I have tried for months to speed up site but nothing is working. Submitting a post can take 20 sec. everything is slow. Cant find anything to help ive tried 3 host’s VPS, CDN Everything and still slow. Seems switching now wont be easy but im loosing members due to speed. Anyone have link to anyone who can help? or is switching to another forum software only answer? I tested regular forum software and is instant response but i see no easy way to convert the bbpress forums 🙁
vpinball.com is the site
yes this is a known issue
see
http://www.rewweb.co.uk/bbpress-wp4-fix/
and/or
http://www.rewweb.co.uk/bbpress-wp4-fix2/
there’s a trac ticket for it somewhere, but bbpress authors see it as a wordpress fix
Hi,
this is my site
VIRTUAL PINBALL
is possible to put live notification for replies in top menu?
thank you
Tom
Hmm, I also just noticed that some topics from the migrated database with only a few pages (4 pages in the one I just tested) don’t seem to have this issue.
I designed some the forum topics to be long, ongoing threads. For example, we have a “Music” thread that currently has 7,674 replies (15 per page, so 512 pages total). Could the issue simply be that the thread is so large, that bbPress somehow doesn’t do the calculation?
I have read in some support threads about issues with pagination on bbPress when dealing with large numbers, perhaps it is related to that?
Some additional details that may be related: I have nested replies turned off (and they were never turned on). Also, all of my categories are set to hidden.
Hi Stephen
Just to let you know I’ve tried 2.6 alpha and the result is even worse in terms of post authors.
I’ve got plenty of anonymous and mismatching authors.
What I’ve noticed it’s again the same behaviour: several converted posts have an associated author id that is either 0 or that matches the author id of the imported forum.
Example:
PhpBB post’s author id is 1102
WP converted post’s author id is 1102 when it should be 18044
I’ve created a table that translates the phpbb user id to the bbpress user id by joining on email address. This in theory can allow me to set the post_author to the appropriate value.
The problem is to spot the affected posts.
I am trying a mix of criteria, by looking at the post creation date, user ip, etc. but it’s no simple.
I would be happy to provide additional info if you want.
Regards,
Gio

ok, thanks – sorry it’s sometimes hard to understand the obvious until you see it !
so I’m presuming that there should be some content to that post?!
bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes
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.

have you amended any files in bbpress?
So I went ahead and decided to launch my site with this bug still present.
I have been trying to isolate the cause of this issue, and I think I have found some common traits about the threads it seems to affect. It seems that only the threads that were migrated from my previous forum (SMF) that have been replied to after the migration are missing the “/page/##/” piece of the URL. So newly created threads always have the “/page/##/” piece of the URL, and old threads from before the migration that haven’t been replied to since the migration to bbPress also always have the correct URLs being generated.
I have tried running all of the repair tasks that should be related, but none of them seem to make any difference.
Does this sound like anything anyone has experiences with the bbp_topic_freshness_link() function?
I’m setting up my BBPress forum right now.
Looking at BBPress roles… is there a way to tie BBPress roles to WP user roles.
For example, I would like my WP editors to automatically be BBPress moderators, and for contributors and subscribers to be BBPress participants.
Is that possible?

Hi,
The error message below keeps coming when I work in the wp-dashboard. It prevents me i.e. from do a simple search in posts. Instead of the searh result I’m sent to a page with the following message:
Warning: in_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, null given in /home/salesage/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/functions.php on line 1446
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/salesage/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/functions.php:1446) in /home/salesage/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1171
Do anybody have any idea what this means and how to fix it?
Best wishes
Lars
Here is some CSS to float the forum subscribe link to the right. You can also just display in block to make the link just have its own row.
https://codex.bbpress.org/layout-and-functionality-examples-you-can-use/#17-move-subscribe-to-right-hand-side
This css will fix some padding issues for lists in your bbPress forum.
#bbpress-forums li {
padding-bottom: 0;
}
Since I couldn’t really read what was in the red oval I hope this helps.
tvirtual – did you ever get this resolved? Sounds like you need to be using the aMember login form, not bbPress login form.
I have integrated the two scripts nicely and would be glad to help (if you still need it). aMember support through tickets is also top notch.
The unit tests are passing, so my guess is that it’s a problem with a plugin, or (less likely) your PHP setup. The $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] doesn’t include the protocol (http:// or https:// in most cases), so that shouldn’t be an issue.
My guess is that there is some other plugin that’s filtering bbp_get_do_not_reply_address incorrectly. Maybe even some code in your theme’s functions.php file. Could provide a list of the plugins you’re using. Specifically, bbPress or email related plugins?
whilst forums are part of bbpress – I think this is a buddypress question – try posting on there

Hello,
I have heard from my visitors that they have problem to register to the forum on pc/laptop, but it works fine on mobile devices (for some visitors). They face a blank page saying “Blocked”
Personally, I do not face this problem.
I have read other possible solutions to this problem on the bbPress forum, but none of them have solved my issue.
WP version: 4.5.2
bbPress version: 2.5.9

Thanks in advance,
Amin
Hi Schoelje,
Tnx for your help. I’ve imported my database from phpBB succesfully using the 2.6 alpha version of BBpress.
grtz

[I am just creating a new topic about this]
I’ve finally completed the conversion (took only 8 hours against the 2 days of the previous versions).
Nevertheless, big problem here: I can see no forum after the conversion.
I’ve been checking the database schema in which wordpress is installed and nothing….
I can only find an empty wp_bbp_converter_translator table and for the rest: no users converted, no posts, no forum and topics tables.
Does someone has any idea why this happened?
It actually looked like it was converting something and the number of interactions I’ve seen in the log during the conversion matches the actual numbers in PhpBB.
I would appreciate if someone can help.
Thanks,
Gio
Hi Everyone!
I’m very new to bbPress. It looks great for what I currently need, but it doesn’t work on any mobile devices such as iphone ipads etc! What’s up with that?
My site is http://clarineat.com/forums
I have the genesis theme installed with an Appendipity pod casting child theme.
Thank you for any thoughts!
@arutam if you want flaunt your forum in Pimp your Press and I will check it out there.
Try some plugin and theme troubleshooting since this is the most common.
