I had noticed awhile back that logging into the admin side of my WPMS site was real slow. Today I had time to spend turning plugins on and off. After disabling bbpress I was back to normal. Any other reports of slow loading? Is this being addressed?

Thanks!

I have visit your links and you did have the problem.

Can you resave permalinks for both bbPress forums and WordPress, and try again.

Hi, I’m thinking about converting a vBulletin forum over to bbPress and have a few questions I hope someone can help with.

1 – Are there any anti-spam measures on sign-up? (I just had to enter an email address to register here)

2 – Do you have to have wordpress already installed? (I was thinking of testing bbPress by itself first)

3 – When you have wordpress installed, can it load in ‘latest posts from the forum’ in wordpress pages? Such as on category listing pages or actual blog posts.

4 – Is bbPress server efficient? vB has always been good on that front.

5 – Is it easy to customise? The style I will want to port over is at http://www.gameslurp.com

6 – Does bbPress track unread/new posts? So any new posts can be shown in bold on the forum listing page if they contain new posts since the last visit/page refresh?

Think that’s it for now – any input from people who have converted a vB forum would be great appreciated too.

I am also very much concerned about this. I run a WordPress site with almost 1000 users that is integrated with standalone bbPress 1.0.2 forum and everything is working just fine, so if anything went wrong with the migration to bbPress 2.x it would be a disaster. Is there a guaranteed safe way to do this? Or, if something goes wrong, how to undo the changes?

Hello, I would like some feedback on a small issue I have been having where when the user submits their registration they are not notified that their form has been submitted successfully, rather the same page just reloads.

The data is submitted fine so the user gets an email. But I am not sure where to start with actually telling them that everything went right, or redirecting to a different page saying that their registration has been received and they should check their email.

I am using the latest version of wordpress and bbpress Plugin. The rest of the theme works fine, I am not using 2011, and have followed the instructions for turning my custom theme into a bbpress compatible theme. Just having this one issue now.

Thanks

What I want to do is have a few forums with different visibility and use functions. The problem is that every way I have found how to do this thus far requires me editing the user’s role, which is not what I want to do. This will quickly become too bloated for me. I would rather use some other kind of meta information.

The main reason is because I will something akin to the following:

-Most of the forums (100% visible to all members and public; only members may post)

-Special Forum (100% visible to all members and public; only SOME members may post)

-Restricted Completely Forum (0% visible to public and general members; SOME members may see and post)

It is important to mention that the members who can see the restricted areas are not necessarily admins or moderators. Also we use WP for all kinds of things aside from just bbPress and I heavily use User Role Editor already. I have, for example, two users who have a special role that allows them to edit items in the store. One of these users will eventually have access to the restricted forum; the other will not and will have no idea it exists. Neither of these users are moderators or admins on the fourm. You can see how at this point relying on user roles to accomplish this task is unrealistic.

What I wouldn’t mind doing is some kind of meta way of doing this. I have a few ideas but I wanted to ask if anybody else has done this or knows of a way to potentially do this before I start mucking around and potentially breaking things.

Thank you!

I’m a php developer who wants to use WordPress and bbPress to create a forum. Where can I get a complete documentation of bbPress ? Is there a book of bbPress ?

What I want is to personalize bbPress. For example, I want to show all posts, with a function to filter by user, area, etc… Is this possible ?

thank you.

I have already installed the bbPress on my wordpress. But I saw that the theme of my blog was not the appropriate forum and was very disorganized with the same (www.nosnagravata.com/forum/) and would like to know how to install a bbPress theme that I downloaded to my computer and put wordpress in it without messing with my blog theme (www.nosnagravata.com).

I merely wish to change the theme of the forum and not the entire blog (www.nosnagravata.com), as it has? Please if you could explain to me?

[Hedgehog84]

Bump!

If my question is not clear, please let me know.

I’m running the latest version of both WordPress and bbPress (3.3.1 & 2.0.2).

[Feesir]

I guess there isn’t really too much wrong with my forum, but it just doesn’t seem to look as good as it could. You can see it here: http://masternate.us/forums/forum/baseball-pros-academy/ Does anyone have any tips for how to make it look better?

