It 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.

Then come back

I suspect that your theme or another plugin might be interfering.

[Robin W]

ok, so for the header you have

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-header
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-header

and on content you have

#bbpress-forums .bbp-topic-content,
#bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-content

You could also download my style plugin

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

and either use that or look at the styles.php file in the css folder for styling css and use what you need.

[Robin W]

ok, I’d strongly recommend you have a testing site.

Creating a Test Site

Whilst it will take an initial effort to set up, it is well worthwhile

I have WordPress 4.5.3 running AccessPress Pro theme on my site with the latest version of bbpress at 2.5.10.

I have the Search Function in my forum unfortunately the forum is not public. When I try to search, it only searches through the WordPress posts that I’ve created and not through the forum. I’ve searched with words that I know are included in the topics and topic names.

The search is doing the literal opposite of what I want it to do and what it says it should be doing.

probably a conflict –

WordPress Version: 4.5.3
bbPress Version: 2.5.10

Well, this is a strange one. The formatting toolbar (above each editor area with the bold, italics, link, etc. buttons) disappears when someone is logged into my forum.

I have already tried disabling all other plugins, to no avail. No change from clearing my browser’s cache or trying different browsers either.

Any ideas what might be causing this?

I would like the questions to be displayed the same way that on this bbpress forum.
I want them to look very different from replies.
Thanks
Phil

1. On Saturday I installed a bbpress forum at drkkd.com/community/

2. That same day, my pageviews suddenly went up.

3. I can provide screenshots of surge.

4. I noticed that the surge is for one page only – drkkd.com/archives – which leads to homepage.

5. Customers started complaining about website being slow since the install.

6. Then I noticed google analytics showing customer computers loading homepage hundreds of times – again I have screenshot of this.

Seems to me, since installing bbpress, what is happening is that some function within bbpress is calling that page in a loop. It isn’t happening everywhere, so there may be browser dependence.

I use Avada theme with s2member, bbpress, and a few other plugins.

WP version – version 4.5.3

bbpress – Version 2.5.10

Any help will be much appreciated.

Hi Mkpolo,

I think you mean a quoting function, which can atleast be found in https://da.wordpress.org/plugins/gd-bbpress-tools/ both paid and free version.

Hey Guys –

I have a project where its a social community site where all the members create the site content on their own. I have 2 profiles(roles) that all users will fall under (employer & employee). Then I have 3 membership levels for each role (FREE, Standard & Premium). The idea is to pair up these users by category and control the level of access/features they have based on account type. So direct messaging is available only to premium members, push notifications only available to premium members. The more features and ability to build out your profile is based on your membership type. I would obviously add membership plugin to restrict access and capability as well as ecommerce capability for checkout.

I know bbPress and BuddyPress are forums and social communities but will they integrate well into membership type communities where clients need to pay for additional access to social community and forum features?

If not, is there a premium application that handles these types of projects?

Thanks so much!

Hello everyone I have problem after I create topic and UI look wrong result. here what I see when topic was created.

[mkpolo]

Hey guys,

I like bbpress overall, however I’m missing a possibility to reply to a specific message someone posted as a reply within a topic. As in bbpress when one presses reply he’s redirected to the bottom of the page where a reply can be written and posted.

The problems are:
1) User can’t look at the message you’re replying to due to redirect to bottom of the page
2) If a lot of people replied within a certain discussion already one can’t contribute to the message that was posted earlier, sort of missed out on a discussion.

Has anyone managed to get around it? and enable such functionality?

forum search widget doesn’t display. It sould be at the top of the sidebar here:
http://narcissist.staging.wpengine.com/discussions/topic/will-held-moderation/#post-1258

this is 2014 theme with bbpress as the only active plugin.
any thoughts? as the address indicates this is a WP Engine staging site.
thx,
John

Thanks

I’ve spent a long time looking through fixes, and nothing has worked for me so far. Currently I am trying to set up a forum/website. I am using the Twenty Fifteen theme with bbPress, except I am currently on a child theme so I can make changes safely.

The site portion looks fine, but the forum looks awkward:

View post on imgur.com

I would like to stretch out the forum side of this page so the posts take up more space. I don’t want to be scrolling constantly, especially with much larger posts. I think the best way to do this is removing the sidebar from the forum section. After the sidebar is gone, however, I don’t just want the right section to be centered and be the same size. I want it to take up the whole page. I understand this makes accessibility across the site a bit more difficult, but I can figure something out later.

How can I convert (move) individual HTML webpages in bulk into bbpress?

What I have is just the 1000s of html pages which consist of question and answers. Now how can I move then into bbpress.

This is how my question/answer html pages looks like https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4RFn3PmjNy9YTNkbE5mejBfV1U/view?usp=sharing

So now what I have to do exactly? I just want to move the questions and answers. Don’t want user login details or anything else. I have thousands of pages like this.

Based on my experience.. my advice to big forums is to use opcache + apply 1925.4.diff patch and be careful with long threads and too many topics under the same group/section.

I have a website that is 1 yo but already have 27 million posts and is only online because of the 1925.4.diff that bbpress staff/helpers provided here: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1925

(BTW Thank you @netweb for looking at this ticket)

Even with the patch… I have some trouble with long threads using too much cpu… so I’m always closing threads because of that.

I also got in trouble with high cpu load when we have too many topics under the same forum… because of this problem.. from time to time I create new forums and make the old one a “museum”.

My CPU consumption usually varies from 8 to 30. 40-50 on peak days.
Without doing this “hacks” my website can’t survive… because the cpu consumption goes up to 500 until everything crashes.

I have a simple forum with only 1 forum and a couple of topics so far. I set the forum to Private to make it & contents only visible to logged in users. When I load the page, the title shows as “Private: Private: Forum Name”. Is there a way to drop the redundant “Private:”? New user to bbPress, just installed 2.5.10 on WP 4.5.3.

Hi folks,

SMF 2.0.7 to bbpress 2.5.10 import
Wordpress version 4.5.3

I’ve just imported the SMF forums here on my server –

http://www.holistic-counseling.ca/Forums/index.php

to bbpress here on my server:

http://nutopia.cc/Holistic-Counseling-WP/holistic-counseling-community-forums/

you’ll need to login to see.

At first glance, everything appears fine, although the number in the Posts column seems to be a product of adding the number of topics to the number of replies in a given forum. I don’t mind this.
Freshness shows zero, but that’s not a big deal either bc A) I can fix the freshness (but it results in losing posts and replies in the forums. B) Once new forum posts happen, it will repopulate.

now here’s the main issue
Upon clicking on a forum, it says:

This forum contains 8 topics and 15 replies.

Viewing 4 topics – 1 through 4 (of 4 total)

So the top area states how many topics there are accurately but then only 4 are actually displayed.
This problem is consistent across the other forums. (sometimes only 3 or 2 are displayed when more are stated above)

Any idea what that is about? It’s the main issue.

note: i did a repair Recalculate last activity in each topic and forum
and then the bottom forum dropped to 0 and 0.
Any of the forum repairs that I use that involve Topics creates problems in the number of topics and replies and doesn’t fix anything.

HELP is much appreciated.

note 2: here are the messages from the import
(I think nothing appears out of order to me, but maybe there are some issues with this)
