certainly, it is:

add_filter( 'generate_get_the_title_parameters', function( $params ){
	if ( bbp_is_forum_archive() ) {
        $params = array(
            'before' => sprintf(
                '<h2 class="entry-title"%s">',
                'microdata' === generate_get_schema_type() ? ' itemprop="headline"' : ''
            ),
            'after' => '</h2>',
        );  
    }
    return $params;
},10,1 );

[@budget101 Participant 2 years, 10 months ago]

Got it with a few tweaks, thanks so much for your help Robin, I greatly appreciate it.

[@budget101 Participant 2 years, 10 months ago]

Method 2
WP Page: Named Community
Slug Name: Community
Code within the page: [bbp-forum-index]

also, I forgot to include the function, here’s the full code that calls the issue:

function generate_get_the_title_parameters() {

if ( ! is_singular() ) {
		$params = array(
			'before' => sprintf(
				'<h2 class="entry-title"%2$s><a href="%1$s" rel="bookmark">',
				esc_url( get_permalink() ),
				'microdata' === generate_get_schema_type() ? ' itemprop="headline"' : ''
			),
			'after' => '</a></h2>',
		);
	}

	return apply_filters( 'generate_get_the_title_parameters', $params );
}

[@budget101 Participant 2 years, 10 months ago]

Thank you for that Robin, I was able to find it in the theme coding based on your assistance.

	if ( ! is_singular() ) {
		$params = array(
			'before' => sprintf(
				'<h2 class="entry-title"%2$s><a href="%1$s" rel="bookmark">',
				esc_url( get_permalink() ),
				'microdata' === generate_get_schema_type() ? ' itemprop="headline"' : ''
			),
			'after' => '</a></h2>',
		);
	}

Do you know how I could exclude the forum link from this?

[@budget101 Participant 2 years, 10 months ago]

I just created a new forum as a test, (called “test”) and when I did, the “Community” header just changed links, now it links to the Test forum. I’d like to remove the link entirely.

[@budget101 Participant 2 years, 10 months ago]

Sorry, so on that main forum index page, the Header, “Community” becomes a clickable link to the last created forum in the site.

My question, is, where/what template would insert this as a link? and why did it pick the latest forum created…

[@budget101 Participant 2 years, 10 months ago]

Thank you for your reply, I just got it a few minutes ago by copying files into the loop-forums.php

I do have one other weird issue- The header “Community” is linked to a particular forum and I can’t seem to figure out how or why.

Any ideas why it’s randomly pulling the last forum created as a link?

[@budget101 Participant 2 years, 10 months ago]

@robin I am experiencing the exact same issue, even when using ?ao_noptimize=1 to shut off Autoptimize for testing.

I also use GeneratePress (pro), and bbpress with bbpstylepack .

The individual forums show perfectly, but the index is very broken and missing proper styling.

The issue can be seen here https://www.budget101.com/community/

[@budget101 Participant 3 years, 5 months ago]

@Joedolson –

This is a fix that should really be implemented. I would have noted it sooner if I’d realized that the work I did that many years ago was unused.

They half-ass applied it, several of the templates were edited, and some areas still need to be commented out or removed entirely.

src/includes/forums/template.php

line #2491 (used to be)
<select name="<?php echo esc_attr( $r['select_id'] ) ?>" id="<?php echo esc_attr( $r['select_id'] ) ?>_select"<?php echo $tab; ?>>

except now the line is #2393 and has become:
<select name="<?php echo esc_attr( $r['select_id'] ) ?>" id="<?php echo esc_attr( $r['select_id'] ) ?>_select" class="<?php echo esc_attr( $r['select_class'] ); ?>"<?php bbp_tab_index_attribute( $r['tab'] ); ?>>

so – which part do we remove? see also line #2479 (same code)

[@budget101 Participant 5 years, 8 months ago]

Edit your Robots.txt file and add the following:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /search?*
Disallow: /search/*

[@budget101 Participant 5 years, 8 months ago]

@lucio – I had the same issue, I wanted my topic list to appear above my subforums, here is the easy fix.

go to> wp-content>plugins>bbpress>templates>default>bbpress

Find content-single-forum.php

select lines 28-32:

		<?php if ( bbp_has_forums() ) : ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'forums' ); ?>

		<?php endif; ?>

Find these lines:

		<?php if ( bbp_has_forums() ) : ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'forums' ); ?>

		<?php endif; ?>

Paste the 3 lines selected above UNDERNEATH those lines (Line #50)

[@budget101 Participant 5 years, 8 months ago]

I’d like to move this as well, some of the subforum listings are so long that people don’t scroll to the bottom to see the topics.

I’d like it to show:

Forum Name:
Topics:
Then Subforum list

[@budget101 Participant 5 years, 11 months ago]

Actually, this one works much better & doesn’t interfere if you have multiple tabs running at once:

[@budget101 Participant 5 years, 11 months ago]

The import is still occuring, and I know with 1.8 million posts it will take while. It already converted users and topics. Now it is creating a series of dashed lines. ———————-

I too experienced this issue, basically your wp-admin becomes stale and logs you out or kills your connection. Install a refresher in your browser, such as this one:

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/page-refresh/hmooaemjmediafeacjplpbpenjnpcneg/related?hl=en

then open a DIFFERENT page for your wp-admin (NOT the one doing the importing!) and set it to fresh every 3 minutes (alter the length depending on your own needs). This keeps WP from logging you out or killing the DB connection and lets it continue running throughout the day/night without needing to babysit it.

