Is it possible to customize the menu in forum and topic pages to delete the breadcrumbs altogether and only have a “Back” button option?

Wordpress Version – 4.7.4
bbpress – Version 2.5.12

Unfortunately I haven’t found a solution.
I still think that due to

Existing passwords are converted during the import so users can login to WordPress/bbPress as soon as the import and recounts have finished.

the converter should have saved the database information to read phpbb_users somewhere but it hasn’t, that’s way I’m getting the “Error establishing a database connection”.
Which I think is somehow related to
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1886

At this point I will ask my users to reset their password.
During my tests, I have also discovered that even if you reset your password, you are still getting the “Error establishing a database connection” error for migrated user and to “skip” it, you have to rename/delete the table “wp_bbp_converter_translator”.

Hi,

I tried the plugin “SI CAPTCHA Anti-Spam” (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/si-captcha-for-wordpress/), but it is not working for me.

I have configured the plugin for add new topic and add new reply forms. Captcha appears, but even after entering correct captcha, it is showing an error message “ERROR: Unreadable CAPTCHA token file”.

Can anybody help?

Thanks a lot,was looking for -php7.1 fix
when is the final release?
how to auto update on WordPress

[shieatt]

I’ve been digging a lot and trying all kinds of different things but really have no idea how to get my site working again.

For whatever reason – every time I try and login to the standard Admin dashboard at “restomod101.com/test/wp-admin” for WordPress I get redirected to “restomod101.com/test/forum-registration/” which leads me to think its a redirect issue with bbpress but I could be wrong.

Whereas “restomod101.com/test/wp-login” takes me to a 404 error page.

What makes this all the more odd is the homepage seems to work fine EXCEPT when I click on any link, it resolves to a 404 page.

I’ve tried turning all the plugins off by renaming my plugins folder, I’ve tried my main themes folder but that takes me to a blank page.

What exactly has gone wrong?

Page is: restomod101.com/test/

Just trying to access the standard admin dashboard, I’ve put so much work into this site to lose it now!! Any help would be sincerely appreciated.

Another solution for those interested. This makes use of the “Shortcodes in Menus” plugin to easily place the bbpress “View Profile” and “Edit Profile” links in your WordPress nav menus. Instructions:

1 – Install the free plugin “Shortcodes in Menus”
2 – Place the following code in your theme’s functions.php file:

function menu_profile_link() { 
		$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
		$profile_menu_item = '<li><a href="' . home_url('forums/users/') . $current_user->user_nicename . '">View Profile</a></li>';
		return $profile_menu_item;
}
add_shortcode('bbp-profile', 'menu_profile_link');

function menu_edit_profile_link() { 
		$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
		$profile_menu_item = '<li><a href="' . home_url('forums/users/') . $current_user->user_nicename . '/edit">Edit Profile</a></li>';
		return $profile_menu_item;
}
add_shortcode('bbp-edit-profile', 'menu_edit_profile_link');

3 – In WordPress go to your Menus and go to the new Shortcodes panel. Type in “View Profile” as the title and underneath that type in [bbp-profile] to place the profile link in your menu. Click “Add to Menu”. Repeat this process using the shortcode [bbp-edit-profile] to add the “Edit Profile” link.

4 – I’d also recommend the free plug-in “Nav Menu Roles” to restrict your menu items to logged in or logged out users.

Hope this is useful!

Hello,

I have a plugin that is used to index search results in to Amazon CloudSearch. I’ve written the below code to exclude private forums from search results. Now I need some code to automatically exclude all topics inside a private forum.

function exclude_private_forums_search() {
	$forum_id = bbp_get_forum_id();
	if (get_post_status($forum_id) == 'private') {
		add_post_meta($forum_id, 'acs_exclude', 1, true );
	} else {
		delete_post_meta($forum_id, 'acs_exclude');
	}
}
add_action('bbp_new_forum', 'exclude_private_forums_search' );
add_action('bbp_edit_forum', 'exclude_private_forums_search' );

Is there anyway I can get a list of topic IDs inside a forum ID?

Running latest version of bbPress and WordPress.

Thanks.

