Hi,

I would like to put in my WP menu a customized navigation button that leads the logged in current user to his/her bbpress profile.

Basically, I want the WP menu bar to have a button that enables the user to navigate to his/her bbpress profile. What is the CCS function code to put in the menu bar?

Currently it’s too complicated for a user to find his/her bbpress profile and navigate to the forum area. Any information would be appreciated.

Hi *,

I’m trying to setup bbPress and BuddyPress in a bi-language site being English and Dutch. I’m using the PolyLang plugin for that.
However, after following the instructions, everything stays in English.
Any suggestions how to make things work?

Best regards,
Will Moonen

Hi,
I have a buddypress installation + bbpress1, with more than 12000 topic replies. I tried migrating to bbpress2 on the host (online). but after lots of timeout errors, I tried in a localhost. but the problem is, it takes a long time to repair forums. I’m waiting 4 hours for “Recalculate last activity in each topic and forum” beig done, but still it’s on progress.
what can I do to do the migrating process faster?

As I am watching this support forum, most of the time members are left to solve their own problems. Replies 0 (I know that I made this post 3 hours ago but I am reffering in general).

Duh

[senton1]

I don’t think this challenge is related to bbpress, this is apparently a buddpress problem

[zwang]

I have figured out how to fix it. Thanks!

I’m am using the plugin “Tabbed Login Widget” which I would like to modify so that user profile page points to the BBpress profile instead on the WP profile page.

But I do not know what URL to use?

[zwang]

Hi guys,

On my site, bbPress and the “Recent Post” widget of my blog conflict. Could anyone please give me some clue to fix this?

Wordpress version:３.6
bbPress version: 2.3.2
My site:http://geekroo.com/site/forums

Please refer to the right sidebar and the footer on the page.

Cheers!

Karl

Hi

This is such a simple request so I’m probably being an idiot but I can’t find a clear answer anywhere!

I need to display the number of post a user has made on my forum

I am using the BBPress plugin for WordPress.

[zerocoolflo]

Hell everyone,

First I want to thank the developers for doing such a great job with this plugin (I just discovered it) and I hope I’ll get it working.

I installed bbPress on my website and observed it ruined the forum’s sidebar (practically, the old sidebar was still active but pushed down and looked weird and at the top of the forum’s sidebar I had a message “comments are closed on this page”).

Nonetheless I discovered the problem:

Well, I am using the thesis theme on my website and I customized all my posts to show related posts by inserting this code in custom.css file:

function my_related_posts() {
if (is_single()) {
global $post;
$current_post = $post->ID;
$categories = get_the_category();
foreach ($categories as $category) :
?>
<div class=”my-recent-posts”><h4>Additional Reading…</h4>

<?php
$posts = get_posts(‘numberposts=5&category=’. $category->term_id . ‘&exclude=’ . $current_post);
foreach($posts as $post) :
?>
• “><?php the_title(); ?>

<?php endforeach; ?><?php endforeach; ?>

</div>
<?php
}
wp_reset_query();
}
add_action(‘thesis_hook_after_post’,’my_related_posts’);

I absolutely want to keep related posts on my posts.

When I delete this “related posts code”, the sidebar works as it should.

Any workaround/Suggestions?

[Stephen Edgar]

Thanks for reporting this 🙂

I’ll try to update the importer as soon as I can to import any username that includes white space eg. Member Name to member_name or member-name.

This needs a bit of thought on a patch as it will affect all of the bbPress importers 😉

[capacitron]

I actually found an issue with the MyBB Forum Importer. Since MyBB allows and accepts Usernames with spaces in between words: i.e. “John Smith” and WordPress does not, WordPress is generating URL’s for those users as i.e. “John%20Smith” which produces a 404 and prevents editing of profiles and such. It is the very problem discussed in this BuddyPress topic: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/spaces-in-username-causing-problems/
Which was never resolved.
I’m currently searching for a quick SQL query where I can remove all the “%20″‘s occurring in those URL’s.

