It look like the authors off BBpress ignore an very big problem that the performance goes bad on big forums.
They can’t test this, because they have no big testforum, so they think BBpress is fast enough, but it isn’t

PLEASE PUT YOUR TIME IN THIS PROBLEM, IF YOU WILL MAKE BBPRESS GROW.

Take a look of my forum. 1100000 posts, 72000 topics, 50000 members.

Hello –

I’ve created a copy of bbpress.css in my child theme’s folder, but edits to this file don’t seem to be taking precedence over the child theme’s css file. Possibly something to do with the enqueue function in the child theme’s functions file, but I don’t know enough about that to check that.

I’m using WP version 4.6.1, bbPress version 2.5.11 and a custom child theme. The site’s forum page is here: http://www.amersa.org/forums.

The child theme functions file includes this function:

if (!function_exists(‘inspiry_enqueue_child_styles’)) {
function inspiry_enqueue_child_styles(){
if ( !is_admin() ) {
// dequeue and deregister parent default css
wp_dequeue_style( ‘parent-default’ );
wp_deregister_style( ‘parent-default’ );

// dequeue parent custom css
wp_dequeue_style( ‘parent-custom’ );

// parent default css
wp_enqueue_style( ‘parent-default’, get_template_directory_uri().’/style.css’ );

// parent custom css
wp_enqueue_style( ‘parent-custom’ );

// child default css
wp_enqueue_style(‘child-default’, get_stylesheet_uri(), array(‘parent-default’), ‘1.1’, ‘all’ );

// child custom css
wp_enqueue_style(‘child-custom’, get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . ‘/child-custom.css’, array(‘child-default’), ‘1.1’, ‘all’ );

}
}
}

Is this what’s causing the issue? Thanks.

theme and bbpress both displaying

you can turn off the bbpress breadcrumbs using

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

or by using the style pack plugin

I’d like to stop our forum from link spamming by allowing only some level of users can post links in their posts, which plugin of bbpress can do this?

[eapapyrus]

Hello,
Thank you for your reply.
It would be the same for the plugin “Image Upload for BBPress” (plugin that gives the possibility to integrate an image in the commentary without creating an account)?

To check the messages posted, I installed the plugin “bbPress moderation”; the admin has thus the ability to accept – or refuse – the message before putting it online. We wish to give the possibility to download pdf and images; do you have advice to you give us?

Thanks for your help.

I’ve only thought about it briefly, you’d need to write a set of custom templates so that everything passed the AMP specs https://www.ampproject.org/docs/guides/responsive_amp

I know bbPress uses CSS’ !important in a few places so that we can force a few things for our “template compatibility” in supporting as many themes as we do, you can't use!important` with AMP: https://www.ampproject.org/docs/guides/responsive/style_pages

Apart from that issue of the top of my head, I don’t see why it couldn’t be done 🙂

[shenll]

Hi Everyone,
How to implement google AMP for bbpress forum?

[reedy]

Those patches are over two years old. I’m running the latest version of bbpress and still have this issue. Do I need to apply the patches above to core? Why aren’t they in the current stable release?

[u_Oi]

An easy way to find bbpress themes is looking for wordpress themes with their own bbpress template (theme).

To difficult find just a bbpress theme.

You can also use a WordPress default theme and customize your bbpress through child themes or a custom css plugin.

@consultjoseph @siparker Sorry it took me so long to respond to you guys.

I am using the version of this plugin I put on Github in a beta test of a site I’m moving from Joomla to WordPress. I’m using WordPress 4.6.1 and bbPress 2.5.11.6121 and am using a child theme of Twentysixteen.

The biggest thing is that with the version of the plugin I’m using, bbPress Settings need to be adjusted:

1. Go into Forum Settings and set “Forum Root” to “forums”
2. UN-check Forum Prefix – you do NOT want to prefix all forum content the Forum Root Slug
3. Make sure that the Single Forum Slug for “Forum” is “forum”

Next, go into Permalink Settings:

1. Under Common Settings, select “Post Name”
2. Save changes

If you don’t set or RESET your permalinks, you will get 404s! But if you reset your permalinks after activating the plugin, everything will work.

I expect to take my beta site live within a week or so; when I do I’ll provide a link to the permanent live site so you can see the bbPress URLs in action.

