In reply to: Forum Statistics Plugin
I currently have many bbPress plugins, and they can add wide range of features that other forum software (like phpBB or similar forums) already have. Check out my other plugins for more information.
In reply to: Forum Statistics Plugin@delta5 How the stats block looks like is visible to logged in users on my forums, but that can be controlled via settings, here is the demo forum with the feature enabled for the visitors: https://xscape.info/quantum-default/forums/. If you want to test the plugin on our demo website (full admin test), you can request demo here: https://www.dev4press.com/request-demo/.
In reply to: Forum Statistics PluginHi,
My GD bbPress Toolbox Pro has that, it is configurable (position, elements included…). You can see it on the official support forum here: https://support.dev4press.com/forums/.

MilanIn reply to: Problem with the Forum Statistics widgetSome of my plugins really heavily on different caching methods to make sure that things are optimized and fast. And, many things in bbPress are not very optimized due to the nature of data storage used by WordPress, so whenever I can use the cache, I do it.
As for the statistics function, I am not sure exactly what it returns, I use my function which is quite different, but from what I remember, it returns an array with pairs including labels and values.

In reply to: Problem with the Forum Statistics widgetThat function has a filter at the very end ‘bbp_get_statistics’ where all the data gets filtered, so you can hook that filter, and modify what you need.
For my plugin, I have written a new function, because I needed more data, and I implemented short term cache to avoid expensive calculation each time it needs to be displayed.
In reply to: Problem with the Forum Statistics widgetYeah, ‘members’ sounds much better, I never liked the ‘users’ that is the norm in WordPress. I have created a plugin GD Members Directory that adds a new page listing all forum members with options to filter and order the list of members, and it would be good to have the change from users to members done in bbPress core too.
In reply to: Problem with the Forum Statistics widgetMy GD bbPress Toolbox Pro has a more advanced statistics widget, but I have checked there, and I did the same thing, so only public forums are counted. And, some in case of hidden forums, they are visible to keymasters only. Your idea about logged and not logged-in users is great, and I will update my plugin to reflect that better for the release next week, and I will expand list of statistical information to include different variations of this count.
In reply to: Problem with the Forum Statistics widgetYeah, that is correct, the widget uses WordPress function that counts only published forums (in this case, that is only public visibility), the rest is not counted for this widget statistics.
In reply to: Problem with the Forum Statistics widgetUsually for forums, ‘posts’ count includes both topics and replies, and in this case, that is true (163+393 = 556). As for the forums, do you have more than 2 forums created? This is an official bbPress widget, so the count should be correct.
In reply to: bbPress 2.0: designed for scale?If you need a forum to look a certain way, that can be done with WordPress and bbPress. bbPress look and feel can be fully customized.
In reply to: Why is index sooooo slowBy default, bbPress doesn’t make any AJAX calls with the exception of subscribe/favorite actions. You should determine what is making the calls (there should be ‘action’ argument sent with each AJAX request).
In reply to: Why is index sooooo slowThere has to be something. It is very unlikely that high load is caused by PHP code only, my guess is that MySQL queries are causing high load. That too is strange, because it should not be happening normally, but at least, it can point to some configuration issue with MySQL server.
In reply to: Why is index sooooo slowIt is way faster if not “logged in” site don’t use cache plugin so that’s not issue either but is much slower if logged in to site vs not logged in
You need to determine what is causing so slow load times. Use the Debug Monitor or similar plugin to find out which SQL queries are slow.
In reply to: Why is index sooooo slowIs it on NGINX or APACHE web server? NGINX is very fast compared to the Apache.
That is not true, it all comes how the server is configured and in many instances, Nginx is used along with Apache in a reverse proxy configuration. Nginx and Apache have different strengths, but they can work together for a greater benefit.
In reply to: URL/Permalinks on topicsThere are a lot of forums using it (it is my most popular plugin), but seeing features in action depend on the feature used, and if they are allowed for visitors without an account. My website official support forum uses more than 60% of plugin features. The best way to test is via demo website I can set up, just send me a demo request and I will set it up: https://www.dev4press.com/request-demo/.
In reply to: URL/Permalinks on topicsHi,
My GD bbPress Toolbox Pro, has Rewriter feature to enable forum based permalinks for topics and replies (including proper edit pages links).

MilanIn reply to: New free plugin: GD Forum Manager for bbPressThanks! Let me know if you think of any new activities that might be useful for this type of editing, for forums or topics.
In reply to: How can I get the category to display in topicTopics don’t have categories. Forums are quite different from the rest of WordPress, so topics belong to forums, and topics can have topic-tags, but they can’t have categories.
In reply to: Code highlighter that works from front end of forum?My GD bbPress Toolbox Pro plugin implements a shortcode for syntax highlighting in the forum topics and replies: https://support.dev4press.com/kb/article/bbcodes-source-code-scode/.

In reply to: BBCode Plugins for BBPress ?Plugin lists all supported BBCodes and variants. What exactly is not working, can you post some examples?
In reply to: Mod Notifications Reveal all Email AddressMy GD bbPress Toolbox Pro sends mod/admin notifications using the same format as bbPress, with BCC’s.
Also, I can recommend my GD Mail Queue Free or Pro that can take emails with multiple TO/CC/BCC fields, and created and send individual emails using the background queue.

In reply to: BBCode Plugins for BBPress ?My GD bbPress Tools implements BBCodes: https://wordpress.org/plugins/gd-bbpress-tools/ and many other things.
And I have GD bbPress Toolbox Pro plugin that adds even more BBCodes, it is linked from the free plugin page, so check it out also.
Hi,
My GD bbPress Attachments plugin gets file uploaded through media library, and MIME Types check is done in WP core. So, MIME control code should work. But, many security plugins also limit MIME types, so it might be related to that.
But, my GD bbPress Toolbox Pro https://plugins.dev4press.com/gd-bbpress-toolbox/ has MIME Types control alowing you to add new types and limit upload to select types.
Problem is that WordPress checks actual MIME Type for files, so if the extension is not registered with the file’s real MIME Type, it will fail. If you have archive that you connect to text file MIME, it will fail, because WP uses PHP function to read file MIME if possible.

In reply to: GD Attachments CountI have replied in the original topic.
In reply to: Clarification about searching mechanicsHi,
I posted update in the plugin original thread, I hope to have update available later this week.
