Did you try importing in the latest bbPress 2.6-beta 2 ?

WP Version: 4.7.3
bb Version: 2.5.12
Theme: Uncode 1.4.2 – compatibility confirmed
bb Forum Root: “forums”

I’ve had some difficulty setting up and styling my bbPress forums root page, similar to this user: how-to-actually-partner-root-with-a-wp-page/

I have since figured out how to establish a custom WP page as a root for my forum. I had to match the slug declared in the forum settings, AND use the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode. I thought it was either/or. If I only matched the slug, I would just get an empty page. If I just used the shortcode, I would have inconsistencies in the bbPress breadcrumb.

Now that I have declared a custom root, I’m getting my styles ignored or rejected or something. I have my page options set to hide the page title, WP breadcrumb, and some “inline” CSS to hide the menu. (My client needs a custom menu.) These options and styles work on all pages except for the forums root. They just get ignored.

I tested with fresh pages built from scratch multiple times to see where the problem was. I can use the shortcode just fine, but then my custom page is no longer my root page. As soon as I set my custom page’s slug to match the slug in the forum settings, I lose my styles.

How can I get a custom forum root that also has custom styles?

What I want: (Visually at least)

Hi There,

My client had reported a strange issue that started recently. If I navigate to the forum page, then login to WP, the WP admin bar displays at the top as normal. When I navigate back to the forum page after logging in, the admin bar does not show up on this page only until I refresh the page. At first I thought it was a caching issue with a Autoptimize cache plugin but it still occurs after I deactivate.

There is an error logging for bbPress repeatedly:
[04-Apr-2017 17:56:26 UTC] WordPress database error You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘))) AND hn09m16p3_posts.post_type IN (‘topic’, ‘reply’) AND (hn09m16p3_posts.po’ at line 1 for query SELECT hn09m16p3_posts.* FROM hn09m16p3_posts FORCE INDEX (PRIMARY, post_parent) WHERE 1=1 AND (hn09m16p3_posts.ID = 8481 OR hn09m16p3_posts.post_parent = 8481) AND ((())) AND hn09m16p3_posts.post_type IN (‘topic’, ‘reply’) AND (hn09m16p3_posts.post_status = ‘publish’ OR hn09m16p3_posts.post_status = ‘closed’ OR hn09m16p3_posts.post_status = ‘reported’ OR hn09m16p3_posts.post_status = ‘acf-disabled’ OR hn09m16p3_posts.post_author = 217 AND hn09m16p3_posts.post_status = ‘private’ OR hn09m16p3_posts.post_author = 217 AND hn09m16p3_posts.post_status = ‘hidden’) ORDER BY hn09m16p3_posts.post_date ASC made by require(‘wp-blog-header.php’), require_once(‘wp-includes/template-loader.php’), apply_filters(‘template_include’), WP_Hook->apply_filters, call_user_func_array, bbp_template_include, apply_filters(‘bbp_template_include’), WP_Hook->apply_filters, call_user_func_array, bbp_template_include_theme_compat, BBP_Shortcodes->display_topic, bbp_get_template_part, bbp_locate_template, load_template, require(‘/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-single-topic.php’), bbp_has_replies, WP_Query->__construct, WP_Query->query, WP_Query->get_posts

I used the repair forums tools one by one and now all the forums/topic/replies content is not displaying but the count is correct for each forum/topic, when I go into any of the forums/topics it says “Oh bother! No topics found here”.

I’m currently setting up a test site to strip it down and see if I can find the cause but I wanted to post this to make sure it isn’t a general bbPress issue with the SQL statement. Any help would be appreciated.

Wordpress version: 4.7.3
bbPress version: 2.5.12

Thanks!

Hi,

I tried to add a custom css style to roles label, and it looks cool, but It doesn’t look right in mobile devices. I tested several codes without success.

May anybody help about it?

