Hello!

Our site is getting ready to launch soon and I’ve built out the forum structure to our liking but in testing we see that posting a new topic or replying to a topic in CERTAIN FORUMS can take up to 20 seconds after hitting submit for the post to save and appear. In all other forums it takes only 3 seconds. While I wish both were faster, how do we figure out what the 20 second delay is about?

Add this to the mix: Deleting a reply on the backend for the slow forum also takes 20 seconds compared to 3 seconds to delete for other forums…

20 second to post topic and delete reply forums:

Thank you for your help 🙂

I’m curious if this is normal — loading up the bbpress templates takes over 4 seconds, as shown in my New Relic traces in this attached image. This is consistent in multiple transaction traces…

bbpress seems to be really a dog for some reason. My system is a Linode 12 core 32GB. That should be more than enough horsepower…

I’m not caching pages for logged in users, but utilizing xcache and W3 Total Cache for object caching…and CloudFlare for CDN

First thing… can you try in bbPress 2.6 ? This version is almost going to be released and it offers better importing features. https://bbpress.org/download/

Hello,

I am trying to import a vbulletin 4.2.2 installation into bbpress and it fails importing the replies without leaving me errors, it just hangs and keeps posting dashes (-) into the progress logs even after stopping it and resuming.

Wordpress and bbpress versions are the latest available as of today 20th of March 2016.

Our vbulletin database has around 11000 users, 600 sub-forums, 30000 threads and around 800000 posts

As the work is being done in local before atempting it on the server i am unable to give links.

If in need of more informations let me know

Thanks in advance for the support

Regards

OK, started my own topic as I was, obviously, not clear enough for my question. I thought it would have been a simple tweak (for someone who know what they’re doing) of this code but, apparently not.

How to set single default thumbnail for all “topic” content types?

Ciao,

Hello,
Site is still a little unstable, but I think it is good enough to get this problem fixed.
Just so we all understand, here is what is going on. The menu is designed to open on mouse hover and then close when the mouse pointer leaves the menu. On mobile devices such as phones and tablets, you cannot close the menu because clicking Options opens it. We need to add some additional code to first check if the menu is open, if not, on click open it, if so, on click close it. Would this be a doable task?

You do have to login to see the options menu, this user account will be deleted as soon as we are done using it.

2.6 is incredibly stable, its nearing, and has been, pretty close to being ready for release for quite some time, bbpress.org and wordpress.org are using 2.6 perfectly if that helps.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
Check this out: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/search-option/
Hope it helps, Pascal

[Pascal Casier]

Is that on a public site ? Then a link would be great.
I need to understand is that is the bbPress search or the WordPress search.

Pascal.

[titis14]

Thank you how not to have the search bar ?

[Sziban]

Thank you Stephen!

Thank you for detailed answer. Only one more question: It is very important for me that the forum must be very stable and perfect to use by our visitors. Isn’t it hazardous to use the bbPress 2.6-alpha version instead of the stable bbPress 2.5.8 version?

Welcome!

This problem has persisted for maybe two years with regular updates of WP and bbPress. Now that I really need to move some posts, I’m finally getting around to asking for help…

A misconfiguration on the server caused a hiccup. Check the server logs, fix the problem, then try again. URL: http://____/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=reply

I tried nearly all of the repair tools without success. If there is an error in the php file, how can I fix it?

Many thanks for your help, Anna

I’m not, I am using a child theme of Twenty Twelve that I’ve been creating.

I actually got this figured out, on a whim I decided to try your $args[‘type’] = ‘list’; again and for whatever reason this time it worked. I don’t know if I may have just overlooked it the first time, or what.

My function:

function bbp_custom_pagination_links( $args ) {
    $args['type'] = 'list';
    return $args;
}
add_filter ('bbp_topic_pagination','bbp_custom_pagination_links');

I will still have to go through and do the same thing for other instances of pagination within bbPress, but that has worked for the topic list. It’s just a matter of styling the list elements with CSS at that point to get them aligned horizontally.

Thanks for all of your help, I really do appreciate it.

[Stephen Edgar]

Right, clear as mud then 😉 But this does sound like this is the expected behaviour 🙂

Trivia: bbPress.org theme here shows both @username and “Display Name” because people used to try and ping me via @Stephen Edgar, rather than @netweb, hence we added both to the template loops 🙂

[Stephen Edgar]

@ sziban Cool, 1st up, you should use the development version bbPress 2.6-alpha, it has some improvements for anonymous users, you can get it from https://bbpress.org/download/

Take a look at the phpBB and SMF importers for good examples:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/includes/admin/converters/phpBB.php
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/includes/admin/converters/SMF.php

In particular, the following was added to add support to import topics and replies from “anonymous” users.

