Be clear, where did you add his code? Did you make a new functions file?

i created a child theme with mesocolumn

i added robins code and it worked fine.

even when i switched to a different role

[cybarmitzvah]

Uhh?? Where did I loose you? … and where is stpehen Edgar?

I do not have a functions file in my child theme. I tried creating a blank file and calling it functions.php and the code just showed up on the top of my page. Then I tried just adding that code you gave me to the mesocolumn functions file and once again the code just screwed up and showed up at the top of my page under the admin bar.

So, once again, what should I do from here?

Ohh and there is no white space.

Thank You,
JB

should be something like

add_filter ('bbp_get_title_max_length','change_title') ;

Function change_title ($default) {
$default=60 ;
Return $default ;
}

try this in your functions file – if not come back, but suppers ready and I haven’t time to test!

[cybarmitzvah]

ok, I will delete it, but then, where do I put the code?

Hi Luisc9,

I dont have an anwer for you as I have taken BBPress down for the moment. All I can say is, I have a coder who charges me $15 an hour to fix this kind of stuff. Got him from Elance and he is good and trustworthy. For people who aren’t all that good at fixing this type of stuff, its worth it – well for me it is anyway. Hope someone replies to you soon.

Hi,

I have finally converted a large forum over to bbPress from Vbulletin,
The bbPress forum page and threads etc are quite slow – Im just using bbPress + BuddyPress with Twenty Twelve theme at the moment while I code my forum theme.

The bbPress section of the site is slow – there is a few seconds delay when clicking a thread or onto the forum page itself so guessing this is due to the size – 850k replies, 61k topics and 21k users.

I wondered if there were any tweaks or recommendations for speeding up the site, Im on my own dedicated server and Vbulletin is blazing fast on it.

I saw this thread – http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/slow-to-post-forum-topics-and-replies-on-large-forum/ where it mentioned a speed increase in 2.6 for larger forums, any news on that ? Or anything I can try now to test it out ?

I read that hidden forums might make a difference so I unhid the forum but no speed increase.

[Robin W]

the error code is saying that you have whitespace in

wp-content/themes/awesome/functions.php:1

If this is a blank file, then delete it.

If not, then it has a problem on line 1

yep, all the same information and still coming up with:

WordPress database error: [Table 'db502829828.node' doesn't exist]

I tried changing permalinks but the forums won’t display at all. All that shows is the forum short code.

[Stephen Edgar]

Verify you have used the correct database values from your Xenforo config.php file, it should be in your Xenforo /library folder.

e.g.

$config['db']['host'] = 'localhost';

$config['db']['port'] = '3306';

$config['db']['username'] = 'my_db_user_name';

$config['db']['password'] = 'my_db_user_password';

$config['db']['dbname'] = 'my_db_name';

[Stephen Edgar]

1- You would need a ‘membership’ plugin that supports bbPress, there are a few in the WordPress plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/
2- You can fully customize bbPress to match any theme or custom design you want, see the docs for more info. https://codex.bbpress.org/

thank you so much Gautam it worked for me .

bbpress/includes/core/filters.php : added :

add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_content',   'bbp_rel_nofollow'              );
add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_content',   'bbp_rel_nofollow' 	       );

bbPress does not have pingbacks enabled for it’s post types, they are explicitly disabled.

Could you be more specific and post a link to some examples and I’ll take a look.

* Is it happening on all three bbPress custom post types?

* forum, topic and reply are the tree post types and a link to one of each that this is happening with will allow me to investigate why.

* I can’t think of a plugin for bbPress that changes the ping status of the custom post types but just in case can you disable all your plugins except bbPress and create a new forum, a topic in that forum and a reply to that topic and then create a WordPress post with a link to each of the three and see if you see any pingbacks.

[Stephen Edgar]

I’ve just tested this with bbPress 2.5.4 and Twenty Fourteen with no other active plugins:

* Created a page /123 and added the [bbp-forum-form] shortcode
* Opened that page /123
* Entered 123 as the forum title and description
* Selected forum for the forum type
* Selected open for the forum status
* Selected Public for forum visibility
* Selected root for parent forum (Root is another forum I already had setup)
* Clicked submit and the forum is created and I am redirected to create a new topic in that forum e.g. /forums/forum/root/123/

Hi Stephen / @netweb

I was finally able to run a complete conversion without any restarts. The MyBB SQL of the database was 435,9 Mb big. We cleaned a lot of the old forum. It contained 1 million+ messages, close to 40k topics and a 400+ members.

The conversion ran for roughly 48 hours on a MacBook Air with i7, 8Gb memory and a 500Gb Solid State drive under MAMP.

