I upgraded my server to PHP 5.3 and things seem to be running better.

bbPress comes with a widget for that: “(bbPress) Statistics”. You can display it a widget area in your theme and it displays the following: Registered Users, Forums, Topics, Replies, Topic Tags, Empty Topic Tags.

I’ve been trying to import my vanilla 2 forum posts (just under 500000 replies) and it’s been working away for a very very long time. Tried to do it on the server as well as locally on my macbook pro running Mountain Lion. It seems that it’s even running slower locally than on my server and after leaving it to run for a couple of days, I’m about 1/4 of the way there.
Tried all kinds of delay times and row limits but I can’t find a way to improve the speed of the import.
I was wondering if anyone here has successfully imported a database this size and has tips on how to speed up the process? Even at a 200 Limit with 3 second delay my MySQL workbench on my local machine shows 11000 Queries/second which seems a bit high?
I’m using the latest versions of bbpress, wordpress and vanilla.

As far as I can find, you can only ban them with an Administrator. The users are an inherent part of the WP install and bbPress only makes use of the function. So editing things from users beyond forum moderation is up to the Admin.

The fancy editor is disabled by default. You have two choices:

Enable Visual Editor

It’s for good reason that it’s disabled though. It considerably slows down mobile devices and is just all around far more unpredictable than the plain editor in terms of how users might mess up with it.

Hi,

I am running a BBpress powered forum since a few weeks and I have a problem with the fancy editor bar.

I can’t get it to appear on my forum pages.
As I saw in other post here, I tried with the official BBpress theme and it shows, so I’m guessing my Custom community based theme is causing the problem.

Do you have any advise to solve this ? somewhere I show look ?

Here is on of my forum pages : http://912club.fr/912club-forum/forums/general/
my theme : Custom community (customized)
BBpress version : 2.3.2

Hi there –

There’s something wonky going on between Editorial Calendar and bbPress. When I try to access the forums, topics, or replies on the backend, I’m redirected to the calendar.

When I deactivated the calendar, the forum menu disappeared (but the forum remained on the front end). SMH

Any advice for fixing this issue?

[solsikkehaven]

I cannot find, how to have moderators or key masters be able to ban users – without them also being ADMIN on the WordPress site ?

Have I missed something ?

(lastest version of everything -wordpress+bbpress etc.)

OK, version 1 uploaded to official repository:

Get it here.

[jezza101]

Forums are relatively resource hungry, and whilst bbPress is “lighter” than others, it will place additional strain on any server.

Is it a shared server? Perhaps you have outgrown it.
What plugins are you running? Often problems are caused by a rogue plugin, try disabling them all.
What is your website traffic like? If your site is busy, bbPress will cause server load! Time to upgrade!

[MediaSVI]

I am pretty sure bbpress is overloading my Godaddy server take a look at the server process page it’s being over run. Any ideas why this would be happening?

[llud]

Forgot to include information:
I am using latest wordpress
Latest Buddypress
Latest Bbpress

if you want to give a look here is a link :
http://www.kleepp.it/groups/blender-for-cgi/forum/

Strange thing…it appears on the group wall and on activity, just doesnt show up where it should be.

Thanks Xevo
Being quite new to WP and bbPress, I wonder if you would be so good as to expand on that please.

I’m trying to edit "user" started the topic "Topic" in the forum "Forum" in the activity header of my buddypress activity page. I looked forever to try and find it in wp-content/pluggins/buddypress/bp-languages/buddypress.POT and couldn’t find this: %1$s started the topic %2$s in the forum %3$s I eventually found it in
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/languages/bbpress.POT I then did this:

1. edit the file bbpress.pot file in poedit.
2. create the folder “bbpress” in the wordpress content languages folder. Make the languages folder if you need to so your path looks like this: wp-content/languages/bbpress
3. save the edited bbpress.pot file as bbpress-en_US.po
4. upload the created po and mo files to the bbpress folder in lanugaes. reset your cashe to see it working

I found that in this thread: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/language-file-isnt-working/

I also tried
define ('WPLANG', 'en_US');

Nothing. Am I doing this right?

Please help, I’ve been stuck for weeks on this.

Hello,

I’m developing theme for my site where I made it look pretty much like this one here.

