I can see lots of ‘?’ – is this your issue??

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 twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

come back with the results !

I have the forum settings to 15/topic, and 25/replies.

The forum isn’t live yet, and I had testers take it over the limits, and bbpress won’t create new pages, it just dumps everything into one long scrolling page.

This is a brand-new installation of vers. 2.5.4 on WP 3.9.2

any suggestions?

[ingenuity]

Robin W, Thank you for the ideas. This is the first time I’ve used bbPress, so I have nothing to compare it with. I tried your idea of deactivating all other themes and that did not change the Forum problem. I am currently unable to test deactivating the theme because the site owner just paid Facebook to boost a post that would drive visitors to our site. So it’s a bad time to put the site in maintenance mode, even briefly. Hope that will change in the next day or so. I am using HeadwayThemes and I have posted in the forum there. I found a conversation on http://support.headwaythemes.com/discussion/comment/166604#Comment_166604 about a problem between HeadwayThemes and the bbPress search function, but saw nothing like the problem I have with the replies appearing above the posts.

In the HeadwayTheme, the forum is appearing in the content block. The content block let’s me do custom query filters. In the query filters settings, I’ve told it to include the post type forums. And I’ve tried both ascending/descending order. Nothing puts the replies BELOW the topics.

We just created a new forum at http://sovereignduty.com and all has been going ok until a user reported that a new topic she was trying to create was not working. I created myself a test participant account and tried to create the same topic she was using the same text and experienced the same issue. The topic is not created. I took her text, copied it into notepad and pasted it in to the new forum topic. There was one link that I created but no other html besides that. Any suggestions on where I should be looking, or doing to correct this?
Thank you in advance
Dan

I suspect it is your theme, but carry out the tests above, and then come back !

Why are the replies showing above the topic and how can I get topic above replies?

It appears that the time stamp on the replies (being newer than teh topic) are showing up above the topic.

Please see test on http://changeaustin.org/forums/topic/test-topic/#post-2886

The site is using WordPress 3.9.2, bbPress 2.5.4. HeadwayThemes 3.7.8

sorry to post this here but my i cannot create topics or anything on the site..

i have been messing with this all day and getting quite aggrevated
my members cannot edit they’re topics or replies or forums if i allowed it which i dont
And they cannot create a topic from the Dashboard menu bar at the top
so the topics they are allowed to use looks totally horrible and does not have all my wordpress options, well i think it uses the normal wordpress replies maybe i would need to change that?

If they could Edit they could use the proper Tools after but..
Unless i set Edit_others_posts there is absolutely nothing i can do to allow them to edit
it always says you do not have the proper rights
and of course i DO NOT want them to be allowed to edit other peoples posts…

How could i make it so that they can edit they’re own posts only
and that they could post a Topic Directly from the Dashboard bar at the top of page to be able to have the proper tools instead of using post topic like a reply
I did reset all users to default Role since i saw it mentioned often and it didnt help
Only if id set it to moderator they could edit theyre own posts
but they can delete everything from everyone

i am using latest WordPress and latest bbpress with twenty fourteen theme and i have no plugins that would conflict

Login widget login button size on sidebar
Wordpress: 3.9.2
bbPress: Version 2.5.4

Hello bbpress forums. I have been trying to accomplish a custom css change on my website. I installed bbpress, customized it a bit and added some forums. I added the widget on the right sidebar of my website. I then went to test it out a bit and noticed the login button being extremely tiny and hard to see.

When posting a topic of reply I also noticed the submit button was small and hard to see for some people. So I just wanted to make the login button on the sidebar widget a bit larger.

I used firebug and inspected the sidebar probably all day yesterday trying over 20 different custom css changes and had no luck. I tried things like:

============
#sidebar .button {
background-color: ##a0668d;
color: #000000;
float: center;
vertical-align: middle;
border-radius: 10px;
height: 35px;
width: 80px;
font-size: 18px;
}
================
body #sidebar .button {
padding-left: 45px;
!important;}
================
.user-submit {
padding-left: 45px;
!important;}
=================

My firebug skills are not that great but I am working on it. I tried so many other custom css changes to make this login button larger. I can go into firebug and actually change this and the button does change, I just cannot find the custom css to make this change permanent.

body #sidebar .button {
padding-left: 100px;
}

I did make the submit button for posting and replies larger, after finding this useful custom css code in the bbpress styling crib of the bbpress support site.

============================
#bbpress-forums .submit {
background-color: #a0668d;
color: #000000;
float: center;
vertical-align: middle;
border-radius: 10px;
height: 35px;
width: 80px;
font-size: 18px;
!important;}
========================

So that is good I got the submit button larger and more noticeable. If anyone is out there that would be able to assist me in just making this login button a bit larger it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for reading this

Cheers for the response and thanks for your time and effort looking into this, much appreciated.

