Hi everybody,

I just converted my phpbb3 forum to bbPress with these details:

topics: 1.290

posts: 25.800

members: 7.960

Now the really annoying part comes up. Anaylzing the source code with firebug I discovered the reason for the slow performance: There are too much queries executed! I disabled all plugins and removed all widgets (using bp-default together with bbpress / buddyPress). Still the amount of queries executed rises from 60 to 222 executions (forum view / topic index / reply) taking up to 3 seconds to execute.

I just went over to testbp.org/discussion and annalyzed the code seeing:

<i><!– Generated in 1.506 seconds. (184 q) –></i>

So looks like a normal behaviour. Tried also w3totalcache and that works fine for logged-out users but once I enable w3totalcache for logged-in users then I get strange outputs.

Does anyone have experience with a forum in the size stated above? It looks like I need to get a fully cached bbpress working to consider switching to bbpress but after spending days of work to convert and design the new website I am afraid that I will get stuck now.

If someone here has experience then please give me a shout! I really would like to use the wp / bbpress / buddypress combo but the slow performance won’t let me use it for now.

First you should disable all plugins manually using cpanel, just rename your ‘plugins’ folder into ‘plugins2’ then you should be able to enter the wp admin.

After browse to plugins page, you will see lots of errors because of no plugins located. Then rename your ‘plugins2’ from cpanel into ‘plugins’ again and try activate a plugin one by one to figure what the culprit.

Hi, wee problem. I’m looking to get the RSS feed for new topics of a forum only.

I know you can add /rss to the end of a forum URL to get the feed for it but is it possible to do so for topics only?

for example: http://www.onlyanexcuse.com/discussion/forum/scottish-football-forum/scottish-premier-league/rss/

gives all topics and replies. There is a widget on the sidebars which gives latest topics so I assume it is possible.

I’m running BBPress 2.0 with BuddyPress.

Thanks in advance.

Have you created a test forum and some topics under it?

@tnwinn

The numbers represent topics/replies for each forum so if it says (3,4) that means there are 3 topics and 4 replies in that forum.

Also, I would suggest maybe upgrading bbPress to the latest nightly vs. as it does not use tables.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/plugin

download link is on the bottom of the page.

***BACKUP YOUR SITE***

The nightly beta has been just fine for me and others, but as always backup first.

Your right, your forums look horrible. I’m kinda hoping that the new theme built into the new vs. of bbPress might help you out.

Also, your theme is from a decent company, I’d also go over there and ask them for a little bit of help with the styles. There is nothing conflicting that I see, but for some reason your tables are all evenly spaced which is why the homepage looks so bad. The new theme does not use tables, so it might help.

I just installed fresh latest WordPress + latest bbPress + several plugins (I have deactivated now) + Members plugin (a role manager plugin).

Create new roles of

– Forum Newbie

– Forum Member

The problem is when I trying to manage limit access to specific forum / post’s content it not work.

As sample for Forum A I limit access only to Admin, but others still can get it. Anyone have this problem before? I still trying some possible solutions.

[aravoth2011]

Testing this now, not having any weird compatability issues. I use a child theme of twentyeleven I made. I did notice however that I lost alot of css customizations on the forum. Did you go go with a tableless layout or something?

I only mention it because I was using forum Icons on the main forum page, and it’s kinda hard to position them now. Not a big deal or anything.

Hi. I’m trying to install this super awesome forum, but I think installation tutorial too short for me.

OMG1# Plugin activated, where is forum located??? http://mysite.com/forum http://mysite.com/forums – 404! Test forum been created in settings. Wtf?

OMG2# Found only this link working for just created forum http://mysite.com/?forum=test-1 But where is general page? Where is promised installer written in docs?

OMG3# NGINX on server, what next? Guess this is a main problem. And this: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/mu-wordpress-bbpress-integration-with-nginx-rewrites#post-11686 seems not what should be because forum in /wp-content/pluging and this

“

location /forums/ {

root /home/YOURDIRECTORY/public_html/forums;

index index.php;

“

for what?

At this moment my forum is completely unuseable.

Thank you.

I would like to say thanks to for the latest bbPress release, but there is many way to get it the way I want it.

Hi please can you assist. For some of my users the default edit profile link in BBpress does not work. It simply refreshes to the same page without going to the user/edit link. Yet for some of my users it works fine. I don’t see any relationship between those that can and those that can’t, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I am using the plugin version of 2.02 with latest wordpress in MU.

I was testing the bbPress because I was dissatisfied with BuddyPress … I give up of bbPress too.. you must have confidence in a forum script to put into production .. I do not trust in bbPress… do not recommend..

