Can blog posts to automagically create a forum post?

Published on February 15th, 2015 by cman18

I think this plugin does this backwards.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-post-topics/

Looks like it has something to do with comments and forum posts not exactly what Im looking for.

The way Id like this to work is when I create a post on my blog, a forum post will created as well.

Thx

Nav Menu disappears upon installation of bbPress

Published on February 15th, 2015 by Kung Fu Designs

So, I’m creating a website, looking to have a nice forums section, And of course I install the bbPress plugin onto my wordpress site. Here’s the problem. Once I do this and activate the plugin my main navigation menu becomes erred out with the following error displaying:
“Warning: sprintf(): Too few arguments in /misc/39/000/056/879/2/user/web/hubhao.com/wp-includes/nav-menu-template.php on line 403”

So, when I disabled the plugin my main navigation menu went back to normal. What’s going on here? What can/should I look at to fix this issue?

Miniture Avatars are displayed too big in forums and new topics section

Published on February 14th, 2015 by --Q--Shadows

The title says it all.

The miniture avatars that appear in forum index or New Topics page along with the author are being displayed too big as shown in pics here – http://imgur.com/RsoPg6f & http://imgur.com/TY8qULe

However the image displays proper within any reply.

Would really appreciate if someone could solve this issue.

PS> I initially had this issue when using bbpress with WP User Avatar plugin, but then I removed it and went with BuddyPress and I still seem have the same issue.

Thankx in advance.

Regards.

A mysterious privacy text breaks my footer!

Published on February 14th, 2015 by SGMAX

Hi,
I’m using bbPress 2.5.4 on WP 4.1 with Time theme, and when I go to my forums root page a very annoying text suddenly stretches my footer mile long.
It goes like this: “At [website title], the privacy of our visitors is of extreme importance to us (See this article to learn more about Privacy Policies.). This privacy policy document outlines the types of personal information is received and collected by [website title] and how it is used.

Log Files

Like many other Web sites….”

How do I get rid of this? I went through all the settings, even checked my pages, found nothing whatsoever.
My footer has 3 columns with widgets, and a page widget (using it for a logo image only, no text) is being replaced with this damn text on the forums root page. All other pages display the correct widget. I retested it 3 times, this damn text replaces any “page” widget I add to my footer, and if I add multiple widgets with different pages in them, they all get replaced by the same text multiple times!
I never saw this text until I installed bbPress and went to the forums root page. I couldn’t find it in my database either so it must be in some files?

BBPress is very slow on my 750k post site

Published on February 14th, 2015 by DuncanMarshall

It seems this is a known issue for WordPress when ordering by meta query. BBPress does this to order by “last active” which is the default (and in my case, desired).

Loading a forum index, on my site, takes about 20 seconds.

Here is the offending SQL:

    [9] => Array
        (
            [0] => SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS  wp_posts.ID FROM wp_posts  INNER JOIN wp_postmeta ON (wp_posts.ID = wp_postmeta.post_id) WHERE 1=1  AND wp_posts.post_parent = 9  AND wp_posts.post_type = 'topic' AND (wp_posts.post_status = 'publish' OR wp_posts.post_status = 'closed' OR wp_posts.post_status = 'private' OR wp_posts.post_status = 'hidden') AND (wp_postmeta.meta_key = '_bbp_last_active_time' ) GROUP BY wp_posts.ID ORDER BY wp_postmeta.meta_value DESC LIMIT 0, 15
            [1] => 19.448324918747
            [2] => require('wp-blog-header.php'), require_once('wp-includes/template-loader.php'), apply_filters('template_include'), call_user_func_array, bbp_template_include, apply_filters('bbp_template_include'), call_user_func_array, bbp_template_include_theme_compat, BBP_Shortcodes->display_forum, bbp_get_template_part, bbp_locate_template, load_template, require('/themes/xx/bbpress/content-single-forum.php'), bbp_has_topics, WP_Query->__construct, WP_Query->query, WP_Query->get_posts
        )

There’s a ticket which seems to be addressing my problem here: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1925

Unless I’m misreading it, the upshot is “We should probably be using post_modified on the topic instead of a meta value for ‘last activity’, so as to avoid using the JOIN… but we haven’t yet”.

So how do other sites do it? This one, for instance? Or WordPress.org? They have more posts than I do, but have got around this issue somehow.

Any solution?

Thanks.

Private topics in Global Forum

Published on February 13th, 2015 by gatelli

Hi,
I posted this question in Buddypress forum but no answer so I try here.
In the ā€œDiscussion Forumsā€ WordPress-Page (Global Forum) only Admins can see the threads for Private Group Forums they are members in. Normal Users only see the threads from Public Groups, but not from Private Groups they are member in. They have to go to the group forum page to see threads.
Is there a way to see these private topics in Global Forum for group members ?
(I know there is no option for that, but I’d like to modify the core to add manually 2-3 user-IDs who are allowed to see ALL topics like an admin in the global forum, I just want to know which line/file I could modify )

Note: I didn’t activate the bbpress, I use buddypress forum.

Thank you.