1.- Right now looks like this:

2.- I would like to have something like this:

Code:

{text-align: center;
 margin: 0 0 5px 0;
 padding: 1px;
 font-style: normal;
 border: 3px double #050505;
 background-color: #fff;
 color: #070707;
 border-radius: 5px;
 -webkit-border-radius: 5px;
 -moz-border-radius: 5px;}

Thanks,

Good morning, my name is Michael and I am writing from a distant country of Poland :). I have a website dedicated to bodybuilding based on xoops, but I will soon change to wordpress. I have converted all 1200 articles, comments and users, but I have a problem moving forums …

The newbb script is similar to phpbb, so I used the available converter in the admin panel, I modified it a little, basically the beginning of the category and description of the forum sections. It looks like:
http://www.kulturystyka.org.pl/test/forums/

Further modification of the phpBB.php file unfortunately did not produce the expected results, because the newbb script has changed a bit, and the converter in the BBpress package is probably not updated for a long time ….?

Please help me to modify this file so that it finishes work ie it has moved topics, utterances and users. Below I show how the structure of individual tables in the newbb module (xoops) looks like. I am green in terms of these matters, I am surprised myself that I have moved the forum sections. My WP version is 4.7.3

I found something like this: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/includes/admin/converters/Example.php?order=name

Yesterday and today I’m struggling with it …

I will be very, but very grateful for the help shown. Regards, Michal

Here is the original graph.

View post on imgur.com

That massive CPU use that was bringing the site to a crawl and destroying this brand new server that ONLY has this single forum running on is, is due to wordpresses terrible idea of using /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php to poll the shit out of the server for bad reasons 24/7 any time someone has a page open.

Also partially due to bbpress slowness.

That first large drop in cpu you see, and the subsequent large drop to the end of the graph is me completely blocking admin-ajax.php in nginx until I can figure out how to make it work smarter.

All the latest heartbeat plugins do no seem to work with the latest wordpress. Cannot slow down the heartbeat or turn it off, so I filtered it.

This is really bad, because I have a community website that allows people to post photos and videos (outside the forum with custom post types) and all of that is broken with admin-ajax.php being blocked.

Seems no one has successfully solved this issue well on the internet 🙁

As to performance
——————-
This same site used to run on vanilla forums on a 2 cpu box with 4 gigs of ram very FAST.

The wordpress/bbpress version runs on a 6 cpu, 12gig box which also includes php 7 upgrade.
PHP7 is a huge speed improvement over 5.6.

This new machine literally only had this one site on it.

The old box was somewhat shared with the vanilla forum.

So even with effectively double the power, if not more, this runs substantially slower on wordpress/bbpress *sigh*

I just have to accept I need to pay triple the price for half the performance if I want to stick to wordpress.

Unless bbpress some day decides to have its own tables, and re-architect specifically for forum performance, were stuck with this. That of course would break a ton of plugins with the whole “share everything via the posts table architecture”.

May be worth it though. There is a big opportunity here to take over the forum world because its frankly is disarray. All the forum software out there is in a state of suck or dying and there is no clear winner. The integration with wordpress, and its zillion plugins, are what makes this performance sacrifice barely worth it.

I’ve tried a new thing.

I created a new WP table by changin the table prefix on wp-config.php, activated all my plugins + child theme, added a new users and created a test forum…

I got my edit button.

So it’s in my DB, no ?

Hi,
I tried several CSS hacks but did not manage. I suspect something in your theme is causing this. As a test could you switch to a default theme (like twenty sixteen) ? If it then works fine, you will have to get support from the theme author.

Hi,

I recently saw that all of my forums and reply pages won’t open. The only thing that opens now is the first page of the forum. The others open only in blank page.

Moreover, when I discovered the issue, I deactivated and re-activated all of my plugins, I have reinstalled the bbPress plugin, I have deactivated all of the plugins except bbPress and I have reindexed the permalink but nothing fixed the issue.

I mention that I have created forums and that there are hundreds of replies in there. Also, I’m using the latest version of bbPress on the latest version of WordPress.

My forum is here: https://itutorial.ro/forum/ .

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

[Pascal Casier]

Sorry, you have already done the import I see now. I thought you were blocked during the import.

2.6 is bringing better import mechanisms (but you don’t have an issue there), better performance and lots of other stuff (see https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-2-6-beta/).

I would propose to run the 2.6 in a test environment and see if it solves your issues.

Pascal.

Hi @7mps,

Are you trying to switch to bbPress or to the latest version of eMyBB ?

