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.

probably a conflict –

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.

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.

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.

[cluciftias]

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.

[Robin W]

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

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.

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.

Hi Ziga,

Hmm, weird. Even with latest build of 2.6 i still have an issue, with an imported database from phpbb. But thanks anyway 🙂

[Dysschord]

I have tried searching, and haven’t found this issue. I may not be using proper terms.

The email notifications are being sent just fine. However, they all are proceeded by a bunch of characters, i.e. similar to the following (plus there are strange codes within the email itself)

=?UTF-8?Q?ly=20To:=20Safety=20in=20Chir?==?UTF-8?Q?iqui?=
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

The subject lines are fine. However, there are also lines of the notification showing extraneous codes and line breaks in strange places, including middle of a word, like the following:

A new reply has been posted by a user. Please login to read full p=
osting and respond.
IMPORTANT: You cannot reply to forum postings via email. You must be logged=
in to reply.=20

Lastly, the end of the excerpts show codes too, such as =E2=80=A6

Using latest version of WP and plugin.

[packzap]

Some users are getting their posts and new topics flagged in my bbPress/Wordpress site as spam. They are long-time contributors with valid and thoughtful comments. It seems that bbPress occasionally gets too aggressive flagging valid posts as spam. I am running the latest bbPress (2.5.10) and WordPress (4.5.3) versions. Is there anyway to correct this situation?

[Stephen Edgar]

bbPress compatible with PHP 7 and HHVM

The warnings you see are from a 3rd party library, these issues would only affect you if you are importing forums from another forum software package.

You can see our Travis CI PHP 7 tests here: https://travis-ci.org/ntwb/bbPress/jobs/147321446
(We don’t have 100% code coverage yet but we are progressing nicely)

[Texiwill]

Hello,

I ran the PHP 7 Compatibility test against bbPress with the following results. Be nice if they could be fixed so I can use bbPress with PHP 7.

The latest version of bbPress is 2.5.10, 2.6 will be the next major release and 2.6.1.1 does not, nor will probably ever exist…

[jlarsen01]

The link didn’t help… 🙁

When I do a search in BBPress with a single word like “Computer” if works fine… but when I add “Computer Test” in the BBPress search it puts a “+” symbol between Computer and test in the URL string. If I remove the “+” and just use a space or a %20 it works fine.

[Stephen Edgar]

Fingers crossed for your localhost test

[Robkk]

I rolled back bbPress since I read they changed their mail headers in 2.5.4 – so I went from the latest (2.5.9) to 2.5.3

Update it to the latest version.

Edited the database and added multiple addresses in the wp_options field for admin – still no notifications.

Maybe consider reverting this to what you had previously.

Did you do all what is described below @benjieblock?

Create a forum and subscribe to the forum, and create a topic with your admin account and also subscribe to it on a live test site to test these subscriptions in.

Create a test participant user to just post test posts in that topic you just created to test topic subscription emails, and create topics in the forum to test forum subscription emails.

I guess now just check on your Admin/Keymaster email {your admin user email} to see if any of them sent.

This is just troubleshooting to see if you can even get 1 subscription email, either topic or forum subscription emails using bbPress by default without any new plugins.

If it works without any plugins we can go from there.

IF it doesn’t we need to find a plugin/theme/custom code snippet that might be causing an issue.

Also in the future the larger your forums grow and if you allow both subscription emails for every mod and keymaster in your forum, you will need to consider using smtp and AsynCRONous bbPress Subscriptions.
