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.

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?

any thoughts? as the address indicates this is a WP Engine staging site.

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.
user test
p/w 123456

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)

FYI https://wordpress.org/plugins/eighties-bbpress/ is a fantastic example of overriding bbPress templates using a plugin 🙂

[Stephen Edgar]

https://wordpress.org/support currently runs bbPress 1.x, the plan to upgrade to 2.x is expected to be finished by the end of August.

w.org has ~8 million users, ~2 million topics, and ~7 million posts, we don’t expect any issues here, bbPress 2.6 includes lots of performance tweaks and as @siparker mentioned lots of importer improvements also.

[Stephen Edgar]

It is possible, but would require some custom code, it’s doable, but more coding than just a couple of snippets here to help you out.

An alternative way to what you’ve asked though is kind of shipping with bbPress 2.6. We’ve added support for “per forum moderators”, so you could create a “private” forum and give a single user moderator access to that forum, likewise another forum for another user, and then your site moderators could be moderators of all those “user forums”. This would be dependant upon how many users you have as this would be a manual setup.

I’d suggest reading the docs, theres a good index of some “Getting started” docs here:

Hello
I am beginner, and wanted to edit topic descriptions please tell me exact path from where it is coming, I am using Emmet LiteVersion: 1.4.3 theme and latest version of bbpress.

[TruthPraiser]

Hi
I want to show all forums list in widget, but bbPress default widget show only the 50 forums name that sorted with alphabetic characters.

[superaven]

Hi Siparker,

Thanks for taking time out to reply and pass along insight. I think I’ll likely hold off a bit longer as I’m weary about whether this is ready for prime time on a really big forum (6.5m comments, 150k+ users). Honestly I don’t need all the bells and whistles so long as the links and pages are SEO friendly and there are robust moderation tools. Rest is just simple comment posting with some options for emoji’s, links, and photo / video embeds and uploads. Oh, and import tools!

I would truly love to migrate over to BBPress. The lack of a performance optimized forum option is a huge void in the WordPress platform IMO. I believe once they get this sorted out and stable, that along with WooCommerce, it makes WordPress the only real player out there for the most part.

Look forward to see this project mature, but can’t say it hasn’t been difficult remaining patient for the last two years as I wait for this to evolve to a point that it’s usable for us.

I recently moved VB to bbpress for my forum.
i pruned a lot before moving.
9k users now.
20k topics
115k replies

I managed the import ok. the key to this is pateiance to a certain degree. the 2.6 alpha i am running worked better for the import than 2.5

However. if moving from VB your in for a bit of a shock. as it does not work the same way. so please do double check everythign before you move. one of my other posts has a plugin to create VB like urls as i came from vbseo across to bbpress which has a very different hierarchy.
however it does put your forum into wordpress which opens up amny other options. which is why i did it.

If you need any help let me know and i will do what i can to advise what i ahve done / used to make bbpress more like vb.

Two major things to not do
Do not leave the default notifications enabled when you move the forum. mine sent every notification ever out again. somethign like 250k emails got sent every time i did the import.
And on top of that i had several test versions so by the time i realised i had well and truly pissed a lot of people off.
Secondly the basic spam filters bbpress uses are different to how vb works and will possibly block some users. I know new moderation stuff is due in the near future but its not in yet so the spam options available are a bit difficult to work with.

Hello

English is not my forte. I will try to write you understand what I mean and what I want and something advise.

We’re going to be a big project. We establish mmporg page in which guild will have its pages, posts and also their forum and all in one website.

BbPress will do together with Budypress.

I set up the group in Buda press and there a separate forum, but can not add multi layer one major forum in the forum. It has to do administration on the bulletin board in WordPress.

Assign rights administrators with limited options, but the problem is that it can delete all topics and I do not want it. It may read topics.

I want to set that could delete your own topics and dirty.

I adjusted the law in the bbPress code, such as false and true, may well lubricated.

I just want that each guild had their own separate forum and in which their users and manage this forum only. The others can not do.

Thank you

[superaven]

Wondering if there’s been any progress with this? Sort of bummed that version 2.6 isn’t out even though it’s mentioned as a solution in this thread I started 2+ years ago.

Been struggling with WordPress x Xenforo integration and have literally bought every commercial bridge addon / plugin and have spent thousands of dollars hiring sys admins and developers to try and make it work. Best case scenario is it works until the next update and then it’s borked again. Most are one way bridges so they force logins / registrations through Xenforo, which also sucks.

Honestly BBPress is the last hope as far as the exhaustive reserach I’ve done on the subject, but it’s dead on arrival for anyone running a high traffic forum. Almost tempted to drop WordPress, but nothing else with forum integration comes close.

Anyone have any type of news beyond try the alpha version and report issues?

Thanks.
