I’ve now made a plugin to do a few kinds of fast recounting much faster than bbPress does it and with only a few queries vs the hundreds or thousands bbPress can do.
I highly recommend you backup your database first since I’ve only barely tested it (in theory if it went wrong you could do the recount the long way via the regular functions)
http://bbshowcase.org/plugins/fast-recount.zip
The new recount selections will appear under the regular recount menu.
DO NOT use this plugin under bbPress 1.0, it’s assumes bbPress 0.9 table structures.
cant delete permanently post?
and how to take database on 1.0.1 bbpress
Let’s say I have a WordPress site. I don’t want it to be http://www.example.com/wordpress/ – maybe I want it at http://www.example.com or maybe http://www.example.com/blog/. Making WordPress the root of your site is easy, and I think you’ve already done that.
To mask bbpress, just rename the folder to something other than the default when it’s unzipped of bbpress. Call it ‘forums’ or ‘discussions’. If you rename the bbpress folder before you start, you don’t need to change anything later. If you’ve already installed it, then there are a couple config hoops to jump through to move it.
You could also do a subdomain installation, like forums.example.com and not even show that it’s in a subdirectory at all. Then just map that subdomain to the directory where you’ve installed bbPress on the server. No need for directories at all in the URI/URL.
Masking is pretty silly, since one look at the source (if you even need to go that far, for WordPress and bbPress) will give away the secret (wp- and bb- anyone?) If you’re just trying to remain application-neutral, then I agree that this is worth doing (i.e. let’s say you want to use punBB or something later. If you used /forums for your bbPress installation, you can retain /forums and just install punBB in there.)
The way bbPress does recounts is horribly bad to this very day, even in 1.0
https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/1146
It does a separate query for every topic instead of doing it all internally via mysql.
Be sure to only do one kind of recount per attempt, don’t check them all on an active forum or you’ll make your mysql cry and your php timeout.
I might have to try to write the special mysql query for you.
John pointed out something interesting.
even though bbPress 0.9 doesn’t use bb_meta, there still could be corrupt bb_options, which would be topic 0 in the bb_topic_meta table in your database.
You are getting the poll error from your template because the plugin doesn’t exist anymore and the function is missing.
If you have phpmyadmin you can inspect under bb_topic_meta, meta_key active_plugins
In theory you could delete that and then you’d have to reactivate all your plugins.
(I would backup the db first)
I am using Bbpress 0.9.0.4
@Rohan
I don’t think that is what teamamy is asking for.
@teamamy
I think we need more explanation of exactly what you are trying to achieve in your final setup.
I get this message when I have deleted polls entirely from plugin directory.
Fatal error: Call to undefined function bb_polls_pre_poll() in /home/content/a/l/e/alexander9999/html/forums/bb-templates/blank2rbbpress/topic.php on line 2
QuickD – what version of bbPress are you using, and are you integrated with WordPress?
it is the polls for bbpress that is deactivating. I have a lot of plugins, avatars, bavatars, polls, askimet, reputation plugins and several others
Sometimes if there is a problem with bbPress data in general, certain plugins will deactivate on their own:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bb_meta-corrupted
Which plugin(s) deactivated? And what other plugins are you using?
bbPress doesn’t run without any forums.
You have to have at least one configured or it thinks you aren’t properly installed.
I used smi1ey method worked nice,thanks for explanation buddy
There isn’t a single bbPress plugin I am aware of that deactivates itself.
Any particular reason you didn’t mention which plugins were behaving like that?
There is an undocumented safe-mode option which deactivates all plugins but I can’t imagine why you’d have that activated in bb-config.php
What plugin are you talking about and is it a WordPress or bbPress plugin? Are you integrated with WordPress or WPMU? Maybe you are using an incompatible or unnecessary plugin.
Link to the plugin please, and what version of bbPress are you using?
You might have gotten a quicker answer by just trying it in your installation. You’ll have to share more information here for us to be of any help.
You can safely delete all the bb_ tables, unless you happened to use bb_ as a prefix for something OTHER than bbPress. Normally, bb_ is just the prefix for bbPress tables.
Are you trying to remove EVERYTHING from a bbPress installation, or are there some users or posts that you want to retain?
> I’m sorry mate but deep integration doesn’t slow anything down.
I think there would be many here who disagree with you. What sort of empirical evidence do you have that it does NOT slow anything down? Loading all of WordPress has to take some amount of time.
https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/#func
Doing this will add quite a lot of weight to your bbPress installation as it will cause WordPress to load in it’s entirety. Your best option is to try to emulate the functionality you require inside a bbPress plugin.
Tony did this the right way to get the functionality he needed.
Can you please link us to your site, It would help with debugging.
Sure there is. Go to the admin, general and then you will see the option bbpress address: change that.
I have just set up WPMU with BuddyPress and BBPress. When I try to post a test message to a group from BuddyPress, I get “There was an error posting that topic.” I have followed all the instructions in the set-up. Can anyone give me any ideas about what is going wrong?
Hi,
I’m an old school computer person and feel it is very sloppy to display application subdirectories on your host site.
I’ve succesfully masked the URI of my WordPress 2.2 site to remove the ./wordpress/ subdirectory. I would like to be able to do the same thing with bbPress.
Is there a way to mask the bbpress subdirectory?
Thanks,
Amy
Hi there,
Another question for someone! So I figured out how to add last poster and first poster to a post. However I have the pages separated for the forums. Example:
Main theme — topics — freshness
section one 4,000 2 days
section two etc etc
You have to click each section to view the posts in that section. However the last poster and freshness show properly in the actual sections but not on the main theme.
I want the freshness column to show (3 mins, 2 mins etc ) on the main section as well as for each thread (it already shows for each thread but not on the main theme). Also when I add freshness like normal, it makes every section say the same thing (1 day, 2 days etc). Also when I add topic_last_poster, it just shows the same person posted for every section).
If you need to see what I am specificly talking about check it out:
http://www.ghostdroppings.com/bbpress/
See the main theme on that page. I need the column that says freshness to actually display who posted last in that section. But its not properly saying who posted last, I even posted in a section and the last poster didn’t change. I was hoping to combine them, (Name) Posted 12 mins ago or 3 days ago. If I can’t get the (posted 12 mins ago) I at least want the accurate person who posted last in that section.
Any help would be much appreciated.
-Adam
Ps, I know there is this plugin http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/forum-last-poster/
However when I activate it, the bbpress forums won’t load at all. It totally freezes it up. I am using 9.0.4
Hi,
I’m looking for a way to prevent direct access to the bbPress system from the outside. I have some user communities and I would like to have the users sign onto the WordPress site, then access the BBS only from there. This way, the users would be forced to undergo SSL authentication and then access the BBS as a new window from a Page entry at the top of the site. (PS. I’m trying to do the same thing with phpFreeChat as well.)
Once they are logged on, they don’t need to keep their WP session alive (at least for now).
Is this something that is possible?
Thanks,
Amy
