    With what you patched via #1835.diff that is the same as what was committed to /trunk in r4533 and is included in the upcoming bbPress 2.3.

    Write your own custom 404 page with whatever content/links etc and upload it to your web host as per instructions they should have on their site ‘somewhere’.

    @netweb

    Keymaster

    Its a custom 404 page offered by your web host, it has nothing to do with bbPress and/or WordPress. There should be an option in your hosting control panel to add/edit your own custom error page.

    Its a bit hard to see what changes you made… If you think others would benefit from this create a ticket in trac and add your code as a patch https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/

    1.) It doesn’t appear that any users where transfered. Every post in the forum has “Admin” as the author and I don’t see any users listed in the backend.

    Did you check the box `Convert Users: Attempt to import user accounts from previous forums`

    2.) I don’t see any of my subcategories listed on the forum home page. When I view the forum structure in the backend, it shows all the subcategories and the data was definitely imported, but it’s not showing up on the forum home page…

    Did you run the forum repair tools? https://codex.bbpress.org/repair-forums/

    Can you view each subcategory forum by viewing the forum in the backend and clicking ‘view’ on that item taking you to the frontend view for that forum? Does it exist?

    You should have access to the wp-admin panels when user role is ‘Keymaster’.

    The ‘Moderator’ role though outlined here only has the following permissions:

    Moderator – Forum Capabilities: publish_forums, edit_forums, read_private_forums, read_hidden_forums

    At this stage Moderators cannot see to wp-admin ‘Forums’ panel though it is planned for a future release.

    The workaround at the moment is to indeed use the ‘forum’ shortcodes.

    Have to you tried the bbPress Widgets?

    Keymaster

    Can you create a ticket in trac please: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/
    (Use the same bbpress.org user/pass to log in)

    It will be much easier for us to track this there rather than here.

    Also include as much information (Your URL structure for your site etc.) as you can and steps to reproduce the problem so we can setup the same to test it.

    What are the actual version numbers you are using?

    @netweb

    I tried to reproduce your issue but cannot, are you using any plugins that might cause this to be alter from the default WordPress 3.5.1 & bbPress 2.2.4/2.3 behaviour?

    Create a user `1 2 3` via WordPress /wp-login.php?action=register
    `ERROR: This username is invalid because it uses illegal characters. Please enter a valid username.`

    Create user `1 2 3` via bbPress widget/page template (page-user-register.php)
    `Registration complete. Please check your e-mail.`

    Confirmation email with username and password
    Username:`1 2 3`

    Via /wp-admin/user-edit.php user details are:
    Username: `1 2 3` Nickname: `1 2 3` Display Name:`1 2 3`

    Via phpMyAdmin `wp_users` database table:
    user_login:`1 2 3` user_nicename: `1-2-3`display_name:`1 2 3`

    To log in to bbPress using the either a page using the the page template page-user-login.php or the bbPress widget I must use the username `1 2 3`

    Bold and Italic are working fine here with bbPress, though bbPress does not have ‘underline’ as an option so I am not sure where that is coming from for you.

    Again try disabling all plugins and try it with the Twenty Eleven or Twenty Twelve themes.

    Sweet… Glad you got it sorted 🙂

    @netweb

    Contact your web host.

    @netweb

    Keymaster

    Yep… That seems to be the main issue, once you have the users in everything is fine…

    Let me know how it goes… At some stage this user issue needs fixing in the WordPress Importer.

    @netweb

    Keymaster

    What did you use for the ‘Table Prefix’?

    The default for bbPress 1.x is `bb_`

    You can find that either with phpMyAdmin or from bb-config.php in your bbPress install folder.

    `$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_’;`

    @netweb

    Are all the users being imported correctly?

    This has been the only real issue I have seen mentioned when using WXR… Once you get over ~100 users things just start getting nasty as there is no pagination for the users section.

