Thank you for your responses. Yes, I do have SMTP plugin in place and Email Log shows the traffic.

I do know one of our admins clicked Subscription links, which I can confirm in the bbP Manage Subscriptions 1.2.0 interface yet she is not getting any notification when I create a new topic or replying to any topic. This I can confirm with Email Log.

On the other hand, bbPress Notify (No-Spam) 1.10 does what it says it do, that I can confirm with Email Log. Any idea?

P.S., disabling bbPress Notify (No-Spam) 1.10 didn’t give me any improvement, by the way 🙁

[Pascal Casier]

The basics: Every user has to click on ‘Subscribe’ on top of the forum to get an email in case of new topics in the forum. Every user has to tick at the bottom when giving a reply to get other replies and follow the topic. You never receive emails for your own stuff.
With the bbP toolkit you can tick automatically.
With the bbP Manage Subscriptions, you can see what users are subscribed.
The Asyncronous subscriptions should help you for some issues that are known.

Not sure it in a similar setup it was not bbPress Notify that was conflicting with async bbPress subscriptions, but I would first ask you to use an SMTP plugin so you can see the logs (I use SMTP Postman, but there are others). Check the logs to see if something goes out and if the from and to are correct.

Then also check SPAM of course in arrival in your mailbox.

Hope you find something,
Pascal.

Hello!

My WordPress is very slow since Woocommerce and Memberships are activated at the same time. When I say slow, I mean that it takes around 20sec to load a page from the Dashboard.

When I deactivate Memberships, everything is back to normal. When I activate Memberships but deactivate bbPress, everything is back to normal.

I saw on the wordpress.org that i’m not the only one having performance problems with Memberships and bbPress but nobody found a solution.

I tried to install bbPress 2.6 Alpha but it doesn’t work.

What can I do?

Thanks a lot

Hi, I am new to WP so appreciate your patience.

I need to have BBP subscribers notified of new forum/topic and/or replies but not sure how to make it work. I’d had thought the fact each Forum has “Subscribe” option made me think it would notify by email out of the box.

SMTP is working. In fact, bbPress Notify (No-Spam) works, but it sends out to hardcoded recipients, not subscribers who chose to subscribe specific Forum.

Added issue here is I have 2 private groups. So the notification really has to be subscribers choice per Forum.

WP4.4.2
BBP 2.5.8
So far I have
AsynCRONous bbPress Subscriptions 2.1
bbP Manage Subscriptions 1.2.0
bbP private groups 3.1.9
bbP Toolkit 1.0.6
bbPress Notify (No-Spam) 1.10
Better Notifications for WordPress 1.3.9.5
topic subscribe 1.0

I understand the bbPress Notify has paid plugins to respect the private group and user opt-out, but this is a non-profit organization and everything is coming out of my pocket.

Hope someone could point me to a right direction. Here is the URL
http://jazztokyo.org/forums/
but you won’t see all the forums in the private groups.

Thank you in advance.

P.S., yes it is reproducible with TwentySixteen.

Hi,

I want to remove the BBPress plugin from my site, because the forum is an unpopular part of the site, but when I deactivate it the whole site stops working! All I see is a blank, grey page.

Kind regards

Hey Stephen,

I really appreciate your help! 🙂

Probably the most noticeable issue after the import are the attachments. They are basically a number with opening and closing ATTACH bbcodes. For example:
[ATTACH=full]872[/ATTACH]
In xenForo, this links to attachments/photo-jpg.872

Then there are the quotes to other posts. These simply just come in as text and the post IDs don’t match those in bbpress. In xenForo, the quoted posts link back to the post that was quoted. For example, here is an imported post with a quote:
http://surveyorconnect.com/portal/index.php/forums/topic/july-2015-photo-submittal/#post-1647874
and here is the original post in xenForo:
http://surveyorconnect.com/threads/july-2015-photo-submittal.323039/#post-331560

I’ve also noticed that soft deleted posts (only viewable by mods and admins) in xenForo are coming in as public posts.

I realize I may be asking for too much, but I figure it doesn’t hurt to ask. 😉 I do understand though if it’s just not possible. I’ll keep looking around for other bbcodes as well.

Thanks!

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!

[Pascal Casier]

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.

[Wendell]

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 🙂

[Brandon Olivares]

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.

[Pascal Casier]

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

[gurokevin]

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.

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
