“I would happy to test your first release!”

That’s great. Write me at za AT zaerl.com. I will send you the prototype. I need to solve a problem regarding merged/splitted topics but the plugin is ready.

[matrixd]

Hi zaerl, have you any news about the plugin?
I would happy to test your first release!

[zaerl]

1) Create a bbpress.php file in the root directory of your theme (or archive-forum.php).

2) bbPress is a plugin and so every single function that are include()d are automatically available on the global scope. Take a look at the bbpress() function.

3) By testing. bbPress isn’t obtrusive and at 99% it will not raise problems.

[EricSchmitz]

Thanks! I’ll go with the latter. I’ll be testing it on a site that I only just started, so if I hose it I can easily rebuild. Using cpanel and phpmyadmin actually sounds a lot safer, and I do know how to do that.

Much appreciated!

[LabSecrets]

The plugin is https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wpvn-username-changer/

I’ve not used it lately, and it is over 2 years since an update….so please test it before on a demo site.

I suggest you merely use cpanel and phpmyadmin to change username for admin in row 1 of wp_users table…..be sure to backup your db beforehand in case something goes wrong 🙂

Cheers!

I have a standalone 1.02 forum with a small specialized population.

Human Test quit working (I seem to remember no one could register.) Recaptcha is ok for bots, but I think there are low-paid humans registering; I get like 30 registrations a day, and maybe 1 a week is legit. I use New User Notification Email which gives me the IP address of new registrants which I manually check against stopforumspam.com, but that’s a losing battle.

Akismet is good about sequestering the spam, only marking a couple of false positives. The Posts area in Admin lets you un-spam those. I’m going to try to upgrade to v2 to see if that’s any better.

I think what he’s trying to say that somebody is working on it.

This means somebody outside WordPress is making a replica because i can’t believe WordPress giving away the code to the same sites they own. Normally nobody would do so.

But usual it’s not problem to recreate them and make them look the same, it’s just somebody has to do it in there free time so it takes a little time to complete.

But maybe i’am mistaken and WordPress is giving you this layout by default inside bbPress.
Maybe instead of the Twenty Ten option.

And last, bbPress.org is running on WordPress + bbPress version 2.2 this version hasn’t been released yet and don’t know why the team would do so or tell people that they do. It’s against WordPress ‘thinking’ they never tell people to use development software (code) on Live websites. Always test it on local websites.

You can find stuff about bbPress version 2.2 and up on this website.

Hi all

My first time using bbpress, so please be patient 🙂

I´m using bbpress plugin (last + WP last)
I´d like to prevent my registered users to access the dashboard. On my test install i had no look. After login users get the WP Toolbar at the top with the dashboard access, but looking to this site i´ve realised that you´re using my dream toolbar: users can only edit their profiles and post new topics via the frontend.

Is that a native function and i loose something? How can I achieve that?

I´ve read also a thread regarding the possibility of users upload their avatars via the frontend but in case of using jetpack with gravatars on i guess i´l be ok, isn´t it?

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Hello all. I am a complete newbie here so plz excuse me if I ask a totally naive question.

We have a test wordpress 3.4.2 multisite/subfolders:
http://multiroot.com, http://multiroot.com/site01, http://multiroot.com/site02, etc
The live site will also be using mapped domains: http://client01.com, http://client02.com etc

The multisite will be packed with plugins, themes and hopefully sites, 🙂
So, we want to have the bbpress v2.1.2 installed in a subdomain (separate single wordpress site) on a db of its own, handling all the bbpress plugins and themes. http://bbpress.multiroot.com

The question is this: Can we have users that log (in/out) to their sites be automatically logged (in/out) the bbpress forums as well and vice-versa?

If yes, how can we do it and what possible plugins (maybe) to use to synchronize this kind of behavior between the two databases?

Bonus question. After logging in could they create forum/s that can be linked to their sites -mapped or non mapped? (I don’t even know if this “sounds” right).

Thank you in advance,
marikamitsos

Hi, Can you help? In bbpress my favorites link returns page not found. http://www.thsotestsite.dev/members/admin/forums/favorites/ the rest of forum works fine.

The favorites in BuddyPress work fine http://www.thsotestsite.dev/members/admin/activity/favorites/

And Yes running both Group and site wide forums and are playing nice together for the most part:)

WordPress: Current version
BuddyPress: Current version
bbPress: Current version
Theme: Frisco and BuddyPress Default Both have same results
all running on my dev. server (DesktopServer)

Is this a bug or config problem?

can anyone give clue how to fix this?

Thanks

I also just noticed that over at http://testbp.org/discussion/ the “Forums” sidebar widget there has an additional 2 columns, “Posts” and “Freshness”. How on Earth does one get these fancier widgets?

[Gary3000]

Just as the title says, I’m curious to know how the current main page at bbpress.org/forums/ is set up. Ideally, I’d like to have my forums main page set up in exactly the same fashion.

Am I correct in assumming that it’s done as a Page (“forums” being the slug) with the bbPress shortcode “[bbp-topic-index]” as its content?

I notice for Latest Topics it lists 28 topics, however in the bbPress Codex listing of shortcodes, it says that particular shortcode only lists 15 of the most recent topics. How does one go about configuring it to show more (or less) than the default of 15?

The other thing I’m curious about is how one gets the nicer “Forums” sidebar widget. The one on bbpress.org/forums/ is styled with a header containing “Forum” and “Topics” column headers, and then a striped list of the Forums with the associated topic counts. In the current public version of bbPress (2.1.2), the “Forums” widget only shows a straight, plain list of the Forums — no header/columns, and no topic counts. Is the widget used on bbpress.org/forums/ from the current SVN of bbPress, or was it customized specifically for bbPress?

[motionworks]

I have an older non-plugin version of bbpress and was wondering how I go about updating it? Is there only a plug-in now? If so how do I transfer from the standalone version to the plug-in version?

Any and all help is appreciated!

Hi all,

I ask your help beacause I’ve already tried everything that I knew before to make a query work in few seconds

I’m on BP 1.5.5/

Before, everything was working well, but one day, access to our forum became very very long (170 s average).
After many tests, I think that it’s a cache problem.

Here is two queries that make me think that :

SELECT t.*, g.id AS object_id, g.name AS object_name, g.slug AS object_slug
FROM wp_bb_topics AS t
INNER JOIN wp_bb_posts p ON p.topic_id=t.topic_id AND p.post_time=t.topic_start_time
JOIN wp_bp_groups AS g
LEFT JOIN wp_bp_groups_groupmeta AS gm ON g.id = gm.group_id
WHERE (gm.meta_key = 'forum_id' AND gm.meta_value = t.forum_id) AND g.STATUS = 'public' AND t.topic_status = '0'
ORDER BY t.topic_time
LIMIT 20

And the same without the “LIMIT”

SELECT t.*, g.id AS object_id, g.name AS object_name, g.slug AS object_slug
FROM wp_bb_topics AS t
INNER JOIN wp_bb_posts p ON p.topic_id=t.topic_id AND p.post_time=t.topic_start_time
JOIN wp_bp_groups AS g
LEFT JOIN wp_bp_groups_groupmeta AS gm ON g.id = gm.group_id
WHERE (gm.meta_key = 'forum_id' AND gm.meta_value = t.forum_id) AND g.STATUS = 'public' AND t.topic_status = '0'
ORDER BY t.topic_time

The first (with LIMIT) take 150 secondes (At the beginning, it was working well).
But the second (without LIMIT) takes 1.5 secones !!!!

When I’m in PHPmyADMIN, the “show full processlist” tell “copy to tmp table” during the 150 secondes.

So my question is :
Is there a cache limit I’ve reache with my DB (20.000 topics) ?
Where I’ve to modified (I think in my.cnf), and what is the value to put (I’ve make a lot of test, without good results)?

Thank you very much !

Bye

Hi,

I have installed BBPress from http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress/
to the latest version.

Ideally what I want to do is create custom pages which uses BBPress, an example of doing this I found is http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/heres-how-to-show-bbpress-info-inside-wordpress-without-full-integration/page/2/

If I create a custom template and page from WordPress BBPress functions do not work. Other forums have mentioned including bb-load.php but from the download link from above there is no bb-load.php in the zip file.

From looking at the second link there suggests that new tables for BBPress would be in the database, however I have no new tables just standard WordPress ones and BBPress posts stored in wp-Posts

Is this correct?

I am trying for example to create a page (customized page) where a user can enter their post and then choose what topic etc. they want to post from a drop down box. However I don’t know how to go about this.

Thanks in advance.

We are using WordPress 3.4.2 and latest BBpress and Twenty eleven them and got it to look like this on our website: http://scotpcg.org/member-area/forums/

However, we would like it to look like this: http://www.polyclay.co.uk/
The different forums nicely displayed with different headers so there is a clear distinction.

Our forum is for members only – so past the first page a member sign up will show up (which is not active as yet). If you can help us with the lay-out we can create a temporary access.

