I feel as though I’m losing my mind. There’s an option to enable the full TinyCME editor correct?

I’m looking at this: https://codex.bbpress.org/enable-visual-editor/

But when I do that, all I’m seeing is this:

I’ve tried the code in the codex on a base WordPress theme and all plugins disabled.

Is it possible to enable a more robust editor?

Thanks

The whole wordpress site is slow for logged out users and I not sure if it’s related to bbpress or buddypress. Every page take about 4 sec and 0.5 sec for logged in users

Wordpress: 4.7.3
Buddypress: 2.8.2
bbpress: 2.6b2
25000 users

With QueryMonitor I can see the following
SELECT wp_users.ID,wp_users.user_login,wp_users.user_pass,wp_users.user_nicename,wp_users.user_email,wp_users.user_url,wp_users.user_registered,wp_users.user_activation_key,wp_users.user_status,wp_users.display_name
FROM wp_users
WHERE 1=1
AND wp_users.ID IN (40269,32606,34524,34322,40331,40334,36153,25677… and all user id’s

Caller is WP_User_Query->query()
wp-includes/class-wp-user-query.php:600

Component:
Plugin buddypress

The funny thing is if I disable bbpress and rtMedia with (bbpress plugin) that big query is not taking place.

Hi @panda666uk,

Kunena3 is in the list of forums that can be imported. Just go to /wp-admin/tools.php?page=bbp-converter after having installed WordPress and bbPress.

bbpress uses wordpress registration.

wordpress assumes that you will need a role, so requires all users to have one.

The wordpress toolbar is frankly horrible.

so simplest solution is to hide the toolbar for all but non admins

there are several plugins available to do this

eg https://wordpress.org/plugins/hide-admin-bar-from-non-admins/

[panda666uk]

Are there any free tools/files/code out there to migrate a Kunena forum on a joomla site over to bbpress on a wordpress site ?

Thanks

If you post a hyperlink using the link button then it matters not if it’s http or https as it’s just a reference on the page that does not download anything but if you use the img button then if your site is SSL and the image comes from a source that’s not then the certificate throws warnings.

I don’t want to change all links to https as that overkill so I’m looking for the best way to just change links using the <img/> tag to https as using this does not work:

<img src="i.imgur.com/V6sg3f0.png" alt="" />

but does outside of WordPress ie in MYBB that is how you avoid certificate issues.

[Col_Blimp]

Hi Robin, you know images from my own site are all SSL so WordPress works in this instance but its with BBPress when the user makes a post and uses the insert image button to link an image from another site that the problems occour ie:

<img src="https://i.imgur.com/V6sg3f0.png" alt="" />
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/V6sg3f0.png" alt="" />
<img src="i.imgur.com/V6sg3f0.png" alt="" />

but this site here is changing the http to https in all links so the demonstration is a bit of a fail 🙂

But a non https url will not break a certificate as that only happens if the link is embedding something in the post.

[Robin W]

but if you do want to change it throughout your site use

Velvet Blues Update URLs

and change the http to https

[Robin W]

WordPress doesn’t seem to like it when you do that and wont show any image.

wordpress will quite happily show images with no domain name just the directory & file

eg

change

http://www.mysite.com/uploads/2017/march/pic.jpg  

to

/uploads/2017/march/pic.jpg

Hi, you know the sites SSL only and the browser warnings for non SSL images are overkill and off putting so I would rather the site have the green padlock all the time and have the users find a decent image host than show all images but have browser warnings.

Usually removing the http:// altogether works and the browser will show the green padlock for non SSL images but WordPress doesn’t seem to like it when you do that and wont show any image.

Hi Steve,

As Robin answered, you could look into his coding for the bbP Style Pack to see how it works.

There is also https://codex.bbpress.org/layout-and-functionality-examples-you-can-use/#8-add-edit-profile-to-a-wordpress-menu that might give you a hint.

Pascal.

Hello Pascal,

Thanks for your reply. Yes, the kind of forum I have in mind is one forum per question. The question would be one that triggers opinions rather than exact answers. If students would read the already available answers first, opinions tend to cluster around the ones that were given first. If they have to formulate their opinion before being able to read the others, there is much larger variety of opinions. And yet they can engage in discussions about each other’s opinions afterwards.

I’m new to WordPress and bbpress, but from the try-outs and tests we have been doing over the past week it looks like the LearnDash plugin in combination with bbpress would be suitable for our needs. We’re ready to invest some work in this if needed. Hence, if you have a suggestion about suitable plugins or would have specific advice for the ‘short coding’ you mention, we will surely investigate.

