Uhh, that is a tricky one. We have so much parts that work together, not least the firewall and security plugins. I cannot run the website and test bbpress behaviour for hours or days without any of them. Also, I can’t imagine how any of them could interfere with bbpress. It usually isn’t about plugin conflicts, if such tiny details get wrong. Come to think of it, it never really is about plugin conflicts in my experience, whenever something is wrong on the website.

Do you see any other way to test this?

Hi Bryan,
‘Registering’ would be a WordPress issue (if you just use bbPress) or a BuddyPress issue.
If you want a response, you might have more luck on those forums.

Hi,
If you did not rerun the script to recalculate, then for every forum where a topic arrives (or probably also a reply to a topic), the freshness should become correct.
If it disappear, and you did not rerun the repair tool, it might be another plugin or your theme that is doing things in the background.
Any possibility to remove plugins that could have an influence on bbPress and switch to a standard theme ?

Pascal.

My gaming clan recently made the switch to bbPress (i.e., this morning.) It’s been a fairly easy migration. However, I have one issue that I need to resolve: how we accept member applications.

When we were in bbPress we had members copy and paste the application into a new topic form. When submitted, the comment would be “held in moderation” so that an officer could then manually move it to a private/hidden officers forum to deliberate on whether to accept it or not.

Now that we’ve migrated to bbPress that option isn’t so readily available. We could have people post to a forum and move them, but we prefer to keep member applications confidential (instead of sitting in a forum for anyone else to see until someone has a chance to move it.)

So, what I’m looking for, and wondering if anyone has already done this…

1. A way to create a custom topic form pre-filled with information. I don’t see a need to have a bunch of individual fields… just a topic form with existing content.
2. The ability for members who can’t see a forum to post to a specific forum (via this form.)
3. or alternatively, a way for posts to be held in moderation until an officer/moderator can move it to a private forum for consideration.

Thank you

There are no themes or plugins that I know of that support _bbp_old_user_id, bbPress offers that and exposes it for developers to use as they will.

I pretty much cannot see any use case where displaying the old vBulletin user ID would be required, it really would only be needed to map previous vBulletin extensions and plugins to bbPress after migration.

Hi,
we are just discussing this in Slack. I only translated dev, but not stable. And honestly, I see no point in manually copying every new and changed string from dev to stable, as was suggested there. This could take hours again, only to be obsolete soon.

So, when is bbpress 2.6 due? Is this correct, that then the dev translations become the new stable?

Hi,

in the Codex, it says that the automatic loading of locales should begin when they are at 100%. However, the German locale has not been updated in my installation since three days, that is the current date of the files in my webspace. Even though I approved strings in Glotpress every day since then.

Do you know if there is some “push” mechanism? Because WP-Members always gets updated at night (UTC) after I edited some strings. Or maybe bbpress needs to pull translations, but it does not do so, sufficiently?

Hello,

We started to work with your bbpress which seems to work fine on tweety eleven theme but not with our.

It brakes most of the information and I tried to look inside the css, but no luck.

Here is the website: http://goo.gl/68qghQ

Does anyone have a beggining of idea?

Thank you in advance

Hi,

i was doing some performance analysis with the Xdebug and Xhprof profiling tools and noticed that many of my DB queries/per request are something similar to:

SELECT option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = '_bbp_enable_subscriptions' LIMIT 1

In Trac Ticket 1550 it is mentioned, that the WordPress Object Cache is used, but this “error_log” (in wp-db.php Version 4.4.1 line 1809) tells me a different story:

	private function _do_query( $query ) {
		if ( defined( 'SAVEQUERIES' ) && SAVEQUERIES ) {
			$this->timer_start();
		}

		if ( $this->use_mysqli ) {
			error_log($query . "\n", 3, '/tmp/wpdb.log');
			$this->result = @mysqli_query( $this->dbh, $query );
		} else {
			$this->result = @mysql_query( $query, $this->dbh );
		}
		$this->num_queries++;

		if ( defined( 'SAVEQUERIES' ) && SAVEQUERIES ) {
			$this->queries[] = array( $query, $this->timer_stop(), $this->get_caller() );
		}
	}

Am i missing some Cache Settings here?

I am using WordPress 4.4.1 with bbPress 2.5.8

[Manuel Fritsch]

It doesn’t say anything in the Codex about “don’t you dare activate on network once you activated on subsite only, you will never again be able to activate on subsite only”. I looked.

