There are (at least) a couple of tickets on this in the bbPress trac, no. 2722 and no. 2865.
No. 2865 has a patch marked “under consideration”. In case it helps anybody, we’ve wrapped this patch as a plugin for bbPress 2.5.8:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/fix-forum-emails/
This should help to fix problems with HTML entities in notification emails on vanilla bbPress installs. It’s intended as a workaround until the issue gets fixed in bbPress core.
The plugin won’t remove stray HTML or CSS in forum posts. Rogue markup like this can be caused by cut-and-paste operations in TinyMCE, aka the Visual Editor, if you have it enabled in bbPress. If you’re having these problems, we have another free plugin called “Forum Beginner Posts” in the repository. It enables TinyMCE for bbPress in paste-as-text mode by default.

Robin! You lead me down the path to find the problem!
It turns out it was the enormous amount of forums/categories underneath one category. When I broke the 365 forum categories into groups of 50, the speed improved.
Here’s what I found:
Every 20 forum categories within another forum category adds another second to the posting time. So 365 lesson categories within a single category called lessons = 18 seconds for a post to save and appear. When I broke the 365 lesson categories into 7 categories (“lessons 1-50” and so on…) I got the posting speed down to 2.5 seconds.
1. Is there a known issue with bbpress slowing down where there are a large number of “category” forums within another category? Now we know that that’s what my problem was.
2. Since we’re a new site with no posts yet, I have faith that a large number of posts and replys won’t slow down the forums like the issue defined and resolved above. Care to reassure me on this? 🙂
Thank you so much for your help!!
WordPress 4.3
bbPress 2.5.7
My forums have topics but no topics are showing. It is correctly showing:
“This forum contains 1 topic, and was last updated by…”
but also displays
“Oh bother! No topics were found here!”
an no topics are listed.
I checked /wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=topic and no topics are associated with any forums. However, I re-associated each topic with the correct Forum and these changes were persisted on /wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=topic but does not make any difference to the error above and no topics are listed within any forums.
Please advise where in the code I should start debugging?
Thanks

Thank you!

Hello,
Back to beg for help (although willing to pay) to get this converter built.
If anyone with the ability could read through this topic and give input here or at https://github.com/damon18/dizkus-bbpress I would really appreciate it. My existing forums are starting to throw lots of errors and are keeping me from upgrading my server since they won’t work past PHP 5.3.x
Since having the menu expand is not part of the normal bbpress function (it just lists the menu items rather than having a dropdown list), I presume that either your theme is doing this, or you have added some js to do this?
Yes it is using JavaScript, I pasted it all above.
Thanks, I will take a look at link posted in your last reply to.
ok, so now I think I understand your issue. I am presuming that you mean the options menu, which works fine on a pc as using the mouse to hover lists the menu items and closes them as the mouse moves away.
with a smartphone you need to click rather than move a mouse? (I don’t have a smartphone!)

Yes I’m only aware of an old plugin. Not sure there is a recent one that does what you want.
For what it is worth I believe it is in the development roadmap for core bbPress so should be added one day.
Is it this ticket?
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2498
Unfortunately bbPress development seems to have stalled a little with buddyPress taking much of the attention these days (?). I did actually contribute to a crowd funding campaign in the hope to kickstart bbPress development but no release came out of that sadly.
I’d love this feature too, if my PHP skills were up to it I would work on it myself – maybe one day!
Hi Everyone,
I finally upgraded my bbpress 1.x to bbpress 2.5.6 after running it for 7 years. The import process took almost a day with 0.5+ million posts.
Now I am facing issue with slow performance, despite running on physical server with 16 core CPU and 16 GB RAM. The upgrade ran fine for few hours has but been very slow from last 12 hours.
The wordpress and bbpress are both so slow that sometimes even the site fails to load. HTOP shows all CPU cores running mysql up to 90%.
I enabled slow query on mysql (mariadb) and it is giving the following output:
[root@server]# mysqldumpslow -t 5 -s at /var/log/mariadb/mysql-slow.log
Reading mysql slow query log from /var/log/mariadb/mysql-slow.log
Count: 7485 Time=25.48s (190747s) Lock=2.85s (21328s) Rows_sent=10.0 (74810), Rows_examined=1582056.1 (11841689862), user[database]@localhost
SELECT wp_posts.ID FROM wp_posts INNER JOIN wp_postmeta ON ( wp_posts.ID = wp_postmeta.post_id ) WHERE N=N AND (
( wp_postmeta.meta_key = 'S' AND CAST(wp_postmeta.meta_value AS SIGNED) NOT IN ('S','S') )
) AND wp_posts.post_type = 'S' AND ((wp_posts.post_status = 'S' OR wp_posts.post_status = 'S')) GROUP BY wp_posts.ID ORDER BY wp_posts.post_date DESC LIMIT N, N
I tried disabling other plugins but it did not make any difference, however the CPU returns to low if I disable bbpress plugin.
Can anyone guide me on what could be the issue here?
Regards,
T
ok, so go into your dashboard and go to
dashboard>plugins>add new plugin and you’ll see near the top left a box that says ‘upload plugin’ ‘ click that and then navigate to were you saved the downloaded bbpress plugin zip file.
Click install and then activate