Hi peeps,

I have once before integrated an older release of bbPress 2 which worked fine, i was able to get all the templates to inherit from the activate WordPress theme but in the latest release that inheritance seems to have stopped working for me. Here’s a rundown of what i have done:

1. Copied all the files from within /bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten to the current theme i have activated
2. I have merged the activate themes functions.php file with the functions.php file from bbp-twentyten and removed the extra 2 occurrences for style.css
3. Re-named all occurrences of Twenty-Ten to %THEME_NAME%
4. Ensured add_theme_support('bbpress') exists at the top of my activate themes functions.php file

I have tried everything i physically can, i can modify the files within my themes bbpress folder but just am unable to get the page-* files to respect my changes. I have more then likely overlooked something but i have spent a good 1-2 hours reading through thread after thread and have come up empty handy.

Thanks in advanced.

Hi,

how can I get these translations to have effect? I have set WordPress language to Romanian and uploaded the bbpress-ro_RO.po and bbpress-ro_RO.mo files to wp-content/languages/ and wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-languages/ but it didn’t affect anything.

I’m looking forward to create translations for another language but I’m first testing how it works.

We still have a problem with spam and bbPress. We’re still getting 40+ spam posts a day. We have tried quite a few things to get rid of this problem but nothing seems to be working.

Currently our site is running the latest version of bbPress, we have the Akismet Plugin activated & running, and we also have the Stop Spammer Registrations reCAPTCHA Plugin for new user registration.

We have tried the reCaptcha for bbPress 2.0 this didn’t make much difference and we couldn’t use this Plugin in conjunction with the spammer registration Plugin so have removed it for now for testing.

We are running out of ideas and things to try. Here is an image illustrating the crap being posted on our forums: http://instinct-downloads.s3.amazonaws.com/bbpress-spam.jpg

Can anybody else relate to this?

[shooo]

Thank you,

I was completely unmotivated last night, things are better this morning, the motivation is back.

I will re test the plugin next week, or make a manual injection.

and if it does not work, I will contact the experts:).

Thank you very much to you for your support and the information / idea.

good day

Give this one a try:

Hi All!

I’m getting quite far and have overcome a few problems myself which has been fun, but I am stuck with the style issue.

My theme and test is here: http://www.coffeesocial.co.uk/forums/forum/coffee-social-forum/

I am running a theme called Continuum, with a child theme that adds a few extra bits to the main theme.

I got as far as installing the files from the settings folder into my child theme folder (actually functions.php and style.css were overwritten because Filezilla did not warn me!!!)

Was that supposed to happen? Because it messed up the theme (although bbPress page style looked miles better) it still did not look much better than what it currently is: http://www.coffeesocial.co.uk/forums/forum/coffee-social-forum/

That aside, I went back and replaced the functions and style files with the correct ones from the original child theme to make my website look and function right.

Can I merge the two files style and functions to then include both necesarry code elements to let my theme and bbPress look correct?

It would be stupid to let the bbPress style and funcions overwrite becasue then it would mess up everyones themes. What did you guys do to get it working on a custom theme (i.e. not the one that comes with bbPress).

Cheers

There’s a “Zip Archive” link on the bottom of https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/plugin that will download the latest version. I hope you are aware 2.1 is a development version, not a released version of bbPress.

Hello, I’ve just set up bbPress 1.03

I’m having two issues, number 1 is that No emails go out when people attempt to register for the site

Number two is all of my posts show up as anonymous, and the threads show up as empty.

I am hosting this out of my own home, running the latest Apache and MySql through XAMPP.

I have test bbpress locally using my theme (it’s premium theme) and I have the same problem as you are (sidebar displays below the main content). I will follow this thread.

[aravoth2011]

Hey guys, I just wanted to say thanks for creating this plugin. The possibilities with it are only limited by a persons skill with php, and of course, their imagination.

Using this plugin, and attempting to build a website around it has dramatically increased my understanding of WordPress, PHP, and everything in between. Before I started tinkering around with this thing I didn’t even know what an array was, nor did I have the slightest understanding of loops, queries, actions, or functions. If I needed something on my website, I used plugins, which often slowed everything down quite a bit and created a ton of conflicts. Now I’m not only designing the website I wanted, but I’m understanding it’s architecture.

Though I am a long way from finishing it, I feel like I actually have the ability complete it on my own, which never would have happened without this plugin.

So thank you again to the creators of bbpress, you truly are the last surviving Jedi Masters of wordpress.

[HenriKroeze]

I’m new to bbPress and I am testing it right now to see if it is a good replacement candiate for a phpbb forum I own.

I’ve set up version 2.0.2 on WP 3.3.

I’ve ‘done’ the extensive installation video on YT, which was very helpful.

Although I really appreciate the cleanliness of bbPress, my forum members really need a few addtional features, like bbCode and PM’s.

I found both plugins, but they claim not to be compatible with bbPress 2.x

Also they’re referring to an installation system I don’t get, where is ppPress ‘myplugins’ directory located?? I cannot seem to find this folder, where should it be?

Thanks for helping me out! (and a version compatible indicator in the plugin section of this site would be very helpful for beginners like me!)

Henri

Good news!
