Definitely some issue with bbpress installed

    Hi,
    I think a while back, I reported some issue involving the bbpress plugin, somehow & strangely not being able to be set to the default “site.com/testsite/forums” page, whatever I did on a test site, whereas, strangely on all other 3, 4 sites with the exact settings everything worked normally.
    The bbpress folks, as well as you, because I thought recipepress reloaded might be playing a part could not find any solution. I gave up on this for a while, thinking may be it had something to do with the .htaccess of the script in “site.com/” or some aspect of it.

    After bbpress is reactivated, recipe links remain working BUT the old problem of /forums not being access back. The link appears OK, but the content of the blog front gets loaded.

    Since I have to move “testsite” to the root folder in the near future, I thought it is high time I tested this as well as see if a trial move could enable the /forums to function.

    After shifting, the whole WP site to site.com/, it first did not work. so I disabled ALL plugins & uninstalled & re-installed bbpress. site.com/forums worked. I re-enabled recipess reloaded, so only 2 plugins where enabled. In spite of flushing the permalinks & so on, I discovered that consistently, the 2 could not work together, so you have site.com/forums & site.com/recipe.

    I tried on a different unconnected site. Same thing.

    Then I moved back site.com/ to site.com/testsite. There, at first because of the previous re-installation of bbpress, I could amazingly get the forum at site.com/testsite/forums, BUT sadly, site.com/testsite/recipe, which had consistently worked before the test & move => page not found. As soon as I disabled bbpress, the all recipe links worked again.

    I do request you to have a look at bbpress & the recipe plugin.
    No flushing of permalinks, etc helped.

    So only one of the 2 works, even when only the 2 plugins are activated.

    I hope the novel above help to identify the source of the problem. ??

    Kind regards

    Hi

    Just an update
    I described the recent findings in bbpress forum & asked if they could help find a way out, or if there was a way I could configure the forum in such a way, that the conflict is avoided.

    This is what the moderator said:

    I’ve just tried having both these plugins on my test site, and can see exactly what you mean, my forums become archive posts just as yours did, and I’m using a shortcode so that way won’t work.

    So definite conflict between how these two forums are using slugs, and I suspect that the recipe one is overwriting a forum one, but don’t know how, possibly via a filter on wordpress.

    I’d suggest since the recipe plugin author will have far better knowledge (as he has slug settings in his plugin) that you go back with a fresh post, and explain that on a base theme (mine was twentyten) with just bbpress and his plugin and nothing else

    https://www.mysite.com/forums takes you to blog archives page

    and see what he comes back with

    He apparently confirms my observation, though I think his mentioning the possible source of the conflict could be useful in locating & solving it.

    Just installed bbpress and found the following:

    – recipes are accessible as you described
    – /forums shows the forums created. I did not further check wether posting etc works.

    I kindly ask you to wait for release 0.7.3 and recheck.

    Hi

    I certainly will wait, since I very much need both plugins.
    If /forums with the recipe plugin installed & accessible at /recipes shows at least an empty forum (if u did not create any) & does not load the blog archive content at that url instead, then there’s certainly been a big move towards the solution.

    Many thanks & kind regards

    Hi

    So I installed the update & there are some changes as said in a separate post, including the addition of the “add media” buttons, e.g. which make it more flexible.
    Regarding the bbpress forum issue, a change I can see is the newly created forums if you go to the homepage are not loaded as new blog posts.

    For the main problem, though, it is still there.
    If you go to /forums, you have the the blog posts archive shown, which includes newly created forums listed as “posts”, in addition to other “normal” posts. Screenshot => here.

    If I disable the recipepress reloaded module, you get for exactly the same url => this. A separate site having the bbpress module, shows this to be the normal output for /forums (default/recommended set up), => here.

    There is no problem if go to the url of a specific forum. The problem is the main forum page /forums.

    Probably something more to tweak?

    Thank you & kind regards

    OK, bug confirmed and (hopefully) found and resolved.

    Could you please edit the file php/rpr_core.php in the recipepress-reloaded plugin folder and change line 317 from
    if( !is_page() && ! is_attachment() ){
    to
    if( is_home() || is_category() || is_tag() ){

    This should be it. However this might introduce other problems I couldn’t find so far.

    Hi
    Great!
    I made that change, but I think that file is located in /php/class/ & it definitely changes the state things. ??
    I will try to look around and see if it affects anything on the site (in which case, I will update you) but do hope I can now plan to go online with the site soon.

    Once again many, many thanks.

    I thought I might just mention this:

    I informed the bbpress support person, who has been helping find a solution from that side about the above change & mentioned that code. His response:

    … sort of see what he has changed (essentially the code was executing for a page which bbpress is and he’s essentially limited it to categories). Chances are that it won’t affect anything else.

    … which I think is reassuring because they think the code is unlikely to

    introduce other problems

    …

    I just thought it could break some functionality inside RecipePress reloaded. As it obiviously doesn’t I’ve just release this fix in version 0.7.4.
