fuskeren i do have a dev site up test.vpinball.com Ive spent so much time trying to get normal speed im at a loss at this point.

[randrcomputers]

I have tried for months to speed up site but nothing is working. Submitting a post can take 20 sec. everything is slow. Cant find anything to help ive tried 3 host’s VPS, CDN Everything and still slow. Seems switching now wont be easy but im loosing members due to speed. Anyone have link to anyone who can help? or is switching to another forum software only answer? I tested regular forum software and is instant response but i see no easy way to convert the bbpress forums 🙁

vpinball.com is the site

Hmm, I also just noticed that some topics from the migrated database with only a few pages (4 pages in the one I just tested) don’t seem to have this issue.

I designed some the forum topics to be long, ongoing threads. For example, we have a “Music” thread that currently has 7,674 replies (15 per page, so 512 pages total). Could the issue simply be that the thread is so large, that bbPress somehow doesn’t do the calculation?

I have read in some support threads about issues with pagination on bbPress when dealing with large numbers, perhaps it is related to that?

Some additional details that may be related: I have nested replies turned off (and they were never turned on). Also, all of my categories are set to hidden.

When I use my test account, there’s no option for normal users to edit their posts, and there definitely used to be! I’ve disabled all my plugins one at a time, and it doesn’t seem to help. Any ideas, or thoughts on what I can add in where to make the edit button come back?

@robin-w I do have access to phpmyadmin. I have been looking around, and the only thing that looks fishy is that the “guid” varchar(255) row has my old local environment in the URL instead of my live domain. So it is http://localhost/forum/topic/title/ when it should be http://example.com/forum/topic/title/ – But after I tried to correct that for the post and the postmeta of the thread’s latest reply (in a safe environment) it didn’t seem to fix the problem. I did notice that my old local URL was hardcoded over 220,000 times in my database though, I wonder if this is something that needs to be corrected for each topic/reply.

I tried to get creative by changing the “Replies Per Page” in wp-admin > Settings > Forums to a different number. That successfully recalculated the correct number of pages required for the non-affected threads (I set it from 15 replies per page to 30 replies per page, so a thread with 10 pages was updated with 5 pages, and the latest reply link updated to point to page 5), but the affected threads still have no “/page/##/” segment in the URL.

ok, thanks – sorry it’s sometimes hard to understand the obvious until you see it !

so I’m presuming that there should be some content to that post?!

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.

Themes

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

[christopheran]

Thank you both very much – I am testing this out right now!

[Robin W]

Also I am not sure there is a visitor WordPress role.

oops… no there isn’t – old code left on my test site !

and who gets what were just examples 🙂

[Robin W]

not tested, but the following in your functions file should do it

you’ll need to edit the code for which role does what

add_action('wp_login', 'rew_assign_role_on_login', 10, 2);

//this function assigns user to bbp roles on login
function rew_assign_role_on_login($user_login, $user) {
	$user_id = $user->ID ; 
	$role = get_role($use_id) ; 
	if (empty ($role)) return ; //has no role in the database
	if ($role == 'administrator' )  $new_role = 'bbp_keymaster' ;
	if ($role == 'editor' )  $new_role = 'bbp_moderator' ;
	if ($role == 'author' )  $new_role = 'bbp_moderator' ;
	if ($role == 'contributor' )  $new_role = 'bbp_participant' ;
	if ($role == 'visitor' )  $new_role = 'bbp_blocked' ;
	if ($role == 'subscriber' )  $new_role = 'bbp_spectator' ;
	bbp_set_user_role( $user_id, $new_role) 
	}

Hi all,

On my forum, the latest Topic / freshest Topic sometimes shows the wrong topic as you can see here:
http://imgur.com/E1Y9Bu9 newest post is about 1 day, 18 hours old.

It always reverts back to the same thread, which was comverted from a phpbb forum.

I have tried recounting using the integrated tools, but that does not seem to work, however when i post a new topic it will work as intended showing the right post for about a day or two, and then go back.

[sharmavishal]

maybe this can help

https://gist.github.com/sc0ttkclark/e5de9d9f2f13964bcecc

and

https://wordpress.org/plugins/multisite-bbpress-slave/

i tested both and was not able to get it working on my setup

[Robin W]

just tested and bulk change isn’t working on my test site either

[Brandon Allen]

The unit tests are passing, so my guess is that it’s a problem with a plugin, or (less likely) your PHP setup. The $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] doesn’t include the protocol (http:// or https:// in most cases), so that shouldn’t be an issue.

My guess is that there is some other plugin that’s filtering bbp_get_do_not_reply_address incorrectly. Maybe even some code in your theme’s functions.php file. Could provide a list of the plugins you’re using. Specifically, bbPress or email related plugins?

Just installed bbPress on latest version of WordPress and the forum search feature does not work. When I do a search, it searches blog posts instead – actually only ever finds one blog post even if the search text does not exist. It does not search the forum.