For the test below i set up a hidden forum on my live server.

What happens when you deactivate either/or “Go to first unread” & “Unread posts” plugins you’re using and submit a reply to an affected topic?

• I just went through all the bbpress related plugins and tried different combos and didn’t notice any significant performance differences.

Another test, this time with the ‘Quotes’ plugin disabled submit a reply to an affected topic.

• Using GDPress and had the same results as above

Another, what code and/or plugin are you using to show the user registration in each reply e.g. Join Date: Mar 2009
And another, what code and/or plugin are you using for the counts shown next to the username in each reply e.g Posts: 4529

• Using the function below. Again I disabled and noticed no significant improvement.

function func() {

$roleData = bbp_get_user_role(bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id ));

if($roleData=='bbp_moderator'){
        $data='<div class="bbp-author-role">Moderator</div>';
}

$registered = date("M Y", strtotime(get_userdata(bbp_get_reply_author_id())->user_registered));

$post_count = bbp_get_user_reply_count_raw( bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id )) ;

$data.='<div class="bbp-reply-ip"><span class="bbp-author-ip">';
$data.='Join Date: '.$registered;
$data.='<br />';
$data.='Posts: '.$post_count;
$data.='</span></div>';
}

Here’s the results for the first query

And the second query

Something I did notice when testing, was that when I was posting in the new topc I created, posts seemed to be submitting relatively quicker, 2 – 5 secs per post. Though when posting in a thread that had a lot more replies the post submission took a lot longer.

I tried the query plugin you suggested and getting relatively good results everything is < 2 secs, but it only shows the performance of the query results, and doesn’t take into account the time it takes to submit, which is > 10 secs. (unless I’m overlooking something??)

Thanks

Hello guys,
I’m using the latest version of WordPress and BBpress to date.
I don’t know if this is expected default behavior but in the front page of my forum, the total topic counts only show in the categories and not next to each forum.

I would like the categories NOT to have any count, and for the counts only to show next to the forums.
Any idea of what I could do?

Thanks!

[Robin W]

Try (haven’t tested)

function remove_website ($r) {
 $r['bbp_anonymous_website'] = false;
return $r ;
 }
 add_filter( ‘bbp_pre_anonymous_post_author_website’, ‘remove_website’ );

or

function remove_website ($r) {
 $r['bbp_anonymous_website'] = false;
return $r['bbp_anonymous_website'] ;
 }
 add_filter( ‘bbp_pre_anonymous_post_author_website’, ‘remove_website’ );

Firstly, a quick breakdown via pingdom, quite a delay in getting your JavaScript files, I’d get these into your Amazon CDN.

As you stated above “ive eliminated all the points you’ve made above, and the site only chokes when users are submitting posts in the forum, so I’m confident i’ve isolated the issue.”

• What happens when you deactivate either/or “Go to first unread” & “Unread posts” plugins you’re using and submit a reply to an affected topic?
• Another test, this time with the ‘Quotes’ plugin disabled submit a reply to an affected topic.
• Another, what code and/or plugin are you using to show the user registration in each reply e.g. Join Date: Mar 2009

Can you run the following two queries in phpMyAdmin, it will give me an idea of the state of the data in your database, it is the topic and three replies (two imported replies and one new bbPress reply) from the ~10k topic you have:

SELECT ID, post_author, post_parent, menu_order, post_type
FROM  wp_posts
WHERE  ID
IN ( 490979, 831628, 837704, 1031603 ) 

and

SELECT * 
FROM  wp_postmeta
WHERE  post_id
IN ( 490979, 831628, 837704, 1031603 ) 

Once you have the results of each (they don’t show any ‘sensitive’ data) click the “Print View” and copy and paste them to a text file, a Gist or to pastebin for me to checkout please.

Over the weekend I had to reinstall everything here locally (and my online servers for a different reason) as something was up with my database, I’ve created a topic here locally with ~10,000 replies today (similar in size to your second most popular topic) and it takes ~1.6 seconds to post a reply to this topic. To time the queries, install the following plugin and of course only have it activated whilst your debugging this stuff https://wordpress.org/plugins/query-monitor/

[Stephen Edgar]

I just tested this and it works fine, as it states: “Disallow editing after ‘x’ minutes”, that does not infer setting to 0 will disable topic/reply editing 😉

Thus, if you set it to 1 editing will be disabled after 1 minute, the default is 5 minutes.