[themichaelglenn]

Don’t know if anyone else has (or will have) this same problem, but I have a Category that has probably 60-70 forums, and I anticipate adding more in the future.

Like the OP, I was also only showing the first 50 forums on the category index page.

I used @casiepa ‘s filter but I had to fix the typography (I think that’s the right word?) Not sure because I’m still new to all this and completely self-taught, so there’s lots I don’t know but what I do know is the following code WORKS! (On bbPress 2.5.11-6121.)

// filter to show more than 50 forums on the index page
function casiepa_increase_forum_per_page( $args = array() ) {
   $args['posts_per_page'] = get_option( '_bbp_forums_per_page', 100 );
return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_before_has_forums_parse_args', 'casiepa_increase_forum_per_page' );

[senatorman]

Nobody like this?

Am i the only one with a huge bbpress forum?

[Robin W]

that pipe is from the admin links and seems to be an extra one.- not sure why this appears for you – could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

That will hopefully tell you what is causing it

[Master]

Twenty Sixteen
http://prntscr.com/df52hr
http://prntscr.com/df52lj

And i try on Twenty Fifteen and Twenty Fourteen work fine on localhost.
Maybe theme put styles in <?php wp_footer(); ?>
try to remove <?php wp_footer(); ?> from bbpress.php and view did work.

[Stephen Edgar]

Sorry, but the bbPress team has no access to WLM whatsoever, we cannot do anything about it.

If WLM state they support bbPress and bbPress’ roles and capabilities implementation then they should document that and help their _paying_ customers.

[akgt]

Any good free bbpress themes ?

[YoWangdu]

Thanks Stephen. I’m assuming, for no good reason, that the issue is at the intersection of the two. I also posted the question at WLM. Documentation very sparse as the ability to use WLM with BBPress is relatively new. I did a fair number of Google searches with no luck. One reason I think it is BBPress because it is specifically the edit function. Everything else seems to work fine. In BBPress, does someone have to be a particular user level to edit? My WLM members are all set at a “Participant” level of user, which is pretty low in the WLM hierarchy.

[Stephen Edgar]

This sounds like it’s a Wishlist Member issue not a bbPress issue.

Does WLM have any documentation on using WLM with bbPress?
(All I could find was http://customers.wishlistproducts.com/?s=bbpress)

As it is a paid plugin I don’t have access to it, I assume you get official support from WLM as you have paid for it though.

[akgt]

Im wanting to add a forum to my wordpress site, I dont know how much it will grow but i want it to be flexible, i’m not a coder or designer, I only know the basics,

I know in the past bbpress had a lot of issue and was lacking in features but i’m assuming this must be possible now.

Im wanting a good looking full featured forum as good as any stand alone forum(xenforo, phpbb, mybb).

can this be done ?
if so how ?
How can I add the extra feature without bloating the site ?
Can i download any pre made bbpress.css ?

any good example

[YoWangdu]

Hi,

I am using Wishlist Member(WLM) to protect my BBPress forum. My members cannot edit their posts, though they are attempting to do so well within the 60 minute editing time limit. They get this error from WLM, ““You are here: Home / Oops! Wrong Membership Level

Oops! Wrong Membership Level
The content you’re trying to view is for members of a different course.
We welcome you to join all of our courses!”

Can anyone help?
Thanks!

[Robin W]

ok, untested but try

wp-content/plugins/bbpress\templates\default\bbpress\form-search.php

copy to your PC and

line 17

<input tabindex="<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>" class="button" type="submit" id="bbp_search_submit" value="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Search', 'bbpress' ); ?>" />

change to

<input tabindex="<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>" class="button" type="submit" id="search_submit" value" />

save this file to

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/form-search.php

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

@robin-w

I disabled all plugins except bbpress and still it looks like the standard version.

There are no other loop-forums.php files in my directory. What should i do? I’m really out of idea’s man.

Isn’t there a small chance you can take 10-15 minutes to look trough skype? I’ll give you access to my wordpress.

Thomas

[Robin W]

you could try uploading it to the main bbpress templates

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-forums.php

But you will need to remember that any updates to bbpress will overwrite this, and you’ll need to repeat.

Otherwise suggest you search your site for loop-forums.php to see if any other instances are on it. If you overwrite them with the style pack version, then it must take effect at some point !

[Robin W]

in the file

bbpress\includes\common\shortcodes.php and amend the ‘bbp-single-forum’ shortcode