[Stephen Edgar]

Probably not, an educated guess would be only a slight improvement over SSD.

[gcoz]

I’m already running it on an SSD. Would RAM Drive still improve the performance significantly?

[Stephen Edgar]

Another option you have is to install a ‘RAM Drive’ just for the MySQL data using symbolic links for the MySQL data store (make sure you regularly copy & backup this data) and this will vastly improve performance over any mechanical hard disk.

[gcoz]

thanks for checking the queries. I believe it’s not your importer, actually…
I think there’s just an issue with my databases. I did the optimization for all tables, made another local copy (a brand new installation of Ubuntu with default settings for apache, php and the largest settings for mysql allowing it to use more resources).
However, after some more digging, I’m starting to think that my tables are the reason for this slow-down. Specifically them being a mix of MyISAM and InnoDB after many years of conversions, WP updates and one forum conversion from phpbb to vanilla.

I tried to get some out-of-memory errors but all it does is slow it down and it keeps going really slowly. Even setting it to 2000 rows at 1 second doesn’t seem to push it to run out of memory. The “top” command just shows me that it’s working away at 60% CPU and 11% memory for mysql and 50% CPU and 2% memory for apache.

MySQL workbench shows that I only have 6 connections active, which is probably another related issue. I don’t know how to change that but my current running test conversion is with all WP tables converted to InnoDB. It fluctuates at 50-200 writes per second according to MySQL workbench

This is total guesswork on my end (I’m no expert) and I thought it might be a helpful starting point for others with similar issues…

Download and install the plugin from https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/

How to creat a forum with BBpress in my site?

[Stephen Edgar]

I just had a quick look at the SQL queries for both topics and replies and they are both very similar and the time per 100 records should not differ greatly.

It might be that the ‘posts’ table might have some SQL overhead and the table needs to be ‘optimized’, your web host should have an FAQ detailing how to ‘optimize’ your database tables with phpMyAdmin.

[MediaSVI]

Cool lets hope it works out. I am afraid to update as it says “Trunk version may break your site” in RED. In the Plugin area.

[gcoz]

Thanks for the link, I had a read through the topic and I did see those dashes mentioned over there pop up twice in my import so far. All I needed to do, was to reload the Tools/Forum page with the importer, add all the db details and hit start.
It picked it up where it left off (no way for me to verify at this stage if anything got messed up but that was the only error I could see)…

The one odd thing I noticed was that the topic import is blazingly fast but the replies are very slow. Not sure if there’s a reason for that?

I lowered the delay to 1 second but looking at the rate at which posts are added to the “reply” post-type, it’s not really speeding up the process. Maybe my MySQL config might be to blame there if it’s not catching up?

Might have to try it on a different machine locally if 6 hours is possible for this kind of import. At this rate it’ll take another 4-5 days which is enough time to set up another machine for testing and letting it run for a while.

[Stephen Edgar]

Seems a little strange, some recent vBulletin conversions here have been a similar size and completed circa 6-7 hours.

As long as your web host MySQL is up to scratch (presumably so as per your existing Vanilla forum size) you should be able to reduce the delay from 3 seconds down to 1 or even 0.5 or 0.1 if you are doing it locally. This will reduce the time between each SQL query.

Did the importer stall or was it still plodding along eg. ‘Converting replies 21,800 – 21,900’

bbPress 2.4 is not far away, download the release candidate from here:

bbPress 2.4 – Release Candidate 1

There was a lot of cool work done to make bbPress responsive as detailed
in Ticket #1933.

[MediaSVI]

I am building a new site that I want to be totally responsive and it is but for bbPress. In the picture you can see that when bbPress is resized the content of a post goes down to half & half…meaning half of the posts content area goes to member avatar/user name/User Role & half goes to content area.

What I would like to do is move the member avatar/user name/User Role to the top part of the post and have the Member Name and Role to the “right” of the avatar with a line below and then leave the full with of the content area for the post content. This would help a great deal in making bbPress more responsive. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
