Hi,
It just says “Version 2.6-alpha”.
I’ll try to download the beta version to check the improvements. Thanks.
Concerning the feedbacks, I don’t really get anything useful from the users and I start believing they are just lazy.
Even though, stats speak more than words: before bbpress I had about 11K sessions per month, now I have 800.
Really no one can help me? I am very interested in it, I am writing in the help forum, but I did not get it. After all, the people who wrote all the converters will certainly be able to modify one of them. It’s only been a few days since I created the topic, maybe too soon I would like the forum to work on bbpress script …. However, I hope that there will be a person willing to help. Regards, Michal sorry for my english 🙂

What I can tell you for sure as a general feedback is that since I’ve moved to bbPRess from phpBB the forum has suddenly died and users are pushing me to roll back to phpBB as they don’t find bbPress as user friendly.
Humans are generally resistant to change. That doesn’t mean they’re wrong, but it also doesn’t mean they’re right. If you would be willing to share specific feedback your users have given you, we would love to look it over and see what we can do. There’s lots of room for improvement.
2.6a has been there for a while and I am wondering when a stable version will be available and what new functionalities will be available.
I’m curious about what specific version of 2.6-alpha you’re running (this should be listed in the admin on the plugins page, e.g. – 2.6-alpha-XXXX). Ultimately, it doesn’t really matter though, because we’re currently at 2.6-beta-2 (https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/bbpress.2.6-beta-2.zip).
I would suggest updating to 2.6-beta-2 and seeing if anything improves. 2.6 will have a lot of improvements. Performance is one of those improvements. The biggest performance improvements won’t becoming until beta-3 is released, but you can always download the development version (https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/bbpress.zip).
Do let us know what comes of any changes.
This is a classic question/problem, that has many-many possible answers.
Your first resource for improving anything should be what’s available on this codex page:
Improving Performance
Everything that’s on that page should be considered, implemented, and tuned. Most of that isn’t specific to bbPress (and is appropriate even just for most WordPress installs) but plugins like bbPress will show huge improvements with adequate caching available.
* Concurrent users
* Database slowness
* Page load times
* Excessive database queries
Improving each of those 4 things requires tweaking & tuning specific things for your specific hardware setup. And if you’re on shared hosting, you might not be able to change any of that configuration at all.
The “concurrent users” problem that BuddyPress & bbPress sites have is actually a good problem to have – it means people are using your site and participating in your community. Server configuration is critical here, as is having adequate hardware that will be ready to serve those requests to your users.
The reason most WordPress installations don’t have the same problem, is because there are fewer (if any) logged in users interacting with a traditional blog, news, or website without participation. Comments are the only database interaction, and most people disable them these days anyways.
There are companies (such as WeFoster) whose primary focus is on optimizing their hosting environments for active communities. They’ll offer all of the above and more to help you tune specific things.
In my experience, it’s easier to identify a specific performance concern, and improve that one thing until you’re happy enough to move onto the next concern.
I use last version. And I downloaded from here https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/bbpress/stable/ru/default
But problem is: files shouldn’t be here /wp-content/languages/bbpress/ , files should be here /wp-content/languages/plugins/
Change instruction please https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/bbpress-in-your-language/
Hi,
I see you downloaded from the 2.4.x branch. You have a bbPress 2.4 installation ?
We are running WordPress 4.7.3 with bbpress 2.5.12 at http://one-name.org. This mysql error started appearing last night when accessing any forum, topic or reply. I believe it relates to the ‘AND ((()))’ clause:

Didn’t work 🙁
I have /wp-content/languages/ So, I created /wp-content/languages/bbpress/
I dowloaded .PO from here https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/2.4.x/ru/default
Changed what I need. Saved as bbpress-ru_RU.po Compilated to .MO and put both (PO and MO) to /wp-content/languages/bbpress/ (bbpress-ru_RU.po and bbpress-ru_RU.mo)
I even clean cash. But nothing.
Help me please.
If you only want to change it on your local installation, you can read the codex on https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/bbpress-in-your-language/
Thank you! That’s what I need.
So it’s display only ? But the input of the topics and replies is happening somewhere in a ‘normal’ bbPress forum, right ?
I think you need to create a theme that only displays what you need. It will be easier then just displaying everything with the shortcodes.
Step-by-Step Guide to Creating a Custom bbPress Theme
Hi,
It’s a bit difficult to understand where this is coming from (it might be part of your theme), so if the site is publically availalble, a link to it might be nice.
It might be that following point 3 of this codex page will help you: https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/
Thanks a lot, it works now! I’ve removed “class=”bbp-author-” and rest of the code doesn’t display so its suits perfectly for me.
Now I trying to change args of bbp_get_reply_admin_links (stored in bbpress/includes/replies/template.php)
Thats my hook
function hw_get_reply_admin_links ($args) {
$args = array (
'before' => '<div class="list">',
'after' => '</div>',
);
return $args;
}
add_filter ('bbp_get_reply_admin_links', 'hw_get_reply_admin_links' );
What’s wrong here?
I’m going to use bbPress but via shortcodes so that only topics and posts within the topics are displayed on pages. I don’t want the full Forum Root, Forums, Topics etc., displayed on a page. so I’m going to create individual pages for each topic assign the bbpress shortcode for the topic and posts. So is it really necessary to do page/slug assignments in bbpress setup and have the full thing displayed even though I’m not going to use the full bbpress forum display structure and I certainly don’t want to the public to see it.
or does anyone have any other suggestions on how to accomplish this?
The “forum” will the individual Page, the Topic will be the posts from users on the assigned page. there won’t be an actual “topic” for each forum since the forum is the topic.
Further clarification.
If I reply to a Topic, and have selected “email me replies to this Topic”, the email I get has an active link.
But what I wanted to achieve, and could do with bbPress Notify, was to automatically send a notification to members when a new topic or new forum was created.
Regards
Douglas
Thanks for the reply. I had installed “bbPress Notify(No-Spam)”. I have deactivated it now to see what happens. Now there are no notifications being sent at all!
I have been unable to get the barebones bbPress send notifications from the start. So I found the Notify plugin and could get notifications to work – but with no active links.
Does bbPress have a basic setting to send notifications when a new topic is started? Or can you recommmend a plugin that integrates better with bbPress and can do this?
Regards
Douglas
1.) I have tested and deactived all plugins, but there is no difference. BBpress just throws 404 on all child forums.
2.) i have tested with permalinks. Nothing works except for “default”, then it finds the sub forums and displays them all other permalink modes/options fails.
3.) I have checked .htaccess and cannot find anything special that could make a difference. I haven’t changed anything for sometime. It (bbpress) has worked fine until now.
4.) I’m using the latest version of wordpress, bbpress & buddypress.
Any idea what could be worng here? I would appreciate anything that would point me in the right direction!
Thanks!
Did you try importing in the latest bbPress 2.6-beta 2 ?

