@mimbelli Here is the list of plugins, these could be about 7 plugins in total if you want to do the free route, or 4 plugins in total if you only want to use BuddyPress and GD bbPress toolbox (paid plugin)

• extended user profile – BuddyPress (also able to add more social network type features)
• private messaging – Front End PM/bbp-messages/BuddyPress
• user signature – GD bbPress tools/custom code using user description from user profile, or x profile field from BuddyPress
• attachments with inline images – Image upload for bbPress
• quote replies – GD bbPress tools
• report – bbPress report content
• view unread content – bbPress pencil unread

User signature, hot/new/sticky topics (labels/icons??), post count and join date, visual preview could be possible using a small piece of custom code and using bbPress hooks to display them.

@elovkoff

Use an inline image uploader, so at least the html of the image would be present in the post content box. GD bbPress attachments may have something for inline image uploading, but I think in the pro version.

This plugin is a good and simple inline image uploading plugin.

if ultimate member had user groups, then you can use

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/

to make the forums group specific

[Stephen Edgar]

Kind of thinking that 80 forums/sub-forums might be the cause… That *is* a lot of forums even for a pretty big site.

Maybe install these two plugins to help narrow things down:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/query-monitor/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/query-monitor-bbpress-buddypress-conditionals/

I tried starting a new forum at another site and got the same problem. This has the basic wordpress theme and no plugins.
http://www.gronboekoby.se/forums/

1. Open new browser and goto http://www.gronboekoby.se/forums/ or http://www.ecoby.se/forums/
2. Try to login with login fields – Does not work
3. Enter wordpress login http://www.gronboekoby.se/login/ or http://www.ecoby.se/login/
4. Repeat step 2 – Works!

Really annoying. Could it have something to do with the web hotel?

Hello,
I am using this plugin.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbresolutions/
Is there a way to create a link to all topics that are Unsolved?

Thanks.

[aduggan]

I tried about 6-8 themes and they all have the same result. Ok, if its just a theme issue then don’t worry. I thought it went deeper than that. I guess WordPress themes are not tweaked for bbPress so this is likely to occur with most themes and need a manual edit.
I am still in the process of testing before moving site so lots of other things to iron out yet.
Thanks.

As I said I’m a WP newbie trying to understand how everything works. These are my considerations so far. I do not want to hurt anybody.

After a couple of days of testing I’m really going insane trying to get a minimum acceptable installation.
While I understand that acceptable is a moot concept, I mean “similar classic feature of all free forum scripts out there” I’m not speaking about cutting edge features but really standard forum features since phpBB 2 hence:

• extended user profile
• private messaging
• user signature
• post count and join date below username
• post preview
• attachments with inline images
• quote replies
• report
• sticky, new, hot for topics
• view unread content

Now I understand that all of them can be obtained through 10 different plugins but I’m really scared to do so for these reasons:

• 10 different plugins and authors are very difficult to maintain. Chances something screw up are high, no matter how godd is the code.
• some of plugins implementing above features seems already nearly abandoned
• In one of my past life I was so naive to dope my Joomla installation with several third party mambot/plugins. When I had to upgrade I discovered that several of them where abandoned giving me a hege PITA to upgrade
• In a recent life I avoided to dope my IP Board installation with plugins but during a main upgrade I had the same problem with some mods I made by myself

Now I’m trying to bring everything to wordpress + bbpress but I see that it is a steep climb just to get what in 2016 is considered a forum with basic features. I’m not a developer otherwise I was already coding the missing pieces.

Please: less plugins – more core features

Not sure where you have put the screenshots, but I don’t see them : https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/tk-bbpress-stats/

They should go into the assets folder there. I normally use png, but I suppose jpg is possible too. And as Robin says: all lowercase !

WordPress 4.4.2
bbPress Version 2.5.8
link of my site

im having a issue with the login widget of bbPress. whenever i login as an admin it works fine, than it redirects to the forum again. but when i login with any other user it redirects me to the homepage instead of the forum. i want that all the users redirect to the forum again. can anyone help me out?

thanks

[Robkk]

This issue is theme related, because bbPress is just inheriting the CSS styles from the themes stylesheet. Same thing with the other themes, there are just some styles that could affect some classes in the code that can make the layout look different.

In the theme compat code in bbPress, has it where you can use default WordPress conditionals like is_single() which should show up for each single forum and topic, and is_archive() for the forum archive (forum root page) and topic archive (usually at yoursite.com/topics or forum root).

