Hi,

Does anyone know why
when threaded (nested) replies are enabled, the pagination disappears?

is it possible to bring it back?

thanks
Kris

Hi,
How can I disable the possibility to create a new topic by a user. I only want them to be able to insert their answer that everybody can see.

Actually I would like to be able to hide all answers until the user has answered himself.

Is that possible?

Thanks in advance

Annie

I’m not exactly sure how to describe this problem. But I’ve seen this happen twice now. The situation is that there are several forums, and each one has a “sticky” post at the top, describing the guidelines for the particular forum.

At some point, the post at the top of one forum is duplicated on all the forums. So forums B, C, D, … all have the “forum A Guideline” post at the top of them (in addition to their own guideline post).

I’m not very good with images, but I hope this kind of shows what’s happening:

FWIW, when I look in the database. The post in question shows its parent as the proper forum.

On a related note, I’d love to know how bbPress figures out the relationship between forums, topics, and posts. I see that each element has a pointer to its parent. But I haven’t been able to figure out where the pointers to a forum or post’s children are.

The only documentation I was able to find on the database is:

Stored Database Data

Could somebody point me to further documentation? Or let me know if I just need to read the code (specific pointers would be appreciated).

I have a user who wants to know if they can sort by latest posts. Is that possible with the bb style pack? Or at all?

So I have a really weird issue…some users who are assigned to the associated courses for the LearnDash bbPress integration are getting the message that they are not enrolled in the associated courses. The weirder part is a link to one topic is now linking to a separate topic.

Astra Theme
WP Version: 5.4.2
bbPress Version: 2.6.5
LearnDash LMS – bbPress Integration Version: 2.1.1

Any suggestions for a fix?

Is there a way to show the timestamp from latest/newst comment/reply on the forum instead of what appears to be the last topic created?

I want to show a message on the top of My Forum Page. Please respond how can i done that.

Is there any functionality built into bbPress, or has someone adapted their install, to somehow force closed threads to be served as static (cached) pages to both non-logged-in and logged-in users? This seems like it would be the most compelling reason to auto-close stale threads, and keep database queries to a minimum.

I’m not sure why, but a topic keeps going into moderation. This is a comment I received.

I have to admit that it’s somewhat frustrating that all my posts go into moderation, even ones that have been active should I make a minor edit. There are now two posts in moderation, a new one and an old one

Any suggestions?

We are evaluating a move to an enterprise hosting environment at Pagely and are encountering some issues with bbPress performance there. We are currently on an E1 with 16 PHP workers at Kinsta, and the action of posting to the forums (our slowest action) takes 8-15 seconds depending on server load.

At Pagely, the post query takes at least 30 seconds and the browser usually times out (60 sec) before everything finishes up and returns the topic page to the user.

We’ve been analyzing with Pagely engineers and have learned this:

Because Pagely uses an RDS, and bbPress uses a whole series of queries that require multiple calls and answers to/from the RDS, communications latency is a huge problem that makes our bbPress install non-functional in this environment. In contrast to Kinsta, where the database is local and not remote.

Question:

Anyone have guidance on getting a large bbPress forum (100k+ topics, 1M+ replies) to run fast in an RDS environment?
