If you’re unsure of what PHPINFO is, put this into a file called info.php on your web server, then access it with a browser at http://www.example.com/info.php and paste the info somewhere where we can see it.
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
I think Sam doesn’t work for Automattic anymore. Check this link : http://www.wptavern.com/forum/bbpress/860-future-bbpress-undecided.html
Moreover he isn’t listed here too : http://automattic.com/about/
0.9 or 1.0 and what is the environment your server is on.
If you don’t know what that means just give us a PHPINFO.
If you are on a host with NFS (like dreamhost) bbPress and WordPress
(or anything relying on alot of files) will be slow.
johnhiler, I think that’s the plugin I meant to link to. I don’t even know what mini-stats does! (I see you rated the plugin; can you describe what it does?)
Thanks for posting the link to bb-benchmark.
Great advice from chrishajer!
The only thing I’d add is that this plugin can be helpful in counting your queries, and identifying which plugin is slowing your site down:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-benchmark/
Good luck!
And a plugin or extension is probably not going to make your site any faster. There are no plugins I know of that will speed up bbPress. I think you first want to establish a baseline for the performance of the site, then you can fix the easy things first and move on from there.
I think you first need to determine how long bbPress is actually taking to generate a page, and how long it takes to generate the other pages on the site. You can start with _ck_’s mini-stats plugin for bbPress.

[edit: see johnhiler’s link below to the bb-benchmark plugin]
And, on the other part of your site, what is running that? Is it WordPress or just static HTML? If it’s WordPress, you can get a plugin as well to point out performance bottlenecks.
Regardless of what type of software a site (your site) is running, there are lots of tools you can run in your browser to find performance bottlenecks.
Firefox (you need that to run most of these add-ons)
Firebug (all around awesome tool)
Y Slow from Yahoo!
Google Page Speed
There are tons and tons of performance add-ons for Firefox but these will get the job done.
Also, what host are you on, and can you post the URL here so others may see the performance first hand?
Has anybody found a solution to having a facebuddy-like theme for bbpress? Any help would be much appreciated!!!!
Any chance bbPress will get a codex proper then?
Is the site database-based or just HTML?
I have bbPress on the same server and in the same hosting account. Yet bbPress loads a lot slower than the site itself. Is there a plugin or extension to resolve the issue?
Thank you.
$wpdb and $bbdb have nice sanitizing functions and caching of results if I remember correctly
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wpdb_Class
They can also be used to retrieve table names for the respective package
QuickD – if you type a URL, bbPress automatically converts that to a clickable link. I will type just www.google.com and below it will be a link to google with the text http://www.google.com
http://www.google.com
It’s actually harder to have bbPress NOT make links out of URLs.
Why not just use the threaded comments that are built in to WordPress? Is there something you don’t like a the WordPress commenting system? If so, maybe there’s a plugin out there to change it.
@Kawauso: I edited the active template. I only edited the mentioned functions.bb-template.php, not the css files. I´m using my own custom theme…
@mwaterous: I think you aren´t right. This (Ticket) is exactly what i´m talking about.
Chrishajer has a great explanation of how the database connection works here:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cant-get-past-1st-step
Or is it possible you’re on GoDaddy? If so, try the instructions here:

This is what I can think of… The new config files for either bb&wp is different in some way. Or you need to just recount everything under the bbpress admin section.
I did it with the converter they have but it was with bbpress 0.9 and below. Search fro it it’s in this forum somewhere. It wasn’t clean cut but enough to keep moving.
I’m trying to embed one in this topic
