I recently migrated a large forum from another platform. The forum is quite large (1M+). The issues I am having is that opening individual forums is slow and opening threads is pretty much the same. 20 seconds – 30 seconds sometimes. I am running the latest bbpress and the site runs on a dedicated server and had no issue with the previous forum platform.

It is truly frustrating. I would truly appreciate if someone can point in the right direction of what to look for?

I already post this topic in pollddady support forum because I don’t know who can fix this, maybe bbpress team, maybe polldaddy team…

Hi,
As title said, Polldaddy shows rating on bbpress forums. This is not a wanted feature. I know there is option to exclude pages to displays rating. But when there are so many forums and sub-forums, we will be tired of excluding them.

Hope there will be a better solution for this.

Thanks,

The membership I am using is Wishlist Member, so perhaps you are right. I have contacted them and they reassure me that there is nothing apparently wrong with my installation of their software. They even looked under the hood, so-to-speak, in my website. The thing is, the members can log in fine and see the replies, just not the topics, which would suggest a problem of compatibility with bbPress.

Is this one of those cases when 2 plug ins just do not tolerate each other very well? have you heard of anyone having a similar issue?

Thanks for your patience with me.

Thanks. I didn’t know I had a .post-content p as well as a #bbpress-forums.post-content p.

I’ve removed the first one and that seems to have fixed my problem.

Thanks!

Do you mean the margins between the post and the date of the post? Because it seems like the opposite actually fixes the problem (your first CSS bit in your post with 0 margin).

You also seem to have these two in your CSS:

#bbpress-forums .post-content p

and

.post-content p

Both are doing the same thing, so you could have a conflict with your CSS there. Remove one of them entirely and work with just the one you keep. Be sure to refresh your cache (ctrl+f5) after saving the change in your CSS file.

I am new to CSS and trying to change the formatting of my post-content div. My forum home page, and topic pages look okay but the margin in my post content page isn’t quite right. I can fix it by inspecting element and performing the change below, but then it reverts to being broke again.

I change it to this:

#bbpress-forums .post-content p {
margin: 0px 0px 0px !important;
display: block;
}

but then it reverts to this:

#bbpress-forums .post-content p {
margin: 0px 0px 20px;
display: block;
}

Any idea what I’m doing wrong? Forum is here:

Hi,

I have spent the better part of two days attempting to install bbPress on my site. I have come to learn that it’s my theme. While I do not want to abandon my theme, I do want to use bbPress. I have a few questions.

I can set up a subdomain. Is it possible to set up bbPress this way AND not require my users to set up a separate login? I have read something about Multi-site and have read that having multiple sites with the same login can be difficult. Is there an easier way?

I suppose I’d like to know if I do install bbPress on a subdomain is there a plugin that you’d recommend that would bridge my users login info to this installation from the main site.

Thank you in advance for any assistance,

Mike

Thanks for the reference Stephen. I had seen this but didn’t want to spend the time on it without a reference that it functions the way I need it since, as you mentioned, the setup was rather complicated. But thank you! I’ll give it a shot now and report back here for future users.

PS I wouldn’t expect this to be a core BBPress feature either but that’s helpful to know either way.

THANK YOU for your time Stephen.

Congratulations! .. nice to see the bbPress Trac new updates too 😀

Hello,

Is there a mobile-friendly bbPress theme? If not, is it a good idea if I develop one?

I check this support forum with keyword “mobile theme”. Someone ask the same question, the answer is no. If I miss a solution, please let me know. I also Google “mobile bbPress theme” and read the first three pages carefully. There are some good discussion and even achievement, but these topics are not active anymore for three years.

My target is, for example, for the next three websites:
http://mophpbb3.flexplat.com/
http://mosmf2.flexplat.com/
http://momybb.flexplat.com/
When you visit from (1) desktop web browser or (2) mobile web browser, the result are completely different — I will make the same theme for bbPress.

If you need a mobile theme, please reply this thread, so I can make sure this work is necessary.

Any comments are welcome.