If this is not working for you check your time and date settings, someone else had this issue a while back and as they had the incorrect time zone configured it was adding the time zone difference to the allowed editable time 🙂

[Nicolas Korobochkin]

Guys. I make the repo for plugin on github, checkout the latest version with some fixes:
https://github.com/korobochkin/bbPress-permalinks-with-id (and russian translation included).

@pooledge don’t quite understand what you talking about. On my forum links with parameters works great with this plugin. For example:

http://selenaselena.ru/community/talks/talk/14579/ — simply topic
http://selenaselena.ru/community/talks/talk/14579/edit/ — edit topic, for admins only, but not 404 🙂
http://selenaselena.ru/community/talks/talk/14579/?bbp_reply_to=14806&_wpnonce=0fe9ee9c36#new-post — write reply to some user.

I have the latest WP installed with OptimizePress 2, Buddy Press and BBpress (latest versions) installed. I am building the forums in the private section of a membership site.

I am having issues with the Breadcrumb links.

I used method 2, a page for the forums index with short code. The forums display properly.
>> http://www.imstudy.club/forums-welcome/

Then when I click on each forum it goes to the correct page, I have set-up “Content Aware Sidebars” to show widgets in the sidebar and the forums in the content area. It works.

Now when I am on one of these forums the breadcrumb shows:
IM Study Club’s Public Home › Forums › Site Feedback

The link “Forums”, is the Forum root and it goes here:
http://www.imstudy.club/forums/

That’s a Blog Archives page with a link “continue reading” going nowhere.

How can I have this “Forums” link in the breadcrumb go to my custom page “forums-welcome” instead.

I have tried to change the name of the root forum to match the page, but it doesn’t works, always get the blog archives page… I also tried to redirect, but got a loop.

Any idea?

Thank you very much for your help.

Michel

[mostlyjan]

nah. never heard anything from anyone or support and could not get this to work. Test emails work but nothing else. Tried everything. We are dumping this bbpress and will look for something that works and/or has support. Very disappointing. Hope you get yours to work.

[Robin W]

ok, lets work this through

You say you’re a superadmin – does this mean its a multi-site installation? they’re not my forte, but if this is just a single site then….

First of all bbpress is a plugin, so you’ll still need wordpress (and it holds the users), and since the existing theme has all the styling that you users are used to, then it would be sensible to use that as well.

So in effect what you need to do is just import a full copy of the installation, and then take out the pages and posts, and you have a forum without the rest of the site !

Since you have a test site, then follow the guidance in

https://codex.bbpress.org/creating-a-test-site/

and then just go into posts and pages to delete those (apart from the forum page), and amend the custom menu if you have one.

[Robin W]

Not sure why you would be getting this, 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 twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

[Killerrabbit2]

Update: did more testing – If the user also clicks to subscribe to the post and then enters a comment into the string he does not receive any more updates.

In addition I installed a brand new version of WP running Twenty Fourteen and just the bbPress plugin. Is this a known bug?

[btreinhart]

The forum index page that has “[bbp-forum-index]” is using the test.php template, and it displays properly but when you click on a forum, and it takes you to domain.com/forum/your-forum-name the template isn’t working like it should. I took on this project from a developer who is no longer with us, and I assume he didn’t know how to fix it so he left it the way it was before he left. I downloaded the latest version, and I see the files class.wp.scripts, general-template, page, test outside of the bbpress folder, but I tried to place them in specific areas and still didn’t have any luck. Can anyone give me direction? Thank you.

[Killerrabbit2]

Update- this solution above actually does not work.

I have done more testing and here is the problem:
A user can subscribe to a forum and will be sent notifications. However, if the user posts anything the notifications will stop coming. If he clicks to follow the post it will send notifications. The same is true for checking the box for receiving an email notification after submitting a comment.

This is totally baffling and I have gotten to the point where I might just have to remove the subscribe link which totally bites. Ideas?? My client would not be happy. Thanks

[Stephen Edgar]

Two things, the plugin I thought would help actually makes things worse, didn’t expect that, though the second thing, running what I ‘thought’ should work that I have tested previously also now doesn’t work. 🙁

I’ll need to test both of these tomorrow, and I’ll update things then, depending on the solution we are talking a range of 50-90% improvement in performance, so why either of these options is failing for me at the moment I’m unsure.

[Stephen Edgar]

I saw this pop up on my phone whilst I was out and wasn’t even going to try to chime whilst mobile. Anyways, I’m just going to have some dinner but whilst I eat that I’m generating a test site with a few hundred thousand posts to test a plugin, this “might” help but I’ve never tested it before, so give me half an hour and I’ll let you know.
