Hi Robin,

I just installed BBPress onto the website maybe 3 weeks ago with a brand new WordPress installation. It’s been happening since inception.

Its not happening for the keymaster account, but it’s happening for everyone else.

Hi,
Thinking of how bbPress is structured, you would need to create a new topic for every forum.

can someone help me? I can not make the trek to bbPress

…and finally, congrats to the development team, your performance enhancements to bbpress are significant. Keep em coming, we need it!!!!

[5lions]

Here is the original graph.

View post on imgur.com

That massive CPU use that was bringing the site to a crawl and destroying this brand new server that ONLY has this single forum running on is, is due to wordpresses terrible idea of using /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php to poll the shit out of the server for bad reasons 24/7 any time someone has a page open.

Also partially due to bbpress slowness.

That first large drop in cpu you see, and the subsequent large drop to the end of the graph is me completely blocking admin-ajax.php in nginx until I can figure out how to make it work smarter.

All the latest heartbeat plugins do no seem to work with the latest wordpress. Cannot slow down the heartbeat or turn it off, so I filtered it.

This is really bad, because I have a community website that allows people to post photos and videos (outside the forum with custom post types) and all of that is broken with admin-ajax.php being blocked.

Seems no one has successfully solved this issue well on the internet 🙁

As to performance
——————-
This same site used to run on vanilla forums on a 2 cpu box with 4 gigs of ram very FAST.

The wordpress/bbpress version runs on a 6 cpu, 12gig box which also includes php 7 upgrade.
PHP7 is a huge speed improvement over 5.6.

This new machine literally only had this one site on it.

The old box was somewhat shared with the vanilla forum.

So even with effectively double the power, if not more, this runs substantially slower on wordpress/bbpress *sigh*

I just have to accept I need to pay triple the price for half the performance if I want to stick to wordpress.

Unless bbpress some day decides to have its own tables, and re-architect specifically for forum performance, were stuck with this. That of course would break a ton of plugins with the whole “share everything via the posts table architecture”.

May be worth it though. There is a big opportunity here to take over the forum world because its frankly is disarray. All the forum software out there is in a state of suck or dying and there is no clear winner. The integration with wordpress, and its zillion plugins, are what makes this performance sacrifice barely worth it.

Hi,
That will need some programming probably. The starting point has nothing to see with bbPress, so you could refer to these examples as this is all about the WP admin bar: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_node

Hey Guys,

maybe you can help me. I registrate now a new subdomain on my Homepage. I installed there a new version of Wp. After them i download the bbpress Plugin and everything works fine in the installation. Now when i go to “Forum” it jumps zu a empty page that says “The site http://www.gamingtournamentleague.com does not work”. Wenn i go the “New Forum” i can add a Forum but wenn i go than to preview it shows me again “The site http://www.gamingtournamentleague.com does not work”.

I changed the theme, i also deleted the plugin and i use shortcodes but nothing works…

Theme: Twenty Eleven
WP: 4.7.3
bbpress: 2.5.12
My Subdomain: http://www.gamingtournamentleague.com/register

@guybrushpixelwood – thanks for posting this, that is really useful.

Howevber it will get overridden by bbpress updates, so either have that file in a bbpress folder in your child theme

Functions files and child themes – explained !

or put this function in your child theme’s functions file

add-action ('bbp_theme_after_reply_admin_links' , 'gbpw_add_ratings' ) ;

function gbpw_add_ratings () {
	if(function_exists('the_ratings')) { 
		echo '<span class="bbp-admin-links">' ;
		the_ratings(); 
		echo '</span>' ;
	}
}

Hi, I want to migrate from xenForo bbPress, as wordpress settings – Forum – matter, I enter the xenForo databases but in the end gives me the seguante message:

Repair any missing information: Continue

Hi,
the ‘locks up’ makes it still extremely difficult for us to troubleshoot…
What version of WP and bbPress ?
What errors do you get ?
If you run with a provider, did you ask statistics about network, database usage ? Or you have a backend where you can see that for yourself ?

[Robin W]

hmmm….you can add lots of css to lots of stuff. suspect you’d need to invest some time in sau adding firebug for firefox and using that to examine and change css elements.

This may also help

bbPress Styling Crib

[guybrushpixelwood]

If somebody stumble upon the same problem here is a solution to get Wp PostRatings Plugin Stars into bbpress topics:

wp-content/plugins/bbress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php <–

Search for the line

<?php bbp_reply_admin_links(); ?>

and place this under it:

<span class="bbp-admin-links">
		<?php if(function_exists('the_ratings')) { the_ratings(); } ?>
 </span>

WP Version : 4.73
BBPress Version : 2.5.12

Hi,

I got an issue which start to make me crazy…

I moved to another shared hosting company and since I did that, my users can’t see the Edit buttn anymore :

Moderators and administrators have no problems at all, they see correctly all the moderation tools.

