Hi, I have a project which updates the forum daily through an import program.

What I need is to run the repair tool that has bbpress once a day, when all imports are finished.

I found this code but I can not make it work.

function bbp_register_default_repair_tools() {

  // Topic meta
  bbp_register_repair_tool( array(

what functions are you using to create the topics/replies – if you are creating topics and replies using bbpress functions, then repair shouldn’t be needed.

do you want me to take a look at your import code ?

[@liderxlt Participant 6 years, 9 months ago]

Hello, thanks for answering @robin-w
I’m using an import plugin called wpallimport.

Do you suggest that when importing, update the topic or reply data that you are importing at that moment?

If possible, I would like to do it with a scheduled task since I have more than 100 daily imports with a pro- file of 300 imported records for each one. Imports are scheduled to run between 13 pm and 17 pm.

I think that if I execute repair only once (5:30 pm) I will demand less from my server and I will be able to import it faster.

[@robin-w Moderator 6 years, 9 months ago]

the functions you need to call are in

includes/admin/tools.php

so if you wanted to run the topic reply count you would link this function to cron

bbp_admin_repair_topic_reply_count()

But be careful about running mulitples of these, they are really resource hungry !

[@dralawady Participant 2 years ago]

@liderxlt : have you managed to get it sorted. I’m trying to add a code snipped to BuddyBoss theme to run forum repair on daily basis. Can you share the code snippet with me please?

@robin-w: how can make use of includes/admin/tools.php functions through a theme code snippet?

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years ago]

You need to get this working within Cron.

2 choices

1. pay someone to write a plugin specifically for you to use cron to do this
2. use a cron plugin such as https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-cron-manager/ and add the tasks in there

I suggest you go for option 2 – free and would probably be much better

[@dralawady Participant 2 years ago]

@robin-w: I guess my problem is in adding the event to the cron. The function I’m trying to run is bbp_admin_repair_freshness and it’s declared in tools.php file, however there is no hook attached to it. I tried the this snippet code but it didn’t work:

if ( ! wp_next_scheduled( 'bbp_sync_forum_topics_activity' ) ) {
	wp_schedule_event( time(), 'hourly', 'bbp_sync_forum_topics_activity' );
}

add_action( 'bbp_sync_forum_topics_activity', 'bbp_admin_repair_freshness' );

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years ago]

sorry, I can’t say why that would not work.
