Wrong redirect when URL contains ID in string

Published on September 25th, 2017 by royurbanmedia

Currently I have a problem with profile URLs in bbPress redirecting to the wrong page if a user has a number in their name that happens to match a page ID.

What I mean is currently if I click a URL like this: www.mywebsite.com/forums/users/myusername

It will direct me to the forum profile of someone with the username ‘myusername’ as expected.

However, if I click on a URL like this: www.mywebsite.com/forums/users/myusername94

Instead of directing me to the profile of myusername94 as expected, it actually redirects me to a completely different page which ends up being the page with ID 94, i.e www.mywebsite.com?p=94

I am guessing this may have something to do with permalink settings, which are currently set to Post Name. Is there a way to resolve this issue while still being able to use the same permalink structure?

Using Sphinx Search Engine with bbPress

Published on September 25th, 2017 by Indrekkor

I am managing a largeish forum (2M+ replies) and would be interested is anyone using Sphinx Search Engine in their site?

We are using Sphinx RT index in another part of our website which is built on Yii framework and there we took the approach that site content is replicated into Sphinx from MySQL db.

So all the SELECT queries are done into Sphinx and MySQL gets bothered only with INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE statements.

Have not yet started working with this but thinking about taking the same approach with our bbPress forum to get rid of the slowness caused by SELECT SQL_CAL_FOUND_ROWS query.

In addition the aim would be to also create a blazing fast search alternative.

Has anyone tried to do something like this or has got any experience with Sphinx Search Engine and bbPress?

Forum premissions

Published on September 24th, 2017 by deanljbirch

Hey all,

I’ve got a few forums on my WP install and there’s a couple of which where I want to restrict the capabilities of users.

For example;
I have a “Team Updates” forum where I only want moderators to be able to create topics but participants can reply only.

Participants must be able to create topics in other forums.

Any advice?

Cheers in advance.

Profile limitations

Published on September 24th, 2017 by ercvowners

I am using WP 4.8.2; BuddyPress 2.9.1; BBPress 2.5.14 and Members 2.0.0
I have unchecked the option for “Anyone can register” because we are a discreet number of Owners in a COA. As Administrator, I create the accounts for Owners and control the Usernames to include unit numbers for identification. Because I don’t have the “anyone can register” field checked, it seems to limit functionality in creating groups, inviting friends, etc. I cannot assign pages to groups and members unless that function is checked, however I do not want other people registering. I also manage parts of the website for “Owner Only” access. Can you help? I want existing Owner/Members to have full functionality with their profiles, but I don’t want to open registration to outsiders.

Custom topic type with bbPress

Published on September 23rd, 2017 by ebr4him

I’d like to show custom fields based on topic ‘type’.

So I want to create a custom topic type ‘event’ that has additional fields — starts, ends and location. Although I can create the custom post type (using wp-types plugin) and fields (using Advanced custom fields) but I’m unable to use them in a bbPress forum.

Is it possible to have multiple custom topic types in a bbPress forum? So basically instead of creating a ‘topic’ inside a forum, I could create an ‘event’ that people would reply to. Or am I approaching this incorrectly and it should be done differently?
