Hey,

I have the latest version of WordPress and use Multisite installation with 30+ users. The multisite has 6 different blogs and one forum powered by bbPress.

According to the Dashboard of the website with bbPress there are 32 users on the fora. But when I click on the ‘Users’ Tab there are only 4 users…
Also users complain that they get errors while trying to start new topics…

Look here for a screenshot: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/440/screenshot20120917at154.png

Also in the superadmin dashboard of the network there are only three listed users, but it says there should be 32…

Any idea how to resolve this?

Hi,

I’m trying to import an existing vBulletin 4.2 based forum. The IP is correct, so are database name, user name and password. However all the importer says is “No users to import”, “No threads to import” etc.

I’m running latest stable versions of WordPress and bbPress.

Any clues? Thanks!

Having the same issue as roddaut:

Up-to-date WP install, working fine with bbpress until latest update.

New users getting the “slow down…” error message trying to post new topics of replying to existing.

Resetting the throttle to 0 seems to help temporarily, but it always reverts back to 10 seconds.

Tried deactivating all plugins and no difference.

roddaut: Which membership software are you using. We have iMember360 (aka InfusionWP)

anyone: Is there somewhere in the php files where I can set the throttle to 0 (other than in the dashboard, which isn’t sticking)?

vaantti: The throttle setting is under Settings > Forum

Thanks

Hi all,

Just a quickie, are there any stress testing scripts or tools available to test user load on Buddy Press. I have found the AB analysis tool under Apache but would like something a little more precise?

Many thanks in advance

Hi, I’m struggling a bit to get started with bbpress plugin dev, I’ve managed to write plugins for WP in the past thanks to the WP codex. Looking at other threads I see the advice is to look at the WP documentation or look at examples – I’ve tried both and getting a bit stuck. If anyone has some time to help me get hooked into the API it would be much appreciated – after that I should be able to start creating some cool stuff!

So my first experiment is to try and update a post within a topic. Looking at the append signature plugin I can see they use the bbp_get_topic_content filter. If I were updating “the_content” in WP I would do something like this:

function bbp_topic_content_append_text( $content = '') { 
            $content = $content . 'SOME_TEST_TEXT';

                    return $content;
    }

    add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_content', 'bbp_topic_content_append_text');

But this doesn’t do anything when I load a topic? Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks 🙂

I already searched this forum and quite a few people had a similar problem about 6 months ago. My case is a bit different though.

I’m running the latest version of bbPress on the latest version of WordPress.

The created forums are all open and public.

When I as an admin user create new topics in any forum, I get the following result on any of these forum pages:

> This forum contains X topics, and was last updated by Admin Y hour,
> Z minutes ago.
>
> Oh bother! No topics were found here!

The topics list simply does not show up for me as a creator of these topics. When logged in as a subscriber, everything shows fine though.

My list of plugins is:

bbPress, Black Studio TinyMCE Widget, Manage Upload Types, Polylang, User Access Manager, WordPress HTTPS, wp-jquery-lightbox, wpsc Support Tickets, WP SlimStat

The used theme is:

EvoLve by Theme4Press

[smiga]

jeeni, latest plugin code can be found on https://github.com/pippinsplugins/bbp-mark-as-read

[jeeni]

I’d love this feature too. Our forum is coming from phpBB and the unread posts is dearly missed. Where can I donate to support this plugin/update? Where is the download of the plugin in progress? I’d be happy to donate and test if it’s of any help.

[terri.swiatek@yahoo.com]

I am using Salutation as well as of 9/2012, maybe it’s a theme problem? But they always just say it’s a bbPress or Buddypress problem.

I’m using BuddyPress Version 1.6.1 and bbPress Version 2.1.2 I am using Sitewide Forums

I can create Groups and Topics but the Topics don’t appear on the site. What’s strange is it shows the count of Topics in the Forum and is putting the occupied space in the layout but they are not displayed.

If anyone can help me figure it out I’d be very grateful.

Also, the Search box for the Forums and the Order by: Dropdown menu when used don’t display any results when I know there should be items listed there.
Any Ideas?

Travel to last unread reply is “must have” feature. I dont think some special arrow is needed, the old 1.x bbpress plugin worked so, that in latest topics page you see unread topics in different collor and when you entered that topic, it automaticaly bring you to last unread post in that topic. It was simple and perfect.

Thanks Pippin, can’t wait to test it!

Is there also the possibility of having a link next to to the topic title, like an arrow, so when you click on the arrow it will send you to the last reply that you haven’t read in that topic?

[smiga]

Downloaded the latest version of code.

-“Mark all as read” works fine, tried for 439 topics at once, worked fast.
-“Unread forum topics” under profile seams to be working (initially I had case when new topics did not appeared as unread, but I was not able to repeat and catch exact case how I got it)

One remark – when user registers new topic or reply and do not wait 10 seconds his own topic appear as unread. Would be good to mark those immediately as read.