Hi,
If you have only installed bbPress, links should be clickable… Did you add any other plugins on your installation ?
Hi,
bbPress translation is centralized here: https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/bbpress/stable/ru/default
If you want to propose a new translation so everybody in the world that uses it in Russian gets your update (when it gets approved), then you can do that using the above link.
If you only want to change it on your local installation, you can read the codex on https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/bbpress-in-your-language/
I’m trying to add a parent/child relationship between bbpress forums and a custom post type I’ve created. Is there a way to do that, currently I can only make forum a child of another forum?
I’ve tried adding a custom meta box that would allow that:
function my_add_meta_boxes() {
add_meta_box( 'lesson-parent', 'Module', 'lessons_attributes_meta_box', 'forum', 'side', 'high' );
}
add_action( 'add_meta_boxes', 'my_add_meta_boxes' );
function lessons_attributes_meta_box( $post ) {
$post_type_object = get_post_type_object( $post->post_type );
$pages = wp_dropdown_pages( array( 'post_type' => 'lesson', 'selected' => $post->post_parent, 'name' => 'parent_id', 'show_option_none' => __( '(no parent)' ), 'sort_column'=> 'menu_order, post_title', 'echo' => 0 ) );
if ( ! empty( $pages ) ) {
echo $pages;
}
}
This shows the metabox and I can select the CPTs from a dropdown list, they are not saved. This should be because the forum post type has hierarchy=>true. So I’ve tried to disable it using the below code, but it doesn’t work:
add_action('registered_post_type', 'disable_hierarchical', 10, 2 );
// Runs after each post type is registered
function disable_hierarchical($post_type, $pto){
// Return, if not post type posts
if ($post_type != 'forum') return;
// access $wp_post_types global variable
global $wp_post_types;
$wp_post_types['forum']->hierarchical = false;
}
The above code works fine with the page post type, but not with the forum. What’s special about it that I’m missing?
Dear friends.
I installed BBpress on my Russian site. Everything is ok. All words in admin panel and public are translated to Russian. I need change some words. I thought I can change what I need in bbpress.pot file, but there only English. I totally don’t understand where BBpress takes Russian words. I even tried download language file bbpress-ru_RU.po and changed there, but its didn’t work anyway. I totally confused here BBpress takes Russian words. Which file I should change? And where?
Sharing this here in case anyone else has this issue. It’s a combination of using bbPress with either the bbPress Toolkit or the code snippet to use the TinyMCE editor in place of the standard editor.
When using the TinyMCE editor, clicking “Reply” to a thread (using nested threads) would move the reply box to be under the thread, but the box itself loses the text area so you can’t type anything in.
The workaround is to remove and reenable the TinyMCE instance. In the bbpress/templates/default/js/reply.js file, add these two lines to the “try” block (line 38):
tinymce.get(‘bbp_reply_content’).remove();
tinymce.execCommand(‘mceAddEditor’, false, ‘bbp_reply_content’);

Thanks, Robin. It appears that the Search Everything plugin was causing the bbPress database error also. I’ve removed that plugin now so no longer require that fix (for now). 🙂
My main issue with the forum page not showing the WordPress admin bar when logged in until you refresh the page is still happening with every plugin disabled.
I am new to bbPress, so I am probably just missing a setting.
When a notification to a new reply arrives, the topic url is not active. Members have to copy and paste the url to get to the link.
Have I missed a setting? Or is this just how it should work?

Douglas
Looking for some advice on the best way to tackle this issue while using bbPress. I’m creating a new retailer review site where users will be able to post directly to a retailer’s listing.
using bbPress I have
forum root assigned as Reviews
forum slug assigned as Retailers
New Forum as an example – Retailer-1
so the URL looks like http://www.mysite.com/reviews/retailers/retailer-1/
which is just crazy long. Is there anyway to simply cut out the first two levels in the URL and go directly to retailer-1 within bbPress or is that just the way bbPress makes you do things?
Thanks…
