BuddyPress.org

OK !! I think I understood why this is happening.
Please correct me if my understanding is incorrect.

Because I have enabled bbpress. So Buddypress uses bbpress plugin to provide forums functionality as opposed to its own forum. Now since bbpress is a plugin so the follow goes to plugins.php rather than buddypress’s own forum.php

Correct ?

HI guys
Am back again 😀

I have fixed almost everything just few pages left
I want know which template file is used by forum , topic started, replies created, favorite topic, subscribed topic ?
I have fixed rest of all the pages by going into their respective template files and doing some addition in the code.
The only thing left is these pages coming under forums. Am not really sure if they are coming under BP or bbpress

Your help would be appreciated in telling me the template file used by these pages (forum , topic started, replies created, favorite topic, subscribed topic)

I found the solution myself. A look into the database for the activity items opened my eyes..

The opject type for bbpress topics and replies is bbpress. Maybe this will help someone else in future…

I did further tests.

If I try to disable bbpress only, I still don’t get it working; however I noticed that I can attempt to send private message replies – although it will throw an error after redirect and page reload.

If I try to disable all other plugins (including bbp) it still doesn’t work. Could it be my own theme? It’s hard to debug…Anyone ever ran across similar problems?

🙁

Hi, Thanks again @mercime, you are a life saver.. Looking at the thread, looks like this is a Buddypress issue and not bbpress. I see a lot of people are fixing the issue by replacing the ‘groups’ folder with the one in version 1.7.3. Is that something that you or Buddypress peeps recommend? Is that going to cause other problems down the road?

For one thing, I know the group folder will be overwritten again when a new update is available.

@mercime.. I am still getting the same error even after changing my URL and my subdomain. When I check my error_log file, I get this error:

[28-Jul-2013 22:51:11] PHP Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in /public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/group.php on line 461

I’ll post this question in BBpress forum as well. I thought maybe you’ve experienced the same issue before.

This is on bbpress 2.3.2 and buddypress 1.8 and I followed every step of instructions on this page to create a sitewide forum and forum for buddypress groups:
https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/

Thanks

I added [bbp-forum-index] to a /test/ page. That worked.

Given the instructions on (https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/), I did the following:

#3 -If you kept the default “forums” slug in Settings > Forums, you can create a new Page via Pages > Add New. Add Title “Forums” and insert the forums index shortcode and/or other bbPress shortcode you’ll find in the bbPress Codex then publish the new page.

But somethings broken.

Thanks,

Mike

@mercime lol ..I forgot to mention my theme didn’t have a page.php file!, ha! ..so when I dropped one in there, poof! there was my reg/act pages..Made my day! lol, and yes, my other pages seemed fine..just lucky grappling around if ya ask me, lol.

The theme is as basic as they come so I could build from the ground up, but your right!, if it would have been a purchased theme from RocketTheme [with most assuredly a page.php file] it would have blown my site to bits! lol!

As to forum assistance – I totally understand and deeply appreciate you all with all my heart, you wonderful people have brought open source to the table and I love you all! My entire site is WordPress/BuddyPress/bbPress and is only possible because of you all.

I apologize if my remark sounded offensive, I certainly didn’t mean for it to.

I am having other issues with BuddyPress but I’ll tackle those one Topic at a time now that I’m get’n familiar with the many Forums BuddyPress.org has.

Most people probably do have Themes with page.php files so I WAS fortunate in this case and it probably is an unusual case.

I’m more of an artist than a code junky but it has become necessary for me to familiarize myself with it to deal with a perpetual shoestring budget. I do hope to not be too much of a pest around here.

Again, thanks so much for being here. 🙂

Okay, at least I found out roughly whats happening: The buddypress legacy group forums (which I have since I started a community originally with buddypress 1.6x) is working fine in 1.8. However, newly created legacy group forums in 1.8 do give above error notice and the forums do not work at all.

Was this mentioned somewhere in the update notes? If not, it should be, because it created quite some trouble.

Even worse then is what I described above, that I can’t simply switch and convert to the new bbpress 2.3 group forums, since then all attachments are lost to normal user interface (and since we have several hundred documents attached, manually reassigning them somehow is not an option).

For now, I had to switch back to buddypress 1.7.3 where newly created groups have functioning forums and the attachments using U Forum Buddypress Attachments plugin are included.

I had a rough look at the sql database and can’t imagine an easy quick way to migrate attachments from U Forum Buddypress Attachments plugin to e.g. GD bppress attachments, which would work with bbpress 2.3 group forums.

Does anyone have a clue whether and how that would be possible in an automated way? Otherwise I can’t update buddypress without losing functionality of either creating new groups with working forums or losing all previous attachments in posts!

If anyone cares, the proper solution is just to copy loop-single-topic.php into your themes dir and edit till your hearts content. The only semi-tricky thing is that it must be in a /bbpress/ dir within your theme. For example:

wp-content/themes/yourtheme/bbpress/loop-single-topic.php

FirmaSite 1.1.15 Released!
http://theme.firmasite.com/firmasite-1-1-15-released/
Color switch option for site title and taxonomy colors!

Live Demo:

FirmaSite

I mean in the WP admin area and I see it in the dashboard

and about the pic I have asked a question yesterday about re sizing the pic size in the forum https://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-to-resize-memebrs-images-sizes/

idk what’s going on with me and why nothing is working

and about the weird characters also they are available almost in all the pages like the contact us for example it ends with #.Ue-C0PnI1FM I thought that it’s normal but I will check this out with the developer if he solve it

– Let’s test. Create a new Page named Discussions and place the forums shortcode there. Go to Settings > Forums and change archive slug to discussions. Then go to technowldgic.com/discussions/ and check out your forums

I tried this and after saving the setting the forum page became 404 error page and also I am seeing this error near the box where I wrote discussions “Possible bbPress conflict: Topics base” so I removed it and wrote forums and topics again in the archive slugs

Going back to logging in. I added the bbPress login widget to the sidebar of Twenty Twelve theme and it’s working fine even with BuddyPress activated. What are you using for your users to log in?

I don’t think I am using anything, I thought everything would come with the buddypress plugin like the log in area and everything else. what should I use?

and I am so sorry for asking too many questions and having too many problems but idk why I am so lost by installing the forum

and ty so much for ur help
