I just checked on my site and in Firebugs net panel it does not show that it is loading bbpress from the plugin folder?

It shows that it is being loaded from my theme directory.

These steps may be incorrect but this is what I did.

1) I copied across bbp-theme-compat to my wordpress theme folder.
2) I deleted the bbp-theme-compat from the bbpress plugin (this was probably not the thing to do!).

Everything is working fine for me though?

[Lynq]

I copied across bbp-theme-compat to my wordpress theme folder and then bbpress automatically picked up my files.

Is your bbpress-functions.php file located inside your theme directory aswell?

Bumping this to the top. Blake from DriveNet Consulting took on the project and produced absolutely nothing after over a month and a lot of apparent bluffing.

Who here has experience creating or modifying/adapting bbpress themes for the PLUGIN version of bbpress for WordPress?

Thanks

[Clay]

I did the following today:

• Install a fresh version of wordpress and bbpress plugin.

• Copy all files (except style.css) from …/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten to my child theme folder

• Modify bbpress-functions.php to include add_theme_support( 'bbpress' );

bbpress is still using the bbpress.css file from wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/css

I’ve been tinkering with it for hours and I cannot get it to start using my child theme’s css files by default. They properties always are overwritten by the bbpress.css file in the plugins folder.

Ideas?

Hi John James Jacoby

I tried your suggestion with no luck. I experience this issue on a second website as well. Could it be any database configuration settings that is causing this?

Thank You

[John James Jacoby]

No idea. It’s a bug in the converter from the sounds of things, but I haven’t looked into it.

Try bumping the converter start (_bbp_converter_start) up 1 or 2, and see if it continues on.

[John James Jacoby]

I’ll get right on that copy then 🙂

With great power comes great responsibility.

[Erlend]

I’ll get right on that copy then 😉

[John James Jacoby]

🙂 Eventually. Not *quite* there yet. Need to fill in some copy here first, migrate the codex, etc…

Hi netweb

Thank you for replying.

There is no need to check the ‘_bbp_converter_query’ to get the topic_id range since this is shown in the Forums page where the conversion hangs. But I did that for confirmation. So I removed any funky characters,etc from that range and still I cannot get it to pass that range.

Any other ideas?

Thank You

[Stephen Edgar]

In the WordPress database’s ‘_options’ table there should be a field ‘_bbp_converter_query’ and this stores the last executed SQL query that the converter used. Have a look at this query to determine the topic id range and then open up your bbPress 1 database and the ‘_topics’ table to look at the ‘topic_id’ range that the converter is getting stuck at and see if the appears to be any bad/funky/broken data in those topics that could be causing the converter to terminate.

[Erlend]

bump! 2.1 is out, along with a brand spanking new bbpress.org. If there ever was a time to introduce the WordPress community at large to bbPress this would be it 🙂

[Erlend]

Loving it!

Some “could be nice”s:

Frontpage: I think the 1-3 latest blog posts ought to be shown prominently somewhere on the front page.

Forum: Have you considered using the excellent WP Markdown plugin for this forum? I find it to be a really clever, future-proof alternative to bbcode.

John, a trac ticket has been submitted here: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1896

[John James Jacoby]

That’s annoying. Can you create a trac ticket over on bbpress.trac.wordpress.org, and I’ll check it out for 2.1.1?

[John James Jacoby]

If bbporg_ is in the twentyten theme, that’s me being an idiot; and I’ll have to fix it in 2.1.1. Can you create a trac ticket over at bbpress.trac.wordpress.org, and I’ll take a look into this more?

Oops, the code got parsed funky. Basically, I’m using a variation of the code on this page: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/fetch_feed

[John James Jacoby]

That’s a bit odd, since that’s a core WordPress WP_Query method.

Can you confirm that your update went smoothly? Maybe try reinstalling bbPress manually.

Also, what theme are you using? It’s possible there’s a conflict, or something else weird is going on.

Thanks for helping.

Hi guys

Just to add to my latest reply above, I started a conversion with row limis = 100 and delay time = 1 and it was succesfull up to the lines 700-799. The conversion cannot pass that point. Whatever I do. It hangs always at 799.

Thank You

[markusbb]

Hi guys

I found the last query as @John James Jacob pointed out. However, I do not think that this is the issue. As I decrease the “Rows Limit” the conversion goes further one more step. I mean it will proceed one more conversion step and then hang. For instance, having “Row Limits” set to 10 it passed the “Converting topics (780 – 789)” but it hanged at “Converting topics (790 – 799)”. Before this, I set the “Row Limits” to 25, again the conversion executed one more conversion step than when the “Row Limits” set to 50.

I have no idea how to troubleshoot this. Any ideas?

Thank You

My two cents worth … bearing in mind that I don’t actually use bbPress at the moment so this is all theoretical, so treat my opinion accordingly …

I migrated a site with around 250,000 posts a while back, and the only thing I had trouble with was the import script timing out, but that’s an easily fixable bottleneck.

I think the main problem you might stumble across, is that WordPress isn’t that good at handling dynamic content IMO and so the server load may become a problem with lots of activity on your forum. Most sites are static, therefore you can cache the heck out of them, forums not so much.

Personally, I’d still use bbPress even for a fairly large forum though. I know WordPress better than anything else, and so I’d be more comfortable scaling bbPress to high traffic volumes than I would any other platform. My suspicion is that many other dedicated forum packages could theoretically handle a lot more load though, since they’re (theoretically) architected to handle dynamic content better than WordPress.

PS: Kudos to whoever’s been working on this site in the past 12 months. I haven’t been here in a while and it sure does look a lot better 🙂

Hi John James Jacoby

Thank you for your reply and help.

I will look into this and get back to you with feedback.

Thank You

[John James Jacoby]

@markusbb – I experienced this twice while converting bbPress.org over last night. I considered it a fluke, since it was with over 100k post entries.

In your wp_options table, should be an entry with the key ‘_bbp_converter_query’. It will indicate what the last attempted converter query is, which will narrow down the scope of your search to figure out what may have gone wrong.

Apologies that you’re having trouble, and we’d like to get whatever is wrong fixed up for the next release.

[markusbb]

Hi guys

Thank you for your replies.

I started the conversion however it hangs at a “Converting topics (300 – 599)” point. I restarted the conversion and still the same. Any ideas why this might happening?

Thank You