Thanks !

How do I add a link to my menu for people to access their profile an update it.

use my style pack

bbp style pack

and go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>login and set the options there

Hi!, I need to do this in my wordpress. I’ver already installed rpb-chessboard and bbpress-do-short-codes plugins, but i don’t know where i have to call function
add_filter (‘pw_bbp_parse_shortcodes_cap’ , ‘publish_topics’ ) ;

When I active bb-press-do-shot-codes [pgn] and [fen] sections were disappeard.

Thanks!

I am looking for a WordPress forum plugin for an educational environment, and came across bbPress. It has many promising features, but there is one essential feature I need for which I cannot find confirmation in the documentation whether it is available in bbPress. This is it:

When a user (student) posts for the first time to a forum — typically in answer to the question related to that specific forum — I want they cannot read the available forum posts until they have submitted their first post: I see nothing/I submit my first post/now I see all other posts.

This is a ‘trick’ often used in educational settings, because it stimulates every student to think about the question from scratch, unbiased by the previous answers. Such an approach stimulates a larger diversity of answers.

Is such a tool available in bbpress?

Thanks for your insight!

[Stephen Edgar]

Thanks for the detailed explanation @tweichart 🙂

This has been fixed for the upcoming bbPress 2.6

It was fixed via https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/6113

bbp profile information

[Dustin L.]

WordPress 4.7.3
bbPress 2.5.12

Everything was working fine with WooCommerce 2.6.14. I had forum root set to ‘community’ and I created a page with the slug ‘community’. When navigating to /community WP was displaying my page.

After updating to WooCommerce 3.0.1 WP now displays the forum root (archive-forum.php) instead of the my custom page (page-community.php).

If I switch to storefront or any of the recent Twenty * themes the problem goes away. If I use my theme and disable all other plugins, the problem persists. So this seems to be a conflict between my theme and WooCommerce that is causing this issue.

I can resolve the issue by changing either the forum root or my page slug but I would prefer not to do that. Any ideas on how I might be able to resolve this and keep my URLs intact?

[nesiditsa]

I think you should review some meta fields in WordPress DB if you can. You may find meta “menu_order” in last post of topic and “_bbp_last_active_id” meta field of first topic post. It needs to review both fields after posting in long topic with issue.

[Robin W]

great – glad that worked.

yes use my style pack plugin

bbp style pack

[nesiditsa]

Hi, dayan89! You should do corrections in core code of bbpress – https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/5338. After that it needs to run “Recalculate the position of each reply” repair tool (Пересчитать положение каждого ответа – in Russian).

I AM a hosting provider. Crazy fast servers. Siteground can hold a candle to what I run 😉

But when software is this bogged down, the hardware cost is just too high to justify. I would have to charge my customers 10X to make up for the performance difference and new hardware requirements.

Ive been optimizing for weeks, but the sad truth is, I could run on 1/5th-1/10th the hardware if I simply switched to other forum software that was built from the ground up to run forums. WordPress architecture has bbPress’s hands effectively tied.

[5lions]

Well, even after killing the heartbeat, and running a hardware/software that is probably at least 400% faster, my users are complaining about how slow everything is.

I may have to start the nightmare of migrating to yet another solution. 🙁

The newish wpForo forum plugin for wordpress looks very nice, and yhey use their own set of tables so probably very fast.

***BUT*** they have no 301 redirect solution from bbPress which means I would lose all my google rankings. So thats a deal breaker.

Its 2017 and forum solutions are still bad. Frustrated as hell. Cant find anything that works well and integrates with wordpress well. Burned soooo much time on this.

Hello fellow bbpressers,

I have a problem. Latest reply link in sidebar widget is not functioning properly in a thread with big amount of replies. On other threads it is functioning correctly.

Link is like this: http://dailyfantasysports.ru/forum/topic/ponesli-sandali-mityu/#post-21564

You see? There is no page slug in URL!

It has to be like this: http://dailyfantasysports.ru/forum/topic/ponesli-sandali-mityu/page/53/#post-21564

But it’s not!

How to fix it?

I’ve tried to repair forums (WordPress Dashboard -> ‘Tools’ -> ‘Forums’ -> ‘Repair Forums’ ) It helps. But only until next reply in this thread. After new reply link is broken again.

Please tell me how to fix it. Cannot solve this problem for whole month!
