We are considering BBPress to power discussions on our high traffic website. The site also runs WP and we’ve had our share of scalability issues as we’ve grown. Searching the forums here I was terrified to read about known issues with slow query times and with private forums.
Can anyone confirm that these problems have been fixed with the latest version? is BBPress really scalable?
Our traffic / setup info:
– over 150k registered users
– over 1M unique visitors per month
– running latest version of WP v3.5.2
– have APC and Memcache installed on Apache
– use W3TC
– use HyperDB
I want to increase the size of an avatar on a forums landing page. I could just go into loop-single-topic.php and change this line:
<?php printf( __( 'Started by: %1$s', 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_topic_author_link( array( 'size' => '14' ) ) ); ?>
But I’d rather not edit core files. I’m having troubles making this change in my functions.php with apply_filter. Wondering if anyone can help me out here.
I’ve set up two forums (neither have parent) but for some reason the forum index page is pulling in the name of the second forum. I’ve tried deleting that one and it reverts to the name of the first forum. Can I not just have the index called ‘Forums’?
i dont want to be that guy but seriously… 80% of support threads go unanswered and most of the ones that have replies consist of someone asking if the OP figured out a solution for their problem… smh
Hi together,
I have two problems, I cannot solve by myself. I spent hours, but didn’t make any progress.
I would really appreciate some help!
Here is a picture, showing the problems:
# Problem one, the red marked “dots”. I really don’t have any idea, how to remove them.
# Problem two, the green marked “forum text”. How can I change “size and color”? I examined the whole CSS file, but couldn’t figure it out.
Thanks in advance!

Hello, just download bbpress for the first time. I believe it is version 2.0. While the bbpress works great with theme, I’d like have the topics be a big more defined. I was doing some reading about bbpress and wondered is someone can explain the difference in a Skin and Theme? Or what is the css I can make changes too?
Thanks
Hi,
I have just installed bbpress moderation plug-in, but my question is not about the moderation plug-in, it is about putting a default text into the reply field, so that the users can read before posting. This is because currently bbpress moderation plug-in does not notify the user that the reply/post is held for moderation. So the user posts something in the forum, but nothing happens, there is no message saying that user’s message is awaiting moderation. The plug in author was asked about this 8 months ago, and he replied that it would be difficult to do something about this, and apparently the color of the reply is yellow, hinting that the reply is held for moderation. But there is no way of knowing this. So I decided to put the default text into the reply field so that the user can read before posting. I don’t know how to do this, I am quite new to bbpress.
I see the Group Extension in BBPress checks to see if the BBP_Forums_Group_Extension class is already defined, but I cannot figure out which action I need to hook into so that my custom BBP_Forums_Group_Extension is used instead of the default BBPress Group Extension.
Please help!
Hello,
I recently just updated to BuddyPress 1.8 with the Default Theme and now my widgets are not showing unless members are logged in. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Just downloaded the bbPress for the forum option and trying to mess with it before I can tell my company to use it. Able to create forum and topic and link them to each other. Also, able to embed the forum in a page. Now everything is set up on the forum for public and open, but when I visit the forum to test it, it won’t let me reply to it.
I am doing this in a different browser and not logged in on that browser so that doesn’t mess it up. Please help.
