    it would be good to post the solution to help others seeing this thread later 🙂

    put this in your theme’s custom css area

    .bbp-author-ip {
    display : none !important ;
    }

    @robin-w

    that measures site loading, not server performance as such, eg it doesn’t test dadatabase writes.

    cache will not affect non cache actions such as post submission

    I’d suggest you talk to your host providers.

    empty the setting and the check should not happen

    not really bbpress related – This is server/theme/other plugins issue.

    My test site which is full of stuff takes 1-2 seconds for a post, it is on a shared server, so depends on what else is happening on that server with other websites.

    I would ask that why your forum is so dependant on the need for lightening speed of posting, is the content really that boring ? Few users worry about posting speed, as longs as the site displays posted stuff in good speed:-)

    ok, sorry nothing else I can suggest

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    the link all looks good

    couple of other suggestions

    1. This could be an issue with your rewrite rules. To fix this try resetting your permalinks. In your WordPress Administration Screens navigate to Settings->Permalinks, select a different permalink structure and save. Then select your preferred permalink structure and save again.

    2. A reinstall of bbpress. You won’t lose any data if you decactivate and then delete the plugin.

    bbp_has_forumms is just a forum version of wordpress has_posts.

    The code you first posted – where is it, in your functions, in a plugin or where?

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    It could be a theme or plugin issue

    Themes

    As a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

    Plugins

    If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

    Then come back

    ok, given that I probably amswered your original Q too literally let’s re-phrase that –

    bbpress requires you to have an account on your website that is hooked to the wordpress software running on your website – which is what my original answer was. The username, password and all other details are only held only on your website. Nothing is passed to any other site (unless you add code to do so).

    You are not required to have a wordpress.org username to use bbpress

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    Yes they have wordpress accounts – that is how it works. but you do not need to see a wordpress page

    you would use something like theme my login to hide that

    I think it’s 2.5 but not totally sure, it’s certainly been that big for a few years, and has always worked fine as long as I have been involved.

    1. I’m just a user who helps out on the forums, you’ll need to judge for yourself if this will work capacity wise, but bbpress supports the wordpress forums which are huge.

    2. you have to enable nothing – I can only suggest that you set up a wordpress site with just forums, and you’ll soon realise that your iste doens;t neeed to look wordpressy and that users can just register on that site fro the forums using the forum registration (which is just a front end for WordPress site registration. You don’t need to use any other plugins to get bbpress working.

    3. Many people have a ‘just forum’ site, it is more common to have a forum as part of a site, but by no means necessary.

    ‘users register directly on the site without need to have an underlying account somewhere else’

    If you install bbpress on a wordpress site, then anyone who registers with that site will be a bbpress user. They can then use the forum. They don’t need to be registered ‘somewhere else’ – just on your site.

    You can also allow anonymous posting (but it does tend to get you spammed a lot!)

    bbpress just uses wordpress registration – so yes a wordpress subscriber account is needed – is there an issue with this ?

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    totally untested but try

    function rew_status_transitions( $post ) {
    	if ( $post->post_type == 'reply') {
    		$topic = bbp_get_reply_topic_id ($post->ID) ;
    		//update the post meta
    		update_post_meta ($topic, '_bbp_last_active_time' , $post->post_date) ;
    	}
    	 
    }
    add_action(  'future_to_publish',  'rew_status_transitions', 10, 1 );

    it’s not much of a codex, but it’s the only one there is! I wrote quite a lot if it when I started using bbpress – I’m just a bbpress user who helps on here. If you’d like to contribute, post suggested improvements and I’ll add them – just saying 🙂

    So if your code was working a few days ago, and it now isn’t, then you must have upgraded the theme, a plugin or changed something else. Without knowing what it’s hard to help.

    without explaining which ‘forum title’ you are referring to it is hard to answer

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    it really needs to also update the forum latest activity – I’ll try and look at that as well

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    this is more complicated than it as first looks, as there is forum data that needs updating

    but as a start

    function rew_status_transitions( $post ) {
    	if ( $post->post_type == 'topic') {
    		//update the post meta
    		update_post_meta ($post->ID, '_bbp_last_active_time' , $post->post_date) ;
    	}
    	 
    }
    add_action(  'future_to_publish',  'rew_status_transitions', 10, 1 );
