no i have a default install of bbpress 1.0 trunk. and yes, the javascript is not loaded, why?
No, if you have bbpress and wordpress integrated, and you are with bbPress 0.9, you should stick with WordPress 2.5 because that’s the only version that works with bbPress 0.9
There is nothing wrong with WP 2.5 and no need to upgrade to 2.6, because if you do, you’ll need bbPress 1.0 alpha which is unstable and has bugs.
Okay, carefully edit your /etc/my.cnf (ask if you don’t know how to edit) and REPLACE what’s in there with this:
[mysqld]
max_connections = 400
key_buffer = 16M
myisam_sort_buffer_size = 32M
join_buffer_size = 1M
read_buffer_size = 1M
sort_buffer_size = 2M
table_cache = 1024
thread_cache_size = 286
interactive_timeout = 25
wait_timeout = 1000
connect_timeout = 10
max_allowed_packet = 16M
max_connect_errors = 10
query_cache_limit = 1M
query_cache_size = 16M
query_cache_type = 1
tmp_table_size = 16M
skip-innodb
[mysqld_safe]
open_files_limit = 8192
[mysqldump]
quick
max_allowed_packet = 16M
[myisamchk]
key_buffer = 32M
sort_buffer = 32M
read_buffer = 16M
write_buffer = 16M
[mysqlhotcopy]
interactive-timeout
After you edit it you’ll need to restart the mysql engine by typing this in the ssh:
service mysql restart
(optionally there’s also a mysql restart in cpanel)
Then do a couple of refreshes on your bbPress pages and it should seem a bit zippier.
For now you should be okay with cpanel and whm – they do make life much easier running a server. There are things we can fine tune eventually.
However you have one HUGE problem.
You have no mysql cache enabled, at all!
When we get it fixed you will see a big difference in bbpress (and wordpress) performance.
Thanks a lot for your help _ck_, I’m doing all the changes you said… bbpress config file and super cache…
That’s what I get when I type the command:
root@node2 [~]# cat /etc/my.cnf
[mysqld]
skip-bdb
skip-innodb
I’m on 0.9.0.2 bbPress version…
The cookies in bbPress 1.0 and WordPress 2.6 are based on recommendations from a security whitepaper by a top researcher.
Half of the key used in the cookie is kept in the database and the other half of the key is kept in the configuration file (bb-config.php / wp-config.php)
The idea is to make it harder for an attacker to compromise the system. They may gain file access but not db access or visa versa – therefore the other half is safe.
When I say “half” it’s not literal – but essentially the secret keys are “salted” with the secret salt. “Salting” is a much more complex operation than needs to be explained here (see wikipedia).
Probably your installation is not loading the javascript libraries. Are you using WordPress’ header instead of the bbPress one?
Okay I’ve figured out why it happens.
It’s a very serious flaw in how the new 1.0 db caching system works. Apparently they now suddenly base everything about the WHERE clause. If the clause is slightly different for any two queries, it doesn’t use the cache and instead does it a direct db query. It’s stupid.
There is absolutely no way I can fix it in the plugin, it has to be fixed inside bbPress 1.0 and I am not sure if or when they will bother.
Hidden Forums has not been tested yet again 1.0 alpha.
I simply don’t have time to modify every plugin for all the changes.
This is why people should not use the alpha yet for regular sites.
Update: I’m unable to reproduce your problem however.
I have no extra queries with using Hidden Forums on the 1.0 trunk. Are you using the Alpha from the download on bbpress.org, or are you using the SVN trunk?
How well do existing themes work with the latest alpha release? And is that likely to change with the final release? I’ve made lots of modifications to my existing theme, and would hate to have to start from scratch. (Although, admittedly, I knew I was running that risk using a beta release of bbpress!)

No

No
All the sitemap does is submit a list of URLs to a search engine. It doesn’t do anything else.
this should be default option of bbPress
bbPress Sitemap Generator 0.61
I had the plugin installed for some time and on one sunny day I couldn’t post any reply
I deactivated the plugin and everything went back to normal
Hello,
I would add to the list :
Admin Can Post Anything 0.5
Ajaxed Quote (very last 1.0 release)
bbPress Attachments 0.1.11
bbPress Sitemap Generator 0.61
Google Analitycs 0.1
Weird, it works for me. What seems to be the problem with it?
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
