tried reinstalling it on the buddypress side: bb-config is in place and correct, but this time the topic and the post didn’t get posted. When I integrated it with an existing bbpress installation: I could read and post topics from buddypress: the problem was that while I could post topics, the post didn’t go through and it said that I had 0 posts in the topic.
I changed line 1589 (or somewhere around there) in wp-db.php from `return preg_replace( ‘/[^0-9.].*/’, ”, mysql_get_server_info( $this->dbh ));` to `return preg_replace( ‘/[^0-9.].*/’, ”, mysql_query(“select version() as $this->dbh”) );`, and that error stopped. Try doing that
I tried installing bbpress separately and linking that to buddypress. This time, the topics I post show up, but If I post them through buddypress, it says that there are zero posts in the topic (it doesn’t matter if I view them through buddypress or bbpress, it still says the same thing). what’s wrong?
I had followed up on a idea from searching the web, and that was I should “Go to: phpmyadmin > yourdatabase > wp_bp_groups_groupmeta and Find the group you’re attempting to post to and then delete the forum_id value.”
The post is 8 months old, but I tried that, and the table and the forum id doesn’t exist. However, I looked around the database, and there was no reference between groups and forums on the database. What I mean is that in the tables that groups use and the tables that forums use, there is no reference to what group the forum or topic is in, and the group has no forum assigned to it. That’s the problem. There is no conection between groups and forums in the database.
I tried deleting all of the tables that belong to buddypress and reinstaling buddypress, but the problem is the same. So what should I do? Is there some sort of super reinstal that I need to do? Or should I add a forum_id field to the group table? Please help me out here, I will be trying things and trying to get it work. I will post any results in this topic.
I don’t think the problem is any of the plugins, but buddypress itself. I would file a bug, but I have no idea what is causing it. People, please give us a little bit of help here. This problem is driving us mad, and I have been searching on the forums and finding nothing.
