Hey guys,

i use bbpress 2.1.2 togehther with wp and bp. Until last week everything works fine, but since then the server response time for topics with more than 1 reply and for the bp-members-loop (so i`m not sure if it is a bbpress or bp issue or just an issue with my hoster) grown extremly on the first load.

Because there is just an issue with the server response, i think it is an sql issue, so im debugging the requests. Here is what i get:

Topic with 1 reply: Total query time: 0,33933s for 234 queries.
Topic with 3 replies: Total query time: 0,81064s for 269 queries.
Topic with 10 replies: Total query time: 1,56761s for 372 queries.
Topic with 243 replies: Total query time: 13,15631s for 744 queries.

Each page showing 20 replies. What`s going wrong here? 🙂 Are these counts of queries normal and it is just a issue with my hoster or is there something going wrong?

Some additional infos:

WP: 15000 posts
BP: 1400 Members
Topics: 520
Replies: 3400

SQL queries for homepage as reference: Total query time: 0,13822s for 272 queries.

Cheers @alexanderagn, works perfectly.

Hi

I have just set up a bbPress group forum in BuddyPress and am learning how it works. I have just noticed this visibility issue too. Any ideas anyone?

I have a 404 problem with pagination on topics archive pages, for both admins and non-admins. The first page display correctly, but get a 404 errors on subsequent pages:

`
/topics/page/2
/topics/page/3
`

I am using a custom `archive-topic.php` on my theme and using the following plugins on WordPress 3.5.1:

bbPress 2.2.4
BuddyPress 1.7-beta2
User Switching 0.7.1
WordPress Post Type Archive Links 1.1
WordPress SEO 1.4.4

I have disabled all plugins and switched the theme to TwentyTen with flushing rewrite rules on every steps with no success. I have also changed the permalink structure to default `?post_type=topic&paged=2` and still not working.

On my attempt to debug `$wp_query`, at the `pre_get_posts` action hook, everything looks OK:
`
[query] => Array
(
[paged] => 2
[post_type] => topic
)
…
[is_archive] => 1
…
[is_404] =>
`
However at `template_redirect` action, query looks like:
`
[query] => Array
(
[paged] => 2
[post_type] => topic
)
…
[is_archive] =>
…
[is_404] => 1
`

I only tried that with topics pagination, not forums or replies.

Thanks.

i have a page called /forum that has the shortcode to display the forum index. When I click on a item it will go to that post. In the breadcrumb there will be home->forums->post, clicking on /forums takes me not to /forum where my shortcode is located but to the hard coded thingy that is defined in the plugin setup? So I have to mess around with trying to make templates just to get it working with my theme, when it just seems that if you make use of shortcodes for the operation of the forum, it would be compatible with ALL themes more or less. Is that a correct assumption?

As it stands now, I don’t think I will be able to use this plugin because I do not have the time to workout all the different things just to make it work with my theme. I really should not be complaining for something that is free to the community and it is not to diminish the great work of the developers, this is not my intent. After fiddling for days trying to get this to work correctly, I just came to the conclusion that maybe it would be better if shortcodes where used exclusively for the functionality of the operations, then all of these sorts of problems should become non existing.

if I could have a page called /forums that would override the /forums settings defined in the plugin then that would work, but how can you tell wordpress to do this? I looked and tried different things, but it all becomes way more work then it seems it should be when a shortcode would do the trick. Any way, I am curious to know how other people are getting bbPress to work properly with their themes. I am open to suggestions, ideas and thoughts.

Oh, one thing I did was to setup a redirect from /forums to /forum (forum index shortcode) and that seems to be working so far. Not sure yet what side effects maybe lurking as a result. So far so good. But when I sit back and think about it, what keeps coming to mind is… why? Why should I even have to do something like this??

Thanks

If you create a forum, then move it to trash, delete it permanently, and finally create a new board with the same name, it always gives it an integer

No, I cannot reproduce this.

Also, I have noticed another glitch. If I were to rename the permalink to /leaflet/ and then I change my mind and rename it to something like /leaflet-forum/ and then I finally decide to go back to the original permalink, it adds an integer even though there is no other board with that name and I have just been fiddling with the same forum this entire time.