Hi, I’m looking for a solution to display a list of sticky posts. I currently have a list of all recent topics displaying -> http://kohler.surefiresocial.com/featured-articles/ but I want to restrict this to just sticky posts. I am using the short-code [bbp-topic-index] to display the topic index.

Basically, I am stuck as to should i modify and create a short-code or drop in a custom query? any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

WP Version – 3.8
BBPress Version – 2.5.1
URL – http://kohler.surefiresocial.com/featured-articles/

Ok, I’m out of options for you with bbPress.

Maybe take a look at some of the ‘membership’ plugins such as ‘Members’ by Justin Tadlock or S2Member. I think these ‘can’ do what you are after but have a look around and see what you can find.

[wiste]

Disregard, found in ..wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/widgets.php

[wiste]

In which file(s)/locations can I find the code for the built in bbpress widgets? Most specifically I’m looking for the recent topics widget. Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I’ve never needed to modify a widget before now and my searches have turned up nothing.

I am wanting to make my own version that will allow it to recursively check sub forums of the specified parent forum as well so a category can be specified instead of just a single forum.

Thanks!

[Stephen Edgar]

I had a quick look on Pagelines forums but as I don’t have an account this was limited. I saw a couple of your posts there and I’d suggest you post another question on how to get it working with bbPress.

[iambob]

Ahh, so close … Thank you Stephen! The appearance of data in the columns now absent.

Next trick that yet evades my efforts and understanding is to have any long (> 55 characters) Forum or Topic titles (and/or any description of either), extend the full width across the defined space these columns (still) occupy, rather than wrap ‘half-way’ across. Is this a simple ‘width’ change within bbpress.css (and/or other files)?

With this change, the appearance (of forums & titles) would better fill the real estate, as Replies do, especially on a smartphone.

Much obliged,
Bob

[Stephen Edgar]

@wiste What I think/expect is the following:

1. \wp-content\plugins\bbpress\templates\default\bbpress\loop-forums.php
2. \wp-content\themes\mytheme\bbpress\loop-forums.php
3. \wp-content\themes\mychildtheme\bbpress\loop-forums.php

I’ll try to have a closer look at this sometime in the next few days and report back 🙂

[Stephen Edgar]

Much of this is theme related, we have a ticket in Trac for some microdata additions for breadcrumbs be the actual format for forums, topics & replies doesn’t have an ‘official’ spec so there really isn’t an easy way of supporting scheme.org or microformats with bbPress at this stage.

Your best workaround is to customize your bbPress templates to fit a markup of your choice and this really comes down to how your theme is currently doing this.

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2269 “Add rich microdata markup to breadcrumbs”

[Stephen Edgar]

You would probably be best of making a copy of some of the bbPress templates.

Details on getting started with this are here https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

Then take a look at the content-statistics.php template and add that code with the styling you want to content-archive-forum.php

[Stephen Edgar]

Thanks for the follow up, your right you probably don’t need the bbpress.php file now.

(I replied to your other topic about the admin replies link.)

[Stephen Edgar]

Do you have any plugin conflicts?

To try and resolve conflicts with other plugins please disable all your plugins except bbPress to see if the error persists. Re-enable each plugin one at a time and if things break again you should be able to now know which other plugin is causing the conflict.

[Stephen Edgar]

You would need to customize your templates. To get started with this follow the steps here to make copies of your templates for use in your theme.

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

Then start by taking a look at loop-replies.php

Hi Stephen,

Thanks for your response. I’ve spoken w/ Pagelines about this earlier, who informed me there is no module needed for Pagelines DMS (which I’m using), only for the Pagelines Framework. I can confirm that BBPress is installed and working on my site… it’s just the layout of the index page for the forums as well as the tags page that seems to not have any formatting.

(Just to be sure, I tried the pagelines module and it creates an error.)

Is there another way to approach this issue? I tried using BBPress WP Tweaks plugin to have BBPress use index.php for the default template page (Pagelines has an index.php file). This didn’t work either.

Here’s the error I get on the frontend:
