Been running a bbp forum for a couple of weeks after migrating from phpbb (thanks a lot for writing the migration scripts). Though the forum seems to be going ok ive been getting a lot of users complaining about how long it takes to post a reply.

There are about ~470k replies and ~15k topics so there is a fair amount of content, it’s running on AWS with EC2 m1.medium server and RDS db.m3.medium database so there’s plenty grunt there.

So was wondering if there’s anything I could be doing optimise bbp or if anyone knew if some server config that may help.

Thanks

Any idea on how to do this? I’m wanting to show each member’s @username directly beneath their Display Name in my forums (just as is shown here).

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hello – is there a way I can disable getting emails for every new person who registers? Thanks!

Hi, I have a similar problem.
I’ve created a Page for my

called “classes”
and my permalinks are set to /%postname%/

so the URL of the main forum is: kwetufilminstitute.com/rmp/classes
and no longer http://kwetufilminstitute.com/rmp/forums

clicking on a “sub” forum results in e.g.
http://kwetufilminstitute.com/rmp/classes/forum/design-of-video-and-audio-products/

unchecking the box include the ‘forum prefix’ results in:
http://kwetufilminstitute.com/rmp/forum/design-of-video-and-audio-products/

and not:
http://kwetufilminstitute.com/rmp/classes/design-of-video-and-audio-products/
Which is what I would prefer.

Please help.

Thanks,

Hello,

I have this small question,
what template I shall edit if I want to modify the (topics of a certain forum) page to delete the function of getting the (new topic) section …. I want to remove the (new topic) section below the topics list?

Regards

Because I am trying to use a filter to change the wording within the file activity.php, within the bbpress directory, I think I’m in the correct forum.
I am trying the change the wording for the activity stream in buddypress: “jerry started the topic Doctor Sleep in the forum Horror” to “jerry added the book Doctor Sleep in the category Horror.”
I can go to bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/activity.php and make the change there. But I prefer to do this via a filter in bp-custom.php. I am ALMOST there. Here is the filter code I have in bp-custom.php:

add_filter( 'bbp_activity_topic_create', 'change_activity_wording', 1, 4 );
function change_activity_wording($activity_text, $user_link, $topic_link, $forum_link ) {
	$activity_text    = sprintf( esc_html__( '%1$s added the book %2$s in the category %3$s', 'bbpress' ), $user_link, $topic_link, $forum_link );
	return $activity_text;
}

What this produces is: “added the book in the category” and removes “jerry”, “Doctor Sleep”, and “Horror.” Basically, my filter is removing $user_link, $topic_link, and $forum_link. I’m thinking I need to redefine them in my function change_activity_wording? Or am I off track here?
If someone feels I should post this in the buddypress forum, let me know and I will do so.

So, my forum is at http://mmo4teen.com/forums/
and I wan it to look similar to a vbulletin forum, table like, especially the inside post and topic. Like avatar and info on the left with post on the right ( currently, it’s one on top of another ).
I tried a lot of css but it did’t work very well.
Anyone have some experience with this >

In a selected forum, how can i set the arrangement of topics by date of publishing not the last activity done on that topic.
as for example if a post is new and another one is old, and if a comment is posted on the old one, the arrangement will change such that the old will be on the top of the newer one !!

how can I change this option to have the arrangement based on the publish date ??
Regards …

I am getting “Oh bother! No topics were found here!” when I go to the forum, whether I am logged in or not. Another moderator is also experiencing the same problem so I know it is not just me. This happened about an hour or so ago. All was working fine until then.

What is interesting is if I click on one of the replies or topics listed in the sidebar forum widgets for Recent Topics, Recent Replies, I then CAN SEE the topics and replies. I can also see them in the dashboard. So they are all there, just won’t show up to the user.

I have run all the forum tools and that did not help. I have cleared cache and rebooted the browser. I switched themes to the current WP Twenty Fourteen with no luck. I tried opening it in Chrome, no difference, the forum is missing, though the topics and replies can be opened from the side widget. I am running WP 3.9.2.

Any other suggestions? We are an active forum and it’s important to get it back up working.
Thank you, Matoca

I have a page named “The Hive” that I placed the shortcode

onto in order to make that my forum index page. However when i go into a forum and then back out via the breadcrumbs at the top of the page, I’m no longer on the “The Hive” page index, but the “Forums” index.

I’m pretty sure I’m doing something wrong, so how can I have it to where…
1) I create a page to host the forum index named “The Hive”
2) When I click into a forum, the breadcrumbs read “Home/The Hive/[Forum Topic]”
3) When I click on “The Hive” in the breadcrumbs, it takes me back to “The Hive” page I created.

Now I am brand new to bbPress and as such, the method I outlined above might not be the way to do it. I’m not concerned with the process so much as the end result which can hopefully be something that doesn’t confuse the visitors when I launch the site.
