Hey JJJ, I’ve just checked the user_nicename within the database and this is formatted the same i.e. “FirstName LastName” including the space.

This user was created manually initially (and the user profile worked). Since then I have installed a commercial membership plugin that may have had its hand at work here (although it really shouldn’t have).

I’ve done some further testing and have been able to see that the user_nicename formatting is changed when using a update function of the membership plugin. This is obviously the cause of the issue here.

Is there anywhere that the expected formatting of the user_nicename property is detailed so that I can refer the plugin author to it? Seems the fault lies with their coding.

Thanks for your input & help!

[John James Jacoby]

Seems like a bug with the generating of the actual link. User profile links should be using the user_nicename, which is a sanitized version of the user_login.

Can you confirm what the user_nicename is for the user you’re seeing this issue with? Do you have any other plugins responsible for creating users (Facebook, Twitter) that might not be obeying the expected formatting of user_nicename?

Does anyone know of a plugin or similar for a universal search across the BuddyPress and bbPress portions of my site?

I have been looking around and found some hacks for WordPress / BuddyPress, but nothing for BuddyPress / bbPress.

[John James Jacoby]

That’s new information.

If you’re linking between domains on the same IP, chances are the traffic is just natural traffic. Any correlation between these hits and legitimate views? Any stats or analytics you can use to see if it something server side is pinging or tracking back?

I just installed bbpress to my site, and when I am logged out, I can’t add topics or comment, or participate. How do users create profiles, and login to the forum?

Am I missing something very obvious?

[Steve]

I turned off every single plugin and it still does it – so its something in the core of bbpress 1.1

[mdoll]

yeah it was do the the theme. pick a theme thats more compatible with bb press

[Steve]

Turned off all the plug-ins apart from support forums and it still did it. It doesn’t do it if the zip file is located on the same domain as the BBPress install.

pimarts: I really need your help in understanding if there is a documentation on how you did it or if you could provide me more assistance directly, that would be great as well.

kangenguru: When I did it using your technique, I had issues the BBPress plugin did not have the bb-config.php, so I used the bb-config that is within the buddypress. Hence, I couldnt get the bb-press 2.0 to work. But again when I did it with what is built into buddypress itself, all the files and folders showed up like they were missing.

I am not saying that integrating buddyPress+BBPress is bad, but all I am saying is that I did not know how to work with this issue (could be the lack of knowledge). If anyone could help, that would be awesome.

PS: please do not ask me to google for the documents… I have googled for the past 3 weeks and found several solutions and most of them did not work in my situation. So any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

We’ve got a really big bbPress forum running at http://realmadridcf.nl.

At some point though, the site crashed because of heavy query. After some inspection of the SQL slow query log, we found out that it was this query:

# Query_time: 2.798700 Lock_time: 0.000138 Rows_sent: 5 Rows_examined:

366600

SET timestamp=1321347478;

SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS wpecs_posts.* FROM wpecs_posts INNER JOIN

wpecs_postmeta ON (wpecs_posts.ID = wpecs_postmeta.post_id) WHERE 1=1

AND wpecs_posts.post_type IN ('topic', 'reply') AND

(wpecs_posts.post_status = 'publish' OR wpecs_posts.post_status =

'closed') AND ( (wpecs_postmeta.meta_key = '_bbp_forum_id' AND

CAST(wpecs_postmeta.meta_value AS CHAR) NOT IN

('8365804','8558913','8558914','8561009','8561010','187','8365804')) )

GROUP BY wpecs_posts.ID ORDER BY wpecs_posts.post_date DESC LIMIT 0, 5;

You can see that this query is obviously way too heavy: Rows_sent: 5 Rows_examined:

366600…

After some examination we found out that the query was made through bbp_forum_functions.php – line 923 – function bbp_pre_get_posts_exclude_forums.

Has this problem ever occurred before? Is there someone with a solution?

Regards,

Tommy

The forums were imported about a week ago from the bbPress integrated into BuddyPress 1.2.9. Maybe it’s important that I used bbConverter 1.1 for the import.

[jshe58]

Great this plugin surpasses my imagination about what bbpress can be use. Thanks.

[sinn]

I think it related to the WP theme and its styles.

Can you more specific, I new user too and eager to find known problems and try to solving it as my path knowing more about bbPress.

[WhiteRau]

as you like. my blogs and forums are all working. no need to be offended! i just found that after reading this thread *most* people’s questions came from not reading the sticky all the way through. and you are correct: the sticky doesn’t mention merging files. i read that elsewhere (i’ll try and recall where). does it matter? regardless: what i outlined works.

as for duplicates, they override eachother. there’s duplication, overriding and modifying all over the place in WordPress and bbPress. this is nothing new. all that matters is precedence at the end of the day.

nitpicking is pointless and unhelpful. take it or leave it. don’t really care. all i’m interested in is helping people sort this out. my way works. end of story. if you can indeed write a new plugin, then by all means give ‘er! yours might be the halcyon we’ve all been hoping for! that’s the beauty of all this stuff!

WR!

[Ebenue]

Can it be modified using htaccess? I still want more shorten url.

[Crisium]

@WhiteRau

you are way off with your comment about “just follow what the sticky comment says”

you meaning yourself are merging… nowhere does it state that we should merge.. that is a big difference

and you are having duplicate files and functions… wtf?

I have given up on this plugin!… I can write a new one faster than getting this one to work.

[johnsona]

Thinking to start new forum and testing it within my local server but found this modification trouble also, can anyone provide solution.

So my forum and site will go alive soon. thanks!

