I have a big decision to make regarding bbPress. I have an eCommerce site we are about to launch which uses WooCommerce, with about 70 plugins.
I could install bbPress (with all the plugins I need) in the single site as it is, but I’m concerned about having 80-90 total plugins in a single site (bbPress + Woo plugins).
Also, I’m wondering how all those bbPress plugins in the same site as Woo will effect performance. I’d really rather not slow the eCommerce down, or bbPress for that matter.
I know some plugins (scripts, etc) also load on every page/post even when they aren’t being used. I’ve seen and used methods to manage this, but it’s not a perfect science. So I might have bbPress scripts loading on Woo pages and vice versa. Of course the more scripts that load on a page, the slower that page becomes.
What I was considering was creating a multisite installation and installing bbPress in a separate sub site from Woo. This way, all the bbPress plugins and performance drain would be isolated more to that specific site.
Then again, I’m really not sure the best path to take. Any suggestions on where to go from here? Thanks for any help.
there is no option to add new plugin. the three stock plugins are there and can be activated or deactivated but there is no option to upload a new one. What should i do?
My installation is here: https://discusspf.com/community/
My trouble is with font sizes. OP seems to be too small, all further replies are decent size and anything included in a quote is huge. Is there a way to change these just for the bbPress part of my theme? I have the ability to add custom CSS for bbPress but don’t know what code to add. Can someone please supply code which will make OP and quote text the same size as all the replies. Thanks a bunch in advance!
WordPress 4.9.4, bbPress 2.5.14
From topic subscriptions I’m getting bounced email messages that look like this:

They bounce, obviously, because they have the same From and To addresses. There is no user who has this address, obviously. The mail is being generated by PHP–that is, I’m not using any additional plugin to send mail.
Any ideas on what might be causing this, and how it might be resolved?
I’m sorry that I can’t link to the site, but it is an intranet, so not publicly available.
Hi! I would like to provide the best writing experience possible for users of the forum I plan to set up with bbpress. Gutenberg is a good example–a clean “elegant” interface, options to go full screen (so the only thing user sees is where they will write), options to style with a button click, and option to easily insert code snippets with a button click. Its comparable to using good writing software, and no need for non-technical users to know what “UL”, “OL”, “Li” etc mean.
I have been looking through some plugins for styling bbpress, but I have not seen them discuss this aspect. Are there options available to make the bbpress text editor “elegant” in a way that is comparable to Gutenberg or the writing experience on a spot like medium.com?
How do I remove the sending date of bbPress topic?
Hi There.
I am brand new to bbpress. I am starting a site that has functionality similar to a question/answer site (like stackoverflow). Is bbpress still the best option for that?
Details: It seems like bbpress is a great plugin, but I have concerns because:
(i) it looks like some people have had issues with bbpress’s speed as the bbpress-created forum grows, and
(ii) bbpress generally seems meant for inserting a forum onto a wordpress site as just one feature, not as the entire site itself. For example, bbpress.org (this site) has a number of different types of pages, and the forum is just one type. What if, instead, the whole site was the forum? Like on stackoverflow, where the entire site is geared toward the question/answer forum. In that case, the forum might be getting more traffic and forum performance would be more important, because it represents the entire site experience.
Is bbpress the best choice for creating this type of question/answer site, or should performance concerns lead me elsewhere? The main alternative I see is to build the site not based on a forum plugin, but based on other more targeted plugins geared toward allowing users to create posts, and then linking those posts together in a forum-like way.
Any info on this is much appreciated.
“bbpress” How can I display topic tags in a single post of topic?
[New topic] opens TinyMCE on the Text tab. My users think HTML is a government department 🙂 so can I default it to open on the View tab instead?

Forum Creation Editor has stopped “publishing” … I can build Forums, and keep drafts. But publishing has failed.