Whats going on?

[kavehmovahedi]

Hi,
I have the latest version of wordpress running (4.5.2) and latest version of bbPress.
Everything was working just fine before i moved my host from windows to Linux server.
Now i can see the forums and topics in each forum. but when i open a topic the content and replies are not shown in the pages, only the reply form shows up.
I can see the replies in the admin panel but clicking view from back end opens the front end reply to … without the reply content.

I have already tried these :
1) disabling all other plugins
2) switching to wordpress default themes
3) creating a new page with bbPress shortcode
4) copying the php code provided in other forums
5) removing and re-installing bbPress

it’s driving me crazy ! i have tried all 2 links on google’s 2 first pages for search results of “bbPress content not showing up”, “bbPress topic content not showing”, “bbPress replies not shown”,…

Best Regards,
Kaveh

Hi everybody,

I’ve been trying as suggested bbpress 2.6 alpha but the PhpBB import fails right at the beginning.
I’ve been already importing successfully by using the latest 2 versions and I’ve never faced this error before.

Also take into account I am running the import in the same environment and against the same data set.
Here the error:

SELECT convert(users.user_id USING “utf8mb4”) AS user_id,convert(users.user_password USING “utf8mb4”) AS user_password,convert(users.user_form_salt USING “utf8mb4”) AS user_form_salt,convert(users.username USING “utf8mb4”) AS username,convert(users.user_email USING “utf8mb4”) AS user_email,convert(profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_website USING “utf8mb4”) AS pf_phpbb_website,convert(users.user_regdate USING “utf8mb4”) AS user_regdate,convert(profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_aol USING “utf8mb4”) AS pf_phpbb_aol,convert(profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_yahoo USING “utf8mb4”) AS pf_phpbb_yahoo,convert(profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_icq USING “utf8mb4”) AS pf_phpbb_icq,convert(profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_wlm USING “utf8mb4”) AS pf_phpbb_wlm,convert(profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_facebook USING “utf8mb4”) AS pf_phpbb_facebook,convert(profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_googleplus USING “utf8mb4”) AS pf_phpbb_googleplus,convert(profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_skype USING “utf8mb4”) AS pf_phpbb_skype,convert(profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_twitter USING “utf8mb4”) AS pf_phpbb_twitter,convert(profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_youtube USING “utf8mb4”) AS pf_phpbb_youtube,convert(users.user_jabber USING “utf8mb4”) AS user_jabber,convert(profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_occupation USING “utf8mb4”) AS pf_phpbb_occupation,convert(profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_interests USING “utf8mb4”) AS pf_phpbb_interests,convert(users.user_sig USING “utf8mb4”) AS user_sig,convert(profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_location USING “utf8mb4”) AS pf_phpbb_location,convert(users.user_avatar USING “utf8mb4”) AS user_avatar FROM forum_users AS users LEFT JOIN forum_profile_fields_data AS profile_fields_data USING (user_id) WHERE users.user_type !=2 LIMIT 0, 100

Not sure yet what the problem is.
I’ll do my little investigation and I’ll let you know.

I am very new to wordpress and installed bbpress, but I’ve noticed that I don’t have the option to delete a post I created. How can I generate a link for this on created posts?

Update: I realise that you need to be a moderator. I was testing with a standard/ordinary account.

Thanks!

I’ll test these fixes out and see what happens.

Yes! It turns out it’s a known issue with Learndash. That link goes to a support log-in for their FAQ, which provides a workaround. To be honest, I only found out about this after stopping using LearnDash, because the problem made the site essentially unusable. So I haven’t tested it for myself.

After upgrading to PHP 5.5 and running a compatibility test on a site, it has flagged the use of a deprecated modifier being used in preg_replace functions.
These occur on lines 1149 and 1150 in file /includes/admin/parser.php

1149 | ERROR | preg_replace() – /e modifier is deprecated in PHP 5.5
1150 | ERROR | preg_replace() – /e modifier is deprecated in PHP 5.5

Could you please let me know the best way to replace the code with the preg_replace_callback function and let me know if this is likely to be updated in a future patch as this can be seen as a security concern.

Thank you

Hi,
I have “Recent Forum Topics” on my homepage with the latest forum topic posts and it includes:

Topic | Username/User | Freshness

Can I somehow add Forum category that specific topic was made?
Example:

Topic | Forum Category | User | Freshness
>
“Gamers unite” | Gaming | Bob | 5 minutes ago

Thanks!

Hello,

I have a forum currently set up for our organization. I am using some fellow employees to test it but it looks like people are able to go in and make posts for our blog (saved but not published in the Contributor, Participant roles). I don’t want that. Users should only be able to post to our website forum, and nothing else. Is there a line of code that I’m missing for this?

I would also like to know if there is a way to mask being able to see one another user’s posting stats. TIA!

website is creatingourcommonwealth.org. Our WordPress template is Ribosome, if that helps any.