[@budget101 Participant 5 years, 11 months ago]

The order should be (I think):

Users
Forums
Topics
Tags
Replies

Agreed, this is necessary for large imports, I initially had a database of 110K+ users and 2.2 million posts/topics, which after 13 days of importing I decided to prune before attempting again.

In theory, you could rearrange these yourself by altering the wp-content>plugins>bbpress>includes>admin>converter.php file and changing the order of the steps. I actually thing the tags are the least important step for my site & the one that caused the most headache/issues while importing, so I made that step the LAST step.

I was importing from my Vbulletin 4 and it went through converting topics, then it started converting tags and hung about 12,900. Is this a known bug? What’s the best way to do this over without losing the imported content and without taking risks of missing content not being imported initially on the hang up?

I’m a day late and a dollar short, but I thought I’d answer this for anyone else experiencing a similar issue.

vB4 tables originally used latin1_swedish_ci Collation, so when they’re imported certain characters don’t import properly causing the import to hang.

If the bbpress converter hangs up you can see what the last query was running. go to your WordPress MySQL Database:

Find the wp_options table (note that your table prefix may be different)

1. Shut off the importer (hit the STOP Button)
2. Go to the wp_options table & do a search for %converter% – it will return 3 tables

  a. _bbp_converter_query
  b. _bbp_converter_start
  c. _bbp_converter_step

Select both _bbp_converter_start AND _bbp_converter_query and click edit. Look to see where the tags got hung up in the option value field-

(here’s an example from my own database):

SELECT convert(tagcontent.contentid USING "utf8mb4") AS contentid,convert(tagcontent.tagid USING 
"utf8mb4") AS tagid,convert(tag.tagtext USING "utf8mb4") AS tagtext FROM tagcontent AS tagcontent INNER JOIN tag AS tag USING (tagid) LIMIT 2750, 50

In this case, it’s getting hung while imported tags 2750, 50 rows at a time.

change the values to the next bracket (but don’t alter any other data in the fields,:

_bbp_converter_start  2800
_bbp_converter_query 2800

and hit save

so now the option_value of the _bbp_converter_query looks like this:

SELECT convert(tagcontent.contentid USING "utf8mb4") AS contentid,convert(tagcontent.tagid USING 
"utf8mb4") AS tagid,convert(tag.tagtext USING "utf8mb4") AS tagtext FROM tagcontent AS tagcontent INNER JOIN tag AS tag USING (tagid) LIMIT 2800, 100

(note the new LIMIT number)

Then hit the START button on your Converter. IF, for some odd reason it doesn’t automatically restart, don’t freak out. Just hit the STOP button again, open a new page for the import

http://YOURDOMAINHERE.com/wp-admin/tools.php?page=bbp-converter

Re-enter your data, with the rows limit at 100, delay time the same as before & convert users STILL

Checked (if it was to begin with) DO NOT CHECK START OVER or PREVIOUS IMPORT.

Hit START and it will pick up where it left off.

Alternatively, you can
2. remove the offending tags from vbulletin –> /admincp/tag.php there are 45 per pg
3. update thread counters
4. Start the importer, see if it updates
5. If so- you’re all set *until next time* (and there WILL be a Next time!)

[@budget101 Participant 5 years, 11 months ago]

When it hangs it says something like: Importing Discussions (x-y) then all of a sudden it just prints “-” every 5 seconds or so and nothing is being imported,

Unfortunately this reply comes far too late to help the OP, but hopefully, this will help someone else down the road.

First, before you begin your transfer of vBulletin, add the following lines to the top of your wp-config.php just below <?php

define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false );

This will create a debug log of any errors you encounter, you can access the log by visiting
https://YOURDOMAINHERE.com/wp-content/debug.log

keep in mind that if your wp install is within another folder, you’ll have to alter the path in the url to access the log.

Next, once you’ve encountered an error, check your debug log, if the error isn’t listed, you can go to your MySQL tables.

Hit STOP on the Importer. (Don’t navigate from the page, just hit the stop button).
Go to the wp_options table (might be slightly different prefix depending on your own database settings) and do a search for %converter%

You will find 3 rows within the wp_options table

a. _bbp_converter_query
b. _bbp_converter_start
c. _bbp_converter_step

The Step will show you which step # your install is hung up on. The Converter query will tell you precisely which line and the start is what tells the bbp_converter where you last left off.

View the steps in your wp-content>plugins>bbpress>includes>admin>converter.php file

Step 1 (about line 339)
Step 2 about line 360, etc

Most often the issue is due to character collation.

Thank you for the fix, It’s appreciated.

Oops! I think that’s the original WP code itself. Anyway, I found another code to fix in bbPress. Pls let me know if I should post it.

This goes without saying, you should ALWAYS share a fix, you never know who’s going to be searching for it, sometimes YEARS after you find it.
