Haven’t tested it, but this should force all the content (or at least most of it) to take over your themes font-size.

#bbpress-forums { font-size: inherit !important; }
div.bbp-breadcrumb, div.bbp-topic-tags { font-size: inherit !important; }
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-lead-topic, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-topics, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-forums, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-replies, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-search-results { font-size: inherit !important; }
#bbpress-forums .bbp-forums-list li { font-size: inherit !important; }

@csotelo Most excellent dude…. That said, I made one too 🙂

You can grab the latest revision from https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2402

The main differences are:

• Forums
• Updated code formatting and inline docs
• Uses kunena_categories.parent_id for Forum parent ID
• Imports Forums topic & reply counts
• Uses kunena_categories.alias for forum slug (seo)
• Includes Category/Forum forum type input & callback method
• Includes Open/Closed forum status & callback method
• Topics
• Ahmmm

Ok, I just stopped at ‘Topics’ as there are quite a few differences there, I based mine on Kunena v3.0.1 Forums, What version are you importing from?
(There are some significant changes here)

I’m trying to import a bbpress 1.0.2 forum to the latest version of WordPress-bbpress (2.4). It has 37,000 topics, which all seem to import OK and look good. But when the importer is importing replies, it seems to stall out around 70,000. It gets slower and slower until it’s a crawl.

I’m wondering if this is due to the wp_bbp_converter_translator table that apparently is created to help translate the standalone bbPress posts into WordPress? This table is now 500,000 lines already. Or is there some other explanation? Is it because I am using bbPress 1.0.2?

Hi!

I noticed a strange behaviour in the freshness column for the latest post link – sometimes it is
/forum/topic/topicname/page/2/#post-391430
but sometimes it’s just
/forum/topic/topicname/#post-391523

In first case, the link takes me to the latest post, in second case the link just leads to the first page of discussion, even though there are 440 pages! This really bugs my users and I can’t seem to find the solution. Every bit of advice is helpful!

I use WordPress 3.6 and bbPress 2.4. The problem can be seen at http://www.kilb.ee/foorum/sisu/mnemomaraton/mnemomaraton-2/ (in the rightmost column) and it also occurs with TwentyEleven theme.

ETA: Wow, that was fast— my page got slammed with spam comments within minutes of posting the links here. I have removed them for now. If a support person needs them to diagnose the issue, I can give them out then.

I have heard this a couple of times, I might set up a test myself, not sure what we can do though as presumably the spammers are just scrapping bbpress.org

Hi people!
I need to apply some customizations to my bbPress forum.
First of all I need to remove the sidebar for the bbPress pages, what’s the right way to do this? maybe creating a conditional tag with “widget logic”, or assigning a custom page to the bbPress forum with a layout without the sidebar? Or editing some layout page into bbPress template?

Then I’d need to have the first page of the forum like here, with the latest topics, I found some ways to do this, but nothing appears to be the right way.

Thanks 🙂

Hi!

I am using latest bbpress 2.4

I have a problem: If i have .. say .. 10 posts in a topic, and i edit the 5th post. When i do that, the 5th post jumps to the last position, 10th. What’s worse, is that i will stay at the last position, even if i post other posts. The edited post will always appear as last, even though it’s not the case.

Any idea how can i prevent edited posts from being “resorted” all together?

Thank you very much,

[Martyn_]

Agree it could do with an overhaul. A single widget that can be flexibly configured to show and link exactly what you want would be a real bonus. Similarly for the shortcodes. Even better if it could cover WP posts and replies using an identical structure/layout.

an ideal widget would have

– number of things
– sort by: topic creation, freshness, popularity/views, popularity/replies in last X days
– show/link OP author
+ include date [x]
+ include avatar [x]
– show link most recent
+ include date [x]
+ include avatar [x]
– present as table or list
– extract OP
– extract latest
– [shrtcodeable]

I don’t see the need for a list that has replies (with dups per topic) as thats better handled as an activity stream.

Hello I am running the latest version of wordpress and bbpress, I am new to both of the aforementioned products. I have added a header link to my site that looks like

<?php if (is_page(‘Forums’)) { echo ” class=\”current_page_item\””; } ?>

That code works everywhere on my site except for bbpress. Can someone please tell me how to set my header link, and keep it, in the active state when on the forums? I’ve looked on this site and searched google to no avail.

Thanks alot.

Installed latest from add new. Now website or admin panel does not load.
After clicking activate plugin this URL is displayed and hangs. Nothing but a white screen.

Had to remove bbPress folder from plugin directory in order to get our site back up.
Tried manual install of plugin but same thing.
We are using the FLexForm by swiftIdes ver 1.5 theme which is great and works wonderfully.

How to fix.

[Sam Rohn]

hmm, i just noticed the same thing on one of my test sites still site running 2.3.2, no bbpress admin tabs except for gd sub items, so i suppose this is OT for 2.4, must be something on my end, sorry

thanks for the update on permissions, Tehnik-bbPress-Permissions seems to be the best solution for now but i am always afraid it might break with a bbpress update, and it requires yet another plugin besides…

https://github.com/ZanderAdam/Tehnik-bbPress-Permissions

[Sam Rohn]

thanks stephen 🙂

might not be a bad idea to put the changelog info or link in top post too, the trac might be kind of confusing for the less experienced

i have updated to 2.4 from 2.3.2 on a few different test sites and have noticed that in some cases, the forums, topics and replies tabs in wp admin disappear, w gd tools and attachments plugins enabled only gd options in forum tab otherwise no forum tab at all, or the others

i tried disabling all other plugins etc but only disabling and reenabling bbpress restored the tabs

main site i updated went fine, admin tabs did not disappear, mostly same plugins, the sites that went odd also all had buddypress installed

for permissions and caps etc, i think it should be a basic feature to have a simple way to create multiple levels of private forums for logged in users – private forums for admins, mods, members, public forums for non-members, etc, basically some type of granular permissions allowing groups and forum access per group membership based on wp user role perhaps, similar to phpbb etc, this is standard w most other forums but currently this is still real tricky w bbpress…

any chance we might we see something along these lines in an upcoming release ?

[Andrea Whitmer]

I have just updated bbPress to 2.4 on a site running the latest version of the Genesis framework. When bbPress is activated, all posts and pages lose their titles – I just get a dash and the site title in the page source. This happens with all other plugins deactivated and with any Genesis child theme, as well as the naked framework itself. This was not an issue prior to the 2.4 release of bbPress earlier today. Any ideas for what I can do to fix this?

[gcoz]

thanks for checking the queries. I believe it’s not your importer, actually…
I think there’s just an issue with my databases. I did the optimization for all tables, made another local copy (a brand new installation of Ubuntu with default settings for apache, php and the largest settings for mysql allowing it to use more resources).
However, after some more digging, I’m starting to think that my tables are the reason for this slow-down. Specifically them being a mix of MyISAM and InnoDB after many years of conversions, WP updates and one forum conversion from phpbb to vanilla.

I tried to get some out-of-memory errors but all it does is slow it down and it keeps going really slowly. Even setting it to 2000 rows at 1 second doesn’t seem to push it to run out of memory. The “top” command just shows me that it’s working away at 60% CPU and 11% memory for mysql and 50% CPU and 2% memory for apache.

MySQL workbench shows that I only have 6 connections active, which is probably another related issue. I don’t know how to change that but my current running test conversion is with all WP tables converted to InnoDB. It fluctuates at 50-200 writes per second according to MySQL workbench

This is total guesswork on my end (I’m no expert) and I thought it might be a helpful starting point for others with similar issues…

[gcoz]

Thanks for the link, I had a read through the topic and I did see those dashes mentioned over there pop up twice in my import so far. All I needed to do, was to reload the Tools/Forum page with the importer, add all the db details and hit start.
It picked it up where it left off (no way for me to verify at this stage if anything got messed up but that was the only error I could see)…

The one odd thing I noticed was that the topic import is blazingly fast but the replies are very slow. Not sure if there’s a reason for that?

I lowered the delay to 1 second but looking at the rate at which posts are added to the “reply” post-type, it’s not really speeding up the process. Maybe my MySQL config might be to blame there if it’s not catching up?

Might have to try it on a different machine locally if 6 hours is possible for this kind of import. At this rate it’ll take another 4-5 days which is enough time to set up another machine for testing and letting it run for a while.

[Stephen Edgar]

Take a look at the GSoC project by @frederickding

It’s an update to the WXR importer, I haven’t tried/tested this yet to see what’s different or how well it works with bbPress, but it looks promising.

If you do give it a try I’d love to hear any feedback you have.

[DanaJo27]

The formatting toolbar on our discussion forum above the comment box keeps disappearing. Was working on Firefox, then it went away. Now switched to Chrome, where it’s still available, but not appearing on Safari at all. Using latest version of the bbPress plugin and WordPress.

Still available and working fine in this support forum (currently using Safari browser) so would seem to be site-specific. Any help appreciated.

[gcoz]

I’ve been trying to import my vanilla 2 forum posts (just under 500000 replies) and it’s been working away for a very very long time. Tried to do it on the server as well as locally on my macbook pro running Mountain Lion. It seems that it’s even running slower locally than on my server and after leaving it to run for a couple of days, I’m about 1/4 of the way there.
Tried all kinds of delay times and row limits but I can’t find a way to improve the speed of the import.
I was wondering if anyone here has successfully imported a database this size and has tips on how to speed up the process? Even at a 200 Limit with 3 second delay my MySQL workbench on my local machine shows 11000 Queries/second which seems a bit high?
I’m using the latest versions of bbpress, wordpress and vanilla.

[solsikkehaven]

I cannot find, how to have moderators or key masters be able to ban users – without them also being ADMIN on the WordPress site ?

Have I missed something ?

(lastest version of everything -wordpress+bbpress etc.)

[llud]

Forgot to include information:
I am using latest wordpress
Latest Buddypress
Latest Bbpress

if you want to give a look here is a link :

Strange thing…it appears on the group wall and on activity, just doesnt show up where it should be.

[jezza101]

update: Submitted to the WP repository for approval, it’s here if anyone wants the zip. Note that this is a 1st release and whilst I have checked it works I have done limited “real world” testing. This will add a db read/write to each page load so that may have an impact – personally I think it’s unlikely on all but the bigger sites but who knows until tested.

Agreed, I can only hack the URL of the WordPress admin dashboard to get me ~250 users at a time and yes it is tedious and in the past I have done most of this directly in phpMyAdmin with SQL.

@leahcar8/

Great news that the conversion finished 🙂

The post counts in the backend and frontend should match so that has me a little curious to what is going on with that… Any chance you could post a couple of screenshots showing those numbers?

Thanks for the testing offer, I’ll let you know 🙂

[John James Jacoby]

The approach in bbPress core is slightly different than what @jmdodd’s plugin originally did. You’ll want to test and let us know how it fares.
