Hi Guys,

Sorry to jump in on this thread…

I really want to change the group default tab to forum..

can you explain where i place the code please in the functions.php file

Also is there anything else i need to do to get this to work??

I am only looking to have public groups so hopefully the above error won’t effect this..

Kind Regards

As the codex says, you may need to contact your web host to change it for you. I guarantee to you that the cause of the “Fatal error: Allowed memory size” is because PHP doesn’t have enough memory.

I had bbpress installed before and deactivated it when I installed buddypress. Then I deleted the bbpress files. I then re-downloaded the files again and now this is happening. Would there be anything in my database from it’s last installation to cause bbpress to not work now?

[johnjf]

didn’t work

Great news Nick!
You can see in my recent post, we fixed a similar solution for Canvas 5 from WooThemes.https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/non-functional-index-page-when-bbpress-2-1rc4-is-used-with-woothemes-canvas-5-05/
Your problem imho is that your theme is hijacking the content area in a way that prevents the new bbPress code from working. As such, the solution would be found most likely in your theme’s page.php or similar, where the default archive pages are created.
Cheers!
Spence.

The shortcodes were the ticket for me. Back up and running now! My theme would only pull an archived page (even thought is buddypress fitted). Also I could not create a page called “forums” when the forum slug was “forums” in bbpress settings. The page would be automatically slugged, “fourms-2”.

For not I am not going to delete the bb-config.php and see how it works. So far so good.

Thank you again Spence labsecrets. Wonderful job. You’re not so evil 😉

@me9, did this video help you?

[LabSecrets]

Hi NickZee,

glad it was helpful 😉

While I can’t say 100% whether you need to completely reinstall, I will suggest that if you previously had selected the BuddyPress option to allow forums (the first RED FLAG in the video ;-), it created a bb-config,php file that may be the root of some troubles. In the previous video I showed folks to delete that, but in this case, it may be sufficient now to simply toggle the option “off”, save, and then re-save permalinks.

If nothing else, it won’t hurt you to try deleting that old bb-config.php file as it is no longer going to be used by BuddyPress if you use the bbPress 2.2.2+ plugin instead.
In any event, I do not think you should or will have to manually drop any tables from the db… that’s just going to lead to some troubles given how seamless the new operation works (if you follow step by step by step).

I’m going to suggest in Trac (and here)  that the wording on that particular BuddyPress option be changed or even that the option be completely removed… as the way it is now written is not helpful. I admit that it even took me four or five tries before realizing that it was referring to the “old” BuddyPress forums, even though the wording says “bbPress”.

We’re using bbPress 2 here for the forums; the recent release of bbPress 2 integrates nicely into BuddyPress. Are you using the “group forums” built into BuddyPress (aka bbPress 1)?

I did a debug and getting this

@labsecrets at 3:50. Do I need to completely remove buddypress and reinstall without discussion forum OR can I just turn them off now and that be sufficient and equal to installing without? My original buddypress install was several weeks ago, and with that Discussion Forum was checked. If so, do I need to drop tables or options from the database to make buddypress forget it was ever installed on my site?

Thank you again Spence. Very concise video instruction. Just what I need.

Thank you very much 🙂

Anyone ?

I just want the elements in the image to appear in my group forums? There must be a way of doing it ? no ?

These are all bbPress templating questions; you’re best to ask on the http://bbpress.org support forums, as that’s where the bbPress experts are.

[Master]

sorry for my 3 replay but i can not edit post,

and just 1 question how to fix this http://slike.milf-hosting.info/images/1354793025.jpg

height on update?

[Master]

And how to create https://buddypress.org/login like this?

[modemlooper]

The forums here would be sitewide. The group forums in BP are inside each group. Choosing is based on your site. Is it more about groups or is the site one central topic?

[SydneyDesigner]

Thanks Paul.

Labsecrets has also seen the problem over on https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/buddypress-group-adminforum-check-box-not-working/#post-121225

I’ve created a bug ticket https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2083

[Paul Wong-Gibbs]

As you might be able to tell, this doubles the number of database queries for a particular forum view; we’ve ran into similar do-we-don’t-we decisions while adding things to bbPress 1 forums in BuddyPress in the past.

If you’re not already, I suggest migrating to bbPress 2, and I would recommend asking on the bbPress website to see if anyone knows how to start. I haven’t done it myself before, but I do know this is much easier to do in bbPress 2 than bbPress 1.

(bbPress 1 is the old version of bbPress that comes bundled with BuddyPress. We’re phasing it out).

[theFebvre]

Just to add :

I can post in the Forum section of my local site… so it’s just a problem with the activity feed… thanks

[Keith Kelly]

Here is a link to an example on my site:

The current setup is that Buddypress has the option for discussion forums unchecked, bbpress has the option for Buddypress group forums checked.

Any help would be appreciated.

oh how embarrassing! I forgot to change the database details in the bb-config.php after switching to another database, the name was to similar that I first didn’t realize… So, maybe this way I could be a help for others here. Do check your database details twice!

[chrisdarts]

Hi,

I was wondering if you managed to resolve this? I’m having the same issue at the moment and can’t seem to work out what’s happening.

Thanks.

[Fee]

I’ve the same problem. I’m still checking through my installation and plugins if it’s really caused by BuddyPress itself. When I know more I’ll write it down here.
