hmmm… not sure what to suggest next – you have done good research and testing, and have a good problem definition.

So the forms have similar structure, and the problem is both in backend and front end. Disabling other plugins and changing theme has made no difference.

ok all I can think to do is to move a slow forum into a fast category (dashboard>forums>edit forum and change parent), and see if the problem stays with the forum. That might help define if it is a forum issue or a category issue.

Hello!

Our site is getting ready to launch soon and I’ve built out the forum structure to our liking but in testing we see that posting a new topic or replying to a topic in CERTAIN FORUMS can take up to 20 seconds after hitting submit for the post to save and appear. In all other forums it takes only 3 seconds. While I wish both were faster, how do we figure out what the 20 second delay is about?

Add this to the mix: Deleting a reply on the backend for the slow forum also takes 20 seconds compared to 3 seconds to delete for other forums…

20 second to post topic and delete reply forums:

Hello,

I am trying to import a vbulletin 4.2.2 installation into bbpress and it fails importing the replies without leaving me errors, it just hangs and keeps posting dashes (-) into the progress logs even after stopping it and resuming.

Wordpress and bbpress versions are the latest available as of today 20th of March 2016.

Our vbulletin database has around 11000 users, 600 sub-forums, 30000 threads and around 800000 posts

As the work is being done in local before atempting it on the server i am unable to give links.

If in need of more informations let me know

Thanks in advance for the support

Regards

Hello,
Site is still a little unstable, but I think it is good enough to get this problem fixed.
Just so we all understand, here is what is going on. The menu is designed to open on mouse hover and then close when the mouse pointer leaves the menu. On mobile devices such as phones and tablets, you cannot close the menu because clicking Options opens it. We need to add some additional code to first check if the menu is open, if not, on click open it, if so, on click close it. Would this be a doable task?

You do have to login to see the options menu, this user account will be deleted as soon as we are done using it.

Can’t test here, but did you check echo bbp_form_option( '_bbp_forum_slug', 'forum', true ); ?

[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.

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

[Pascal Casier]

Robin had a look, but he also confirmed that it’s something strange, most probably coming from your theme (all the <br> that are added), so I’m afraid we won’t be able of any further help.

I would propose to switch theme for some testing and (if confirmed that your issues are solved) get to the theme authors and explain them.

Pascal.

Hello,

For some reason on mobile devices, part of the reply and post text will overlap the bar where the date is. I have tried deactivating all plugins and checking to see that there are no syntax errors in my CSS. Could someone please check my forum to see what is happening?

Here is an image link, as you can see the mobile view looks pretty bad.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_h6oU4LzDtleElpclF5QV9BajA/view?usp=sharing

I cannot switch to the default theme, I do not want to lose any changes, so a CSS fix would be nice if at all possible.

Thanks for your help.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
1.8 million should not be the issue, as others run without those issues.
Could you import your old topics into your test too so you could play with it ? Did you ever try to switch to a default theme ?

If you are really convinced to delete in production, we can discuss further on that on how to clean.

Pascal.

[blandow]

So I made a fresh forum for testing and the posting was instant. So it looks like 1.8 Millions entries in our wp_posts table is just too big a strain. I want to try to mass delete a lot of the old stuff from years ago, but I don’t want to delete regular WP posts. So what in the SQL is unique to bbpress so I can run the correct query?

I was looking around in Firefox doing some mobile tests, when I came accross an issue. Please see screenshot at below link.

Is this a bug?

I’m not able to link to the site directly right now, unfortunately, but this is what the source looks like for the pagination area:

<div class="bbp-pagination-links">

<a class="page-numbers" href="https://www.com/topic/test-1/page/2/">2</a><br>

Hello,

I am using this plugin to add signatures: https://wordpress.org/plugins/gd-bbpress-tools/

I would like the Revision information to align under the Signiture. I am currently using this CSS.

