Just curious if someone could help me here..
I would like to use bbPress but not mainly as forum/support software, what I like to do is use the Forums function as categories to create structure and navigation on my site and the Topics functions as kinda ‘posts’ – the Replies function will not be used. I will remove that part from the template files.
The main reason why I want to use bbPress for my site is the Subscribe and Favorite functions.
Default members of the site can subscribe and favorite topics ‘posts’ and receive email notifications when they change content. That’s the most important feature I would like to use out of bbPress everything else I will customize to my liking.
The only thing that worries me is the performance of bbPress.
What if my site holds 15.000 members, 25.000 topcis ‘posts’ and let’s say 5.000 members subscribe to a single topic-ID. How will WordPress/bbPress handle the outgoing emails to 5.000 people will this increase the performance a lot?
Thanks,
This works
// hook failed login
add_action('wp_login_failed', 'my_front_end_login_fail');
function my_front_end_login_fail($username){
// Get the reffering page, where did the post submission come from?
$referrer = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
// if there's a valid referrer, and it's not the default log-in screen
if(!empty($referrer) && !strstr($referrer,'wp-login') && !strstr($referrer,'wp-admin')){
// let's append some information (login=failed) to the URL for the theme to use
wp_redirect($referrer . '?login=failed');
exit;
}
}

it takes awhile for Google to adjust to an SEO plugin so it might take a few hours, so for default without any configuration Google will auto-generate descriptions sometimes
i think this variable is used for taxonomies like topic tags ..%%ct_desc_<custom-tax-name>%%
i think you should try the excerpt variable %%excerpt%%
i also recommend manually writing every forum/category description , using the excerpt variable for topics , and no-index/follow replies but that’s my opinion.
Hi Robin,
Given you’re so knowledgeable on bbPress and I really don’t want to go making a mess after getting the forum working nicely, is there a plugin you would recommend to get the nice visual editor for post replies, instead of the default? I think my users are more visual, trying to use the default buttons will make their heads implode!
Thanks.
I did, it doesn’t work with my theme (or maybe Genesis, I don’t know), unfortunately. I could never get “bbpress sidebar” to display. Genesis has a specific bbpress sidebar that can be activated, that’s the only thing other than default I’m able to display.
yes this should be the default.
go to
dashboard>forums>anonymous posting and make sure it is not ticked !
yes look in the form templates which you’ll find in the plugin
bbpress/templates/default/bbpress
in particular
bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-topic.php
and
bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-reply.php
either
a)( You’ll find several hooks in there which you can add_action to , or
b) you can copy these templates to your theme and modify happily by
create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress
where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme
then find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/xx.php
where xx.php is say form-topic.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/xx.php
where xx.php is say form-topic.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
Could anyone recommend a rating and/or sorting plugin that will let me sort the threads on my bbpress forum by the highest voted and/or most replied to threads? I’m thinking Reddit here, i.e. upvotes and then shifting “sort by” to Top and so on.
Unless this is built into bbpress default and I’m just being an idiot, in which case please point me in the right direction to set that up.
ok, it’s working fine on my test site with bbpress and twentyten.

The default is 15, you can changes this in the forumsettings to what ever you like.
The shortcode doesn’t support a parameter.
bbpress stores its role in the same array as wordpress roles
ie in
usermeta[‘wp_capabilities’]
and an entry looks like
a:2:{s:13:”administrator”;s:1:”1″;s:13:”bbp_keymaster”;b:1;}
with admin being the wordpress role and bbp_keymaster being the bbpress role.
A pure wordpress user would look like
a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;s:1}
Now, and this is probably key, when a users registers they just get the wordpress role. When they then log on bbpress sees that it has no role set, so assigns the default role.
Now if emember is writing info to wp_capabilities, it could be overwriting part or the entire array (so by mistake deleting the bbpress role) or appending to it so that bbpress no longer sees it’s role. Then when the user next logs on, bbpress will see no role set, and set it back to the default.
This could explain why users would be going back to default
yes but you’ll need to do some coding
see
http://generatewp.com/shortcodes/
the code would go in your functions file
Functions files and child themes – explained !
and the code you’ll be seeking to shortcode is in
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/
in particular
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/user-details.php
give me your theme name
I have tried using all of the bolded .php page options as well as copying the single.php into the bbpress plug in php page.
to me this sounds like your not doing it right
follow this guide

and this too

the bbpress.org editor is what bbpress has by default you can activate the editor in settings>forums.
other than that you can see what is causing these weird issues .

