Hello!

Here is what I see in the fresh bbPress (2.5.8) install on WordPress (4.4.2) with Twenty Sixteen theme: http://goo.gl/XGj6zI
All of the avatars are misaligned. Is there a way to fix this?

Thank you!

Hi, welcome back.
If your subsite is on the same server, towards the same MySQL or MariaDB… then for the performance it will probably not help a lot.
Why not trying to go to the root of the issue and try to reduce the 10s loading to at least 8s so that the extra 2s from bbPress are not adding extra ?

Please note that WordPress requirements/recommendations are on https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/

Some things to check first:
– Have you run all the repair tools of bbpress after import to be sure your structure is optimized ?
– Have you deactivated any not-needed plugin ? Is your theme ready for bbPress ?
– Are you using any cache mechanism to improve speed where possible ?
– Did you try to run performance tools like the P3 plugin performance profiler to narrow down the possible slow parts ?
– What score do you get on gtmetrix.com ? Or what did the pingdom tools indicate ?
– Is it for all people in the world the same ? Check with sucuri performance.
– Some further reading: https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/improving-performance/

If it would come to database queries, also check these plugins:
– https://wordpress.org/plugins/query-monitor/
– https://wordpress.org/plugins/query-monitor-bbpress-buddypress-conditionals/

Then of course there are a list of performance improvements that can be done on caching, offloading, … with plugins like W3 Total cache, batcache, WP Super Cache or other. Also check autoptimize and using cloudflare.

Also note that in the upcoming bbPress v2.6 (hopefully before the end of this year), a lot of focus went on possible performance issues.
Hope it helps,
Pascal.

Hello everyone,

I run a site with quite a heavy theme and 35 plugins, and we had site load times of up to 10s before installing bbpress. Now, with bbpress and its many friendly plugins, on average two more seconds were thrown into the mix. This seems too much.

So I thought: I have a MS installation, why not put the forums into their own subsite (subdomain). Noone will notice if I use the same theme and let the menus crosslink the sites. (Except those who actually look at the URL.)

My question is: Would you do that, too? Because it seems, people in these support forums only ever try to migrate their forums into their blog install, not the other way round. Which, as I would expect, would make things much slower on their end.

Best
Manuel

Hello,
The other night I realized my site was set to the incorrect time zone. After fixing it all the BBPress times for new topics and replies was fixed, but for the old posts, it was still the old time zone. Is there anyway to update all topics/replies time stamp with the current time zone?

Thanks.

Tried the import again and saw some results I hadn’t seen before. The last several lines of the conversion said something about converting anonymous posts. That’s the first time it’s ever done that and it seems to have worked great. 🙂

Now I just have to find a way to convert all of the xenForo bbcode into something that will work in bbpress (such as image attachments).

Thanks for the help!

[berkelmudez]

Thanks for the tip! It’s my bad, I know should’ve checked the plugins and theme first before even asking this.

The plugin that caused thus for me was:’bbpress wp4 fix’.
It’s kinda funny since that plugin was supposed to fix me help some other problem but I can fix that problem without using that plugin so it’s alright.

It’s still didn’t load the right user created topics, favorites and subscriptions but with a bit of tweaks on the loops I got it to display everything correctly now.

Thanks you very much, I guess that makes my problem resolved now for me 🙂

My forum is loading very slowly for some reason. This only started happening today, and I haven’t made any changes. Other pages are loading just fine.

I’m not sure if it’ll be slow if you go to my link as I only have private forums right now. But here’s the link:

http://cocreationcoaching.org/forums/

What might be causing this?

When I say slow, I mean that for me the forum page takes 20 seconds to load. One of my private forums just took over 30 seconds. And again other pages are fine.

If you are on MU, you are on the subsite, right ?

Do you get to the settings ? /wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bbpress
Do you get to the list of forums ? /wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=forum

Ok, so I installed bbPress onto my wordpress platform and then of course activated it. But from there, there is no section to configure it or anything. I read that there was a “forum” area. But I can’t find it anywhere. I have looked under every section and can’t find anything. Please help.

[cybergys]

Any theme would do. Just check if they are woocommerce and bbpress compatible or not!

[Pascal Casier]

For uploading files, the 3 products I know of are ‘GD bbpress Attachments’, ‘Image Upload for BBPress’ and ‘bbPress Multi Image Uploader’. Have a look if it would fit your needs.

If you use BuddyPress as well, then there is also ‘BuddyPress Forum Editor’.

Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

That looks like a plugin or theme issue (I suspect plugin).
Please deactivate all other plugins except bbPress and try again. If it works, restart the plugins one after the other to find the one blocking:

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.

bbpress and buddypress work fine together.

Hi,

I have wordpress 4.4.4 with bbpress 2.5.8 installed with Buddypress 2.5.2 Everything works fine except on my profile page.