Pascal.

[Saravanan]

I am trying to updat eMyBB 1.6 to Latest Version Updation Error :

Fatal error: Call to undefined method datacache::update_reportreasons() in /home/indianengineers/public_html/install/upgrade.php on line 598

[5lions]

I ran into all kinds of issues with php 7.1.
A bunch of stuff doesnt work with it yet.

I would try version 7.0.16.

That was the latest version that would work with everything for me.

[Saravanan]

HI,

Now i updated into Latest My BB.

Still I Can’t Import MYBB forum data using import forum tools within BuddyPress.

any other way.

[ddevries]

My search results don’t show the topic name…

When the keyword is found in a topic, the search result shows the forum name and the topic description (no topic name).

When the keyword is found in a reply, the search result shows just the reply and who wrote it. No forum, no topic. So, there’s no context. You can link via topic # in the upper right corner, but that’s not very user-friendly.

Is this wacky display because of my theme? I’m using Razor. I have the latest bbPress. Can I change the code to display the search results similar to how you do it here on this support site, where it says “in reply to <topic name>”? If so, where can I do that?

Thank you in advance for your help. 🙂

Hi Robin

Sorry for my late answer. I’ve test it with php version 7.0 and now I’ve also a blank screen with the following message (when I activate the wordpress debug):

Does anyone know if this code still works? Also where do I post this to test it?

Thank you! 🙂

Hi,

Before I begin, please don’t lecture me on why I should always use the latest WordPress version – let’s just say that I’m very well aware of all the usual arguments, but I’ve got a mountain of much better reasons why I don’t want to ‘upgrade’. And 3.7+ get all security updates anyway.

Anyway, I am currently successfully running 2.5.10 on WordPress 3.7.19. In the release notes for 2.5.11 you updated the minimum requirements from 3.6 to 4.2, and on the plug-in page specifies 4.7! Why does such a minor point release require such a huge jump in requirements? The only issue I have with 2.5.10 is the 3.8+-style icons (which would only require a minimum of 3.8 anyway).

[dayan89]

Latest reply link in sidebar widget leading to topic’s first page instead of latest reply. This is happeining only in one specific topic – http://prntscr.com/el6sac http://dailyfantasysports.ru/forum/topic/ponesli-sandali-mityu/#post-20932 Others are working fine. What’s the problem? Any idea?

[whitecedar]

I created whole new copy of the site, I activated and updated one plugin at a time. Checkign each time to make sure things were still working properly.

The problem is only between bbpress and the latest version of wordress.

this is the error I get: Warning: ksort() expects parameter 1 to be array, object given in /home/blendics/staging/2/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core/template-functions.php on line 316

[repyourhood619]

Hey Robin and Kajzh, did you ever get this to work? I am having the exact same problem. the custom made role is showing up under the forum role dropdown on the user profile but when the profile is saved after selecting the new role it does the default message when no role is assigned “No Role For These Forums”. Robin I did what you suggested by deactivating plugins and changing the theme but to no avail. Please see the function below.

function np_add_custom_role( $bbp_roles ) {
 
	$bbp_roles['beta_tester'] = array(
			'name' => 'Beta Tester', 'bbpress',
            'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() )
	);
	return $bbp_roles;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'np_add_custom_role', 10 , 2 );

Thanks in advanced!

[dmayer5]

Awesome, just tested it, thank you!

[Pascal Casier]

It must be a plugin somewhere that does this!

Have you tried installing a plugin like ‘Postman SMTP’ and check the logs ? In that plugin, in the advanced options there is also a way to change to TEST which (I suppose) will delete all emails before sending them out.

Keep us informed!

[brettdarnesh]

@casiepa

I tried your suggested untested code

`function casiepa_fltr_get_forum_subscribers( $user_ids ) {
return array();
};
// add the filter
add_filter( ‘bbp_forum_subscription_user_ids’, ‘casiepa_fltr_get_forum_subscribers’, 10, 1 );`

it’s not working for me 🙁

I have an urgent matter where bbpress is sending our multiple emails not just from the recent activities of the day but from all notifications from the beginning of the whole forum. I’m not sure on how to stop the thing. People are being driven nuts
