My client has a bbPress/BuddyPress/s2Member forum site with about 400+ members. The site has been running very well for about a year now. This morning I got a call from my client that the Forums are showing Page Not Found on child-forums only. The parent forum pages and topic pages are still displaying accurately. The only change made recently was updating to bbPress 2.3.2, but I can’t say for sure that the problem began immediately after updating.

We are running the following (all up-to-date versions):

• WordPress 3.5.1
• bbPress 2.3.2
• BuddPress 1.7.2
• s2Member Pro v130513

I have tried all of the following with no results:

• Re-saving Permalinks
• Changing Permalinks Structure
• Remapping to Default Roles
• Changing Archive Slugs and Single Slugs
• Flushing Rewrite Rules
• Adding some Capabilities Hacks (removed after they didn’t work)
• Deactivating every plugin (including bbPress and reactivating it)
• No new pages have been added
• No new Custom Post Types have been added

I get the same issue regardless of User Role (Keymaster, Admin, Participant, Moderator, etc…)

I am at a loss and my client is getting frustrated. Please help if you can. Thanks!

A client of mine uses a bbPress/BuddyPress site with a decent sized user base (400+) and out of the blue (seemingly) we are getting a 404 – Page Not Found on any Child Forum page. Topics still work, Parent Forums still work and it is the same no matter the User Role (Admin, Participant, Moderator, Keymaster…). All plugins are up to date. We did just upgrade to the latest bbPress and noticed the problem shortly after, but not 100% sure that was the cause.

WordPress 3.5.1
bbPress 2.3.2
BuddyPress 1.7.2
s2Member® Pro v130513

I am NOT using any Role/Capability Plugins.
Haven’t added any new plugins recently.
I tried:

• Re-saving Permalinks
• Changing Permalinks
• Flushing Rewrites
• Remapping Roles to Default
• Adding some Capability Hacks (removed after they didn’t work)
• Checking/Unchecking “Auto Role”
• Changing Archive Slugs and Single Slugs
• There have not been any new Pages added

I’m at a bit of a loss and my client is getting frustrated. Please help if you can!

Hey guys –

My bbPress installation is noticeably slower than the rest of my WordPress site. I have WordPress configured in a multi-site install with bbPress running in a daughter blog. Any time you click a page within the bbPress blog, it takes from 4-7 seconds to begin loading. Once loading begins it is fast. Elsewhere on my site there is no such delay and the pages load essentially immediately.

I have talked to my host and they’re claiming the issue is with the bbPress MySQL queries simply being slow. I have about 75k posts on my board software, which is a recent import from another format.

Can anyone help me speed this up for my users? Is there an optimization I should do? Should I limit returned topics per page? (I currently am returning 20 per page).

Thanks,
Zach

Here’s the site: itinerantangler.com. Everything is in WordPress now, so you can compare one section of the site versus the Board area, which is all bbPress.

@hansaplastique Images can already be added. In your case you just need to add style to the approved attributes for the img tag.

@tbermudas bbPress supports oembed (assuming you have it turned on in the settings) just like WordPress. So all you need to do is post the URL of the video (don’t link it) and it should automagically embed it.

[Jared Atchison]

It’s a limitation of WordPress.

bbPress does not use anything not native to WordPress. All the functionality is accomplished with custom post types, taxonomies, post meta, user meta, etc – it works really well.

However there are some features, such as this, that just can’t easily be done within the confines for the WordPress schema. I’ve talked to JJJ before about this, and it’s just not something that can easily be done without performance hit or using custom tables, neither of which are really ideal for bbP core.

there is a new plugin in development to restrict forums>topics>replies by user role, seems to work fine in my testing so far, requires wordpress members plugin

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/members-and-bbpress

https://github.com/ZanderAdam/Tehnik-bbPress-Permissions

http://www.tehnik-design.com

This plugin allows bbPress forums to be filtered and restricted based on the users ranks as set by the Members plugin.
The plugin will hide all forums and subforums the user does not have permissions to access.
It will display a 404 error if the user attempts to access restricted forum/topic

how do i add the @mention username under the forum user name on forum posts like is done here and on buddypress.org?

My site is fishwire. net and I’m using wordpress 3.5.1 and bbpress Version 2.3-rc1 as well as buddypress 1.7-beta2.

Thank you!

[Tbermudas]

I had this problem with bbpress 1.6 and bbpress 2.3.
I can’t find the topic where I found this solution.

The screen capture is from Internet. In my WordPress I have also only the first option.

[Tbermudas]

I had the same problem. Look if you have checked the “Allow search engines to index this site” option under “Reading”

It works for me.

