In reply to: [Like And Who Likes] Placement of like buttonI was able to move the position of the like button itself into the reply content by changing around some code. I’m not a code shark but I gave it an attempt that turned successful.
I changed:
if ( $settings->show_in_bbp_post ) { add_filter( 'bbp_topic_admin_links', [ $this, 'add_likes_to_bbp_posts' ], 10, 2 ); add_action( 'bbp_reply_admin_links', [ $this, 'add_likes_to_bbp_posts' ], 10, 2 ); add_action( 'bbp_theme_before_reply_content', [ $this, 'add_likes_to_bbp_posts' ] );to:
add_filter( 'bbp_topic_content', [ $this, 'add_likes_to_bbp_posts' ] ); add_filter( 'bbp_reply_content', [ $this, 'add_likes_to_bbp_posts' ] ); add_action( 'bbp_theme_before_reply_content', [ $this, 'add_likes_to_bbp_posts' ] );and then changed the output for function add_likes_to_bbp_posts:
from:public function add_likes_to_bbp_posts( $links = null, $reply_id = null ) { $this->component = self::BBP_POST; $id = bbp_get_reply_id(); $liked_users = $this->get_likes( $id ); if ( current_filter() == 'bbp_theme_before_reply_content' ) { echo $this->who_likes_list( $id, $liked_users ); } else { $links['like'] = $this->like_button( $id, $liked_users ); return $links; }}to:
public function add_likes_to_bbp_posts( $content ) { $this->component = self::BBP_POST; $id = bbp_get_reply_id(); $liked_users = $this->get_likes( $id ); echo $this->like_button( $id, $liked_users ); echo $this->who_likes_list( $id, $liked_users ); return $content; }Seems to still be working fine and the like button is right above the users liked, inside at the top of the reply/post.

In reply to: Troubleshooting slow site.Hi,
I simply used CSS to hide the name. But, if you wanted to dive into the template files of buddypress core, you can find where the names are generated from in the php files and remove that line so that it really does not generate the name. However, that is editing the template files. So any time you have a buddypress update, it could potentially override that line.
I personally edit the template files and keep a backup of them in a remote location. So that I can update the plugin and then instantly FTP the backup files that I made edits to almost simultaneously, so that it instantly brings it back to how it was with the edited file after the update.
With CSS, all I do is display:none; on the name. However you can still see the name if you know how to view the page source or inspect the element with a code editor.
If you need more help feel free to ask.

In reply to: [bbPress Advanced Statistics] Limit the amount of users displayedHi Jake,
Thank you for the update! Sorry I didn’t respond sooner! I did get the chance to use both the beta and I have now updated to the new version.
I have it setup now using the members link with 25 active within the last hour showing and the rest linking to members page. This works really nicely! It really cleans up that bottom part from displaying all of those usernames as well.
Thank you for the link back to the website! That is much appreciated!
And also thank you so much for the update! You have done some really amazing work with this plugin!
Thank you,

In reply to: [bbPress Advanced Statistics] Limit the amount of users displayedHey Jake,
Sounds good. I agree with the multiple queries though. The less the better. You know, making one query to a database isn’t bad. However having multiple plugins (which most bbpress users do have..) requires more connections to the database on page load. So while yours may only be one, that forum has several other plugins installed which also make a connection. You have to have this though, otherwise you wouldn’t be able to grab the data which I totally understand. So grabbing it once instead of 2 or more is the better option.
It’s especially taxing on a larger database over 700mb. It’s more susceptible to getting the famous database connection error, with each load and query added. If the hidden data and the shown data is only being called one time for either options, that is probably okay as well. I didn’t know if it was possible to turn off one section without it making a query while the other section was activated. But since you said it uses one query, that makes sense.
I guess if hiding it is the only solution without using more queries than that’s fine as well. I do have quite a bit of items hidden anyways.
Let me know! I look forward to checking it out! I do use a test website as well to test out everything before pushing plugins/updates to the live site to prevent any downtime.

