How to link to Topics, Replies, Subscriptions?

Published on December 5th, 2022 by kstormstudio

Im using the last bbPress version, and twenty-twenty theme. All fine!
But I need to integrate bbpress with woocommerce in a custom woocommerce dashboard we made, so basically I have to link all bbpress profile links (Topic created, Replies, Engagement…) as Woocommerce Endpoints.

All set up but the problem is the links not showng the correct user information but : “Oh Bother, no topics found here!”. Despite the user has created topics , followed or subscribed.

This is the code I put for the Subscription Endpoint for instance:

add_action( 'init', 'wpsh_subscriptions_endpoint' );
function wpsh_subscriptions_endpoint() {
	add_rewrite_endpoint( 'subscriptions', EP_ROOT | EP_PAGES );
}
add_action( 'woocommerce_account_subscriptions_endpoint', 'subscriptions_endpoint_content' );
function subscriptions_endpoint_content() {
	include get_theme_file_path( '/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/user-subscriptions.php' );
}

so, any suggestions please? 🙂

Topic Count

Published on December 5th, 2022 by bobjgarrett

Having imported thousands of topics from another system the topic count was incorrect for one of my forums.
I tried the Repair Forums tool to correct this but it made no difference.
I then edited the postmeta table for the relevant forum setting _bbp_topic_count and _bbp_total_topic_count to the correct topic number. This worked in that the forum then showed the correct number.
However, when I then deleted a post (which had been a test topic) the number went back down to only counting those that were actually added rather than those imported.
So the numbering system is clearly more complex than I thought.
Can anyone advise how to get the right number to be there and be updated correctly?

Default Installation and Theme

Published on December 3rd, 2022 by jason_hayes

How do I create the basic installation so that it looks like the screenshot on the homepage. I just want a basic bbpress installation out of the box. Not sure how to do it. Do I need to create a specific homepage and add widgets?

Forum lists show fine, but not topic details – need help

Published on December 1st, 2022 by jaymaddireddy

Good afternoon,
I installed bbpress successfully and created a few forum entries.
also added a few test topics.

It displays fine: https://www.dealtimer.com/forums
Also, it displays one of the forum entries with a list of topics fine at
https://www.dealtimer.com/forums/forum/auto-dealer-csi-boosting-ideas
However, when I click one of the topics, it shows a content area blank below the header…
I changed the theme, and it works fine to show topic details and reply..
I even added a single page with a shortcode to display the topic, thinking that the CSS conflicts, it shows fine at https://www.dealtimer.com/single-topic-page.html
However, from the list of topics to browse the topic content, it fails.
When I looked at it, it even called content-single-topic.php code, however, I do not see bbp-container content being supplied to add a topic information page…

Do you have any idea about debugging this problem?
Thank you in advance for your help,

Jay M

Pagination using shortcodes

Published on December 1st, 2022 by bobjgarrett

I am using WordPress 6.1.1 and bbPress 2.6.9.
I have a forum where if I use the standard forum page e.g. mysite.com/forum/members-forum there are no problems and pagination of the large number of topics works correctly producing a URL of say mysite.com/forum/members-forum/page/3/
However, I wish to have a page with some other content at the to so are using a short-code to list the forum topics. The URL for that page is mysite.com/members-forum. However, on this page pagination does not work. The URL for the third page is mysite.com/members-forum/page/3/ but this produces an error 404.
I have tried various solutions found from others having a similar problem including: using a standard theme, resaving the permalink setting, adding a bp-custom.php file with some code in it etc. but it still fails.
Can anyone suggest a solution?

How to delete spam messages in bulk when server won’t let you

Published on November 30th, 2022 by appleguideweb

I have had bbPress installed on my website for sometime. However, without me realizing it, thousands of spam comments and messages have been posted on the few forums I have made. I had thought that Akismet was supposed to be cleaning things up, but I guess not. Now, it’s gotten to the point that my WordPress database has ballooned to over 8GB and my hosting provider wants me to fix it or they will take my site down.

That being said I have been trying to find a solution and thus far have come up empty handed. The problem is no matter how hard I try to delete the comments, both from the bbPress plugin on WP-Admin or by deleting the records from myPHPAdmin, the server locks up and the task cancels. I guess the server is not powerful enough for such a task. So, I downloaded a copy of the database to my local machine to try editing it there, and in this case I can’t find an app that can open .sql files and when I do there isn’t enough memory to open it.

Are there any other solutions? Is there a way to shrink the SQL database before opening it? How about splicing it into smaller batches? Is there a specific app, preferably free, that does a better job at managing large SQL databases?

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
