Error on forum pages

[Andrea Whitmer]

I just installed the plugin and I’m seeing the following error on all forum pages:

Warning: in_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, null given in /home/USER/public_html/DOMAIN.com/wp-content/themes/genesis/lib/functions/general.php on line 293

Looking at the file in question, this appears to be related to custom post types:

function genesis_has_post_type_archive_support( $post_type_name = '' ) {

	$post_type_name = genesis_get_global_post_type_name( $post_type_name );

	return in_array( $post_type_name, genesis_get_cpt_archive_types_names() ) &&
		post_type_supports( $post_type_name, 'genesis-cpt-archives-settings' );

}

Is this a Genesis 2.0 issue, or do I need to look for another cause? I saw another topic that mentioned some changes needed for HTML5 sites, so if that’s the case, I’ll be patient and wait for a plugin update.

Also, the Genesis author box and “Filed Under” are still showing on forum pages, so I’m wondering what I need to do about that.

I am experiencing the exact same problem. This is a Genesis 2.0 – bbpress error, as I have no other plugins installed.

I have something to add. The error/warning only shows when you are logged out of wordpress.

Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

[Andrea Whitmer]

Yes, that’s true in my case as well re: being logged out. I didn’t see it until I did a test registration and was logged in as a user instead of an admin.

[elpju]

I can’t find a solution to this anywhere even though anyone running bbpress on the genesis 2.0 framework must be having this problem.

I will ask around and see if anyone can come up with a quick fix..

I experienced this error when I used a “link type” menu item pointing to /forums/.

I do not have HTML5 activated, because bbPress Genesis Extend does not support it yet.

Workaround:
Insert this shortcode [bbp-forum-index] on a page and include the page in the menu.

[Andrea Whitmer]

Actually that’s how my page is configured – using the shortcode. And it’s not even listed on my menu. Yet I still see the error.

This is an issue with Genesis 2.0 (not this plugin) and is something I will need to try to fix with the plugin, among all the new hook updates for G2.

This plugin does NOT support Genesis 2 yet. Upgrading to Genesis 2 is not recommended if you use bbPress.

Support for Genesis 2 is planned and will be added in a future update.

[Jared Atchison]

Specifically, what child theme are you using?

I have tried 3 different XHTML child themes with Genesis 2.0.0 and have not encountered that error.

Are you trying to use HTML5 child themes?

[elpju]

I’m using the Focus theme.

The same warning displays 6 times above the header and 1 time below, which means that the whole forum is below the viewable area on the screen. I’m afraid this will hurt my rankings on google if this isn’t fixed soon..

[Andrea Whitmer]

I’m using the Jade child theme from Restored 316, which I believe has already been updated for HTML5. My situation isn’t urgent since the site is still in development, but when I started the thread I wasn’t sure if it was an HTML5 issue or not.

[Konceptuel]

I’m using the childtheme Dynamik Website Builder 1.2.2 from cobaltapps.com.

It is HTML5/CSS3 theme, but it can be disabeled, which it is in my case.

The error:

Warning: in_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, null given in /home/USER/public_html/DOMAIN.com/wp-content/themes/genesis/lib/functions/general.php on line 293

is an issue with Genesis core. A bug report has been filed and a patch is in the works, so I suspect that issue will be addressed in an update such as 2.0.1.

Adding support for HTML5 in this plugin should be done by the end of the month.

[elpju]

That sounds excellent!
Thank you for your help, it is much appreciated.

For those who want a fix now, and understand the implications of hacking Genesis core (seriously – do you understand?), then add:

$post_type_names = array();

on line 269 of genesis/lib/functions/general.php, right before the line with the foreach(), inside the genesis_get_cpt_archive_types_names() function.

[Andrea Whitmer]

Thank you, Gary. Now I can finally get this site launched – that worked beautifully!