Many thanks.
Chris

I have a forum with the latest bbPress called “Windows 8” and then when I tried to create a page called “Windows 8” and WordPress saves it a duplicate page, because of the forum with the same name. Is there a way to keep forums slugs away from WordPress?

Thanks,

[Shmoo]

@zaerl,

Thanks for your help,
I’m going to test it.. just a few minutes.

[zaerl]

The problem here is that bbPress insert a FORCE INDEX (PRIMARY, post_parent) but WPML uses a JOIN in its tables. You can’t do that when you have a JOIN cause the correct syntax in that particular case is FORCE INDEX FOR JOIN. Try to replace the function “function _bbp_has_replies_where( $where, $query )” in wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-replay-functions.php” with this: https://gist.github.com/3930162

Keep in mind that it’s not tested, I haven’t a WPML license. I do not know either if my reasoning makes sense at all.

[Spence "The Evil Genius" Forman]

This is a “quirk” we’ve seen before. If you have a minute or two to watch our latest video, we show you a very simple few steps that should fix this in a jiffy.

Update:

I think it’s very strange we can’t touch the defaul $slug with a custom page template!
This is totally not WordPress like.

Now i have to offer my page.php (default page template) to bbPress and make sure when i draft a new page inside my Dashboard i use a different (custom) page template to prevent my lay-out from breaking..

I tested to following:
Dashboard > New Page > Name it HELP > pick my custom Page Template with the bbPress forums index inside it > Saved it and it works 100%.

I don’t know if it’s a bug or glitch but this is totally not the way to do so, because the default slug keeps showing up in the breadcrumbs.

Hope somebody reads this..
Thanks,

Hello! I’m helping a friend with his website. He’s trying to make a community for investors. We’re having trouble with the bbPress forums. You can see that http://investorswap.com/board/forum/general-stock-talk/ works, but if you go up a level to http://investorswap.com/board it is showing the category and boards, but they aren’t clickable. I’ve never used bbPress or BuddyPress before this, so I’m pretty lost. Any help would be very appreciated! This is intended to be a site-wide forum and not group specific.

Using the latest version of WordPress, bbPress, and BuddyPress!

Thanks!

I have a custom WP_Query outside the main loop, in my header.php, and also another one in footer.php. On my Forums List page (the top/base level of bbPress that lists all my Forums), the custom WP_Query in both header.php and footer.php, no longer works. It shows another instance of the bbPress Forums List, instead of showing the correct content (as it does on every other page of my site, including all other bbPress pages). My custom WP_Query is
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'page',
'page_id' => 218
);
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post();

the_content();
endwhile;
wp_reset_postdata();

I also tried get_page, which also didn’t work.
$page_id = 218;
$page_data = get_page( $page_id );
$page_content = apply_filters('the_content', $page_data->post_content);
echo $page_content;

I tried using a bbPress ShortCode in a WP-Page called “Forums”, and then also without a page, just using bbPress Permalink “Forums”, without a wp-page and shortcode. Same problem either way.

Why would bbPress conflict with these core WP functions? And why would it happen ONLY on the Forums List page? I also tested this in TwentyEleven, and the problem is there too.

[zaerl]

Hi there. The plugin is in advanced state of development. I’m testing it in very large (+10,000 auto-generated topics) env in order to ensure that it will scale well. It will be released in a few day as an alpha release on Github. I can publish it now if you want but I prefer to make some more tests.

I’m not using ck approach cause it generate problems with very large forum. Main functionalities are:

1. Users can mark an entire forum as read (use an AJAX call)
2. Users can mark a single topic as read (use an AJAX call)
3. Every visited topic is marked “read” when accessed via browser
4. Custom HTML class for unread topics
5. Custom prefix for unread forums title (“[unread] ” or similar)
6. Custom prefix for unread topics title
7. Template functions for checking the state of current forum/topic

These are the functionalities of the first soon-to-be alpha. I think that in future release I will add something like: custom loop for unread topic (maybe a separate page), count of unread topics, mark a forum as “always read” and other stuff.

Who is an adventurous can write me at za@zaerl.com, I will send you back the prototype.

Hello… using pagelines, and have installed bbpress. Forum seems to be working fine, but the alignment of the header text for the columns… e.g., topic, posts, voices, freshness… is off…not aligned horizontally. If you can let me know how to edit the CSS for this particular piece, I’d really appreciate it. Also, possible to change the column header text? If so, how? THANKS http://www.powelltatewptest.com.php5-22.dfw1-1.websitetestlink.com/?forum=gear-swap Also, seems like the topic title is in the wrong place… should be left-aligned, then “started by” should go underneath.. just like this forum. Thoughts on how to fix?
