Looks like PHP5.
Here’s something weird. This line?
/home1/openboo2/public_html/blogging/forum/bb-includes/functions.bb-pluggable.php
That’s pointing to an old bbpress install that isn’t connected to this install at all. It’s an old defunct site and the wordpress it was connected to is uninstalled. (Dumped the database, deleted the wordpress files.) Any idea how this install got it into its head to point something there? I’m going to go ahead and delete the white space but I have the bbpress for these forums in public_html/forums.
Thanks for the help! 
Arturo-
I’m literally about to leave for an evening out. So, if I can’t help you, perhaps someone else will pitch hit for me.
but the buddybar doesn’t show
So, it was showing before upgrading to the latest trunk? Did you make changes to any CSS files that got deleted when upgrading?
no Jeff, i’ve a demo installation so i’ve deleted the bb_ table in db and re-installed bbpress , re-modified the kakumei theme with my own css, images etc… but the buddybar doesn’t show
i’m becoming crazy… 
with the latest trunk i’ve solved this problem but now i don’t see the buddybar…
Trunk can be your friend!
Did you make any changes in your theme file between using version 1.0 and upgrading to the latest trunk?
Moominmama-
Thanks for the detailed issue report. It is nice to see someone actually following the procedure!
As I’ve seen one of your posts in another thread, I realize that you are aware of various issues that some people have installing WPMU on BlueHost. It seems that you’ve navigated far along the path and may be close to success. So, I’ll see if I can provide you with another step or two toward the finish line.
PHP Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home1/openboo2/public_html/blogging/forum/bb-includes/backpress/class.bpdb.php:123) in /home1/openboo2/public_html/blogging/forum/bb-includes/functions.bb-pluggable.php on line 214
The “Cannot modify header” error almost always indicates that there is some whitespace before the opening php or closing php tag. It could be in one or both places. Open up class.bpdb.php and look for the whitespace. It should be removed and the file saved.
PHP Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #2 is not an array in /home1/openboo2/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bp-forums-bbpress-live.php on line 425
Are you running PHP4 or PHP5?
with the latest trunk i’ve solved this problem but now i don’t see the buddybar…
i’ve the code in bb-config, i’ve wp_head() in header before /head and wp_footer() in footer before close body and naturally i’ve used bp_search_bar() and bp_login_bar()
i don’t know why the buddybar … please help me… thanks!
Wow…You are right Moominmama! Installing WordPress MU wasn’t bad at all. II just finished installing it with BuddyPress and I think I just got BBPress working. BBPress was a lot more involved and the only part that isn’t completely working has to do with being automatically logged into the forum if you log into your BuddyPress account.
Oh well, this is good enough for now.
Thanks!
We do not have anymore details than you have read. Perhaps Andy will shed some light after he has recuperated from WordCamp SF.
In addition to that news, there was mention that WP.com will offer BuddyPress as well. So, as far as what this means for BuddyPress, your guess is as good as mine. Will BuddyPress be included as a simple “switch” to turn on? How about bbPress?
When will all this happen? The writer of that post speculates around WPv2.9. Who knows. Since this is such a major shift, to me it seems more like a version 3.0 event. But, this is also pure speculation.
I’m also on BlueHost and installing manually is as easy as installing with simplescripts. That said, I needed to install and reinstall fifty-million (ok, maybe eight) times to get things working right with forum integration, etc. What worked was breaking it down slowly slowly slowly. First WPMU, then buddypress and finally using these instructions for integrating bbpress:
http://theeasybutton.com/blog/2009/04/30/integrating-buddypress-10-wpmu-and-bbpress/
The reason I had to reinstall so many times is I had trouble with the domains/subdirectories and finally had to change it out manually:
http://welcome.totheinter.net/2009/05/06/changing-wordpress-mu-from-subdomains-to-subdirectories/
It’s still buggy — I had some problems when I had to change out domains to get my site showing up in the right place — but I have hope it’s at least mostly working.

Jeff, i’m the keymaster rights, and if i delete the require_once( ‘/path/to/wp-blog-header.php’ ); i can access to bb-admin but if i’ve it no…
i’ve called the buddybar and search/login bar in bbpress theme and i login in login bar because i’ve the integration with WP and i’m sure i’ve the keymaster rights and in theory if i go to site.com/forums/bb-admin i can see the administration backend
any idea? thanks!
Arturo, we aim to please and sometimes we actually succeed!
when i try to access bb-admin i’m redirected to forum home and not in admin panel
I’m not the best bbPress guy to help you here, but here’s my first thought: you did not log in as keymaster. When you log in on the front page as keymaster, you should see an admin link next to your name. If you don’t have that after you’re logged in, you might not be set as keymaster.
Thank you so much Jeff you rock!
but now i’m another problem if in bb-config i’ve the code to call the wp-blog-header.php when i try to access bb-admin i’m redirected to forum home and not in admin panel… any idea about this?
thanks for your help.
Arturo-
This thread should help you with the buddybar issue: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2572#post-14039
thanks for the reply Burt, i know this, i want to know what i do to have the buddybar, login/search bar in bbPress.
I know that I must create 3 themes (wp, bp and bb), but creating a theme for bbpress the buddybar etc not show and I wanted to know how do this.
thanks
Well, there is no step-by-step guide to do this. You are talking about three completely different environments and three separate themes. To get bbpress using a theme that looks similar to the other two themes, you need to create a new bbpress theme. You can’t just drop one of the other themes into bbpress, tweak a few things and magically have it work.
the RC-1 version of bbPress is supported? i’m some problem with this version and now i try the alpha-6.
thanks for the reply!
go in BuddyPress -> Component Setup -> bbpress forum and check “disable”.
a freakin’ sidebar with it’s own loop inside of the two others. I’m most likely outside of the loop as always, but I don’t want to specify a forum Id , I want all of the forums with the – bp_get_forum_permalink().. same as the ole.. bbpress_live_get_forums() and bbpress_live_get_topics().. I probably sound like a skipping record to you…thks.
Where are you putting this loop code? You either have to specify a forum_id or be inside group forums for bp_has_topics() to return anything.
bp_has_topics(‘forum_id=xx’); Look at the code for bp_has_topics()..
the latest version of bbPress is required so (RC-1).
if you have MU+BP up and running see this doc https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/trunk/bp-forums/installation-readme.txt is the instruction to install and integrate bbPress in MU and BP.
no.. you don’t want to paste it into a text widget..
You would use it as a custom loop in your theme.
But, that code does Not work (for me right now)
<?php if ( bp_has_topics() ) : ?> is always giving null…
and I’ve tried three or four incarnations of a custom loop based on the buddypress/forums/bp-forums-templatetags.php I had previously used sam’s bbpress live plugin successfully (same code)? I will return to this issue on monday unless some brilliant mind steps up to the plate over the weekend.
im completely confused here, bbpress is a separate thing we need to add/install to buddypress?
sorry im new to all this and have successfully installed wordpressmu and buddypress, but i thought the bbpress already was included in the buddypress download since it gave me options to enable it….please help? thanks
How do you use the code above? Paste it in a text widget?
Looks like that should work.
midget wissing .. line 34 of ..bbpress-live.php wp_register_sidebar_widget() ?
that should cut it there. has_topics() is still giving me nothing.. but I just realized I’ve had xmlrpc.php out of my header for the last hour. when it’s like this it always turns up to be something so very simple I’m overlooking.
<?php if ( bp_has_topics() ) : ?>
<?php while ( bp_has_topics() ) : bp_the_topics(); ?>
<li>
<?php the_topics() ?>
</li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php else: ?>
<p>No Topics Found.</p>
<?php endif; ?>