So rather than trying to import each of your legacy anonymous users as WordPress users the changes above will assign each of them to the built in bbPress anonymous user, and assign the “legacy” “nickname” to the imported topic or reply, its kind of cool and I’m pretty sure it will do what you are after.

Let me know how it goes or any other questions you may have 🙂

Hello,
I have this code that I used to create a custom BBPress options menu. It works great. The only thing it does not do is close on a mobile device when the options menu is clicked again. Could you please help me add this functionality?

functions.php code

/* Custom BBPress admin links menu*/
function wpmudev_bbp_admin_links_in_menu($retval, $r, $args) {
   if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
   $menulinks = '<ul id="bbp_custom_links_menu-' . $r["id"] . '" class="bbp_custom_links_menu">';
    $menulinks .= '<li class="parent"><a href="#bbp_custom_links_menu-' . $r["id"] . '">Options</a>';
    $menulinks .= '<ul class="bbp_custom_links_submenu">';
    foreach($r['links'] as $key => $val) {
        $menulinks .= "<li>{$val}</li>";
    }
    $menulinks .= '</ul></li></ul>';

    echo $r['before'] . $menulinks . $r['after'];
    }
}
add_filter('bbp_get_topic_admin_links', 'wpmudev_bbp_admin_links_in_menu', 10, 3);
add_filter('bbp_get_reply_admin_links', 'wpmudev_bbp_admin_links_in_menu', 10, 3);

add_action( 'wp_footer', 'overflow_overriding' );
function overflow_overriding() {
    if ( !is_user_logged_in() ) {
    }else{
    ?>
    <script type="text/javascript">
		jQuery( document ).ready(function() {
		   jQuery('.bbp-admin-links:even').css({"position": "absolute", "right": "380px"});
		});
    </script>

     <?php
    }
}

Thanks for the help.

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.

Then come back

Hello,

Hello,

I’m trying to convert my old forum to bbpress (using modified bbpress/includes/admin/converters/Example.php) and it works almost everything except one. In my old forum there are 3 authors category:
1. registered with name,
2. not registered with name and
3. anonymous.
As far as I know the bbpres able to handle these categories and I can convert and import these data, but not together.
I can import the registered users with name, with these lines in converter:
$this->field_map[] = array(
‘from_tablename’ => ‘posts’,
‘from_fieldname’ => ‘uid’,
‘to_type’ => ‘reply’,
‘to_fieldname’ => ‘post_author’,
‘callback_method’ => ‘callback_userid’
);
I can import the NOT registered users with name, with these lines in converter:
$this->field_map[] = array(
‘from_tablename’ => ‘posts’,
‘from_fieldname’ => ‘nickname’,
‘to_type’ => ‘reply’,
‘to_fieldname’ => ‘_bbp_anonymous_name’,
);
But unfortunately, if I use both, only the NOT registered users coming through.
I would be very grateful if someone could help.

Hello
i would like to have exactly the same widget on my site, like putting it in place?
Thank you

[Pascal Casier]

Then it’s completely normal that you get everything in English ! If you want to have your site in Spanish, you should change it to Spanish and bbPress will adapt automatically (if you choose Spanish (Spain) or Spanish (Chile), because the other Spanish are not yet fully translated).

Pascal.

[stussi]

my site language is in English right now. and bbpress is version 2.5.8

[Pascal Casier]

Unfortunately not.
Do you have the possibility to switch to a standard wordpress theme ?
Or deactivate all plugins except bbPress ? Then reactivate one by one
Pascal.

[eoppegaard]

I am using BbPress Version 2.5.8 but I think you are right it is never finding the source.

Where should the source files be placed?

[volican]

When I use bbpress I notice that on the mobile it is all squished up. To solve this I have removed the freshness column and adjusted the spacing of the info, topic and posts columns. This works on the forums page but when I click on one of the forums the freshness column is removed but the spacing seems to be the same. Can you see what I have done wrong with my css?

li.bbp-forum-freshness, li.bbp-forum-freshness {
	display: none;
}

li.bbp-forum-freshness, li.bbp-topic-freshness {
	display: none;
}

li.bbp-forum-info, li.bbp-topic-title { width:50%; }

li.bbp-forum-topic-count, li.bbp-forum-topic-count {
	text-align: center;
	width: 30%;
}
li.bbp-forum-reply-count, li.bbp-forum-reply-count {
	text-align: center;
	width: 20%;
}

////// This is the bit that isn't playing nice

li.bbp-forum-info, li.bbp-topic-title { width:50%; }

li.bbp-forum-topic-count, li.bbp-topic-topic-count {
	text-align: center;
	width: 30%;
}
li.bbp-forum-reply-count, li.bbp-topic-reply-count {
	text-align: center;
	width: 20%;
}

Many thanks 🙂
