I’m adding to this – I’m having the same issue. I can see the “discussion” option to replace the comments with a topic or forum, but no matter what I check in the checkboxes, it’s all reset when I save, and nothing is added to the forums.
This is using WordPress 3.5.1, with the Twenty Twelve theme, and no other plugins activated (save bbPress).
Ah… I got the reason why – I’m using a custom post type. it’s not recognizing it because on line 191, it sets the post types this works for (which is “post” and “page). I added mine and (after a few errors) i got it to work. now I need to figure out how to make it work 100% – that was just a test.
Okay, got it. The answer was already here in the support.
In your functions.php file, just add:
add_filter( 'bbppt_eligible_post_types', create_function( '$post_types', 'return array("post", "page");' ) );
just add your post type to the array.
And make sure you have WP_DEBUG set to “false” in your wp-config.php file, or else you’ll get “headers already sent” errors.
@doodlebee thanks for your answers… will try it shortly… cheers
@doodlebee… I have tested the above instructions but its still failing…
Added the filter to functions.php and wp_debug was already set to false.
I had edited the single.php file so I uploaded the original one back to the site…
I guess post type would be post anyway…
so I have no idea what could be wrong…
still can’t save the setup for topics for post plugin…
