Do we really need the plugin for making sitemaps for search engines? Does it make bbPress forum more SEO friendly?

The one available is not working with 1.0 Alpha

[cartmanffc]

I thought it might be helpful; I tried the following popular plugins with the latest release of bbPress and they seem to work perfectly:

– bb-smilies

– bbcode-buttons

– mini-track

– my-views

– post-count-plus (with some minor changes)

– support-forum

– bb-reputation (to some extent)

– bb-signatures

– bb-topic-views

– bbcode-lite

– hidden-forums

– report-post

– unread-posts

what is missing most is the working plugin for quotes…

Nice list but I’ve always found function lists fairly useless, though I guess if you have zero experience with how bbPress or WordPress works, they can give you a starting point with something to browse through.

What really helps is a trace of how functions flow when a page is loaded and what files they are located in.

I have an experimental version of bb-benchmark that does something like this using a trace feature from WordPress 2.6 but it’s not available for public use yet.

No, you cannot use bbPress 0.9 with WordPress 2.6

[leoleoleo]

Hi _CK_,

I just installed 1.0 alpha.Can WordPress 2.6.1 integration bbPress 0.9? If can, I’ll uninstall 1.0 Alpha and install 0.9? Is good?

[_ck_]

Show me your mysql configuration by doing this in your shell (ssh)

cat /etc/my.cnf

and copy what it returns to a post here or into pastebin.com

I suspect we can improve it. MySQL cache is very important to bbPress performance.

[_ck_]

Running bbPress on a server with 128mb of ram would be very difficult unless it’s a very light setup with low use.

256mb should be doable if that is real, permanent memory and not burst memory. It’s also important if you don’t have alot of overhead like cpanel running.

#1 problem on most small VPS is you either don’t have the mysql cache turned on or it’s too small of a cache

#2 problem is you almost certainly don’t have a PHP opcode cache like eAccelerator installed

#3 problem on almost all VPS is bad neighbors.

On a shared host, you can easily tell when you have bad neighbors who are overloading the server (node). On a VPS they are hidden. If you have an inexperienced host, they may have a hard time tracking down the offender, or may not even care. If they tell you that your neighbors can’t affect you, that’s an outright lie or plain ignorance.

If you are running bbPress 1.0 alpha it has several problems generating far too many mysql queries and that could be causing you some headaches. If you are using bbPress 0.9, definitely stick with that, but you need to fine tune your settings.

WordPress has some nice caching plugins like wp-super-cache. No such creature exists yet for bbPress, so all pages must be rendered each time by the engine, making it use more overhead than WordPress.

[_ck_]

This is why it’s called an alpha.

There are bugs, some serious.

So far I’ve seen a forum query bug and a tag query bug but not a topic query bug, so that’s a new one.

Make sure you update bb-topic-views which had a query bug too. In fact you should de-activate your plugins and see if the query problem persists before we blame it on bbPress.

[darnit]

I found the answer myself, 26 mins. later, LOL: you simply need to go to Manage -> Forums -> click on a forum and set its parent forum.

That way you’ll have multiple subforums on any forum on your bbPress installation.

Heh. Next time, I’ll get acquainted with the features of bbPress BEFORE asking for help

[darnit]

Hello bbpress world!

I would like to congratulate you all for developing such a steadfast, easy-to-use forum software known as bbPress. I love(s) it

Secondly — yeap, it’s an issue — I would like to know if it is possible to have a forum-forum-topic structure instead of the current forum-topic one.

For example, we currently have:

Webmasters Forum – [all the topics go here]

while we would want to have:

Webmasters Forum – Italian Webmasters Forum / American Webmasters Forum – [all the topics from the Italian / American go here]

Would such a structure be possible?

Thank you for your time and for your replies.

Hi,

I installed bbpress yesterday. I followed the installation guide and the forum was successfully installed. I have a seperate database for my bbpress.

I have not integrated our wordpress blog to the bbpress forum. I also did not changed our wordpress settings like “users must be registered to login or comment”.

Today, I just noticed that the comments on our wordpress blog are gone. You can see them in the wordpress dashboard but when you visit the post for example here:

http://www.rewardcreditcardsite.com/how-to-spot-a-non-rewarding-credit-card/

It says it has “3 comments” but you can’t see the comments or comment box.

