

Finally, not in the readme, copy the bbp-twentyten to your themes directory.

This is not necessary, and you should not do it. One of the latest changes specifically addressed the earlier issue that we were having, and if the theme does not work correctly from within the plugin please, please, let us know.

@Deyson, I assume other plugins show up correctly etc?

[DeysonOrtiz]

Hello, here is the update in order, I upgraded to the latest version of WordPress, re-added the plugin, switched to twenty-ten theme, deactivated all of my plugins and the bbpress plugin still does not show up.
