Widgets on Forum

Published on March 5th, 2019 by ajuuls

Hello! It’s about the Forum BBPress have. Whenever i activate the %postname% in permalinks i the the URL i want. But then the “Forum” page can’t have widgets.

Example:

With widgets, i get the URL i dont want:
www.dgf-esport.dk/?page_id=709

Without widgets, i get the URL i want:
www.dgf-esport.dk/forum

I’ve tried plugins with a side widget which many recommend, but the problem here is the i cant se the widget because of the permalinks, which i dont really get..

The website is live but far from finished yet. I do really hope anyone can help me!

bbPress performance problems

Published on March 4th, 2019 by spaceman_qc

bbPRess-wordpress is really slow on my site. 7 to 10 seconds loading the main forum page. Submitting a new topic can go over 20 sec. 75% of that time is waiting for a reply…

It’s hosted on a VPS and when I monitor the CPU and RAM memory, it is always under the max, CPU runs at 50-70% on a request and ram stays around 70% used.

It seems to me that the requests to mySql takes a long time to execute.

We have 11500 topics and 75000+ replies. It was a phpBB forum that has been converted to bbPRess.

What can I do to improve performances?

Guest Viewers Redirected To Home Page

Published on March 4th, 2019 by rngeer

Hello,

BBPress is running great on this site but if a visitor is a guest and clicks a topic to view the content, they are redirected to the home page. We are using WordPress pages with shortcodes to manage the forum.

If you view the sample forum and click the I’m In topic it goes to the home page as guests. We need guests to be able to see the topic info to decide if they want to join.

Any info would be great, here is the page:

Thank you.

What’s in a name?

Published on March 4th, 2019 by nhungthientai

Hi guys,
Hope this doesn’t come across as a really stupid question, or should I say, hope this doesn’t come across as a question that shows my stupidity……

You have me interested in the name “bbpress”. Can you shed some light on where the name came from and whether it means anything in particular?

Thanks in advance.

Image preview from URL pasted within bbpress posts?

Published on March 2nd, 2019 by cacarlyle

Hi there, first of all, sorry if this is something everybody knows, i did try to google it but came up with only things that aren’t the same as what i’m looking for.

What i would like is for an image preview of some sort to come up within the post or reply, in bbpress, whenever somebody pastes a URL. Ideally it should only happen for the first URL in each post or reply, and ignore any subsequent URLs, but if that’s fiddly then just something that will generate previews for any URLs posted would be very helpful.

Here is an example of it not happening: https://yesbook.scot/forums/topic/the-greatest-argument-of-all/

That’s me posting an OP in my bbpress forum, and as you can see i pasted some text from a web page, and then a URL link to the page. Now what would be ideal is if the post also automatically showed a picture, drawn from the URL, inline within the bbprss post, in the same way that facebook pulls a picture in when you post a URL on their site.

Is there a plugin that does this, or some simple tweak i can make to the config files of the site to make this happen? I’m not totally ignorant of how to use php and CSS but for the sake of argument, please assume that i am, because it isn’t far from the truth!

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

It is currently WordPress version 5.1 and bbPress version 2.5.14-6684
I am using DI Business Responsive theme, though i don’t think that makes much difference for this particular question.

Create new private Thread for each new User?

Published on March 1st, 2019 by csstanton

I have a need for the following to happen:

1.) New User is created in bbPress

2.) A Thread is automatically created inside one Forum (Private Forum) that is PRIVATE from all eyes but Admin and that new user

3.) If a Logged In User who is not Admin accesses the Private Forum, they will only see their own Private Thread. The Admin will be able to see all threads.

Can anyone point me in the direction of how this is possible?

Sort Topics Column By Number of Likes (Favorites)

Published on March 1st, 2019 by mattbru

I would like to sort the topics by the number of likes column on the admin edit screen.

This is what ive got:

<?php
// make columns sortable -------------------------------------------------
	
// define which columns to be sortable
add_filter( 'manage_edit-topic_sortable_columns', 'topic_likes_table_sorting' );
function topic_likes_table_sorting( $columns ) {
	$columns['likes_count'] = 'likes_count';
	return $columns;
}

// add sortable to meta key
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'likes_orderby' );
function likes_orderby( $query ) {
	if ( ! is_admin() ){ return; }

	$orderby = $query->get( 'orderby');

	if ( 'likes_count' == $orderby ) {
		$query->set('meta_key','bbpress_topic_like_button_like');
		$query->set('orderby','meta_value_num');
	}
}

I dont think there is a meta_key for favorites stored in the topic post_meta? I’m setting the number in the column by using the following:

$topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id($id);
$likes_count = bbp_get_topic_favoriters($topic_id);

I think the favorites are stored with the users metadata. So my best guess is that ill need to write a function that stores/updates the number of favorites inside the post meta. Then and only then can I sort the posts by that new metakey. Can anyone point me in the right direction with this?

Thank you!

Comments Blacklist

Published on March 1st, 2019 by writersabroad

I’m using WordPress 5.1 and Buddypress 2.5.14
My site is a writing community and we upload work for comments. Having trouble with some comments which wordpress block as part of the Comments Blacklist function in ‘Discussion’ settings. Have removed words I want to allow for posting without being blocked but still not able to post. For instance the word double breasted is not allowed because it contained one of the blacklist words. I have removed this from the list but it is still being blocked when I try and include it in a topic…

How to create a blacklist for robot users ?

Published on February 28th, 2019 by solide

Hello everyone,

I have a trouble in my forum.. Since yesterday, a big number of robots are subscribing. I can cancel their acccount manually but this is a big task!!

I would like to install a black list like in my email and sort e-mails from 3 or 4 domains directly into “blocked” because the email of the robots are all ending by “@ftaderda.info”, “@vieprinim.inf”, “@sendiacar.info” and “@regmailproject.info”

Thanks a lot for your help !!
