Compatibility between bbpress and WPML

[Helena Petridou]

We have received a request in our support forum to check on the compatibility of bbpress with WPML which you may find here:

​https://wpml.org/forums/topic/bbforum-dont-work-if-i-disable-wpml-then-it-works/

Description by the assigned supporter:

When activating bbPress (Version 2.5.4) and WPML (3.1.8.6) the bbPress menus don't show up in back-end and I have a warning message:

Notice: bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly. The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init(). Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 2.3.) in /home/mpodjetje/domains/idignitas.si/public_html/life/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3547
 
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/mpodjetje/domains/idignitas.si/public_html/life/wp-includes/functions.php:3547) in /home/mpodjetje/domains/idignitas.si/public_html/life/wp-includes/option.php on line 748

We would like to work together in solving this problem so that bbpress works well with WPML

Could you drop me a line back?

Helena,

Thanks, we'd love to see improved compatibility between bbPress and WPML

Specifically this post is what you've quoted above:
​http://wpml.org/forums/topic/bbforum-dont-work-if-i-disable-wpml-then-it-works/page/2/#post-568095

WPML is a commercial plugin and the bbPress WPML plugin is also private and I/we do not have a copy of either of these to test with.

We would also need more information than what you have cut and paste from your forum in your request, any chance you could send a link to this ticket to one of your developers please?

Remember also that even though this debug notice is coming from inside of bbPress, it's only happening because some other plugin is "initializing the current user without using $wp->init." Which is to say that, some other plugin is breaking WordPress & bbPress, and bbPress is kindly letting you know.

We are happy to help any developer (paid or otherwise) debug and fix any code that's causing this notice to occur, mostly as a public service so that code does not cause breakage anywhere else. See also ​#WP23016.

Marking this as wontfix, since this ticket was created the _doing_it_wrong() notice from bbp_setup_current_user() has been removed, see #2309 and r6105.

If there are further incompatibilities between WPML and bbPress please create a new ticket and include a way for us to obtain a copy of WPML so that we can use it to test with.
