is this bbpress related?

The ‘Forums’ heading is created by your theme.

which method in the below are you using to create the forum page?

I updated an issue about this on bbPress trac: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3355#comment:4

Thanks, I’ll try there too. It’s a bbpress forum linked to a buddypress group.

[erinuia]

I created a forum in a specific bbpress group. Now I would like to change the permissions so any logged in user can post in the forum (not just group members). How do I do this?

[gozazomo]

great, thank you boss 🙂

Anyway do you know some solution on how to migrate topics from wpforo to bbpress? Thank in advance

[Robin W]

put this in the custom css of the style pack plugin.

#bbpress-forums span.bbp-admin-links a, #bbpress-forums span.bbp-admin-links {
	font-size: 13px;
}

Hi,

We have been having issues with a bbPress forum we imported into. Our hosts have said we have some slow queries. Is this something we can alter in bbPress settings?

Reply from our hosts below.

Many Thanks,

Andy

We have lots of queries involving posts and postmeta tables that are notably slow:

# User@Host: [removed] @ [127.0.0.1]
# Thread_id: 517 Schema: [removed] QC_hit: No
# Query_time: 10.200091 Lock_time: 0.000118 Rows_sent: 10 Rows_examined: 2017628
# Rows_affected: 0 Bytes_sent: 195
SET timestamp=1699707197;
SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS wp_y1_4_posts.ID
FROM wp_y1_4_posts INNER JOIN wp_y1_4_postmeta ON ( wp_y1_4_posts.ID = wp_y1_4_postmeta.post_id ) INNER JOIN wp_y1_4_postmeta AS mt1 ON ( wp_y1_4_posts.ID = mt1.post_id )
WHERE 1=1 AND (
wp_y1_4_postmeta.meta_key = ‘_bbp_last_active_time’
AND
(
( mt1.meta_key = ‘_bbp_forum_id’ AND CAST(mt1.meta_value AS SIGNED) != ‘675217’ )
)
) AND ((wp_y1_4_posts.post_type = ‘topic’ AND (wp_y1_4_posts.post_status = ‘publish’ OR wp_y1_4_posts.post_status = ‘closed’ OR wp_y1_4_posts.post_status = ‘expired’)))
GROUP BY wp_y1_4_posts.ID
ORDER BY CAST(wp_y1_4_postmeta.meta_value AS DATETIME) DESC
LIMIT 0, 10;

It takes over 10 seconds to execute, examining over 2 million rows but only sending 10. This inefficiency can be due to unoptimized JOIN operations or lack of proper indexing.you can cosider using a database optimization plugin to improve indexing and query efficiency and Implementing a caching solution to reduce database load, especially for frequently accessed data.

Hey guys,

the forums index is not showing and causing the site design to break whilst topics pages remain displaying fine.

WordPress version: 6.4.1
Theme: Divi version: 4.23.1
bbPress version: 2.6.9

https://umaps.org.uk/forums/

Index slug /forums
Other pages called forums? No (bin empty as well).
I’ve done what was suggested in the bbp style pack and cleared static css files and disabled the option.

I’ve also set the permalink structure to post name and saved it a couple of times.

Can you help me with this?

Warm wishes,
Maria

you to check the bbpress role, keymaster or moderator

[astrologiamb]

I have two different admin. One of them shows the editor toolbar when I want to answer a thread, the other one does not show the toolbar. I have tried with different browser, incognito mode with no luck.
All other users show the editor with no issues.

We’re all in the same boat.
A bigger (or even medium sized) bbPress cannot be ported to another WP installation.
Fact.

[Robin W]

It’s doable, you would need to amend

bbpress\templates\default\bbpress\loop-topics.php and save to your child theme.

and amend to add to call to bbp_topics() 2-3 times to doi the ordering

Beyond free help I’m afraid, if you’d like paid help happy for you to contact me via

I’ve been using BBPRESS for a while now and I want to show the BBPRESS statistics on the BBPRESS left side bar and its showing this message below the statistics . And I’ve also deleted it on the widget area and it still showing this message.

“Warning: Undefined array key “topic_tag_count” in /home/wealthiq/gabata.com.ng/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-statistics.php on line 42″

How can I solve this?

[Robin W]

it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

Health Check & Troubleshooting

Then come back

Hi,

I just installed bbpress plugin. I created few forums in the dashboard, and when I click on View Forums, I don’t see Forums in a proper format, nor as links on click of which would give me opportunity to create threads. It is showing as in the screenshot provided at the below link.

Was a solution found?

I’m currently having this same problem on the profile pages; the page meta titles are missing, so every page meta title is just our website name. We also use Yoast.

Sounds like this is a result of bbPress creating virtual pages for every user that can’t be customized or noindexed to improve SEO.

The forums, topics, replies meta titles are fine because we’ve set them in Yoast > Settings.

I came across other bbPress forum topics that mentioned the BBP Improvements for Yoast plugin and a few other plugins to improve bbPress and Yoast, but the plugins are 4-6 years out of date, so I’m not going to install them. There’s also a Github topic about this, but it was closed in 2021 with only vague ideas of workarounds, for example using an API-based noindex coding.

I’ve already reset permalinks and flushed cache.
I’m planning to update WP Core and update our PHP version to see if that helps.
There’s also a button in Yoast tools to “Start SEO Data Optimization” which I may do lastly.

Hello! I’m interested in having a forum for each of my classes that I have through Learndash and have setup bbpress to create those class forums, however, I need help with how to keep students in the class after they submit a question or reply in the forum. Right now, after they submit their question it takes them to the bbpress forum area but I’d like them to stay in the class. Any ideas on how to achieve that?

ok, so that is a page with a shortcode that tends to suggest you do not have the bbpress plugin active

Hi, I just made a forum using bbPress but there is no function on quoting certain post/comment.
Can someone guide me please how to quote a post or comment without using any plugin.
Thanks

[Robin W]

I think you are using the 2023 theme.
This is one of the new FSE themes, so you need a fix to work with bbpress.
install

bbp style pack

once activated, navigate to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack, and you should see the first tab called ‘Theme Support’ – if you don’t see this, come back.

In that tab, select

Enable Theme Support

and save

The forums should then display

Hello,

I am trying to follow the step-by-step instructions, and I am still having trouble displaying the main forum page. I am trying to use method 1. I checked and verified the settings.

I added some test forums and topics, and I can see them in the backend.
Forum Root = Forums
Permalink structure is set to POSTNAME
Category | Tag base left blank (default)

I created a page called Forums and nothing displayed.
I tried adding the shortcode and still nothing appears.

I am referring to: https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/#3-%c2%a0creating-a-forum-page

Page Links: https://bkswathq.com/forums
Wordpress : 6.3.2
bbp Version 2.6.9

Thanks in advance.
Fills silly to be stuck so early on in the process.