So how I did it:

First of all in bbpress.php (in the root)

<?php if (is_post_type_archive( 'forum' )) { ?>
	<div class="entry-content row">
		<div class="forum-sidebar span3">
			<h3 style="float:left;margin-bottom:11px">Forums:</h3>
			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/content', 'archive-forum-home' ); ?>
		</div>
		<div class="span7">
			<h3 style="float:left">Recent Topics:</h3>
			<div class="bbp-new-topic-form" style="float:right">
				<button id="bbp_forums_new_topic" class="btn"><i class="icon-edit"></i>&nbsp;&nbsp;New Topic</button>
			</div>
			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/content', 'archive-topic-home' ); ?>
		</div>
	</div>
<?php } else { ?>

so in my achive-topic-home I use this template:

	<?php if ( bbp_has_topics() ) : ?>
		<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop',       'topics'    ); ?>
		<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics'    ); ?>
	<?php else : ?>
		<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'feedback',   'no-topics' ); ?>
	<?php endif; ?>
	<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_after_topics_index' ); ?>

I didn’t touch much of the template files.
The problem is pagination.
For example second page in pagination links to http://example.com/page/2
where my forums are located at http://example.com/boards
where I try to navigate to http://example.com/boards/page/2 it gives me an 404.

——

Also interesting what I found:
first archive-forum-home template:

<div id="bbpress-forums" class="forum-news">
	<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_before_forums_index' ); ?>
	<?php if ( bbp_has_forums() ) : ?>
		<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop',     'forums-home'    ); ?>
	<?php else : ?>
		<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'feedback', 'no-forums' ); ?>
	<?php endif; ?>
	<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_after_forums_index' ); ?>
</div>

so when I delete everything inside, now pagination points to
http://example.com/boards/forum/SOMEFORUMNAME/page/2/

I don’t get how it chose this SOMEFORUMNAME..

Maybe you guys here have an idea what going on
If you need any more information I can provide, please ask

Thanks

[jezza101]

update: Submitted to the WP repository for approval, it’s here if anyone wants the zip. Note that this is a 1st release and whilst I have checked it works I have done limited “real world” testing. This will add a db read/write to each page load so that may have an impact – personally I think it’s unlikely on all but the bigger sites but who knows until tested.

Hi,

First I would like to say well done to the folks at bbPress. It was a breeze migrating the site, and while it’s different then what I’m used to using (phpBB type forums), I’m really diggin the integration it has with our new WP site.

Anyhow, after I migrated the forums everything is working, but in bbPress all my subforums are now individual forums. The title of my phpBB forum was Obutto, but it appears I don’t need this Obutto forum anymore, is this correct?

If it is correct, how do I remove it? So far I just have it listed as a Category. So far I tried sending it to the trash but then I couldn’t view the other forums. I almost went to delete it permanently but was afraid I might lose data, so thought it may be a good idea to get some proper advice.

Thanks for your time!

Chris

Just knocked up a little proof of concept and it seems to work well. I’m using the inbuilt WP post meta functionality to record a count that gets incremented each time the page is viewed.

As mentioned above, who knows if this would be a big performance hit and how it would work with cache plugins etc??

Anyway, I just need to display the counts somewhere and then I’ll pop the plugin into the repository. If it gets some traction we could look at making it better, although perhaps this is something that will be put into bbpress core at some point?

[Stephen Edgar]

That site is the old bbPress 0.9/1.x version… The bbPress 2.x plugin does not support number of or users online.

For the other stats you can use the bbPress shortcode [bbp-stats] To display the forum statistics on any page or the widget for your sidebar.

[Stephen Edgar]

Private messages are not imported as bbPress cannot handle PM’s at this stage…

It would be nice to import them into a compatible format for BuddyPress down the track 😉

Agreed, I can only hack the URL of the WordPress admin dashboard to get me ~250 users at a time and yes it is tedious and in the past I have done most of this directly in phpMyAdmin with SQL.

@leahcar8/

Great news that the conversion finished 🙂

The post counts in the backend and frontend should match so that has me a little curious to what is going on with that… Any chance you could post a couple of screenshots showing those numbers?

Thanks for the testing offer, I’ll let you know 🙂

[SidianMSJones]

Ahh, I didn’t realize that. Thank you.

I’m looking for a way to give users the option (while creating a forum post) to change a few things, such as give a post a light blue background, or put a star in the upper corner. This would be very useful to find if a plugin could provide such functionality.

[SidianMSJones]

I just found this out myself and am pretty excited. I’m looking for a way to give users a few options while creating a forum post, which changes the look of the post or other small changes in functionality (post gets a light blue background, or includes a star in the upper corner).