Hi everyone,
i am new to bbPress, i took some time to search the forums for answers but i have only found a few things.
So here is my issue. I’m starting a new blog and i would like :
1. my blog posts to be automatically posted to the forums (either with full post content or with excerpt & link back to the blog).
2. people that want to comment blog posts to do it from the forum (after registering)
3. forum comments being displayed on the blog
That’s something i used to have on an old project using IPB and WP (i had my own plugin coded to do that) but i was expecting bbPress to allow that directly.
Apparently i was wrong, i only found the Topics for posts plugin to do that but it seems outdated.
Any other simple solution to do what i want ?
I have a website that I want to add a forum to. My website is already set up on my domain. I just need a forum. bbpress was recommended to help me get this accomplished.
I downloaded the first link on the page https://bbpress.org/download/
saved it to my computer. I have several files saved on my computer labeled as bbpress
Hi,
I have downloaded bbpress. How do I activate it? I download it and then nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?
In a word – no !
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
In addition to above, I just updated from 2.5.8 to bbpress 2.6, the problem remains.
Another note, I noticed when I submit a new topic or reply and wait the 17-20 second, if I hit refresh after 3 seconds it’s already there submitted and waiting on the page… it’s like behind the scenes it is working fast but there’s some delay for the browser to be told to go ahead and refresh to show the update. Maybe this info helps…
ping!
Is there a “reply by email” plugin to enhance bbPress?
When I receive a notice someone has posted to a thread I’m watching, I want to reply via email and have it post onto the thread in the forum. Increasing engagement is ++good.
I’ve read the Falcon README and I don’t grok how to install it.
We are using bbpress, Memberpress (so all forums are for members only), and askimet, and a couple of other plugins. We want to get trackbacks/pingbacks so we know when other bloggers write about us. But I am surprised that our forum members are getting emails to approve spam trackbacks on forum topics that they’ve started. Is there a way to stop forum trackbacks and especially these confusing and annoying emails that are being sent to our members?
Hi there
I am using WordPress Version 4.4.2 and BBPress v2.5.8. I am using a magazine theme called Soledad which allows a number of custom sidebars.
After setting the forum root to community (and I removed the shortcode from a page) and seeing that I did not have a sidebar, I created a new bbpress.php in a child theme to enable it.
At first the sidebar was showing as the default one on the main forum index and the individual forums and topics were showing a custom side bar that I had assigned to posts (it shows the author bio)
After I installed BB WP Tweaks, the main forum index page is showing the correct side bar after adding in the widgets into the BBPress sidebar. However, individual forums and topics are still showing the sidebar assigned to post.
Any help much appreciated. I have read the how to page on setting up specific sidebars, but not luck.
Thanks
Laura
I manage a bbPress-based student tech help forum for a college; site registrations are disabled (and must remain disabled). I have anonymous subscriptions/email notifications enabled, and email addresses are required for the creation of replies or topics, but am looking for a way to block any but a few email address domains from creating topics/replies. Is there a way to do this without enabling registrations? The only whitelisting options I’ve been able to find apply to registration, not anonymous subscriptions/topic and reply creation.
Hi
I put the bbpress login widget on the sidebar, but I would like to remove/hide its title and the line below it. Is it possible?
Here is a screenshot
Thanks in advance