Maybe so the topics aren’t right up against the edge, or a way to make the icon next to the username not pop out of line like it does? Thank you.

Hi everybody,

I just converted my phpbb3 forum to bbPress with these details:

topics: 1.290

posts: 25.800

members: 7.960

Now the really annoying part comes up. Anaylzing the source code with firebug I discovered the reason for the slow performance: There are too much queries executed! I disabled all plugins and removed all widgets (using bp-default together with bbpress / buddyPress). Still the amount of queries executed rises from 60 to 222 executions (forum view / topic index / reply) taking up to 3 seconds to execute.

I just went over to testbp.org/discussion and annalyzed the code seeing:

<i><!– Generated in 1.506 seconds. (184 q) –></i>

So looks like a normal behaviour. Tried also w3totalcache and that works fine for logged-out users but once I enable w3totalcache for logged-in users then I get strange outputs.

Does anyone have experience with a forum in the size stated above? It looks like I need to get a fully cached bbpress working to consider switching to bbpress but after spending days of work to convert and design the new website I am afraid that I will get stuck now.

If someone here has experience then please give me a shout! I really would like to use the wp / bbpress / buddypress combo but the slow performance won’t let me use it for now.

I start believe in bbPress when the 2.0 release and I do understand that it need time to be mature but now it already satisfy my need.

As core forum plugin, it does great platform and now I just wait for another plugins that able to make bbPress stand from the others.

[Themes Community]

First you should disable all plugins manually using cpanel, just rename your ‘plugins’ folder into ‘plugins2’ then you should be able to enter the wp admin.

After browse to plugins page, you will see lots of errors because of no plugins located. Then rename your ‘plugins2’ from cpanel into ‘plugins’ again and try activate a plugin one by one to figure what the culprit.

[Themes Community]

First, forget any previous custom yet nice looking bbpress themes since it not usable anymore. It for bbPress 1.x

As Anoited said now bbPress (2.x) is using your own active WordPress theme and can merge with built-ed styles and layout of bbPress. You can find it at /plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten

You can try temporary switch your active theme to Twenty Ten to figure out what the forum will be. Then you can use your wp theme as your bbPress theme with some modifications.

[Themes Community]

Can you describe more…

Are you asking how to install WordPress or

How to integrate bbPress or

How to merge a bbpress theme into wp theme?

[Toothbrush]

I am using bbPress as a WordPress plugin, and I found it doesn’t fit well on my Android phone or iPod screens. Well, forum menu is crashed and topic-creating forms looks weird and so on.

It would maybe a templates problem, I guess.

How do I fix this issue? Is there any WordPress plugins or themes that solve this?

[karinecc]

Hello!

I downloaded the theme of bbPress for my PC. However, I do not know how I should proceed. Please could you tell me what I do to install the wordpress and can integrate it?

Thanks

not really a theme compatibility issue, but bbpress post toolbar plugin does not function with bbpress 2.1, nor does bbpress qoutes, just something for the plugin authors to think about.

[viktor89]

No issues with 2.1 on my site – and the approach is much better Just saved me weeks of work – and i’m using it on a live site against recommendations (watch out, we have a bad ass over here)

[aravoth2011]

@anointed

Hadn’t thought about any of that actually. I suppose a person could choose what existing forum to put the posts in, make replies anonymous temporarily on bbpress when doing the conversion, so that you could post comments as replies without having to register anyone.

Mostly I think the most important thing to transfer over would be to have the topic itself.

Not sure how much a demand for this there would be though, I know I’m not the only one who is looking for a way to do this though. I’m hoping to use bbpress in such a way that it replaces the blogging function entirely, so hopefully i can figure this out.

I think there might be a way to do it actually. I thought I saw something once upon a time that converted wordpress posts into bbpress topics for the standalone version. I guess once you convert to the standalone you could then convert it yet again to the plugin version.

I’ll give it a shot and see what happens.

[aravoth2011]

what theme are you using?

[The 12th Doctor]

Is there any idea when a Xenforo convert will be included?

Thanks