In reply to: [bbPress Advanced Statistics] Limit the amount of users displayedHey,
Yes… I realized you might be able to see it there after I made the post. haha!
Regarding posting the forum on your plugin page, sure! It isn’t the greatest content in the forum posts in the world but it really looks nice and functions well and has quite a bit of traffic daily, so it is a great example to use. So if you don’t mind the bad content aspect of it, than absolutely you can feature it!
I really look forward to seeing the updates that you come up with! Glad I could provide some more options for you to look into for expansion! Like I said I’m happy that I even have that ability to show the member stats on the site and it functions correctly. so I’m grateful for that alone. haha! Good job on the plugin and thank you for responding! I look forward to seeing updates!
Thank you,

In reply to: [bbPress Advanced Statistics] Limit the amount of users displayedHi Jake,
You can see the forums it is installed on without me providing a link to the forums? Interesting… That is cool if you can! I didn’t know that.. Well, Thank you! Yes very very busy forum. There is a lot of custom built items and plugins that help power this monster. haha!
I noticed on a few other forums that I’ve seen around, they have a latest member section as well. But they have it setup so that you only see 10 or 15 what ever number you choose and then a link or button that goes over to a page showing a full list. The full list shows last online time, username and pagination of users currently online. I know this is quite a lot more options than what you currently have and I am not asking you to go out of your way to add any of these capabilities. I am just following up on what I see in other forums, which I have never seen the capability of even showing that info over here until using your plugin, which is great!
For the time being yes, I have set the forum to show in the last hour which generally keeps the numbers around 400-700 showing in the last hour. I’ve also moved it out of the sidebar and put it on the main forum page only and then styled it up a bit to match. So it only shows on the home forum page instead of loading every page and for every user. To take a bit of load off of the database and mysql as well. Which that seems to work a bit better on displaying them to because they have the full span of the content section instead of a smaller width sidebar.
I thought about just wrapping your code up in a div with a class and then wrapping each section of the plugin (But I’m not a plugin expert) so that yes, I could hide that section. But then I also thought, if I hide that section with css like display:none; Essentially it’s still loading all of that data for all of those users so it’s a waste not to display it really. haha!

In reply to: Troubleshooting slow site.Seems that way even during the day time as well. That was the bulk of the issue I’m guessing. I haven’t gotten engintron to install correctly even following the install instructions It won’t install for some reason I get:
Resolving raw.githubusercontent.com... XX.XXX.39.133 Connecting to raw.githubusercontent.com|XX.XXX.39.133|:443... connected. HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK Length: 20305 (20K) [application/octet-stream] engintron.sh: Permission denied Cannot write to “engintron.sh” (Success).So I can’t post back any results on that yet. However it does look very useful and it looks like it could really help. I wish I could get it to work correctly.

In reply to: Troubleshooting slow site.I took this information to my host. They did some more tests. They said cpu looked normal.
“it appears that you would only have 8 http requests workers. Did you happen to set this to 8?”
“Me: No, I didn’t.”
“Would explain the slow connecting to the server, if all 8 requests are full in someone trying to access the site, apache says HEY wait get in line, I can only listen to 8 at once.”
” Increased your apache listener workers.”
” It should have been set to default, which would be 150 atleast, but it would have been set to 8″
“The only other thing I would be able to suggest would be something like. Engintron”
Seems that increasing the apache listener did help improve the initial load time and proceeded to load the rest of the page a bit quicker.
I am going to be installing the engintron next and see if that helps anymore. I will report back with results.
Thank you for your help! It has helped narrow down problems for the host.

In reply to: Troubleshooting slow site.Does this matter if it’s on the live site or not? Currently almost impossible to get into without using ftp and waiting a few minutes for the page to reload.
My production site is running the same theme, same settings and same plugins. Only difference is the amount of users and traffic obviously. I threw it on there to see what it did first..
The results:
Memory used: 11,272,192 bytes.
Peak Memory used: 11,272,192 bytes.But what does that show.. I understand that it’s showing how much each one hit is using roughly… But any advice on how to fix that? Removing plugins, fixing my theme somehow… Is that a lot? I don’t know what to do with that information really. Like I said I’m not a developer so this is strange territory for me and I’m learning as I go. Thank you for the help and reply!
