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!

Hi,

I recently helped a client convert a large forum from bbpress1 to bbpress2 — about 250,000 topics and replies. The performance difference is really disappointing. It affects the whole site.

Definitely moving the dependence on the _bbp_last_active_time meta would make a huge difference. That join shows up everywhere in our slow query logs.

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!

Here’s my bbPress integration:

http://www.itinerantangler.com/blog/board/forums/

Only problem is the queries are running a bit slow right now. I posted about that in Troubleshooting.

I successfully transferred a 75k post board from Yabb 2.3 –> YaBB 2.4 –> SMF 1.4 –> phpBB3 –> bbPress. I’m kinda proud of that. It took a LOT of work.

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.

Thanks Jared – I very much appreciate the link. Works like a charm! 🙂

Minor issue with the code: it is missing “function” in front of the “ja_filter_bbpress_allowed_tags” definition.

[Jared Atchison]

If you need to alter the tags allowed, see this code snippet:

Modify/change the default allowed tags for bbPress

That should get you started.

[Jared Atchison]

Note that any modifications you make to bbPress core files will be deleted next time you upgrade.

Hi,

is there any chance to migrate data (at least users) from SMF to bbPress? All infos I found about it seem to be older and I hope it´s possible now.

Cheers
Michael

hello
I want to create forum with membership but I am wondering what plugin is consistent with bbpress. I’m worried about the name of data is different in MY SQL if I don’t choose correct plugin membership.
thanks

This post may or may not help you

[Jared Atchison]

@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.

I’ve added the bbpress Recent Topics as a footer widget in my website. I have adapted the layout fairly well to fit with the theme but I need to hide the text author name but keep the avatar. Better still have the avatar separate to the text so I can position them precisely using css.

I’ve taken a look at the ‘Editing widgets.php’ and edited to a degree but I need a little more guidance to accomplish the above.

[Hansaplastique]

Thanks for your response Jared … I don’t mind the change, just would like to know the recommended way to change the allowed tags without having to modify the bbPress files … 🙂

For example;
I allow registered users to place smileys in their text. The smileys are IMG’s with a particular class – the class however will be removed unless I give the user unfiltered HTML.
I trust my users, but just not THAT much 🙂

[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

I’ve installed bbpress but i keep receiving this message: You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.

If i look at users, i see: My Name – Administrator- (forum role) keymaster

If i go to plugins/installed plugins and go 2 bbPress settings (cause there is no forum option in the tabs or settings) i get: You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.

What can i do, 2 make use of this forum…?

[Hardeep Asrani]

Where to find following in my bbpress??:

<?php bb_profile_data(); ?>

[redknite]

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!

Hi there, I just upgraded my theme and bbPress (from old to current versions,) and after hours of reconfiguring, I have nearly everything in place. Except…

On my Forums page (http://www.trianglezclub.com/forums/), I’m using the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] to display the list, and for some reason there’s a weird search box appearing above everything on that page.

[bbp-forum-index] is the only thing I have in the editor for that page.

Thanks for any help!

[Rami]

Hello guys,

WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO 🙂
=======================

Add facebook/twitter buttons in the [bbp-topic-index] (for each topic in the table) and then in the topic itself (when you are reading the topic, let’s say above the title)

WHAT I TRIED WITH NO SUCCESS 🙁
============================

e.g. I embedded the facebook in loop-topics.php (quite don’t remember the file name, it’s the one doing the topics index) and the buttons are correctly positioned for each topic, but the TOPIC SHOWS THE PAGE SOCIAL COUNT, in other words, each topic in the index shows the same count, the page count.

HELP! – hooks? guides? example?
================================

I read in other post (tags jetpack social?) a mention from John (bbPress) about hooking bbp_get_topic_content and bbp_get_reply_content, I have no idea what does hook mean. Has anybody implemented social buttons or could guide us on what to explore to do it ourselves?

That would be amazing for many.

cheers
Ramiro.

Hi. Same deal, here.
– Uninstalled BB, but roles still showing in db wp_usermeta ‘capabilities’.
Thus, Admin ‘does not have sufficient user permissions’ to use the Dashboard. (Ugg!)
Setting capabilities to:
a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;b:1;}
does NOT solve the problem.
How to uninstall these bbpress cabilities?

[deltachi78]

bbPress and Simple Local Avatars were the only ones activated, though, btw.

[deltachi78]

Plugins I have installed are: Hello Dolly, bbPress, Simple Local Avatars, and Akismet. Now that you mention it, I installed Simple Local Avatars after the forum. I’ll try deactivating these and see what happens.

[Harryhor]

Same Problem with me

I want to add an extra field to the bbPress registration form but i’m unable to do. can any one help to me on it.