    There are a few options to also help debug the issue

    https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-importer/other_notes/

    Set `define( ‘IMPORT_DEBUG’, false );` to true as noted here.

    I haven’t looked at the specifics of what is different in the ‘development version’ over 0.6 but from a quick look there has been some updates on WXR error checking.

    Did you intentionally misspell the title of your post? 🙂

    That said, this is not a bbPress issue, I think you will find it is an attachment plugin you’re using.

    What versions of WordPress & bbPress are you using?

    @netweb

    Details how to setup bbPress in your local language are here:

    Thanks for feedback @beggers, glad its worked for you 🙂

    The forum order is already fixed for upcoming bbPress 2.3 with lots of extra tweaks also… storing old phpBB user profile fields.. ‘all the BBCodes’ are converted bbPress HTML…

    This is fixed in the upcoming bbPress 2.3, you can download and test it from here

    In reply to: Best URL Structure ?

    @netweb

    Keymaster

    My apologies, but I went and looked at your site and I did not see a WordPress/bbPress all I saw was an ‘Ad Farm’ which I now presume was put there by your webhost Host Gator.

    It appears they have changed that now to just a ‘Landing Page’ that is far less spammy.

    Let me know once your site is back up and I will restore the links in your other posts.

    @netweb

    Congrats, the site looks good and looks like you finished the bbPress Arabic translations 🙂

    @netweb

    Keymaster

    The instructions are here: https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/

    That said I cannot see any Greek (el) translations for bbPress in GlotPress for the 2.2 or 2.3(dev) branches of bbPress https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress

    I suggest you try asking some of the Greek WordPress communities listed here:
    https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_in_Your_Language#Greek_.28el.29

    In particular on their forum http://wpmania.gr/forum/
    (You could also ask when they are planning on switching to bbPress ;))

    Good idea re: resyncing the database. I don’t think this DB was maintained properly and upgrading from phpbb 2.x to 3.0.11 may have introduced some errors.

    Does phpBB now have your “50K+” posts after the repair or still ~27K?

    Unfortunately, the outcomes were all the same. the import seemed to hang, although it did get further this time (converting forums 100 – 199)

    You only had ~10-15 phpBB forums when I looked earlier and it now looks like you have removed phpBB from your site so I can no longer confirm this.

    The last message you should have seen during the import ‘forums’ step should have been `(converting forums 0 – 99)` before it moved onto the next step `Calculating forum hierarchy (0 – 99)`.

    I used the stop/start suggestion, let it run for an hour, and it seemed that everything was imported.

    Why do you presume that? Did you see your 50K+ posts somewhere?

    Then when you go to view a forum or category or topic, and most of it is missing. Most recent posts were from 2004.

    I stated in my previous post any counts you see before running the repair tools will be inaccurate.

    This was before running any repairs. Running the repair functions depleted the counts further.

    I’ll reiterate this again, any counts you see before running the repair tools after the import is finished are inaccurate and should not be relied upon.

    The repair tools nor any part of bbPress will delete content from your WordPress database unless you explicitly do this via ‘forum reset’ or ‘purge previous import’.

    I’m not sure I can troubleshoot this in time for my client’s deadline but if further suggestions or upgrades come up, I’m game for trying them out in the future.

    At this stage yours is the ONLY phpBB forum that has NOT been successfully imported, there are virtually no future upgrades planned for the phpBB importer because they are not needed as it has thus far worked with every single phpBB import that I have been asked to test or help out with.

    The output of the converter should be similar to this (They should match your phpBB stats to the nearest 100)
    Did the import end up looking like this below? If not which step did it stop at?
    `
    Repair any missing information: Continue

    `

    As I stated in the comments of the review you posted for the bbPress plugin at WordPress.org I am more than happy to take a look and help you get it imported.

    If there is a bug with the importer and why your phpBB is not playing nice like all the other phpBB forum imports I can write a patch to fix it but I will need accurate detailed information from you to do this.

    Cheers,

    Stephen
