Byron, you made it. I thought about this. Is your new user a ‘member’ in bbpress? Also do you have this line:
$bb->bb_xmlrpc_allow_user_switching = true;
in bb-config.php?
hi, I am having a similar issue. When I try to post a topic, as admin or otherwise, I get the same error – “There was an error posting that topic.”
It posts to the forum though, I can see it there, but it just does not show up on the buddypress front-end. I do have that line ($bb->bb_xmlrpc_allow_user_switching = true;) in bb-config.php
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. thanks.
2 things you can try here. 1. Disable discussion & then enable it again. 2. Try creating a new group & see if you still have the same problem.
Hi, I had the same thing. I had it working on 1 site but not on another. Turns out I forgot to enable the buddypress plugin in the BBPress admin area.
hth.
Hi, “Turns out I forgot to enable the buddypress plugin in the BBPress admin area.”
What is this? Where can I do this? Is there a BBpress plugin that I have to install? Pls provide URLs.
I get the “There was an error posting that topic.” and wonder if this may be the reason (if I missed activating something in BBpress).
Larsg, the buddypress plugin can be found in
wp-content>>plugins>>buddypress>>bp-forums>>bbpress-plugins
It needs to be moved but the location depends on your version of bbpress. Assuming you renamed bbpress to forums, you have 2 options:
forums>>my-plugins>>buddypress-enable.php
forums>>bb-plugins>>buddypress-enable.php
If 1 location doesn’t work & you try it in a 2nd location, remember to MOVE it. Having it in more than 1 location can make the wrong file be activated. Also, if you move it, you will have to reactivate it.
Hi, thanks. Tried this, Still same problem. I activated plugin (tried both locations).
The thread https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=3444 imply that no buddypress support plugin is required.
All this a bit confusing. Isn’t there a full install/integration tutorial available for ver 1?
Sorry about that – You didn’t mention what version of bbPress you were using and I assumed that since you were in an old post, you were using the old version. I’m working on a tutorial (or will be the second I get this sucker to work) My suggestion at this moment would be to follow my tutorial for installing the alpha 6 version. And then upgrade it using r-a-y’s instructions at this post. I know it’s not the greatest answer but for now, it’s all I can personally offer. Hopefully someone will have a tutorial up shortly. LOL
