I believe my problem is related, or similar to this issue https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1844#no1

The infinite loop is fixed if I avoid the use of the_content()

Issue #1844 says it was fixed a year ago though…and I’m running the latest version of bbpress…so I don’t know why I ran into this problem.

I’m running wordpress 3.5.1 and bbpress 2.3.2. I’m having difficulty viewing/editing a users profile.

When you click on the name of the person who started a topic, or on your own “Edit Profile” link, the site “spins” for quite awhile then displays a very large page that has a large number of that users profile displayed over and over again. If I click on one of the links in any of the profiles…like “Topics Started” all is well. I get the users profile with a list of the topics they have started to the right of it.

It’s just the first link that has the problem. It looks like thte code is caught in an infinite loop that just keeps returning the users profile over and over again.

I’m wondering if it could be the bbpress.php file causing the problem. I thought I had the default version with a few things commented out. Here’s what I have:

<?php 
      get_header();
?>
	<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

		<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

			<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>

			<?php // include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/inc/meta.php' ); ?>

			<div class="entry">

				<?php the_content(); ?>

				<?php wp_link_pages(array('before' => 'Pages: ', 'next_or_number' => 'number')); ?>

			</div>

			<?php edit_post_link('Edit this entry.', '<p>', '</p>'); ?>

		</div>
		
		<?php // comments_template(); ?>

		<?php endwhile; endif; ?>

<?php //get_sidebar(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried to include a Soundcloud link inside a blog post?

If you use WordPress 3.5+ it should embed automatically, if it works on blog posts it should also work on topics.

If not try this Plugin.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/oembed-in-comments/

Comments + replies are almost the same.

Hi there
I being trying for a long time to enable users to post soundclouds players and show it on post and forums.
i couldnt make it anyway, i have latest wordpress version and bbpress, i also try with soundcloud shortcut plugin but it doesnt work
any idea how i can make it?

[Shmoo]

Just curious, because I think I made a mistake while expecting bbPress to work like WordPress.

I’ve made this setup.

View post on imgur.com

Titles: iPod, iPhone, iPad and iOS software are Category type forums. The lists (versions-/models) underneath each of those are Forums set as single Forum type grouped inside each cat.

Now I would like to design the single-forum view of all those single forums types (versions-/models) which should give me just a list of the last 25 topics in each forum.
Everything works just fine the only thing is I expected bbPress templates to work like WordPress.

single-forum.php (original)
single-forum-ipod.php
single-forum-37.php
single-forum-ipod-touch.php

This doesn’t work and now I have one little problem, If somebody clicks on iPod ( a category ) inside the Breadcrumbs navigation they end up on the same single.forum.php template while I customized it for the single forums type.

Short, I don’t like people to visit my ‘category forums page’ where they see just a list of forums inside that category. They already know whats inside that category because they just visited the forum-landing-page ( picture )

does anyone know what to name the bbPress language files?

I’ve already gotten Buddypress translated, but I can’t seem to get bbPress translated. I want my forum to be in Norwegian, like the rest of my site…

So, what I’ve done:

I downloaded the language files from glotpress. I then put the language files in wp-content/languages/bbPress/ and named them “bbpress-2.2.nb_NO.po” and “bbpress-2.2.nb_NO.mo”.

What am I doing wrong, is the nb_NO part wrong?

Im using:

Buddypress Version 1.7.2
bbPress Version 2.3.2
and I’m using the theme Engage

Thanks for any help on this 🙂

Michael

*EDIT*

I did the same thing for Buddypress before, and it worked.. I just realized though, that the buddypress translation does not work without the plugin Buddypress Translations. I might be wrong, but it doesn’t feel right that it doesn’t work without that plugin..?

i am testing the teknik-design plugin alongside members, user role editor and s2 member on a somewhat complex project and they all seem to be playing nice towether, i’ve tried several options to restrict bbpress forums AND the topics and replies they contain to a specific user role, the teknik-design plugin is the first thing i’ve found that so far seems to actually work 🙂

unless i am mistaken or it is a very recent development, s2member does NOT allow restricting bbpress posts and replies by parent forum role permissions, even w url restrictions as topic urls do not contain forum slug or similar

so w teknik, you would use members or URE to create a new role and apply the viewing permissions w members (w teknik installed and activated) and it should all work, leave the forum open and visible otherwise

you can use the user switching plugin to confirm it is all working as expected

teknik plugin author says he intends to make this not require separate members plugin and release it as stand alone wp directory plugin after a bit more testing, so anyone interested should encourage him to develop this further via the links in my first post 🙂

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!

[lmabe10]

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.

[Sam Rohn]

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!”

[saracup]

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!
