bbPress and Yootheme
-
Hi all I know this question has been asked many a time but nothing I try seems to work
I have a client who has an existing site that is hugely based around a bbPress forum
I have moved the forum and all users over using these plugins
Cimy User Manager
https://wordpress.org/plugins/cimy-user-manager/
First used Cimy so that when I imported the forums the correct users would be present to prevent author issues.bbPress Import / Export
https://github.com/pippinsplugins/bbPress-Export-and-Import
Next used this import export plugin only allows you to do one forum at a time and was hard to find the initial export spot (you have to go forum>”forum name”>On the right hand side under update it will be there). To import you must create the forum first and then in the same spot where you found the export button is the import buttonFound these fixes for the plugin on this forum post
Next I installed my theme
http://yootheme.com/demo/wordpress/frequencyThen I did this:
“copy the /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress folder into the /wp-content/themes/my-theme/ folder and then copying the files from /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/extras/ into the /wp-content/themes/my-theme/ folder”
So this fixed most of my major issues except a couple
First off every user profile page looks like this
http://screencast.com/t/26t9FgsH0maC
and doesnt populate with the correct information that can be seen on the current site
Every user you click comes to a profile page where there name is just profileThe other problem I have is how can I now style this page the transparent background isnt really a possibility with this theme
If anyone can help me out that would be great
Thanks
Worpress version: 4.3
bbPress version: 2.5.8

Okay I tested this theme again today and found some issues are actually in the bbPress plugin right now, but it is fixed in the latest dev version.
The user profile page being transparent is related to this bug listed here for theme compatibility.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2545
This is what the profile page and its sub pages looks like this with the modification in the bbPress plugin and without any WP Fix plugins, a custom bbpress.php, without transferring the bbPress templates into the theme.
There is also a possibility to fix the forum search, views listing, topic tag archive, moving replies, easily by either using archive and single for most of these bbPress pages to have better compatibility with these type frameworks. For example it might be best to use is_tax() for topic tag archives but using is_archive() will definitely work for most themes and theme frameworks.
Creating a bbpress.php is sort of a workaround for this. I do not have that much familiarality with the theme and framework that you have to know exactly how it needs to be to post anything to help with this quite yet.
I thought that guide would help you get most of the way there, since all you would need to change is the urls of your site, but I guess you are just transferring basically from bbPress to bbPress.
Something like this would definitely help in your case though.

I guess you can try Exporting and Importing through the regular WordPress tools provided in the Tools section. I tried just exporting all the bbPress post types Forums, Topics, Replies, then run the repair tools, but that did not help and kind of messed up my test site. You can try that, maybe using ALL content instead or not running the repair tools though I recommend using a test server/local development area first.