And if a simple user want to edit his post, it’s possible by reaching the link http://mysite.com/forum/topic/edit/ so the rights are correct.

It is now 1 week I’m working on it, s let me try to list what I’ve already done :

– Disabled all plugins / themes : NOK
– Started a fresh version of WP + BBPress : OK
– Linked my current DB to the fresh install : NOK

So I started to think about something strange into the DB, which I can’t find.

I mounted a local version of my site on Wamp too and found another interesting thing, If I run it with PHP 5.6, the EDIT button don’t appear and if I switch t PHP 7, miracle, it shows up!!

BUT

If I switch between all the php versions available (php 5.3 to 7.1) on my new hosting : the edit button is still invisible.….

AND

If I switch php 5.6 to PHP 7 on my old hosting : the edit button disapear….

I really need help, I’m lost and my users are getting very annoyed with this issue.

Thanks in advance for your support!

[Robin W]

given that wordpress uses bbpress, suspect loads more than 50 !

care to define what ‘the forum crashes’ actually means ?

[gbxdigital]

Hello BBpress

When we have 50+ users online at any one time the forum crashes, what can be done?
How many users can bbpress handle at once?

Hello all,

I ma trying to change just the page title for the Forums archive but not finding anything that is current and works.

Is there possibly a modern day version of @lynq ‘s code that works with WP 4.7.3 and bbpress 2.5.12?
Or am I doing something wrong?

I’ve tried it and other variations gleaned from other posts like these:

functions.php
add_filter( ‘bbp_get_forum_archive_title’, ‘ddw_bbpress_change_forum_archive_title’ );
function ddw_bbpress_change_forum_archive_title() {
return ‘Your Forums Archive Title Here’;

and

single.php
<?php if ( is_front_page() ) { ?>
<h1 class=”entry-title”></h1>
<?php } else if (get_post_type() == ‘forum’) { ?>
<h1 class=”entry-title”>Forum Title</h1>
<?php } else { ?>
<h1 class=”entry-title”><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<?php } ?>

The functions.php breaks WP and the single.php or forums.php does nothing.

Any pointers would be great,

Thanks

Hi @thebrandonallen,

What version of bbPress are you actually running? 2.6a
Are you running any plugins that make use of new features and functions of 2.6? I don’t know, I am using buddypress and a bunch of other plugins which I don’t think use ay bbpress functionality
Have you made any customizations to your theme that make use of new features and functions of 2.6? yes I did, but it’s more about styles and elements visibility

Thanks

[giobby]

Hi John,

I am realising now my post it’s not really useful considering the way I wrote it and I should have thought twice before publishing it. In fact I may have given the wrong impression. Let me elaborate….

Basically my users are facing some issue in terms of sudden disconnections/logouts and phantom posts (e.g. they create posts and forums and then they “lose” them or they cannot find them anymore).

I have never faced these issues myself, but it’s also true I don’t access my forum often.
Also, considering that I am using other plugins, I cannot be sure bbPress is actually the main reason behind the issues.

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.

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.

Meanwhile, what do you suggest to make my users happy?
I am tempted to rollback to phpBB but I am also aware the resulting user experience would be quite disconnected.

Any idea on how could I make bbPress more PHPBB-Like?

Thanks,

Gio

I am also anxious to learn how to do this. I’d settle for learning how to customize the default bbpress pages, if it’s not possible to redirect. This seems extremely fundamental, but I can’t find any answers.

[Brandon Allen]

Downgrading is possible, but how it could be a lot of work.

1. What version of bbPress are you actually running? You say alpha, but there have been betas released.
2. Are you running any plugins that make use of new features and functions of 2.6?
3. Have you made any customizations to your theme that make use of new features and functions of 2.6? I’ve seen at least one theme that requires 2.6 for bbPress support. Is this th
4. I’ve seen at least one theme that requires 2.6 for bbPress support. Is this the case with your theme?

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
BuddyPress has this built in. If you use plain bbPress, there should be plugins around for bbPress 2.5 . I have added basic mentionning in my bbP Toolkit plugin if it can help you.

[Robin W]

always happened? Just started happening? new site ? old site ? Just when in bbpress ? when in everything ?

Thanks
I could do it with