So while you did create a single forum page using shortcodes as an easy to do workaround, as the code for the “indentation” is created by your themes CSS and only for single pages using ,while you created a simple page. When you enter the normal forum url in 2016 you will see the same “indentation” you see on topics.

You are on the money on what CSS to use to fix the issue, there is just some media queries that you need to add is all. There will be a slight margin to the right around 700px width when the sidebar goes under the content, but a page has that same margin in your theme and for consistency I just say leave it in.

This CSS should help your help solve your issue.

@media screen and (min-width: 61.5625em) {
.bbpress .entry-content {
  float: none;
  width: auto;
}
}

Hello,
I would like to know how to add some text before the BBPress new topic box. Like here for example, it gives some instructions on what to include to help out the process of getting support. Here is an image from wordpress.org support showing the tips above the new topic form.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_h6oU4LzDtlWXdyd1NXTU9NNHM/view?usp=sharing
Any ideas on how I can do it?

Thanks.

I found this php script online, can anyone suggest if this is safe to empty the trash?

$strSql="SELECT ID FROM wp_posts WHERE post_status='trash'";
 
$con=mysqli_connect("localhost","my_wordpress_user","my_db_pass","my_wordpress_db_name") or die("Error connecting");
$result = mysqli_query($con, $strSql);
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)){
 printf($row['ID']."\n");
 }
mysqli_close($con);

php findtrash.php > trash.txt

$con=mysqli_connect("localhost","my_wordpress_user","my_db_pass","my_wordpress_db_name") or die("Error connecting");
$file = fopen("trash.txt", "r") or exit("Unable to open file!");
while(!feof($file)){
  $intId = fgets($file);
  $result = mysqli_query($con, "DELETE FROM wp_posts WHERE ID=".$intId);
  $result2 = mysqli_query($con, "DELETE FROM wp_postmeta WHERE post_id=".$intId);
  if($result && $result2){
        printf("Deleted id ".$intId);
        }else{
        printf("Results not positive".$result." ".$result2." for ".$intId." ");
        }
  }
fclose($file);
mysqli_close($con);

Thanks for the test. I have the same issue on 2016, so I created trac ticket https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2921
Let see if something can be done, for now you will have to live with the CSS trick above

Hi @casiepa,

Unfortunately, the site became slow gradually in around 12 hours, until it won’t just load anymore. I tried with even managed WordPress hosting who did some fine tuning but it still won’t work. I am in kind of a desperate situation where I am losing my visitors of more than 7 years.

I am willing to hire any expert to resolve this issue if possible.

Thanks, T

[luckyluuk]

OK it seems to work only if you been to the wordpress logon screen. When i restart the browser i cannot login. I have now added a button to login via wordpress logon screen. If i click it, then back the login BBpress login fields work! so strange!

[Shovan]

Hi I am getting the same error, has any one got fix for this?

Notice: bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly. The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init(). Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 2.3.) in /srv/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3792

Thanks

Hello!

I just made a fresh WP install and added bbPres as the one and only plugin. Here is how bbPress looks with the default theme Twenty Sixteen, when the color scheme is switched to Dark: http://goo.gl/Lfw3ii

Absolutely unusable! I’m pretty sure the default WordPress theme should be supported by bbPress. Is this a bug?

[Valery Kondakoff]

To be sure there is nothing wrong with my WP+bbPress install, I just reinstalled WordPress from scratch and added bbPress as the one and only plugin (this is the default theme Twenty Sixteen).

Here is a screenshot: http://goo.gl/1Bll3A

Why bbPress ‘reserves’ this left-margin space. Can this indentation be disabled?

Thank you!

[talhawp]

Hi @Pascal,

I successfully ran all the repair tools, but unfortunately I still have the issue.

I also moved my website later to a managed WordPress hosting provider that is optimized for performance, however I have same/worst performance issues. The only solution I had was to disable the bbPress plugin.

I am confident now that my server is okay.

Any more things I can try? I am thinking of trying 2.6 as well tonight.

Regards,
T

[Pascal Casier]

Never saw this before to be honest, but it’s more a WordPress issue…
http://www.ecoby.se/wp-login.php is blocked, but the moment I want to add a parameter (http://www.ecoby.se/wp-login.php?) it seems to respond.

Go to http://www.ecoby.se/wp-admin and check security plugins if any.

Pascal.

I have tested your code. Well I can select in the admin panel “edit topic” or “new topic” “featured image”, I select the picture…when I turn back to the topic, no picture. It doesn’t remain selected.
I use the latest WordPress: 4.30.
