I had a member post a snippet or two of php in a couple of replies without closing the tag. The order of the replies are now messed up. Sometimes a reply will post up before the last one. Sometimes it will go to the top. On some topics they seem to be fine.

I have deleted all of the entries that had code in them. I have run the repair tools several times.

I have even installed the “Sort topic replies” plugin. The sorting does not appear to be working with that, however the option to always have the main topic post at the top does work and does make it a bit better.

I’m using the latest version and the link is http://www.dualcreatives.com/forums/ but most of this is happening in the private member forums. The public forum only has a few and I don’t see it happening on those.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I might fix this?

Yikes! See previous post immediately above… when I finished with the above tests, I returned to the root forum display (public view) and the one forum I’d started setting up was gone, I assume as a byproduct of my 2 failed post attempts above. It was still present in the admin view of the forums, and editing/updating it (correcting some spelling in the headline and description) made it re-appear in the public view…

Gonna go try a couple of other forum plug-ins now, but wish I could use the one supported by WP creators… hopefully, we’ll get a solution soon and can come back to this plug-in…

ok, so something is turning it off.

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Then come back

I suspect that your theme or another plugin might be interfering.

Yes, I will set this up on my computer.

Is there a tool to test a testing site’s performance – in terms of loading speed? That is the principle problem I am facing.

Thank you so much for your help.

[Robin W]

ok, I’d strongly recommend you have a testing site.

Creating a Test Site

Whilst it will take an initial effort to set up, it is well worthwhile

[adanoski]

I have WordPress 4.5.3 running AccessPress Pro theme on my site with the latest version of bbpress at 2.5.10.

I have the Search Function in my forum unfortunately the forum is not public. When I try to search, it only searches through the WordPress posts that I’ve created and not through the forum. I’ve searched with words that I know are included in the topics and topic names.

The search is doing the literal opposite of what I want it to do and what it says it should be doing.

[drkkd]

Thanks so much, Robin, for responding. But I have essential plugins like S2member enabled. I deactivate them and my entire business will collapse. I have customer roles in the plugin.

Is there some way to do this without bothering the main site?

Also, the problem is occurring at user end. I deactivate each plugin, it will take 24 hours just for the effect to happen, then contacting each customer for a report. Then repeat with another plugin. I have many plugins.

Is there an easier way to do the testing?

Thanks again for responding. This is awesome, this support system.

The site isn’t public but I have a test account available.

Thanks @davelr1, great feedback, we’ll write some PHPUnit tests and and do some benchmarks of the two solutions in #1925 next, hopefully that will help us make the right decision to move forward with this ticket 🙂

Hi folks,

SMF 2.0.7 to bbpress 2.5.10 import
Wordpress version 4.5.3

I’ve just imported the SMF forums here on my server –

http://www.holistic-counseling.ca/Forums/index.php

to bbpress here on my server:

http://nutopia.cc/Holistic-Counseling-WP/holistic-counseling-community-forums/

you’ll need to login to see.
user test

At first glance, everything appears fine, although the number in the Posts column seems to be a product of adding the number of topics to the number of replies in a given forum. I don’t mind this.
Freshness shows zero, but that’s not a big deal either bc A) I can fix the freshness (but it results in losing posts and replies in the forums. B) Once new forum posts happen, it will repopulate.

now here’s the main issue
Upon clicking on a forum, it says:

This forum contains 8 topics and 15 replies.

Viewing 4 topics – 1 through 4 (of 4 total)

So the top area states how many topics there are accurately but then only 4 are actually displayed.
This problem is consistent across the other forums. (sometimes only 3 or 2 are displayed when more are stated above)

Any idea what that is about? It’s the main issue.

note: i did a repair Recalculate last activity in each topic and forum
and then the bottom forum dropped to 0 and 0.
Any of the forum repairs that I use that involve Topics creates problems in the number of topics and replies and doesn’t fix anything.

HELP is much appreciated.

note 2: here are the messages from the import
(I think nothing appears out of order to me, but maybe there are some issues with this)

Hello
I am beginner, and wanted to edit topic descriptions please tell me exact path from where it is coming, I am using Emmet LiteVersion: 1.4.3 theme and latest version of bbpress.

[smithcreate]

When I place the shortcode in a page, it renders the form as expected. And when I enter a username or email address, the form submits and refreshes the current page.

Example: http://www.ccghpa.com/test01/

So with the shortcode in a widget on my forums page I would expect the form to submit and refresh the current page. Instead, it jumps to a random forum.

I recently moved VB to bbpress for my forum.
i pruned a lot before moving.
9k users now.
20k topics
115k replies

I managed the import ok. the key to this is pateiance to a certain degree. the 2.6 alpha i am running worked better for the import than 2.5

However. if moving from VB your in for a bit of a shock. as it does not work the same way. so please do double check everythign before you move. one of my other posts has a plugin to create VB like urls as i came from vbseo across to bbpress which has a very different hierarchy.
however it does put your forum into wordpress which opens up amny other options. which is why i did it.

If you need any help let me know and i will do what i can to advise what i ahve done / used to make bbpress more like vb.

Two major things to not do
Do not leave the default notifications enabled when you move the forum. mine sent every notification ever out again. somethign like 250k emails got sent every time i did the import.
And on top of that i had several test versions so by the time i realised i had well and truly pissed a lot of people off.
Secondly the basic spam filters bbpress uses are different to how vb works and will possibly block some users. I know new moderation stuff is due in the near future but its not in yet so the spam options available are a bit difficult to work with.

Hi,

I’m using bbPress 2.6-alpha on one site and I was wandering what was a recommended way of keeping that installation up to date with the latest 2.6 code? WP doesn’t report any updates but I guess important updates are made on code and they end up in that ZIP on Download page, right?

[aeneas1]

thanks for the replies… i’ve purchased and installed the “socialize” theme that seems to be designed to work well with bbpress and buddypress, so far i’m having fun playing with the endless options, albeit there certainly is a learning curve to the whole wp/bbpress/buddypress/theme thing…

i have a quick question tho about the url paths, the slugs i think they’re called…

1. when i navigate to the forum section using the home page forum link i see this in the address bar:

http://www.website.com/forums/

2. when i click a forum listed in one of the categories i see this in the address bar:

http://www.website.com/forums/forum/category name/forum name/

and when i click on a topic in the forum list is see:

3. http://test.website.com/forums/topic/topic name/

why does “forum” show after “forums” in the second example? why not:

http://www.website.com/forums/category name/forum name/

You shouldn’t need to download the .po or .mo files anymore

You should be able to change your WordPress install language to Spanish and WordPress will automatically download the WordPress translations for you, this will also include the latest bbPress translations and any other theme or plugin that has Spanish translations.

bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes

I wanted to start a new topic, but didn’t see any options, and this topic is exactly what I would have said.

I imported my SMF forums to bbpress with mostly success.

here’s my not yet published site
http://nutopia.cc/Holistic-Counseling-WP/holistic-counseling-community-forums/
you’ll need to login to see forums
username: test
p.w: 123456

2 issues (that still need to be fixed).

1) The main forums area of the forums has counted all the correct number of topics and replies, but once clicking on a Forum, at the top of the page, the #1 of topics are again, correct, but then it says a fewer amount of topics.

eg on Introduce Yourself forum –

This forum contains 8 topics and 15 replies.
Viewing 4 topics – 1 through 4 (of 4 total)

This occurred in all forums.

How to fix?

2) My forum posts (I’m admin) appears as anonymous. All other users are fine.
How to fix?

Please and thanks a bunch.