I’m running the latest version of WordPress and bbPress (forget to mention that, sorry)

[Lesley Austin]

Hello Pippin,
I haven’t had time to test this yet, but am following along on the comments and it brought something to mind. I ended up not being able to use another one of your plugins (the Mark as Read for posts) because longtime members would have had something like two hundred “unread” posts since the implementation of the plugin in was new.

Will this have the same drawback, or will there be a “mark All as read” option so everyone who has been keeping up can start fresh?

[tommcelvy]

Just tried (twice) to install bbPress (latest version into WP 3.4.2. After the install, the site is there, but the admin screen \wp-admin) returns no data at all. The only way to recover was to delete folder and begin again. Have done this TWICE now. Bluehost, WP was installed through Fantastico.

The plug-in appeared in the list of available plug-ins, I clicked on activate, screen went white, and could not access admin after that. Checked from my iPhone and iPad, same issue…

HELP!!!!!

Cool, thanks for testing it 🙂

[smiga]

This one works as expected -> “version with some ajax that will automatically mark topics as read after you have viewed them for at least 10 seconds”

I`m using “Response” theme. bbpress 2.1.2
With latest commit, started to apear something under users profile “Unread Forum Topics Viewing 30 topics – 1 through 30 (of 436 total)” Its already late, will try to play a bit tomorrow if have time.

By the way, maybe you can suggest theme what to use to have proper components?

Yes, topics remember Mark as Read/Unread link usage. Will download latest version…

[Pippin Williamson]

Alright, I have an initial version done and ready for anyone who wants to test it. Just download it from Github (it will be on the repo shortly).

It will add a Mark as Read/Unread link next to the Subscribe/Unsubscribe links on topics.

You can also view a list of all unread topics by going to your bbPress profile, in the same way you would view favorites or subscribed topics.

A few things I have left to do:

• Auto mark a topic as read when replying
• Auto marking a topic as read once on the page for more than a few seconds
• Create a widget to show unread topics

Anything else?

You mean WP Post comments integrated with bbPress forums? I hope that’s not a deal breaker because as far as I know, either someone has still to create a plugin that can do that and release it OR you have to code it OR you have to hire a developer to make the plugin for you.

re #1 – bbPress is responsive but needs some more tweaking https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1933

re #2 – like the left or right column at http://testbp.org/discussion/

re #3 – hmm, haven’t seen a plugin like that, but it could be done

re #4 – Nothing is perfect in this world. bbPress works all right out of the box. So unless you have a private community, then just like many forum scripts out there, you’d need some anti-spam plugins or better yet, an active community which tags spams so admin/keymaster or moderators can delete such posts and/or members

re #5 – yes, easy to use

[jumpsocial]

I installed bbPress at EndlessLift.com.

When I go to /forums it doesn’t have any links to do anything. No “Register” no “Login”. How are my users supposed to know what to do?

I found a Widget so I could have some links in the sidebar. When I click the links in the sidebar you can see my test content. But no links to do things like register.

What am I doing wrong?

[Jon Hardison]

I’m having having the freakiest issue. Basically, I’ve got an Multisite network running BuddyPress and a separate (non bp) install of bbPress. I’m the super-admin.

I noticed that my role on the main site had been set to Forum User or some such, so I changed it back to Administrator because other plug-ins needed me to be a super-admin in order for them to work properly. Fine, so I’m working away and someone asks me a question on the forum. I answer it and bam! Things stop working again. (??)

I go back and check and sure enough, I’m a forum user again.
I want to use the forum, but i don’t want to be a Forum User. If this a bug or did I mess something up?

Thanx for any info you can provide.

I’m running the latest version of everything (WP, BP, and BB) on CentOS and a bunch of other junk.

WordPress 3.4.2 / bbPress 2.1.2 / site: bit.ly/OVo94w

Have never used bbPress before so bear with me.

The main problem is all non-admin/author/etc users (including public) cannot see any of the posts (confirmed with a test account as both a basic and paid user). Anybody that’s not a user essentially can see the posts though. Can provide screenshots or test logins if needed.

As if that wasn’t bad enough, after a WordPress update, a cropped version of the main logo for the site started showing up on the forum index after ‘Forums by’.

There also seems to be an issue with public visibility of all the forums on the index (have checked permissions/etc). They all show up to a logged in user but only 2 of them show up for a non-registered/public user and bots indexing the site.

Have tried a number of things so far that i have found in other topics here: Disabling Akismet (and a number of other plugins to see if there are any conflicts), Deactivating and Reactivating bbPress, deleting and re-creating the forums, and more.

At this point I am a little lost, and not sure how to fix these and really would like to avoiding having to completely re-install bbPress/Wordpress.

Thanks for your help in advance.