However, I am not 100% sure that I first activated on subsite only. Maybe I only thought so, and am now back to original configuration: network yes, subsite no.

[Manuel Fritsch]

Sooooo… I have to have bbpress activated on both MS subsite AND network admin (not root site) to have it all working again.

EDIT: Only network activated is sufficient. I do *not* have to activate on subsite first, network second.

Did I miss something here? Were these instructions I should have followed all the way?

[Gunilla]

I have had the problem since I installed bbPress six weeks ago and I think I have had WordPress 4.4.1 since then.
I have now found a work around solution, inactivated the 404-plugin, created a 404.php-file and uploaded it in the theme folder. After that the bbPress topic pages are available.

Hi,
There seems to be a known conflict because of the Calendar that loads JavaScript in a strange way.
It could work if you deactivate Timely and bbPress, then first switch on Timely, after that switch on bbPress

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
This is bbPress support forum, so you better ask on the dedicated BuddyPress forum.
Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
I had a similar issue already when running e.g. “Recalculate last activity in each topic and forum” and if post IDs and post dates are not really aligned. It’s a known issue that should be fixed in the upcoming v2.6.
After the next reply, everything should be then correctly refreshed.

Are you seeing the same behaviour ?

Pascal.

[Gunilla]

The theme was not the problem. I now know that it is the 404 plugin where I can use a wordpress page as 404-page. I have tested two different 404 plugins but it is the same problem with both of them.

Is there any way to work around this problem so I can use a 404 plugin and still have a well functioning bbPress forum?

[charley777]

I’ve installed bbpress plugin but it seems to be conflicting with at least 2 other plugins mentioned. They work fine with each other, but not with bbpress. The symptom is I’m not able to see most of my admin pages. I can get to the control panel but all links go to a blank screen. (I have to deactivate all plugins via server control panel).
If I deactivate all other plugins I can at least see the setup for BBpress, haven’t done that yet because I need the other plugins, specifically the calendar.
I’m using WP 4.4.1 and 2010 theme (same problem in 2014). BBpress is 2.5.8.
My site is Soilhealth.net.
I’m very much a novice at coding so help will have to be very specific if I need to edit any files.
Thanks for any help!

Hi,

during my little adventure this evening regarding bbpress and double clicking on links, which was a dead end afterall, I deactivated bbpress on subsite and activated on network dashboard. Then, bbpress was broken except for the main page (http://de.movemeta.org/foren/). Okay, so I deactivated on network admin and activated on subsite again. Forums worked, but Freshness is not working fine any more. There had been posts after those listed. And then, I posted another one, just to make sure, and after some minutes it, too, vanished from the Freshness display, to make room for an older one.

Okay, maybe I was stupid here, but please help… :/

I already tried various repair functions that seemed to fit the case, but to no avail.

[Manuel Fritsch]

Okay, I can deactivate bbpress if I remember to deactivate bbp Style Pack. And the double click is due to some other reason… so this case can be closed.

[elis85]

i have a site with buddypress and bbpress installed.
latest version of wordpress, buddypress and bbpress
every group has a forum. i’m having a strange issue, regular users can post only one post.
when trying to post again, the page reloads but nothing happens. the post is not saved, and wont show up anywhere, and no error massage is shown.
searched for info about this problem but couldn’t find anything.
any ideas what could be the problem.

thank’s,
eli.

[Manuel Fritsch]

Hi there,

in my new bbpress forums, and apparently also in my general site menu, since this evening one has to click on links (topics, forums,…) twice, not just once, to get ahead.

Also, when I deactivated bbpress, my site did not load except for the top right FB-circle logo. So I had to activate it again. I’m worried.

Hi,
I suppose you tried in the last stable version (2.5.8) of bbPress ?
Have a try with 2.6-alpha. Improvements have been made on importing.

[blandow]

I am trying to import an old vbulletin 3.8.4 message forum to bbPress. Over 1.8 Million posts.

What is the best method to get this done? I gave the import tool in wordpress a shot, but it kept saying nothing to import. Any guidance would be appreciated, as I have never worked with forum exports/imports before.

[Stephen Edgar]

No, it currently does not, its an interesting idea though, along with its counterpart to “bump` a topic without adding a reply, I’d love to see a plugin that offers one or both of these functions, we could then look to adding the plugin to bbPress #core via the “featured plugin” process similar to WprdPress #core