I removed the bbpress, but it didnt bring my comments back. Can anyone help? Thanks

[chrishajer]

It was happening earlier, but they fixed it.

[clementine]

Hi. I’ve just moved into a Virtual Dedicated Server, i have 4 wordpress instalations with very few users and visits (like 200 per day) and 2 bbpress instalations with 200 users and 800 visits/day each one… They are in different accounts in the server, sharing DDBB.

The server its supposed to have 126mb ram but they’ve double increased my memory so, 256…

The server gets overloaded all the time, and I guess it’s BBpress… I don’t have any plugin or anything weird, just a smileys plugin. Does anybody knows what might be happening? I have ssh access and all that stuff…

[meitershaker]

i think there is a serious bug in all pages of bbpress 1.0 trunk, because i have the same effect in a fresh install…

i don’t understand the number of query, why when i’m not login, there is over 100 query?

bye

[kehlers]

Is anyone else seeing this? When I go to http://www.bbpress.org I get the home page with no styles (just plain white bg and plain HTML). At first glance, I didn’t see if anyone had already mentioned this, and didn’t know another way to report it to the powers that be…

Detective, thanks a lot!!!

It solved my problem ( wp 2.5.1, bbpress 0.9.0.2)

Bo Fiddlesticks, you should save code in set-default-role.php file, put it in bb-plugins and activate

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: bbpress wpmu default role

Plugin URI: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/yet-another-integration-bug-no-role-set-on-registration?replies=5

Description: Sets a default WPMU role for all new bbpress users.

Author: Detective

Author URI: http://www.ryuuko.cl/

*/



function wpbb_add_user_role_rk($user_id) {

$user = new WP_User($user_id);

$user->set_role(get_option('default_role'));

}

add_action( 'bb_new_user', 'wpbb_add_user_role_rk');

?>

[chrishajer]

Option 1 is valid. When bbPress comes out later though, WordPress might be higher than 2.6. There might always be a little bit of lag between versions for compatibility, but the idea is sane: upgrade now, then wait for a new version and upgrade again later.

Option 2 is also valid.

Question 1: yes, you can grab any old release from WordPress.org:

https://wordpress.org/download/release-archive/

Also, you need only worry about compatibility if you are looking for integration. Other than that, the versions don’t need to be sync’d up.

And finally, you need to be careful running old versions to be certain there were no security fixes. The move from 2.6 to 2.6.1 had nothing to do with security, but the move from 2.5 to 2.6 did. So I guess 2.5 had some security issues. [citation needed]

[Andrew]

I am currently running the following:

WP 2.3x (using due to theme limitations)

BBPress 0.8.3.1

I am planning to upgrade the theme to be compatible with the latest version of WordPress. Once I do this I need to upgrade BBpress. Given the availabiltiy of the Alpha and the 2.5 restriction of BBpress 0.9 I was looking for suggestions on how to go about things.

Option 1 – Is this a valid path?

1. Upgrade to WP2.5 & BBpress 0.9

2. Wait for stable 1.0 Beta of BBpress

3. Upgrade to WP 2.6x and BBpress 1.0

Option 2

1. Upgrade to WP2.6 & BBpress Alpha

Questions:

1. Is a 2.5 version of WP still being distributed?

I hope this was clear. Thanks.

[Jens Wedin]

Here is a function list for the v1.0 alpha one. As the developers do not add any documentation I found this on the net. You can you this by your own if you have an older or newer version of bbPress by doing this command in the terminal (linux or mac):

grep -oe ^function.*) bb-includes/template-functions.php | sort > functions.txt

This idea is Tims (http://timjoh.com), I used updated his idea.

@Thion – I think 2018-2019

bbpress needs all (all current and all “release critical” bugs at least) bug fixes … and 3-4 relatively small enhancements.

I think regular (every 4-5 weeks) alfa-s will be useful.

[chrishajer]

Please don’t bump topics. If someone can offer help, they will.

I don’t think that plugin author has been around for a while. Maybe try contacting them through their website. http://klr20mg.com/

Hello Chris

yes I noticed, but I use the free version revolution blog that is slightly different (I don’t like the classical forum look of the revolution BBpress theme, I love Kakumei discussion look) and I try to keep Kakumei look with just my blog specific header and footer

[chrishajer]

Did you know that Brian Gardner released a Revolution theme for bbPress?