Again, I cannot reproduce this.

I even deactivated bbPress, removed it from WordPress, deleted the bbPress plugin folder with FileZilla, uploaded the newest bbPress, and all of my forums are still there somehow giving the same error. So, there is something keeping track of forums (even when you go to those lengths) and it doesn’t realize that particular forum has been deleted.

Even if you delete bbPress as you have ‘the data remains in the database’ and this is by design, if you want data deleted you must use bbPress (or a myPhpAdmin etc) to explicitly delete the data.

First thing go to your permalinks settings page and change your permalink settings, click save, then change them back to your original setting and save again. This should flush any of the rewrites going on with WordPress.

If it still doesn’t work try switching themes to Twenty Eleven’ and try again.

Nope. There was a forum named “leaflet” a while back, but I have since permanently deleted that board. And I have repeated this particular error several times. If you create a forum, then move it to trash, delete it permanently, and finally create a new board with the same name, it always gives it an integer, as if the previous board still exists. I even deactivated bbPress, removed it from WordPress, deleted the bbPress plugin folder with FileZilla, uploaded the newest bbPress, and all of my forums are still there somehow giving the same error. So, there is something keeping track of forums (even when you go to those lengths) and it doesn’t realize that particular forum has been deleted. Also, I have noticed another glitch. If I were to rename the permalink to `/leaflet/` and then I change my mind and rename it to something like `/leaflet-forum/` and then I finally decide to go back to the original permalink, it adds an integer even though there is no other board with that name and I have just been fiddling with the same forum this entire time. Very frustrating.

So I’ve searched and searched and haven’t found anything that’ll allow my logged is users to choose from a drop down option that they can post as their user name or as anonymous. I would like this option to be available site-wide but if that’s not possible to accomplish through BuddyPress and just bbPress in the forums and groups then I’m fine with that as well. I’m willing to make this work in one way or many.

[Stephen Edgar]

Thanks, these types of deeper permissions will come in future versions of bbPress & BuddyPress.

Does bbPress no longer support Anonymous posting? I have WP 3.5.1 BP 1.6.4 and bbPress 2.2.4 installed and I don’t see anywhere on the dashboard that allows for Anonymous posting.

[Bas3008]

Hello,

when I set someone to forum role ‘moderator’, he’s displayed as ‘Super-Administrator’ on his profile and in the forum.
Why is that? I haven’t done any changes at the bbpress installation.

Wordpress: 3.5.1
BBPress:  2.2.4

Thanks in advance for any advices!

I don’t really know what this issue is called. I created several forums here and, for some odd reason, when I generate a new forum, it gives me a permalink with the name of the forum plus a number, like so: http://www.happynakedpeople.co/forums/forum/leaflet-2/. There is no other forum named Leaflet and I would like the permalink to be as clean as possible. When I try to change the permalink to just `/leaflet/` it defaults back to `/leaflet-2/`. Why is this?

I am using WordPress 3.5.1, bbPress 2.2.4, and my theme is built around Starkers 4.0.

Sorry- I didn’t see your reply earlier
Yes the BBpress widgets work nicely.
The issue is that I want to decide which widget shows on which page.
I have tried numerous widgets and when the forum pages show, they are all messed up. They fill in with the forums only all scrunched together.

I’ve als tried putting the shortcode in a page and that has helped when assigning widgets except for when on the “forums” part of the breadcrumb after entering a board. It goes crazy.
sitename/forums/etc

I found one custom widget plugin that makes a widget “drag and drop” page in the editor for each page and post editor area but the person that will be using this will have a difficult time using it. When using that plugin if I make all the forum widgets to be the default setup and just add/subtract widgets per page – it won’t show the craziness.

I don’t think I can describe this any better. It just looks like craziness and it isn’t in the forum widgets… The forum contents fill up any available widget on the sidebar even if the widget isn’t “assigned” to the forum and it is only when following the breadcrumbs AFTER being in a board.

Looks like it will add many things I don’t need.

I am surprised wordpress\bbpress\s2member doesn’t have a plugin to shut down a site based on users time zone.