For people who want to do such a big conversion, I also had to tweak a lot of the PHP ini files to import such a big query and get maximum throughput. Below a summary. It took me a while to find all the necessary settings.

Copy /applications/mamp/library/support-files/my-huge.cnf and rename to /Applications/MAMP/conf/my.cnf
Change in my.cnf setting [mysqld]max_allowed_packet = 1000M
Change in /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.5.10/conf/php.ini settings
max_execution_time = 259200,
max_input_time = 259200,
memory_limit = 6144M,
upload_max_filesize = 1000M,
post_max_size = 1000M,
mysql.connect_timeout = 1000.
Add or change in Applications/MAMP/bin/phpMyAdmin/config.inc.php setting $cfg['ExecTimeLimit'] = 0;
Don’t forget to restart MAMP.

I ran the conversion with the following settings: Rows Limit 10,000 and Delay Time 0. During the conversion my memory was around 50% and CPU was very low. Most likely it is possible to squeeze out more performance.

I did a lot of random checks and the outcome seems ok-ish. Not quite sure about some things and have some questions. Please bear with me 😉

Some topics are not combined correctly. All replies are separate topics. The ‘Recalculate the parent topic for each post’ does not fix this. I ran all repair queries btw. An option in the Topics interface to combine these, would be ace 😉 Is it possible to correct this with a query? My SQL skills are too limited unfortunately.

The Repair Forums option ‘Recalculate the position of each reply’ does not work. It creates a white screen. Load problem?

myBB accepts spaces in the login name. Unfortunately WordPress does not. The conversion leaves the spaces in the login name. Is it possible to correct this with an SQL? Is there another workaround? Correcting them one by one is not my preference 😉

Two forums are created double. The copies do not contain any topics or replies, so it is easy to remove them. Just thought you should know 😉

The original myBB forum contained 1mlj+ messages and 36k+ discussions. The converted forum contains 109k subjects. That can be explained because of the first issue. But it only contains 830k replies. It could be that myBB adds subjects and replies to messages, but the difference is a bit too big. Is it possible to do an SQL checksum to check the expected output?

Thanks in advance for your time!

A massive copy and paste of your code is not helpful, no one wants to read a wall of code with no formatting, next time use the “code” button in the toolbar to wrap your code so it’s a little easier to read, also only post the specific parts of the code that is relevant.

Either way, I’m closing this as a duplicate of your other post as that was readable and I’ve answered it. https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/pagination-on-forum-listing-page/

[Stephen Edgar]

This really isn’t a bbPress issue, it is more of a WordPress issue.

Your web host should be able to do some things via firewall rules.

A good starter doc is https://codex.wordpress.org/Combating_Comment_Spam , conceptually it is the same thing, you have some ‘content’ that spammers want to get in on, in this case rather than comments it’s your bbPress forums and/or topics.

bbPress uses WordPress user system for user authentication (login registration etc)

I know it’s probably ideally not what you were looking for but is the state of things.

A couple more thoughts would be to verify your Akismet API key is valid and Akismet is actually catching what spam it can. I’d also look to adding “capcha” plugin that supports the bbPress, there’s a few of these in WordPress plugin directory.

[Stephen Edgar]

Check out some of our docs, scroll down past the main headers on the following link and you’ll see some tutorials: https://codex.bbpress.org/

If you want a capcha for your site search the WordPress plugins for “bbPress Capcha”, there are a couple of these I think from memory.

[Stephen Edgar]

Check out some of the docs, there’s a link at the top of this page.

If you don’t want particular widgets in a sidebar remove those widgets, this is not a bbPress issue so we have nothing to fix here.

If you don’t want a sidebar, use a template from your theme that doesn’t include a sidebar.

suspect you have a whitespace in your functions file

Whitespace before <?php when “functions.php line 1” mentioned

If the message says the error is in line 1, then it is typically leading whitespace, text or HTML before the opening <?php marker.

eg

 <?php

not

<?php

[cybarmitzvah]

Hi I just tried to add your code to the site.

add_filter('show_admin_bar', '__return_false');
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/vaghar123/public_html/wp-content/themes/awesome/functions.php:1) in /home/vaghar123/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1121

and tat was the error I got from a non admin account.

I have a weird bug going on with my Static Homepage.

We are using the plugin called Store Locator (http://wordpress.org/plugins/store-locator-le/) to show office locations. It’s a fairly simple plugin called by a shortcode in a page to display a map and list of offices.

When I installed bbPress in addition to this Store Locator plugin, my static homepage was no longer working and my homepage reverted to a generic list of recent posts. (The static page was set in all settings correctly).

This happens on every theme, including twentyfourteen, only when both plugins are activated at the same time.

Is there any hook or reason that these two plugins would affect the static homepage?

Thank you!
