thanks for the plugin info, installed it and it looks interesting… however the breadcrumb section doesn’t do what i want…. i want the main forum page, the page you land on when you click the forum link in the navbar, to read “index” not “forums”, the plugin will change the breadcrumb to “index” but not main forum page title…this seems like such an easy task, for example in phpbb it’s a snap… i googled it and came up with folks asking about the same thing here over 4 years ago, and they solved it having to manually edit php files… 4 years later and no easy dashboard option for this?
btw is bbpress still an active/popular plugin? it seems that you’re the only one around trying to field questions… and i appreciate it…
thanks robin… yes i would really like to sort this thing out, to have my phpbb usernames associated with their posts, the posts that were imported using bbpress, instead of “anonymous” showing as the poster for every single post… in fact i can’t find any evidence that usernames were transferred at all, pretty disappointing…
can anyone help me with my above questions?
i don’t understand the reply “can you help here”?
outstanding, thanks very much!
thanks for the replies… i’ve purchased and installed the “socialize” theme that seems to be designed to work well with bbpress and buddypress, so far i’m having fun playing with the endless options, albeit there certainly is a learning curve to the whole wp/bbpress/buddypress/theme thing…
i have a quick question tho about the url paths, the slugs i think they’re called…
1. when i navigate to the forum section using the home page forum link i see this in the address bar:
http://www.website.com/forums/
2. when i click a forum listed in one of the categories i see this in the address bar:
http://www.website.com/forums/forum/category name/forum name/
and when i click on a topic in the forum list is see:
3. http://test.website.com/forums/topic/topic name/
why does “forum” show after “forums” in the second example? why not:
http://www.website.com/forums/category name/forum name/
where’s my post? didn’t show up so i tried to post it again, got a “slow down” error message and a “duplicate post” error message, 20 minutes later it’s still not showing up?
edit: yet this post appears just fine… hmmm…
thank you all for the helpful responses… when i fist tried to import data i didn’t notice the manual section, just the pre-installed import icons/tools that didn’t include phpbb… anyway i went through the process after installing 2.6 and all went pretty well except that user names didn’t seem to make it, all of the posts show “anonymous” as the poster, would really like to figure out how to restore the actual username… also, avatars didn’t make it over either but that limitation was noted in the tutorial, so i expected it… so how do folks go about restoring user avatars? and. more importantly, how do you get user names to appear instead of anonymous”? the repair feature didn’t solve this…
1. the info in the red box looks odd, “index” is the name of the parent directory/forum, don’t want the name “index” to appear in this area, also “anonymous” (given usernames weren’t transferred) should appear in this area, no? after “by”?
2. here you can see that “anonymous” has been entered for all members rather than their actual member names, how do i fix this? also, is there a way to get the same info below the avatar that shows in this forum, the bbpress forum, to show in my forum? is this a plugin? and finally, how do i move the post date from a row above the topic to below the avatar? thanks.