Hi
Newbie would be grateful for some help …..

WordPress 4.7.4 – bbPress 2.5.12
https://bijouxbutterflies.co.uk/forums/

Using the “Creating Content” guide I created my first forum and topic with no problems.
I then created a second forum (latest news) with one topic (trade mark registered).
Although both forums and both topics show in wp-admin, when I visit the website only the first forum shows.
What do I have to change to get both forums listed?
Thanks

Hi all

Shared Windows hosting.
WordPress 4.6.5 running Karma theme.

Hosting provider will not change the IIS config for just me, they recommend me adding a Linux shared hosting and host the bbpress on that server, external to the site.

When I search with one word – it works fine. When I search with two words it gives the error:

HTTP Error 404.11 – Not Found
The request filtering module is configured to deny a request that contains a double escape sequence.

Most likely causes:
The request contained a double escape sequence and request filtering is configured on the Web server to deny double escape sequences.

Things you can try:
Verify the configuration/system.webServer/security/requestFiltering@allowDoubleEscaping setting in the applicationhost.config or web.confg file.

More Information:
This is a security feature. Do not change this feature unless the scope of the change is fully understood. You should take a network trace before changing this value to confirm that the request is not malicious.

Hello,

First of all i am using 4.7.4 version of WordPress and 2.5.12 version of bbpress.
The problem is when i click “Forums” button (on WordPress Admin) i get HTTP 500 error
this happens when i click “New Forum” or “All Forums” too.

The weird part is that i can open a topic without no forum.

My WordPress site: forums.the-rvo.com

[bigt11]

@welshdemon did you ever figure this out, I am pretty much doing – stuck exactly where you are. I am going for older bbpress to newer bbpress that is part of a full site update and just want to bring everything in cleanly. It does bring in my replies, and they seem to be connected properly in the backend, but frontend, they do not show.

If i edit a reply, and just hit the update button, it will then show. I want to avoid doing that 1000 times.

Even if I export the topics from the new site, that show properly after I did the update trick mentioned above, then bring it back in (wordpress import) to test if it will import properly, it does not, has same symptoms a you mentioned.

Latest News: I restored WordPress to a few weeks ago, but still with the latest release.

Rstoring, the issue disappeared. And some plugins asked me to make an upgrade because of the restore to a few weeks ago. Due to the problem “solved”, I tried to update one plugin by one, and see if the problem comes back. Yes! It came back after the update of “Custom Sidebars”.

“ok” – I thought – “now deactivate it and see if the problem disappears”. Well, deactivating Custom Sidebars, the issue remains! And the only way to make it disappear is, now, deactivating BBpress.

What a confusion!

What do you think?

[timsilva_]

I was considering Tapatalk for bbPress (after migrating from SMF which has Tapatalk support) a while back in an effort to compete with Slack.

I did bookmark this URL: https://tapatalk.com/download_bbpress.php – but it is no longer active, it just redirects. Here is the archive.org version: https://web-beta.archive.org/web/20150911232515/https://tapatalk.com/download_bbpress.php

There also was this plugin, but I haven’t tested it or confirmed that it is actually meant for bbPress specifically (it looks like it is for blog comments): https://wordpress.org/plugins/tapatalk/

If anyone is currently using Tapatalk with bbPress, let us know how. 🙂

[ico33]

Ok… for now I have to restore to the previous WordPress, because in this way every user can’t see login, can’t see the pages refreshed, and it’s a problem. Hope somebody will answer.

bbPress Moderation

[newz12]

I have hired someone to look at the database and this is his comments:

==========================================

so, basically your query is processing too many records in a couple of tables wp_posts(1’980’935 records) and wp_postmeta(10’818’678). It matches and returns 57’639 records.

