still the same verdict… gah
Take out the whitespace from the plugin PHP file(s), and try again?
so is there any way to stop a forum from reaching the latest discussion without any problems?
The Warning message is because forwards depend on sending headers. Different headers are sent automatically however if there’s any text returned by a PHP file that’s loaded, which is a common problem created by whitespace around the <?php ?> tags. If text headers are sent, you can’t send a redirect header, thus the warning and the breaking of redirects.
I have no idea, it is quite confusing to me seems it screws up any kind of forward (even those that have nothing to do with posting, plugin deactivate, edit/change appearance, logout, etc).
Might it have somthing to do with this part of the plugin:
{ $where.=” AND forum_id != “.$forum.” “; }}
return $where;
because it does not seem to be working, does this need to be changed to something else in order to function in 1.0.2?
You can see for yourself what happens by registering:

Starting to bug me a bit, nothing I try solves the issue.
Nevermind… I figured that part out. 
@HSeatSleeper: Can you talk a little bit more about the special care you gave to the admin account? When testing, I got locked out of my blog as well, and couldn’t figure out why (my wp_1_capabilities were set correctly, as was user_level).
Can you easily list the steps you took to secure the admin account? Thanks! 
What is the plugin supposed to do with regard to those things? I thought the plugin just excluded replies from certain forums from the list of latest discussions. I didn’t know it was related to redirection or forwarding.
Alright I have my site at pickledpc.com and the forums at pickledpc.com/forums/
I’m trying to apply my wordpress theme to the forums to make it all look the same. I haven’t the slightest idea of where to start. I have tinkered with the style.css but can’t get anywhere. Any pointers? A good place to start?
Thanks
I am interested to display my forum categories at the top of my forums rather than the latest discussions. Is this possible?
Even with all those things changed the plugin does no redirect or allow you to logout so I guess something is messing up with the forwarding?
If you have full access to the server, it’s good practice to log PHP errors and warnings rather than display them to the browser. That’s done in php.ini.
Are you using permalinks? Did you already have an .htaccess and add the error handling lines to it?
Okay I added Htaccess and now the error does not appear however when i post it does not forward me back to the forum is just gets stuck on a white screen on the bb-post.php screen….
Got full access to the server. What is the best means of doing this but only affecting only this site? The plugin makes an error for any change not just posts (ie any kind of update) gives a similar warning.
Here’s one way:

I’m assuming you’re on shared hosting. If you have more control over the server, there are better ways to do it than with an override in .htaccess.
I have the same problem in one browser, no problem in another browser (I had the warnings showing in Firefox but not in IE.) If it’s just a warning and it works, maybe you just need to not display warnings to visitors?
Yes it states:
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /public_html/voices/my-plugins/exclude-forum.php:13) in /public_html/voices/bb-includes/functions.bb-pluggable.php on line 232
That is with or without any other plugin installed.
Does the error message you are seeing say “Warning:” at the beginning of it?
You have a space or a line return around your code tags.
The plugin works except whenever you post you get that “headers already sent by (output started at /home/whey/public_html/voices/my-plugins/exclude-forum.php:13) in /public_html/voices/bb-includes/functions.bb-pluggable.php on line 232” error. It still posts but it would be in the way seems in affects every post (thread and reply). Trying to figure away around it but I am not the best at PHP
Actually, trying in another browser, I am able to exclude some forums by adding them to the array there.
Do you have other plugins installed that might be in conflict?
(Guess I should turn off PHP warnings, eh?)
I couldn’t even activate that; I got an error on bb-includes/functions.bb-meta.php line 708 and 709.
That’s not related to your problem though. Sorry I can’t try this out for you.
I’m running 1.0.1.
Update: Just upgraded to 1.0.2 and tried again. Same errors. Those are just about cookies though. Not sure what’s going on there.
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: exclude
*/
function filter_front_page_topics($where){
$exclude_forums=array (“13″,”19”); // enable this to manually specify specific forums by id #
// $forums = get_forums(); foreach ($forums as $forum) {if ($forum->forum_parent) {$exclude_forums[]=$forum->forum_id;}} // exclude ALL sub-forums
if ( is_front() ) {foreach($exclude_forums as $forum) { $where.=” AND forum_id != “.$forum.” “; }}
return $where;
}
add_filter( ‘get_latest_topics_where’, ‘filter_front_page_topics’);
add_filter( ‘get_latest_posts_where’, ‘filter_front_page_topics’);
?>
In CSS I use /*………*/ for a few lines of code or ……..// for just a line so that code is skipped or avoided. Will this work in a .php file also? I would like to skip code to test it out without deleting the original code. Just want to mask the original code so I can go back to it if I make a mistake.
Thank you.