If I go to a user profile and go to the tab forums and subtab topics started, it just shows every single topic that has been made and not just the topic that has been started by that user.
Same goes with ‘replies created’, I get to see every single reply beside the user’s replies.
As with favorites and subscribed, All topics besides the favorites will also all still display.
I basically needs all those tabs to display that user’s created topics and replies exactly like here on bbpress.org.

Is there a some settings I need to set? Could buddypress settings have been causing it? Is there some test I can run to see what is it?

[webmedia365]

I have installed bbpress version 2.5.8 it worked fine but when i install buddypress and activate it my site goes dead. Even i can’t access my WordPress dashboard admin login. Then i have to go to my site cpanel and manually delete one of the plugins. After deleting the one plugin site works fine. But I can not use these two plugins at the same time i have to deactivate one to use other. Please help me what to do. I am using WordPress version 4.4.1. My site is http://www.virtualmentoring.net
Please help me out

We have experienced problems to localize some of the bbpress strings with WPML.

The following words on bbpress cannot be translated:
1 topic
1 reply
Topic
Normal
Sticky
Super sticky
Open
Closed
Spam
Trash
Pending

There might be some more parts, however, these are the ones I have discovered as unable to localize. I have browsed the Google and found some links to this forum where there were some discussions about experimemtal WPML plugin for bbpress but that’s it.

Can someone please advice me what can I do to translate these parts? We are really stuck on this issue and it keeps us from publishing our website. Is it possible to localize the forum and rewrite these parts manually? Some .mo or .po edit way?

It is sad that a plugin popular like this is not working with WPML.

Hello,
Actually after further testing, my code above for some reason hid the Forums, Topics, and Replies menu from people who had access to view them. Here is an updated piece of code that does not have this problem.

We have a closed forum at http://www.secretgarden.eu.com using bbPress 2.5.8 , bbPress Notify 0.2.2 , bbP Private Groups 3.1.9 …. a certain person has left the group, they are unchecked as a user for the private group and are no longer visible as a member of the Plan that gives access to the forum. They cannot access the forum so that fits with this. However they are still getting emails on new Topics that are posted. This is embarrassing for them and others. Is there some separate file with email addresses used to send people new topics that has in some way not been updated?

Any help much appreciated

BBPress 2.5.8
Wordpress 4.4.2

I am currently having difficult with something that I think might be simple to configure.

I have a very simple site that is not using any third party or complex permissions settings. I have registered users who are “Contributors” and I am attempting to configure a forum that only members can see.

I have created a new forum.
Settings are as follows:
Type: Forum
Status: Open
Visibility: Private

When you click on the permalink to that forum my site throws back a 404.

When I change the visibility to public the forum works.

Hoping there is some minor configuration I am missing to getting this going and creating a forum that only registered members of the site can view and contribute to?

thank you in advance!

[cassel]

I am trying to start a thread in my own forum, on my own site. I have the Keymaster role, and i have started a similar thread several times without any issue. Today, i can’t get to post. I am logged in. I tried in Chrome and Firefox and it still does not let me.

Was there anything that changed in the last update?
Thanks.

I am using WP 4.4.2 aand bbpress 2.5.8

Hello, first I’d just like to say that I’ve thoroughly searched this issue, on Google and here on the forum, and have found no conclusive answers to this.

Right now I’m noticing tons of p and br tags in bbPress HTML, and I’m confused as to whether this is stemming from wpautop or is actually part of bbPress template files itself.. to test I’ve literally deactivated wpautop itself (and checked site-wide on other pages to verify it was indeed off) and the tags still remain on bbPress pages.

This is making it extremely hard to custom style bbPress while navigating these tags, as they break the layout in needless ways.

Here’s some examples..

Thanks for reading,

We are hosting with WP Engine and used their staging function to create a few new pages, add some plugins, build a pricing table in one of the plugins, and upload a pile of pics to the media library.

Problem is that only the plugins made it over when we migrated without updating tables. So, we aren’t sure which tables to include in the staging migration to the live server without overwriting the forum activity we’ve had in the past week since making the staging environment.

WP Engine isn’t sure either, as they only found a note that BB Press forum topics, replies, etc, are stored in the wp_posts table.

Here are all the tables available for us to migrate over, so any help sorting out which ones would pull over our updates, without overwriting the forum (if that’s at all possible) would be great!

wp_commentmeta
wp_comments
wp_links
wp_options
wp_postmeta
wp_posts
wp_pts_modules
wp_pts_modules_type
wp_pts_tables
wp_pts_usage_stat
wp_taxonomymeta
wp_term_relationships
wp_term_taxonomy
wp_termmeta
wp_terms
wp_usermeta
wp_users