[WhiteRau]

okay. this is an addendum to my previous post, something was nagging at me and it has to do with the way bbPress’ functions enqueue the stylesheets.

you are going to have problems. i forgot a CRITICAL MODIFICATION. and it may ONLY apply to CHILD THEMES. i haven’t finished testing it on standalone themes, but put it in your watch folder…

if you look at the bbPress’ functions, near the middle, there is a section that enqueues stylesheets. i’m not sure why this is there because, in essence, it COMPLETELY OVERRIDES any style changes you make to your child theme’s CSS. what it does is load ANOTHER copy of the parent-style’s stylesheet with a version number tacked on. this forces a precedence over your own style.css, essentially making the newly loaded CSS sheet last-defined. and we know what that means.

so. the fix:

1) find this line in your functions.php file (the one you have the merged bbPress functions.php code in):

wp_enqueue_style( ‘twentyten’, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/style.css’, ”, $this->version, ‘screen’ );

it’s on line 149 of the original functions(2).php file from my post above, so to make it easy to find, you can do some quick math to find the relevant line number in your (merged) functions.php file. (hope that made sense…)

2) comment it out by simply adding ‘//’ in front of it.

3) reload. your style.css sheet will now be dominant and the css/bbPress.css file will act in a better support role, as it should.

i understand the long-view logic of why this function does what it does, but at a non-galaxy-class-developer level, it makes for massive headaches… and you still have the fun headaches with the bbPress tags…

hope this was also useful. it will save you going bald.

WR!

i got mine working almost without effort. i literally read the sticky at the top of this thread and it worked.

a couple of things to note, that people are stumbling over:

1) READ THE STICKY. don’t peruse it. READ IT.

2) the sticky actually says the same thing twice. COPY the CONTENTS of wp-contentpluginsbbpressbbp-themesbbp-twentyten to YOUR theme’s folder, whether it be a child theme or not. in my case the path was wp-contentthemesSuperTurboTheme.

3) it’ll ask it you want to overwrite ‘style.css’. don’t. just let the OS rename it to ‘style(2).css’.

4) ditto for the ‘functions.php’ file. it should, temporarily, be ‘functions(2).php.

5) MERGE the two functions.php files. i just copy/pasted everything from ‘functions(2).php’ to the bottom of the ‘functions.php’ file. just like in the sticky. i didn’t merge the ‘style.css’ and ‘style(2).css’ files. but i DID make sure the ‘Tags:’ line in my ‘style.css’ file included ‘bbPress’ as the first item, just to be sure. it was an old requirement that doesn’t seem to have been deprecated anywhere and i’m a belt-n-suspenders boy…

6) at the very top of your newly expanded ‘functions.php’ file, add the line ‘add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ );’ to the very top. just like in the sticky. EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A SIMILAR LINE IN the bbPress’ functions.php file, YOUR functions.php file MUST HAVE THIS LINE as well. EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE MERGED.

7) reload.

don’t get clever. don’t reinvent. don’t assume anything. just follow the steps and you should be fine.

your only challenge now is figuring out how to do your CSS. the ‘style.css’ will control the WordPress portion of the site. it CAN handle the bbPress styling as well, but i prefer to leave it to bbPress.css (located in the ‘css’ folder you copied over) to handle the forum styles. its a bit of a headache sorting out the bevy of tags that get generates, but hey, it works. and i DO mean headache.

not to beat a dead horse, but the real challenge IS sorting out the secondary CSS. i recommend Firebug to help you drill down the the styles. the byzantine class structure can make your head spin. try using the elements that are relatively easy to spot. and REMEMBER THIS: NOT ALL CLASSES ARE IN THE STYLESHEET. this can really toss a wrench into things. they are added for future slice-n-dice, but seems overkill to me. low-order CSS has proved easier for me. i can’t foresee a reason to slice the site up so finely…but it’s futureproofed to the wheel-wells!

good luck. hope this was useful. i apologize if i missed anything. i tried to be thorough AND simple.

feel free to correct me if i stepped wrong somewhere. this is what worked to me.

WR!

[WhiteRau]

niiiice. you could also check out s2Member plugin, but this is just plain slick.

i’m sure we’ll be seeing an update soon that will asplode everything we’ve done so far, but until then, very cool workaround.

WR!

[WhiteRau]

i suspected this might be the case when i went and updated everything in the following order:

WP

theme

bbpress

plugins

and, like you @mesayre, my PHP chops aren’t quite up to the task of forcing a load order. would seem like a core-functionality issue that needs to be addressed quickly.

glad to hear i’m not the only poor bastard popping eyeballs at this one.

thanks for the pointers. i wish us all a communal good-luck and hope the higher ups see this and implement a fix for us all. to them: if i can help, let me know.

WR!

I’m looking to get the same setup as this here forum. I can’t figure out how you get your topics to show as the main content on your “forums” page. If your page slug is set to “forums”, and you have your bbPress slugs set to “forums”, then bbPress reads it as the forum-archives page, isn’t that right?

In that case, I’d have to make the forum-archives php file into a topics archive (then use the forums list widget for the sidebar).

And then, once you get the topics to show up on the “forums” page, you have a “Forums” sidebar on the left with names and descriptions, which the built-in widget doesn’t have an option for.

Even with a fully-custom page template, the fact that the slug is “forums” causes the conflict and automatically shows the forums archive page. Does that makes sense?

Any hints on how you did this? Thanks very much in advance.

Hello, I am using latest BBpress as a plugin for WordPress 3.2.1.
I want to enable lithuanian language for BBpress, created necessary folder and uploaded language file, but i can’t find bb-config.php file. There is no such file at all… What should I do? Thank you.
