We are evaluating a move to an enterprise hosting environment at Pagely and are encountering some issues with bbPress performance there. We are currently on an E1 with 16 PHP workers at Kinsta, and the action of posting to the forums (our slowest action) takes 8-15 seconds depending on server load.

At Pagely, the post query takes at least 30 seconds and the browser usually times out (60 sec) before everything finishes up and returns the topic page to the user.

We’ve been analyzing with Pagely engineers and have learned this:

Because Pagely uses an RDS, and bbPress uses a whole series of queries that require multiple calls and answers to/from the RDS, communications latency is a huge problem that makes our bbPress install non-functional in this environment. In contrast to Kinsta, where the database is local and not remote.

Question:

Anyone have guidance on getting a large bbPress forum (100k+ topics, 1M+ replies) to run fast in an RDS environment?

Hi bbpress guys,

I would like to create a new forum on each post. Similar to the discussion boards that use to be on imdb.

I guess what im looking for is similar to bbpress-post-topics/

So, if you imagine. I post a movie review about “james bond”. I would like people on that post to be able to create new topics in that forum. This forum would be present on that post/page and only contain only topics relating to that post/page.

This report already exists in the bbpress track.
7 months ago I posted this bug.

sorry, that’s how it works, and how all plugins that I have known use custom fields work. As far as I can see that’s how it worked under 2.5.x – no code change I can see.

I’m just a user who helps out here, so if you really feel strongly about it, I suggest you log a bug at

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/

[Robin W]

just did a completely new site – no plugins except bbpress and your code, twentyseventeen theme, works fine.

when you say ‘save topic as draft’ – what exactly do you mean?

Hello,

I think GDPR requires users be able to delete their account/data. Normally this is in the profile area, but I cannot find that option in bbPress…

Is there a way to add that to the edit profile area?

[choiyugi67]

Hello,

I have 0 knowledge about making website and such… but please help!
I want to make it like this –
1. Forum name clicked
2. Goes to Single Forum Layout page with corresponding forum ID (Edited with Elementor).
3. When posted Topic is clicked, It’ll show the post, reply threads and reply form.

–

I’m using Elementor’s bbpress widget and has bbp Style Pack (My WordPress theme is twenty-ninteen).

First, I made a page with Forum Index, and created a Forum. I created a Forum from WordPress dashboard “Forum”.

Second, When I click this Title of the Forum, it takes me to a WordPress Theme without “Edit with Elementor” gives me Content missing error. I’m having a trouble with this too, it seems like I have to add: the_content (); code or <?php the_content(); ?> on somewhere in the Theme Edit on dashboard. None of the Google search matched what I see on my css and php code list.

Third, I created 3 different sub-pages to Forum Index page to put in Elementor’s Bbpress widget, changed layout to Single Forum and input ID of the forum that I found from the Dashboard’s Forum section.

Problem is here, I can’t connect when the Forum name is clicked, direct to the Single Forum page.

I noticed that Breadcrumb of the Single Forum page is Home > Forums > Forum > Videos.
“Home” is Home, I don’t have a page name “Forums”-where is this coming from?
The name of the page with Bbpress widget (Forum Index) is “Forum”.

From seeing this error, It seems like I have to edit directly onto the Dashboard’s Forums section. but with these Forum page I don’t have access to Edit with Elementor.

I appreciate anyone’s suggestions and help! If you need any more information or need to clarify anything, please let me know.

Thank you.

[Robin W]

the bbpress displays are built using templates.

I’d start with looking at this

bbp style pack

which will let you do many things.

to put your stats at the bottom, you’d need to look at creating a page for your forums and using

[bbp-forum-index]

then you can use gutenburg blocks or whatever editor you have to add the stats widget at the bottom

[Robin W]

this may be what you need to change the default template

bbPress WP Tweaks

[bobwhallz]

I am using the default bbpress templates

[Robin W]

ok, I don’t think it is a css problem.

cab you tell me which method you are using in no. 8 in here

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

[Robin W]

thanks for that and for the really helpful video.

I can see that on forum pages, your site is not displaying the elementor menu, which is what is missing – so it is not that it is transparent, it is because it is not there !!

I suspect it is a conflict between your theme/ementor and bbpress templates.

how technical are you ?

[Robin W]

given that you don’t understand code, then the best I can offer is to remove the bbpress login from the topic and reply forms.

This can be done by installing

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topic/Reply Form and activate item 15

[Robin W]

sorry, bbpress uses the standard wordpress login api, so it is code if you want to do something different

[Oleksandr]

I use the next code in functions.php

add_filter('bbp_get_topic_post_type_supports', 'register_bbpress_topic_type_supports');
function register_bbpress_topic_type_supports( $args ) {
	$args[] = 'excerpt';
	$args[] = 'thumbnail';
	$args[] = 'custom-fields';
	return $args ;
}

Can you explain it in detail? please! We use WordPress only in blogs. Is there any kind of issue with that? Can we use bbpress on this? The topics we choose for the forum is the same as blog categories. Here is the blog of my website:

[Robin W]

ok I suspect you are talking about wordpress post custom fields.

if so, bbpress has never natively supported these, so I suspect you have code or an additional plugin such as acf or a bbpress plugin that is doing this.

[Oleksandr]

I used custom fields with bbpress topics and reply.

[Robin W]

the simplest way would be to just take out the bbpress login

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-user-login.php

transfer this to your pc and edit to just delete all the content (or you could put a link to your page)

and save

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

Then transfer the file you saved above and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/form-user-login.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

[Oleksandr]

I mean the standard custom fields.
CF works with bbpress 2.5.14

[Oleksandr]

Custom Field doesn’t work with bbpress 2.6 and above
I use custom fields for bbpress topics.
I tried to turn off all plugins and change the theme to default but always receive next javascript error in the console:

This is the login URL for my user:

I want to direct from the create topic and also reply, and all the links (which is in the bbpress plugin) that redirect the login to my WordPress deafult

Hello There,

I have just installed bbpress on my WordPress blog website I have created 7 categories in the main forum, but when I click on the categories, topics do not show on the category. I have created a demo forum on local, whenever I open the link a blank page shows up. I saved permalinks too, but it did not work.

[bobwhallz]

Hi
I have a transparent header built with Astra theme and Elementor page builder. I am also using BuddyPress on my site.

I would like to change all the bbpress forum pages header to a different background color, none white, so the header menu can display properly.

What css codes should i use?
Bbpre Version 2.6.5 on latest WordPress installation
Thank you

[Robin W]

bbpress just uses WordPress login.

When a user first logs on without a bbpress role (eg keymaster, moderator, participant spectator or blocked) bbpress looks at

dashboard>settings>forums>roles and if set gives the user that role – yours is almost certainly set to ‘participant’ – so you can switch off or amend that settings as you wish.

participants have then ability to create topics and replies.