[Jared Atchison]

If you would have taken 10 seconds to search the available plugins on WordPress.org you would have seen there is a plugin called “bbPress Members Only” that does this exact function.

But you didn’t.

[John James Jacoby]

Not enough information to help really. I don’t see any actual useful error message, though it looks like your page output halts in bbPress’s breadcrumb. You’ll need to look through your output, do some searching through the code, and debug what’s going on.

Start here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress

[Jared Atchison]

Are you using the official bbPress search?

NOT the WordPress search with bbPress enabled or any of the bbPress search plugins on WordPress.org?

[John James Jacoby]

There are too many unknowns. Try installing the Debug Bar plugin, and read up about debugging your installation here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress

[Jared Atchison]

There is nothing special about bbPress members. To make a member list you can simple use any normal WordPress plugin or tutorial that does this, it will be the same.

Who’s Online widgets typically have performance problems, even the BuddyPress one which is why you shouldn’t really show more than a handful of users. It just doesn’t scale terribly well with the schema we have available (eg WordPress).

PM functionality won’t be coming to bbPress, sorry. If you need PM functionality you will probably want to use BuddyPress anyways.

It sounds like you should probably just install BuddyPress as it will give you all this functionality. These items are purposely left out of bbPress – to keep it lean and mean – and are made available in BuddyPress.

Hey there you can use this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-members-only/

I posted the text below a couple of days ago. Since then, I have tried a different theme, tried installing the bbPress 2010 theme and even a couple mods to the page.php file I read about. Nothing’s working. Would really appreciate any advice. Thanks.
“I downloaded and installed bbPress. Put together a forum with three topics, added it to an existing page on my WordPress driven site and all was great! Half a dozen people registered, a couple of discussions began…it worked great. Now, all of a sudden with no warning, the forum is gone. If you click the page to view it, you see the path for the forum at the top, but nothing else: no topics, no area to add a topic or comment, nada. I’ve tried everything I can think of short of deleting the forum and starting over from scratch. Any thoughts? P.S. I can still see the forum and all topics/posts from the dashboard. I’m using wordpress 3.5.1 and bbPress 2.3.2. My site is henderson.lpnc.org.
Thanks for any help or advice!”

I have a multi-site installation of WordPress. I have created a local bbpress stylesheet in my theme that I want to load ONLY if the site administrator has activated the bbpress plugin. I am unclear on the conditional statement (e.g., “if(function_exists..”) to accomplish this as I do with other plugins that are optional. I have tried the following in my functions.php file but it throws an error. Please advise:

<?php 
//Load the bbpress styles if bbpress is installed //
if (class_exists( 'bbPress' ) ) {
?>
<link rel="stylesheet" id="bbpress_style" href="<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri(); ?>/bbpress.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<? } ?>

Any input would be appreciated. Thank you!

Can anyone tell me how to modify the result of “freshness” or to not appear or simply exit the format of the date of the last publication, for example March 20, 2013. thanks

Hello,

I am trying to use this bbpress for this theme…

Atahualpa

But it doesnt seem to work… Can anyone help out?

[justinwhall]

I’d like a forum to be visible on the forum page ONLY to a specific role. Seems that the forum roles override any sort of pcapabilityies I assign to the WordPress roles. This seems like new behavior?

So in short, How do I create a forum for a specific WP or BBP role? It would be great if this forum didn’t show up for other users, but at the ver least they wouldn’t be able to access it.

[hiboy]

I created a main “category” type, parent a “forum” type to it and when user post to the “forum” type, it lead to a “topic” type page.

I use widget logic plugin to show widget to the sidebar. I have a issue here, using is_single(), the widget show on both wordpress single post page and “topic” type single page, what logic should i use to show only on the “topic” type single page?

Another issue, secondly, i use Really simple Facebook Twitter share buttons plugin to show share button on my wordpress single post page, but the share button also appear in the parent “forum” type each individual “forum” type. Any solution?

Thirdly, how to move topic? possible in the frontend? cause my option only have | Edit | Close | Stick (to front) | Merge | Trash | Spam for the first post

[mantismamita]

Hello,
I just installed bbPress and am developing locally but when I create a new Topic from the front-end I get the following error:
ERROR: Are you sure you wanted to do that?
I’m not trying to do anything fancy (no sticky, no tags, no email subscription) and I checked using Twenty Eleven and had the same problem. I also updated the permalinks.

WordPress 3.5.1.
bbPress 2.3.2

I’d be most grateful if someone could shed some light on this.
