Hi,
According to the codex, only v4.x is supported (https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/importing-data/import-forums/)
Can you maybe first upgrade from your v3 to v4 ?

Hi,
This will be a tough one, but what tools are you using to have it in the 4 languages ?
Pascal.
Hi Bruce,
I can only point you in the direction, have not checked it out. You should check information on:
add_filter (‘bbp_reply_admin_links’, ‘my_admin_links’ ) ;
add_filter (‘bbp_topic_admin_links’, ‘my_topic_admin_links’ ) ;
Pascal.
Hi, a trac ticket is created and will hopefully be implemented in one of the next versions of bbPress. If you need this now, maybe this thread can inspire you: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/migrating-from-one-bbpress-installation-to-another/
Pascal.
If everything works on WordPress, but it’s really related to bbPress, then check out http://www.rewweb.co.uk/topic-subscribe/
Hi Torsten,
Did you try to create another admin, login with that one, then give your first user the keymaster rights ?
Pascal.
Hi, do you mean the color of the text ?
#bbpress-forums .bbp-topic-content p,
#bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-content p {
font-size: 12px;
color: #000000;
}

Hi,
If you talk about plain WordPress with bbPress installed on top of it, then both users and emails are handled by WordPress. Creation of a new user is a WordPress thing, not related to bbPress.
Do you get emails for normal things you do in WordPress ? Are you using any SMTP tool ? Are you sure emails do not arrive in your spam ?
If emails work for WordPress, then don’t forget that you will not receive an email for your own topics…
Pascal.
Then I’m out of options, sorry 🙁
If you are not doing any special things in your plugin, then in most of the cases it’s a plugin that is trying to do some ‘illegal’ stuff.
Please try to deactivate all plugins except bbPress and try.
Sorry for keeping you going…
Hi,
bbPress has a converter from vbulletin. You can install the latest stable bbPress 2.5.8 as a plugin to your WordPress and start the conversion. I would however like to indicate that bbPress 2.6-alpha (so not yet stable) is however much improved for conversions, so it could be an option to do it with that version.
You can find information on installing and importing in the codex: https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/
Hi,
Not sure if it will help, but I’m using bbP Private Groups to give access to certain people to certain forums…
Pascal.
In your admin panels, go to ‘Users > All Users’
Optional: At the top right, click ‘Screen Options’ and increase the number of items to e.g. 100.
Select the users you want to change, in the dropdown ‘Change forum role to…’ choose the role you want, then hit ‘Change’ just next to it.
Hope that helped.
Pascal.
For replies, see my previous reply but use ‘Replies > All Replies’ …
Hi,
So basically you want to cheat 🙂
Go to you admin panels and open ‘Topics > All Topics’. Edit one of the topics and you should find on the right a ‘Publish’ box where you can edit the date and time.
Pascal.
Hi,
Did you tick ‘Settings > Forums > Auto Role’ before starting the import ?
Some technical talk : The bbPress role is part of an array in the meta fields of a user. If Import users is using the normal way of creating a user, then setting the ‘Auto Role’ should be enough.
I know the plugin can import meta fields, but I only did that with strings, but no idea if it can ‘add’ to an existing array.
Pascal.
What theme do you use ? Can you confirm that you have the same issues in a standard WP theme ?
You don’t have any redirection plugins (like 404 Redirected) ?
How do you show your topics ? Using a shortcode ? Do you have multiple shortcodes on the same page ?
Pascal.
Hi,
As written above, I would propose to test with bbPress v2.6-alpha and see how it goes with the import. There should be no issues about the size of topics/replies you have. The import start on the first one and … just goes to the last one !
Pascal.
Great, hope you get fixed there.
Pascal.
Hi,
bbPress builds on top of WordPress. Any WordPress user that has at least ‘participant’ access can post on your forums.
So you need to make sure your users stay ‘clean’. I use wangguard for that and Theme My Login with a captcha so I’m rather sure that my users are real and they get checked if they would be sploggers or not. So you will need some extra plugins to safeguard, or you make sure that everybody is set ‘for approval’ so you can decide.
But this is a pure WordPress matter, not a bbPress one.
Pascal.
For importing, did you try to do it in test on bbPress 2.6-alpha (https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/bbpress.zip) ?
Importing has improved a lot in that version.
Pascal.
Hi,
You will have to follow the normal troubleshooting way to get out of this:
– Switch to a standard WP theme and see if that helps. If it does, ask the support of the theme author.
– Switch off all plugins, then see if it works, then switch them on one after the other.
