bbPress Compatibility

@melliesou

RE: I don’t have an up-to-date list of unexpected behaviors when using the two plug-ins together.

Can you please give me an idea of what to expect, even if it may not be current? I’m having a hard time imagining what the possible conflicts could possibly be. bbPress is a rather basic plugin. The only real “complex” thing it does is link the different CTP/s together to form the Forum->Topic->Reply association. Now, I can understand BuddyPress and JetPack compatibility issues, those plugins seems to affect every nook and cranny in WP.

RE:However, in this case, it might make sense to run both in parallel on different WordPress instances.

Sorry, not going to work in this case.

The primary reasons for me wanting to using AS is the EDD and EDD Software Licensing integration. Being able to using my own FAQ CTP, is icing. So, this needs to ruin in the same instance of WP.

Thanks for getting back to me!!! I was getting a little worried I would not get a reply. This is actually serious pre sales question, just clarifying.

I was a little impatient and installed AS (free) and was able to configure and do a test test (as an admin, didn’t test a user yet) and everything seemed fine with both AS and bbPress. Since it does not sound as if there were severe compatibility issues, which may not actually even exist anymore, I think I will press forward with my migration to AS, leaving bbPress active and on the same WP install. Any compatibility issues that I do find, if any, I’ll log in this thread.

I thank you for your time!

So far the only compatibility issue I have run into with bbPress is not really the fault of bbPress or AS really…

On the bbPress edit profile page, the AS wpas_user_profile_fields() is output because bbPress uses the core WP user profile so the actions added by AS to add the AS fields to the user profile is run.

To prevent this, here is a simple filter:

function AS_Remove_Data_Export_From_bbPress_Edit_Profile() {
	
	if ( function_exists( 'bbp_is_user_home_edit' ) ) {
		
		if ( bbp_is_user_home_edit() && class_exists( 'WPAS_GDPR_User_Profile' ) ) {
			
			$instance = WPAS_GDPR_User_Profile::get_instance();
			remove_action( 'show_user_profile', array( $instance, 'wpas_user_profile_fields' ), 10 );
			remove_action( 'edit_user_profile', array( $instance, 'wpas_user_profile_fields' ), 10 );
		}
	}
}

add_action( 'wp', 'AS_Remove_Data_Export_From_bbPress_Edit_Profile' );