@zvonfeng
are you using pieces of this theme https://github.com/syamilmj/Supportte
or did your theme come with that kind of forum layout??
because it says you need to install the search everything plugin for the search bar to appear.
and also i see breadcrumbs by the title.
other than that if you did take parts of the Supportte theme it would be harder to customize than the default bbPress theme.
hi Jacob, first of all, P2Breathe is a boring theme, and all those functions are common to install to any bbpress forum.
I would love to see a link to your slowed down website, just to have a look.
I disagree with your initial statements about bbpress not being mature forum software, Vbulletin and IPBoard are both main competitors, but bloated and full of extra functions most forums do not use/need, slowing them down just as much as some plugins can do to bbpress.
BBPress does exactly what they do, and perhaps even more thanks to the wordpress platform and the 1000’s of people on forums developing more every day, ofcourse most plugins are crap (sorry dev’s) just like anything that comes mass produced, but following tips and hints from other users should guide you through the swamp to find the real gems there are available.
For me BBPress is becoming more and more the forum choice by default.
And you mentioned Disquss, so no need to have bbpress concentrate on comments for wordpress since there is already a very good alternative.
Peace

But the other problem is still there:
For example, I have A and B forums and I created a topic in A, then when I open B forum, the A topic will show up in B, too.
But I don’t want A’s topic showing up in B. How do I do that?
Is the issue there with all plugins disabled AND a default theme?
you should have breadcrumbs and searchbar by default
for searchbar look in
dashboard<settings>forums>forum features and make sure that ‘search’ is ticked.
Your theme can prevent breadcrumbs from showing, as can other plugins

Back at last! It was just the .php memory. When they ‘increased’ it, they just didn’t do a good enough job of it which was why I was still having problems. It’s now currently all back up and working. I have followed your directions re: deactivating, removing and then reactivating with no effect.
I’m not sure if/what good any of this information might be to you but:
* the page I have set for the forum is “default template” and the sidebar is set as “Default sidebar” BUT no matter which page template I select, nothing changes, even if I select full width template I am still shown as having a side bar. Further, despite it showing the default sidebar as being selected, it is actually a different sidebar (called archive/post/search sidebar) which is being displayed. This is the sidebar that displays for “Category”, but not for subcategories. I can’t however find anywhere outside of .php files that set the category sidebar. So I don’t know if there is perhaps code messing up in there somewhere.
Also, should I be creating a bbPress.php file to add to the theme? I can do this, it’s a mess around as I have to get the website people to upload it for me, but if it’s going to help I can do that.
Thanks for your help Robin, sorry for the delay, but at least we’re back in to it now!
Gotcha… I disabled all plugins and theme, The forums works with a default theme, but not with the theme I am using, WeeklyNews, purchased on Themeforest. The problem is only the main navigation menu with the error message above. When I activate the theme, but deactivate all plugins but bbPress, the problem still exists.
The tests I suggested are to find the error, I am not expecting you to stay without them.
If you follow the tests, then if the forums work with just bbpress as the only plugin and your theme, then bbpress is conflicting with another plugin, hence you add back until you find which one, THEN you come back and let us know.
If even the above doesn’t work, then bbpress you change to a default theme such as tewntyten. If that works the issue is with your theme, so we go down that route.
If none works then bbpress has not installed properly.
Hi,
I’m using bbpress with the Organic Web theme and I cannot get my sidebar widgets to show up.
I have tried using all of the bolded .php page options as well as copying the single.php into the bbpress plug in php page.
I have the page set to Default Page on the page template option.
Any idea as to what can be causing this? If you need more information please ask away, I’d be happy to provide it for you. Just not sure what else you’d need. =)
Thanks!
ok, I can your issue
