Here is the original graph.

That massive CPU use that was bringing the site to a crawl and destroying this brand new server that ONLY has this single forum running on is, is due to wordpresses terrible idea of using /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php to poll the shit out of the server for bad reasons 24/7 any time someone has a page open.

Also partially due to bbpress slowness.

That first large drop in cpu you see, and the subsequent large drop to the end of the graph is me completely blocking admin-ajax.php in nginx until I can figure out how to make it work smarter.

All the latest heartbeat plugins do no seem to work with the latest wordpress. Cannot slow down the heartbeat or turn it off, so I filtered it.

This is really bad, because I have a community website that allows people to post photos and videos (outside the forum with custom post types) and all of that is broken with admin-ajax.php being blocked.

Seems no one has successfully solved this issue well on the internet 🙁

As to performance
——————-
This same site used to run on vanilla forums on a 2 cpu box with 4 gigs of ram very FAST.

The wordpress/bbpress version runs on a 6 cpu, 12gig box which also includes php 7 upgrade.
PHP7 is a huge speed improvement over 5.6.

This new machine literally only had this one site on it.

The old box was somewhat shared with the vanilla forum.

So even with effectively double the power, if not more, this runs substantially slower on wordpress/bbpress *sigh*

I just have to accept I need to pay triple the price for half the performance if I want to stick to wordpress.

Unless bbpress some day decides to have its own tables, and re-architect specifically for forum performance, were stuck with this. That of course would break a ton of plugins with the whole “share everything via the posts table architecture”.

May be worth it though. There is a big opportunity here to take over the forum world because its frankly is disarray. All the forum software out there is in a state of suck or dying and there is no clear winner. The integration with wordpress, and its zillion plugins, are what makes this performance sacrifice barely worth it.

Some feedback on beta 2.

I run a forum with:
20K topics
216K replies
9200 users

I took the risk of running a beta in version in prod because performance was just killing me.

Here is a graph of overall system load after I installed beta2.

I had to stretch the graph so you can see the difference.
It had a substantial effect. Wheeew. Really needed this.

Been very unhappy with the wordpress platform for running a forum. Wrong architecture.

I have come to realize Im just going to have to spend a lot more money to run a site on wordpress than forum software that was originally architected for forums. Frustrating how slow wordpress is and how bad their design is.

Hi,
That will need some programming probably. The starting point has nothing to see with bbPress, so you could refer to these examples as this is all about the WP admin bar: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_node

[akira010203]

wp-config and .htaccess no. It’s the default one generated by wordpress.

About php.ini and php-config, I don’t have these files and I’m on a shared hosting.

given that wordpress uses bbpress, suspect loads more than 50 !

care to define what ‘the forum crashes’ actually means ?

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
That’s all depending on the theme you use. The theme used here is not directly available as a theme to install, but if you are interested in the sources, you can find them here: https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk/buddypress.org/public_html/wp-content/themes/bb-base

WordPress 4.7.3 running Lana Blog theme.
BBpress Version 2.5.12
Link: bcompetitive.in

I am unable to make the sidebar work on my forum pages. It works if I use short-codes for forums, but you know it is not practical. I tried editing page.php with code if_bbpress. That gives me a sidebar below the forum.
I tried bbpress wp tweaks and nothing happened.
I copied pagewith sidebar template from the theme and renamed it as bbpress.php, nothing happened.
Can anyone help?
I am absolutely new to coding.
I wish to have same sidebar as that of blog.

Perhaps this plugin will help

bbPress Moderation

Devs are busy with version 2.6 at the mo, so suspect any new requests are not being looked at.

Hello! I really like the way this forum (bbPress support) allows users to manage their profile. Is it using a particular plugin? My website still displays the standard WordPress black bar across the top of the page for registered users who are logged in.

Thank you!

Hi @josnierop,

I know the basics and that has always been useful. Happy to see you’re fixed.

PS. Kom gerust op de Nederlandse chat voor verdere of algemene vragen, we zijn niet allemaal WordPress/bbPress nerds daar 🙂

[Robin W]

try

dashboard>settings>permalinks

You don’t need to change anything, just click save.

This forces wordpress to re-write and sometimes fixes these sorts of issues.

Hi,

I recently saw that all of my forums and reply pages won’t open. The only thing that opens now is the first page of the forum. The others open only in blank page.

Moreover, when I discovered the issue, I deactivated and re-activated all of my plugins, I have reinstalled the bbPress plugin, I have deactivated all of the plugins except bbPress and I have reindexed the permalink but nothing fixed the issue.

I mention that I have created forums and that there are hundreds of replies in there. Also, I’m using the latest version of bbPress on the latest version of WordPress.

My forum is here: https://itutorial.ro/forum/ .

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I have decided to use another software option for my forums.

I was wondering how I go about removing the bbpress data from wordpress once I export my forums out.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
You might be better off asking in the support forum of that plugin (https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/addquicktag), but you will have to specify what does not work…
– Do you see the custom type ‘topic’ and ‘reply’ in the settings of the plugin ?
– Do you see the quicktags when you are adding a topic/reply ?
– When you click on the button or in the dropdown, does some code show ?

Because just a ‘it does not seem to work’ is very hard to give the correct support.
Pascal.

Goede middag Jos,

The translation is done centrally and changing it would change it for everybody in the (Dutch speaking) world. If you think it should be changed, feel free to join the #polyglots channel on the Dutch local slack that you can find on https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/handbook/about/teams/local-slacks/

If you want to change it only for your own website, I would just change the width adding some extra CSS like:

.bbp-login-form label {
    width: 150px;
}

(you might need the !important to make it work)

Pascal.

I’m trying to use AddQuicktag in bbpress “create new topics” editor, but doesn’t seem to work.
It does work perfectly in the WordPress “create new topics” editor.

Can someone tell me how to resolve this problem?

Versions of software.
WordPress 4.7.3
bbPress 2.5.12
AddQuicktag 2.5.1

Hi all,

I’ve been searching high and low for a solution for this: Whether an admin or subscriber posts a reply to a topic, they are automatically redirected back into the dashboard.

When posting a reply, I’d like the user to stay in that topic (so they can see their reply) or at least redirect back to the forum page after they leave a reply.

Here’s my info:

WordPress version: 4.7.3

bbPress version: Version 2.5.12

Link: https://staging8.airwolf3d.com/3d-printing-forum/

Add’l Info: Theme is Twenty Sixteen and all plugins except bbPress deactivated. No changes to WP core.

Any reply is much appreciated. If you can even just point me to the correct resource, I would be grateful. I’ve researched this thoroughly and in good faith, but just can’t figure it out.

Thanks,

Jazmin

If you need to send that many emails per hour, then I suggest moving to a dedicated email service.

I don’t have a view on WordPress plugins for SMTP, but maybe some like ‘postman smtp’ might do caching or retry ?

Hi Alex,
If you want to get help about that plugin, you better put your question directly on the support forum of that plugin: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbresolutions

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
Do you have any plugins installed like TypoFR or anything that would automatically change the behaviour of the quotes?

If you want to have a try with my bbp-toolkit plugin, v1.0.8 has some included fixes for the HTML pasting. Let me know the outcome.

Pascal.

Hello,

I am currently using this plugin.

bbResolutions

I have a custom table setup just below the topic reply box, it’s a custom template. I would like to display in this table if the topic is “Resolved”, “Not Resolved”, or “Not a Question”. Is there anyway to do this? I’ve not had any luck.

Decided to post here since the forum on wp.org seemed really lonely.

Thanks.