.topic.type-topic.status-publish > .bbp-reply-content,
.reply.type-reply.status-publish > .bbp-reply-content{
    display: -webkit-box;
    display: -moz-box;
    display: box;

    -webkit-box-orient: vertical;
    -moz-box-orient: vertical;
    box-orient: vertical;
}

.topic.type-topic.status-publish > .bbp-reply-content > .bbp-topic-revision-log,
.reply.type-reply.status-publish > .bbp-reply-content > .bbp-reply-revision-log{
	-webkit-box-ordinal-group: 2;
    -moz-box-ordinal-group: 2;
    box-ordinal-group: 2;
}

.topic.type-topic.status-publish > .bbp-reply-content > .bbp-signature,
.reply.type-reply.status-publish > .bbp-reply-content > .bbp-signature{
  -webkit-box-ordinal-group: 1;
    -moz-box-ordinal-group: 1;
    box-ordinal-group: 1;
}

It is working fine in Firefox, but not in Internet Explorer and Safari on apple devices such as IPhones. Can you please take a look for me?

Thanks.

[Robin W]

and of course

By default, you do NOT receive emails for your own topics/replies, only if somebody else replies on your subscribed topics

so testing would need two email accounts to prove !

[berkelmudez]

Hi, to test what boolean came out I tested bbp_has_topics() in: custom_theme/bbpress/loop-topics.php.
In my custom theme it returns false and in wp twenty fifteen theme it returns true. Maybe using buddypress has something to do with it?

[Robin W]

ok, so

AS A TEST ONLY –
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

[Pluew]

Thank you.
I checked both points. I received the test email successfully. So it is bbpress.

[Robin W]

@netweb

@brovashift

Ok I’ve done some testing.

bbpress uses the display_name as stored in wp_user table.

If you allow registration

ie – Dashboard>settings>membership – anyone can register

then yes, the user_nicename and the display_name in wp_user table are the same and the same as the username entered by the person registering.

If you don’t allow registration, and you add users manually

ie Dashboard>users>add new user

and you don’t enter the first and last name, then the user_nicename and display_name are the same

BUT if you enter the firstname and lastname, then the nice_name is the username, but the display_name is saved as firstname followed by lastname !

So a bit of inconsistency by WordPress.

Now display_name is all that we can play with in bbpress, and users can change their display_name under bbpress in the profile area.

So I plan to put a function in my style pack that will let the user choose what the default display_name is, and optionally disable users from creating a nickname and/or changing the default.

[jfboisvert]

I just installed the latest version (2.5.8) on bbPress on a WordPress site where The Event Calendar plugins (vers. 4.0.7) was installed. After that, I wasn’t able to add or modify an event. I disabled bbPress, and then The Event Calendar works well as before.
Does anayone khow about this problem ? I would like to keep using The Event Calendar but also start using bbPress.

Thank you for your help!

Hi,
Not sure what customizations you have, but I normally switch theme to do a test and so far I never had issues in switching back. But we need to exclude that it’s a theme issue.

(I have no access to the site, so I’m only guessing).

Pascal.

[Stephen Edgar]

Did I get it backwards? I confused myself when testing this. :/

Can you test this with a new user please and create the appropriate ticket based on the results if needed 🙂

• When a new user is created they *only* have a username
• The user does *not* have a first and last name
• Once a user adds their first and last name the username is still used
• Now, if a user goes to their profile and *chooses* their display name to *use* their first and last name then that is that users *choice*

[Robin W]

@netweb On my test site it does firstname/lastname. Am I going mad?

[Robin W]

load up my stylepack plugin and use latest activity widget

thanks they seem to be showing up now. Do I have to approve every topic and reply made? i created a new test topic and in the breadcrumb it says +1 hidden.

Hello,

I just updated a recent installation of bbPress (version 2.4.? to 2.5.8) today and “Change Forum Role” in the Users>All Users interface is not working. However, the all roles (site role & forum role) are editable when following the edit link under the users’ name. This is a version 4.4.2 Multisite installation and I have tested bbPress both as a Network install and a single site install with the same results. Here are some screen captures…