Wordpress has a plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/use-clients-time-zone/

this one picks up users time zone from their ip.

I was not able to find a plugin that will shut down a site based on the time of day?

I am looking to make my site unavailable from 10pm-6am for any user, no matter which time zone they are in.

Layed in some dirt today and came up with:

Thank you for creating bbpress.

I created a forum with bbpress.  I created many categories, forums, and topics.

question: How do I make the forums and topics static at their current position?

[BigEfromDaBx]

Never mind. I found this in another post. Going to try it out.

Dear Support-Team!

I use WP 3.5.1 with BP 1.6.5 and bbPress 2.2.4

I just started the Forum integration with WP and BP – everything works fine. Coming to my issue.

1. I tested a user, registered in WP/BP as subscriber. I think this is standard. The same user gets the role for bbPress as participant. That’s standard too.

2. My test user started in BP a hidden group, so he’s the admin of this group. He activated the bbPress forum function for his own hidden group. Although he’s the admin of the BP group he cannot start writing any forum article because he hasn’t the rights for it. It’s only allowed to answer to articles other user made.

My suggestion is. That groups with its own forum, started by one person as admin, should have just the rights for this area. I see that bbPress rights are given for all forums in BP. But this isn’t fine because user should act more locally in their groups.

Note:
If I start a group as admin in Facebook maybe, I’ve just control over this group and not over all other Facebook groups (explanation just for a better understanding).

Is there any way to change this?

Thank you for support

Best Regards,
Thorsten

It seems the focus on member roles has taken away from the structure of the forums made with bbpress.  It would make sense to me to develop forum structure and information availability.

This could be accomplished by having the ability to create a forum and lock the locations of topics.  By code and visually as they appear on the site.

I think limiting ability to make topics or replies for each each individual post when created by admin, would develop forum content more efficiently than limiting abilities for individual users.

In other words.  Rather than limiting abilities by access level.  Is there currently a way to lock forums and topics the way they are?

In other words.  When I develop the forum as an administrator, can I limit the ability of all users to contribute to those posts?

I think a more even balance can be achieved, between content contributed by admin, and relevant information contributed by users, if the admin can limit users ability to alter the structure of the forum.

[Anonsetowarzyskie]

I switched from phpBB to bbPress recently thanks very much in part to a script found in these forums.

Now, many of the existing posts contain links to each other in the old phpBB format /topic.php?t=123. Since the topic IDs have stayed the same in the conversion process, I’d like to use ModRewrite to automatically redirect to the new /topic/123 URL scheme. I’ve tried the following in my .htaccess, but it doesn’t appear to work. (Admittedly, my knowledge of ModRewrite is shaky at best.)

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/forums/viewtopic.php?t=([0-9]+)$
/forums/topic/$1 [R]

(In the real code there isn’t a linebreak on the second line.)

Does anyone have any advice?

[missharvey]

hello,

i get the same problem with my theme: Fatal error: Call to undefined function bbp_get_forum_parent() in /homepages/15/d283273997/htdocs/womanation/wp-content/themes/localnews/functions/breadcrumb-trail.php on line 261

i did not understand how to fix it from what you said John James, is there anything I can do?

[Unsal Korkmaz]

Sorry for people that waiting, passed 7+ days from approved but theme is still waiting for WordPress.Org publish.  Its probably my fault that i released some newer versions before it gets published. I cant give a date but at least theme will be in WordPress.Org soon.

Meanwhile you can check my example child-theme: http://theme.firmasite.com/example.zip
This theme;

• adds Flatstrap custom style to theme style list
• selects it automatically
• removing default default bootstrap style from list.

You can edit this child-theme however you want 🙂

[Maxaud]

I allow the BuddyPress groups on my WordPress to create forums however for every group that gets created I get another forum added to my bbPress page (mydomain.com/forums/).

How do I hide the forums from individual groups on the main forums page?

Note: all these forums are children of a “Group Forum” category.

Thank you!

Hi fontadoni

I thought it was the latest version of bbpress. It was on softalicious. No problem, I shall download the latest version from these site.
