In reply to: Strange import failure – loop!
Some progress at least which is a good thing…
The WordPress import has an option import_allow_create_users: return false if you only want to allow mapping to existing users and I think that should work for you to fix the mappings.
Details are here: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-importer/other_notes/
In reply to: Strange import failure – loop!I would look updating whatever it is holding you back from upgrading to WordPress 3.5.1 for the security fixes 3.4 & 3.5 have introduced at a bare minimum.
That said give it a try on a test site and if that works use the builtin WordPress Import/Export tool to export all the forums, topics & replies and then import them https://codex.wordpress.org/Importing_Content#WordPress
In reply to: Preventing name changesHave you looked in the WordPress Plugin Directory for something to do what you are after?
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/
bbPress uses WordPress to maintain/manage users and usernames etc so there might just be something that suits your needs. I am not sure if any would be compatible with the bbPress front end profile editor but it might be worth a shot. (eg https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/chevymanusa/edit/ )
Its not as fully featured as what you are looking for though it is a start the ‘bbPress Post Ratings’ as discussed here https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/introducing-plugins-for-quotes-ratings-and-unread-posts/
We would definitely make sure the bbPress tools would support maintaining ‘BuddyPress Group Relationships’ and #2089 might even end up defining which direction is taken.
It could also be done in bbPress as a ‘Moderation Tool’ to bulk move topics/replies that includes BuddyPress Groups support which is already planned for future bbPress Moderation Tools.
Hmmm… Another request for this feature…
I’m still not familiar enough with BuddyPress to decide where this should be implemented, that said though wouldn’t this be more of a BuddyPress enhancement:
…when creating a new group have the option to create a new forum or select an existing forum…In reply to: Change Topic Hover ColorThanks for the link but if your site is password protected we can’t look at it can we?
In reply to: Please help meJust remembered you also need ‘bbPress for Pagelines’
In reply to: Strange import failure – loop!What version of WordPress are you using?
In reply to: Jalali date for bbPressI would try contact someone from the http://wp-persian.com/ project or posting on the forums http://forum.wp-persian.com/, you can also try the plugin author directly https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-jalali
In reply to: Change Topic Hover ColorA link to your site will make this much easier to find the solution.
In reply to: Links to existing content not workingThis could be an issue with your rewrite rules. To fix this try resetting your permalinks. In your WordPress Administration Screens navigate to Settings > Permalinks, select a different permalink structure and save. Then select your preferred permalink structure and save again.
In reply to: bbPress Registration TabI see you have a ‘register’ and ‘login’ page using the shortcodes, if you want something in the sidebar you could use the login widget https://codex.bbpress.org/widgets/
In reply to: Please help meIf this is a new WordPress site and a new forum you should be using bbPress 2.2.4 plugin
In reply to: Sticky a Forum PostSee the docs here https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started-with-bbpress/#adding-a-topic
In reply to: Arranging Forum OrderSee the docs on ‘Creating your First Forum’ here and you set the order from withion the WordPress Admini Forum Panel.

In reply to: Strange import failure – loop!Can you run through these steps:
- Make sure you are using WordPress 3.5.1 & bbPress 2.2.4
- Run each of the bbPress 1.x recount tools /bbpress1/bb-admin/tools-recount.php
- Perform a forum reset on your bbPress 2.x /wp-admin/tools.php?page=bbp-reset
- Start a fresh import with the ‘Start Over’ option checked
The “Purge all information from a previously attempted import” is a known issue and it will run endlessly if the `bbp_converter_translator` table is empty and has nothing to purge or it cannot find the table. It is a bit funky but does not affect the actual import as there are other fallbacks in place if it cannot use this table. If you have to start over performing a ‘forum reset’ this does basically the same thing so in between import tries doing a forum reset ensures bbPress 2.x has no forums, topics or replies before you start your import.
In reply to: WordPress XML Import – Too many usersAll this is handled by the WP plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-importer/
Typically a WordPress site would not have ~3,700 authors…
I would suggest posting on https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpress-importer and see what feedback you get and we can go from there.
In reply to: Shortcodes in the column of WPSounds like we need a bbPress widget for topic tags…
https://codex.bbpress.org/widgets/
Maybe create a ticket in trac https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/
In reply to: bbPress IntegrationAsk your host Hostpaedia if they have any instructions on installing WordPress (if not here is the generic Softaculous info) and once you have WordPress running then you add bbPress as a plugin.
Full instructions on installing bbPress are here:
https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started-with-bbpress/In reply to: "New topic page"Create a new WordPress page called ‘New Topic’ and add the shortcode [bbp-topic-form] to the page content.
https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/ & https://codex.bbpress.org/widgets/
In reply to: editing forum labels with template filesI think this plugin will do what you want.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-string-swap/It is planned for a future release see trac ticket #2055.
If you search the WordPress plugin repo you should find something that works for you though…
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ try searching for author and/or authors as bbPress users are just WordPress users after all.In reply to: Import forums Issue (Phpbb)No, migrating bbPress forums to BuddyPress’ is not something we have looked at yet…
It has come up a couple of times now and might be something we can look at in the future.
In reply to: About search button displayForum search is part of the upcoming bbPress 2.3 release.