The core query is:
select SQL_NO_CACHE wp_posts.* FROM wp_posts INNER JOIN wp_postmeta ON ( wp_posts.ID = wp_postmeta.post_id ) WHERE 1=1 AND (wp_posts.ID = 515125 OR wp_posts.post_parent = 515125);

which returns 399’291 record for 2.1s
which is a huge join

Then the extra “where” conditions add extra time. The query bellow:

select SQL_NO_CACHE wp_posts.* FROM wp_posts INNER JOIN wp_postmeta ON ( wp_posts.ID = wp_postmeta.post_id ) WHERE 1=1 AND (wp_posts.ID = 515125 OR wp_posts.post_parent = 515125) AND wp_postmeta.meta_key = ‘_bbp_forum_id’;

reduces the returned records to: 57’639 and in fact the rest of the where statements do not change the final result but are only adding more time for processing.
The query takes about 3s.

Both queries above are well indexed and are execucuted in the optimal way.
With this amount of returned records matched against the 2 big tables (~11mln and ~2mln records in each) executon time of less than 3s can not be achieved.

is this forum using a custom php code developed in house?

ME: It is using bbPress, which runs on WordPress

the thing is, this code is not optimal in term of database design
because it’s using a couple of wordpress general storage tables
to store the forum posts and threads
as you can guess this 2 tables have a lot more data in it along the forum data
from other hand the query you sent has too many “where” conditions
which are not relevant at all

AND CAST(wp_postmeta.meta_value AS SIGNED) NOT IN (‘515120′,’515123’) ) )
AND wp_posts.post_type IN (‘topic’, ‘reply’)
AND (
(wp_posts.post_status = ‘publish’ OR (wp_posts.post_status = ‘pending’ AND wp_posts.post_author = 0) OR wp_posts.post_status = ‘closed’ OR wp_posts.post_status = ‘hidden’)
OR
(wp_posts.post_author = 0 AND (wp_posts.post_status = ‘private’))
)

non of this are changing the final result at all, but are slowing the core query with extra time

in short – there is not an easy “magic” fix in the database side
as I said the core query is well indexed and runs optimal by the SQL engine
the only thing can be done is to change the query a bit
but we can hardly get it under 2.5s
and this will require PHP code changes

ME: What would be your suggestion to achieve a similar performance with database?

get rid of the WP
the WP pluggin you use is a forum implementation on top of WP
understand that, but you are expecting something by this WP pluggin that it can’t provide

with storring everyhing in a couple of tables – that can’t be done

won’t even comment:
AND CAST(wp_postmeta.meta_value AS SIGNED) NOT IN (‘515120′,’515123’) ) )

this part
wp_postmeta | CREATE TABLE wp_postmeta (
meta_id bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
post_id bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT ‘0’,
meta_key varchar(255) COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci DEFAULT NULL,
meta_value longtext COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci,
PRIMARY KEY (meta_id
)

as you can see meta_value field is a longtext!!!
you can imagine how can you filter by this field
without index
scanning millions of records by a field that holds huge strings
in same table wp stores all sessions, etc..

just to imagine how much extra data is stored in wp_postmeta table
here is a some stats by meta_key and the number of records (top 20 or so):

| external_image_id | 100828 |
| external_place_lat | 100845 |

in fact this WP pluggin is using mysql as a simple storage and not as a relational DB
as I said above it’s a bad DB design problem
because it’s a just a pluggin/extension of a CMS system

==========================================================

Basically he is telling me that we won’t be able to achieve good loading time, because it is running on WordPress and the database design is a problem.

What do you think, is there hope?

We run a forum with 1.4 million posts and almost 100k members, if it can give you an idea.

Hi, in my site I noticed a strange issue after last WordPress update. It seems to have problem with “cache”.

For example, if I log-in through the Home Page, after click in sign-in, the page refresh but it seems that the log-in didn’t work. If I press F5 to refresh the page, here I can now see the log-in effectuated.

I thought about my caching plugin, and I wrote to the assistance of my provider. They exclude the problem is in caching plugin, they found this:

The issue appears to be caused from the latest WordPress upgrade that was automatically applied within your website.

Code:

sitename@esm9 [~/public_html]# wp core version
4.7.4

There seems to be conflict between a plugin of yours that is creating this strange behavior within the website.

To find which is the responsible plugin, you may start deactivating them one by one and after that checking the functions that were not working as expected. Once they work this will indicate which plugin caused the issue.

I did what they suggest, and when I deactivate BBPRESS, everything works! So, what to do??
