I’m having similar problems and still haven’t found the root cause. What I’m using in the mean time is redirect plugin:

Hello,
I would like if someone could please tell me all the things should I look for before going live with bbPress. For example security, integration, and recommended plugins.
Thanks,
PS: I am running bbpress 2.0.3 with WordPress 3.4.1
I have budget available if someone is willing to work on a fix this weekend!
Has anyone had success installing the bbPress Threaded Replies plugin with a non-default theme? I’ve copied over the templates, but there are some seious rendering problems that I don’t know how to start troubleshooting!
Wow there, it’s only been 8 hours. For all we know, every developer available could still be sound asleep. We’ve been getting daily RC releases based on users’ bug reports; I hardly think there’s any reason to complain.
BBpress Version 2.0.3
BuddyPress Version 1.5.6
I did a plugin check and it’s not a plugin. Strange because if I mention myself on a wall or activity page, it sends me a notification. Do it on bbpress forum and it doesn’t give me anything.
I have a WordPress (v 3.4.1) site with a custom theme. I have my permalinks set to %postname% and my navigation is hard coded with relative urls (<a href="about">About</a>)
I have installed bbpress (v 2.0.3) and everything works great until I try to leave the forum page. From the forum page, when I click on any link in the nav, it adds /forum to all my urls resulting in a 404 error.
In the bbpress settings I have unchecked the “Prefix your forum area with the Forum Base slug (Recommended)” option, and that did not fix it.
Any help would be appreciated as this site is due to a client by the end of today and I don’t want to use a different Forum plugin.
I had a phpBB forum that I was trying to migrate into my WordPress MU blog.
I used the bbConverter WP Plugin and found that when I tried to migrate the phpBB Forum it imported everything but the users.
So I thought I would do the migration in two stages.
1. Migrate phpBB forum to Standalone WP Blog (with bbPress Plugin obviously)
2. Move standalone WP Blog to MU WP Blog
Stage 1 worked fine so my issue (and question) is NOT with phpBB or bbConverter
Stage 2 however didn’t work, when I tried to import the WP backup into a blog in my MU set-up none of the users, forums, topic or replies would import.
So, is there an easier way of migrating a WP Blog using the bbPress plugin INTO a WP MU Blog ?
Cheers
David
Thank you for the response…I’m about to show you how clueless I am, but I’m learning…
To clarify, when I use the customize theme settings using the tool provided with this theme, it should also change for the bbPress forums. However, when I adjust this theme to its dark color option, the bbPress forum tables do not change – they keep white backgrounds, etc., although the font colors do change.
To fix this, since it’s all cosmetic/CSS, I’d copy bbPress’s CSS to my theme’s directory?
There, told ya I was clueless…

Why the heck dont the bbpress developers respond. I feel most of the time that they are asleep !
To my knowledge, bbPress 2.1 would not yet be integrated into BuddyPress groups, as indicated by this punted ticket. Yet in the settings of bbPress 2.1 RC3, there’s a BuddyPress heading, sub-titled “Forum settings for BuddyPress”.
It gives me the option to “Allow BuddyPress Groups to have their own forums”, as well as setting a parent forum for these group forums. I’ve tried playing around with these settings but they don’t seem to have any effect. Am I not understanding its intended use or is the functionality not actually present yet?
That’s fairly accurate.
You don’t have to create a child theme or any of that unless you want to customize the default bbPress theme (bbp-theme-compat). In that case just copy the files you want to customize into your WordPress theme directory and bbPress will use those instead.
You have both BuddyPress and bbPress installed/activated correct?
What version of BuddyPress/bbPress?
If I’m reading this correctly, it does like bbPress can put the posts in pending status.
Here is an Apache error log cranked up to debug level when it happened.
http://pastebin.com/gF23AQXy
/** Topic Moderation ******************************************************/
$post_status = bbp_get_public_status_id();
if ( !bbp_check_for_moderation( $anonymous_data, $topic_author, $topic_title, $topic_content ) )
$post_status = bbp_get_pending_status_id();
Does 2.1 RC2 remedy slowness issues on installations with more than a million posts?
I have to go to my bluehost control panel to delete the bbpress plugin and then I can access my dashboard again.
My wordpress account is new so there isn’t much on it. So would memory still be the problem? If so, how would I fix this?
Unfortunately I don’t have the expertise to make any improvements. I do have to ask though… would it be relatively easy to reverse the process to import starting with most recent posts first?
Even though I can continue, I’m still not able to import all of the bbpress standalone install.
Today I was able to sit for 4.5 hours straight and let it run doing 2000 rows at a time, and it made it to 196,000 (out of 361,000), but that’s it. Even though I can resume it, it seems that it “remembers” where it left off by manually checking, 2000 rows at a time, if it’s been done or not, so presumably it would require quite a bit of time at first to check, then resume, and I’m simply not able to stay at a computer long enough to accomplish it. Even disabling sleep on my computer and letting it run all night, it times out sometime overnight.
Any ideas how to get my recent posts? I’m considering making a backup of the database, then using phpmyadmin to manually delete anything more than a year old, then re-running the import tool. Would that work in theory?
Probably out of memory. Both bbPress and BuddyPress are large plugins. Loading up all that code takes resources that your host may not have. If you deactivate one ore the other, does everything come back up?
bbPress doesn’t put posts in pending status, for any reason.
Does this problem happen for all forums? Group forums? Can you narrow the issue down to something smaller and reproducible?
Thank you for reply,
After searching for 1 day. I think i should buy the complete template with include the bbpress, buddypress, etc.
I already have Buddypress installed on my wordpress theme. After I install bbpress, I can’t access my dashboard anymore. When I click on dashboard I get this message:
Server error
The website encountered an error while retrieving http://www.
. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.
How do I fix this?!
You’re welcome. I tried to clear it up a bit, and you’re right that it’s still a weird experience. If you have improvements, I’d love to see them.
Ahhh, thanks. I’ve been at this for a while, first using Tools > Import, then I installed the bbconverter standalone plugin, and that plugin made it seem like it was the other way around, despite the name “reset.”
This latest version makes it a bit clearer, but I was already “conditioned” by the old version. My fault. Thanks for the help.
I’ve disabled just about every plugin I can on the site except what I really need. I can load any other page on the site with no problems, but loading forum pages always spikes the server memory. And I’ve discovered that the reason I can’t allocate PHP memory even though I’m under the PHP limit is the server is running out of memory completely.
Each pageload of a bbPress page on my server is consuming a good 300-400MB by itself. With 2GB of memory, my server crashes when a few people hit it at once.
At this point I’m not sure I have much choice but to rip out bbPress and replace it with another forum solution.
BBpress claims buddypress integration with the BBpress 2 plugin. @mentions are supposed to give members notifications out of the box. It worked in the past but I have NO idea why it’s not working now.
