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:

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
<object width=”560″ height=”340″><param name=”movie” value=”http://www.youtube.com/v/pM1Z1y4-Ylg&hl=zh_TW&fs=1&”></param><param name=”allowFullScreen” value=”true”></param><param name=”allowscriptaccess” value=”always”></param><embed src=”http://www.youtube.com/v/pM1Z1y4-Ylg&hl=zh_TW&fs=1&” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” allowscriptaccess=”always” allowfullscreen=”true” width=”560″ height=”340″></embed></object>
NOt working.. > <
I have been reading posts about this for the last few days and they started in 2007. Its hard to believe that there is still not an easy to use and reliable converter. Maybe I have missed something but the only one I have found that seems even remotely worth trying requires both installs to be in the same database. I have a phpbb3 forum with about 5000 users, and just under 2000 posts. I would like to migrate my users and their posts over. Is there anything that will do this that I might have missed?
I turned them on.
I found the problem though, some time in the middle of last night I had some hair brained idea to reverse integrate bbpress back into WordPress so I could display forums in my sidebars and what not… well I’m running µ and I didn’t want everybody who hosts with us to have to load bbpress and not even get to use it, so I was being ‘crafty’. Somehow I managed not to break WP, but I busted bbPress. 
Woke up this morning and forgot all about it.
I updated this plugin with some fixes – new posts, and paging. Also, I used a better way of removing the forum/ and topic/ from the urls that doesn’t involve str_replace.

Its been 20 months since #784
Here are the queries I wrote which will take care of different bbPress table prefixes too :
http://blog.ashfame.com/2009/09/show-post-count-topics-started-bbpress/
Go it <?php global $topic; forum_name($topic->forum_id);?>
with the help of _ck_’s post: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/retrieving-forum-id-from-post-id#post-21521
That url has been mapping to buddypress for a while now… not sure what’s going on, but guessing it’s just random.
There was the exact same error messages reported here:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/admin-panel-warning
Here was the solution:
It turned out that couple of topics in the topic tables didnt have topic start time.
It was 0000-00-00 00:00:00. It was probably from converting from phpBB.
I changed to start times and then there is no warnings anymore.
Do you have phpmyadmin? You could check the topic start times in the database maybe…
