Hello!

I would like to try bbPress forum because of it’s WordPress integration and the advantages that would come with that.

I currently have a Simple Machines Forum (SMF) with the following statistics:

Total Members: 98
Total Posts: 9924
Total Topics: 1519
Total Categories: 4
Total Boards: 34

Version of SMF: 2.0.11 (Current)
Version of WordPress: 4.3.1 (Current)
Version of bbPress: 2.5.8 (Current)

I’ve read the guide of importing forums here: https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/importing-data/import-forums/

Based on that I’m fairly certain I followed the steps right. I have the server (localhost), the database, the prefix and user added in the import tool. The processing gets stuck at the following point (tried several times):

Converting topics (57 – 57)

I did try with ‘Row Limit’ 1 and also tried ‘Delay Time’ between 1-30, but that did not make a difference. I tried to Stop / Start it a few times… nothing.

I’m not an expert with MySQL databases, so I don’t think I can manually edit the row which is causing the problem.

Can anyone help with this please?

We had bbpress running and all was well but since the last update suddenly the site goes white and does not generate an error it simply just does not show anything.

http://www.yeoldeways.com/community/

Right now the plugin is deactivated but as soon as we turn on bbpress “poof” white site.

Any ideas for a solution?

Thanks in advance. 🙂

30000 forums ? Thats not managable! Or are you talking about 30000 topics ?
If I’m not mistaken bbPress is limited to 50 forums.

As said above:
For your plugins, you should activate them from your ‘Admin panels > Plugins > Installed Plugins’ and then you can start tuning the options (in most cases under ‘Admin panels > Settings’ or ‘Admin panels > Tools’.
If they do not work, then you need to ask on the forums of those plugins.

For the avatars, you can start reading here: https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/faq/user-avatars/

Hi everybody,

I’m building a website which must have many different forums (+30000…)

I would like to know if it is possible with bbpress without too many errors.

Many thanks

[Pascal Casier]

Hmm, nothing comes to my mind directly. Maybe with a plugin like https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbpress-new-ui ?

I also saw a lot of ‘Oh bother no topics’ and other messages. You can always use my bbP Toolkit to hide those.

Pascal.

[seyibest]

yes. I want to change the bbpress forum and subforum background color.

em…it is just rough number 660K ~ 600K ,don;t need to be specific, same bad, and I did not manage to manage 60K ;p could NOT even remove 10topics…

anyway, to be honest, with all due respects, PHP 5.6 will NOT help everyone remove from 10 topics to 100 topics.

I wish developers, if possible kindly, to contact us, I will let you work on it

(I think not many people so far yet to use bbpress for big forums)

[Pascal Casier]

Well, you seem to have managed to remove 60K already in the mean time.

I edited my post, not sure it you saw that, but WordPress proposes PHP 5.6 and not 5.5 as you have. Of course all works, but I remember well, the latest bbPress test runs show increased performance on the higher PHP platform.

Pascal.

[AilyRoot]

well, yes to all and also I do not believe tweak could make “removing 10 topics” works smoothly in bbpress ;p it is “helly” slow, tweaking makes some helps, but you are still in hell

I am willing to give away access on our dev site that has 600K posts inside for bbpress developer if needed

thanks for all!

[Pascal Casier]

Well, for finding the help and responses, I hope you’re not disappointed.
Please note that WordPress runs best on PHP 5.6 and higher (you seem to use 5.5) : https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/

– 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 ? Or gtmetrix.com as starting point ?

Some further reading: https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/improving-performance/

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.

[AilyRoot]

well, I am 1000% sure it is bbpress (or wordpress) ‘s codes issue

Dedicated server
Intel SSD
48G ram
PHP 5.5
MySQL 5.6

We were at invisionboard forum system(ZERO issues on this) , with wordpress+bbpress, it hangs even we just try to trash 10 topics….

reason why I move to wordpress+bbpress? better integration and easier to find someone to help

Hi everyone, I apologise if this has been asked before. I’ve tried searching through the forums and can’t find a solution – I’ve tried a couple (such as creating a bbpress.php file in a bbpress directory in my child themes folder) but it doesn’t resolve the issue.

I have the Forum Index/Root set to the default ‘Forums’ slug. However, when I try to visit this link: http://sheisboss.co.uk/forums – I just get a completely blank page.

I’m truly stumped! Any advice would be awesome – thank you 🙂

[AilyRoot]

We have imported 660K posts forum into bbpress, wordpress ‘s backend management for bbpress just works so BAD for any mass move/delete/trash functions

e.g. , I now want to remove a forum with 56 topics ONLY, I click “trash” on WP’s /wp-admin, it simply HANGS. It is crazily slow and it never ends done… I could not imagine one day when we need to delete forum spammer’s posts, how slow it will be

I am ware of that there are some mass move/delete plugins, but they are not for bbpresss

please help on this if you could, thanks !:)

This looks great, I just tried it on my forum and it works on categories but not on forums.
I’m running latest WP, BBPress, BuddyPress versions with the Brickyard theme and the code is installed in my theme’s functions.php file..

One tedious issue I have with bbPress is that when someone posts content from another site the content rarely displays correctly first time and the user has to edit the topic in order for it to display right.

This leads me to my main issue. the result is that subscribed members get at least two new topic notifications, one for the initial post and another after the edit.

Surely an edit of an existing post should not create an entirely new topic notification?

Is there anyway to change this behaviour?

[seyibest]

Thanks Casiapa for your contribution.
The question here is; could you please explain to me how to create a child plugin for bbpres so that i can make the changes or if i can get blank bbpress child plugin will appreciate.
i know how to create child theme for all kind of themes but i have never create plugin because if i didn’t create my own plugin for bbpress, during updates, all modifications will be a waste of time.
Thanks

@yolandal

You are in the bbPress plugin settings, but not the area I told you where it was.

Maybe you have a plugin that reorder/removes menu items where you cannot see it??

I’ve been working quite a lot on this threaded view format. This is coded all outside of bbpress, but uses many of bbpress’s functions.

Hi,
For your question about ‘arange my sub-forum verically instead of horizontal’, you can add this code in a child theme or your own plugin or functions.php file (Remove the // twice if you also want to hide the counters):

add_filter('bbp_after_list_forums_parse_args', 'bbppc_bbpress_list_forums' );
function bbppc_bbpress_list_forums() {
	$args['separator']        = '<br>';
	// $args['show_topic_count'] = false;
	// $args['show_reply_count'] = false;
	return $args;
}

For your plugins, you should activate them from your ‘Admin panels > Plugins > Installed Plugins’ and then you can start tuning the options (in most cases under ‘Admin panels > Settings’ or ‘Admin panels > Tools’.

Pascal.
