I have created a ticket in trac http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2074
If you could keep all bugs and/or feedback posted to this ticket (‘tracs’ everything in one place)
This has only beeen tested using Simple Press 5.1.4
To install download the SimplePress5.php file and upload it to bbPress in the folder /wp-content/plugins/includes/admin/converters/
Basic instructions on using any of the import tools are here (will to get these updated soon)

I was doing the odd tweak and bug fix with the ‘other’ importers for bbPress and whilst at it I decided to have a go at Simple Press 5.1.4, I’ll upload it tomorrow (just need to test a couple more bits first) and if you could give it some testing that would be greatly appreciated.
I cannot reproduce this, what versions of bbPress & WordPress are you using?
What are the permalinks?
- ‘TEST’ /forum/test/
- ‘FORUM’ /forum/test/forum/
Currently there is no way to ‘bulk merge’ topics from one forum into another forum.
You can edit individual topics to move them to another forum though.
I hope this is what you are looking for:
Open your WordPress dashboard and go to ‘Appearance’ -> ‘Menus’ and under ‘Custom Links’ add a link to your forums eg. http://example.com/forums with a label ‘forums’ and click ‘Save Menu’
Thanks Michael, this will be fixed in the next release.

@HistoryHouse The codex document you linked to is for the old ‘legacy standalone’ version of bbPress, not the new plugin version.
This is what you are looking for (I think) http://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/
Thanks, could you please submit a new ticket over in trac with some details of your multisite setup and steps to reproduce this.

Ooops! My bad. you will see the new ‘Change forum role to…’ feature once WordPress 3.5 is released.
Glad you got it sorted though.
You should only see the ‘forum creator’ in the backend /wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=forum
In the ‘frontend’ eg your /forums/ page you should only see something like this:
Forum Topics Replies Freshness
Forum Name 0 0 No Topics
Once the forum has topics the counts will update and ‘freshness’ will have the elapsed time and author name.
There currently is not a ‘native’ Simple:Press import tool for bbPress 2.x
If you are comfortable with databases you could try ‘rolling your own’ by modifying the ‘example reference template’ for the bbPress 2.x import tool. You just need to match the correct database tables and field names in the ‘from’ sections of the template. The file is called ‘example.php’ and is located in /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/converters/
Also there is this topic thread that a few have had success with converting Simple:Press to bbPress http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/v2-simple-press-importer-and-first-thoughts/
From /wp-admin/users.php
- Select each of user or users whose forum role you want to change
- From the ‘Change forum role to…’ dropdown at the top of the page select the new role
- Click ‘Change’
Use the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode http://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/
I know PageLines released an updated compat plugin for bbPress 2.2, what version that actually is I am not sure as it doesn’t appear publicly (from what I can see).
http://www.pagelines.com/store/plugins/pagelines-bbpress/
http://www.pagelines.com/forum/topic/23459-bbpress-22-crash/page__hl__bbpress#entry137455
Make sure you are running WordPress 3.4.2 and bbPress 2.2.2 and the latest updates from PageLines , if you are still not seeing any content I would ask PageLines support to look into it further.
Basically all these functions names need to be unique…
If you use the above from @JJJ with ‘foo’ and then you use another function from another topic called ‘bar’ and then use a third again called ‘foo’ you will now have a conflict because two custom functions are trying to use ‘foo’.
A common practice is to name the functions with something to remind yourself (or others reading your code) that it is custom code you have added to your install.
eg. Prefixing ‘foo’ with ‘hd_’ for ‘Halo Diehard’
function hd_foo( $args = array() ) {
$args['teeny'] = false;
return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'hd_foo' );
Better yet, a more descriptive name again with ‘hd_’ Halo Diehard prefix.
function hd_custom_teeny_mce_override( $args = array() ) {
$args['teeny'] = false;
return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'hd_custom_teeny_mce_override' );
Here are the steps I would follow:
- Backup everything and often (WordPress, Xooops, MySQL etc)
- Install WordPress locally to test the import
- Research the Xoops MySQL database structure
- Make a copy of importer example.php as xoops.php in the same folder
- Edit xoops.php to match the xoops database table & field names
eg. This from Example.php:
// Forum id. Stored in postmeta.
$this->field_map[] = array(
'from_tablename' => 'forum',
'from_fieldname' => 'forumid',
'to_type' => 'forum',
'to_fieldname' => '_bbp_forum_id'
);
Would become:
// Forum id. Stored in postmeta.
$this->field_map[] = array(
'from_tablename' => 'xoops_forum_table_name',
'from_fieldname' => 'xoops_forumid',
'to_type' => 'forum',
'to_fieldname' => '_bbp_forum_id'
);
The above is not accurate as I have no idea what table and field names xoops uses for its database, that is the bits you need to research. Do the above for as much as you can matching all the tables and fields testing your import.
Once you have an import working and are happy with you can then look to importing it to your live site and I cannot emphasize this enough, backuyp, backup and more backups in case things go wrong.
bbPress 2.x includes a conversion tool to import forums/topics/replies/users from some of the popular forum packages eg. bbPress or phpBB
There is an ‘example’ file also included as a ‘reference template’ that if your forum software is using a SQL database then you could easily modify this to be a custom importer by matching the correct database tables/fields etc
The file is called ‘example.php’ and is located in /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-admin/converters
Make sure you select ‘phpBB’ with the ‘import forums tool’ option ‘Select Platform’
Check out the brief docs here http://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/
The import works pretty well for the base of phpBB migration for users, forums, topics & replies.
Take a look around at http://www.ratsclan.com, this site is just WordPress and bbPress and as far as I can tell nothing in the ‘core’ of either bbPress or WordPress has been hacked.
It is a pretty good showcase site showing what can be done without killing kittens…
Profile Shortcode? No such thing? http://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/ Maybe there should be?
