You can grab the 2.3 beta 1 now, see https://bbpress.org/blog/2013/01/bbpress-2-3-beta-1/
In theory changing `post_parent` should do the trick though you need to run the ‘Repair Tools’ after doing this to recount all the things.
In reply to: How to get rid of the blog sidebar?There are very little in the way of options for bbPress and this is by design.
I’m also from the Stonehenge forum era and am far from a developer but saw the potential of bbPress, now I’m learning PHP due to the awesome inline docs in the code of bbPress (and WordPress).
Speaking of proud things in bbPress… Search is really new and works really well 😉
eg. https://bbpress.org/forums/search/?bbp_search=remove+sidebar
(I’m not meaning to be lazy or dismissive of your specific query just that this question has been asked many times and there are quite a few topics on this subject and you might even find one specific to the WordPress theme you are using)
Excellent, the BBCode cleanup bits are the main changes that will ship with bbPress 2.3, I think I have most of them sorted now.
Moving topics is a manual task at the moment, it is planned for a future release. (#1838 & #1721)
Are you able to configure your old phpBB forums (or a copy of them) and set these forums the way you want them to exist in bbPress and then do the import?
(Essentially use the phpBB mod tools to get the setup you want before importing into bbPress)In reply to: bbpress template tags in wpHows this for starters? https://codex.bbpress.org/bbp_list_forums/
There are a couple of minor updates for the importer with bbPress 2.3 but these do not relate to mismatched topics and replies. How many are we talking? 1 or 2? 10 or 20? 5,000? What percentage?
Don’t worry about user passwords, they are stored in usermeta until the user logs in for the first time.
Make sure you check the option ‘Import Users’
In reply to: Import forums Issue (Phpbb)Your phpBB database is NOT erased, you can reset bbPress and import from phpBB as many times as you want.
It is still advisable to make backups of everything still.
In reply to: bbPress 2.2.4 ReleasedI hope the silence wasn’t too deafening 😉
In reply to: Vbulletin 4.2 to bbPress 2.2.3There will be an update to the vBulletin import tool released with the upcoming bbPress 2.3
In reply to: Import forums Issue (Phpbb)You can also get the correct settings from your phpBB config file via FTP to your site or via your web host file manager for your phpBB install. /public_html/phpbbv3/config.php
`// phpBB 3.0.x auto-generated configuration file
// Do not change anything in this file!
$dbms = ‘mysqli’;
$dbhost = ”;
$dbport = ”;
$dbname = ‘my_phpbb_database_name’;
$dbuser = ‘my_database_user_name’;
$dbpasswd = ‘mypassword’;
$table_prefix = ‘phpbb_’;
$acm_type = ‘file’;
$load_extensions = ”;
@define(‘PHPBB_INSTALLED’, true);
// @define(‘DEBUG’, true);
// @define(‘DEBUG_EXTRA’, true);
`Copy the $dbname, $dbuser, $dbpasswd & $table_prefix values from this file into the bbPress import settings
In reply to: New Italian Wine Lifestyle ForumIts rather impressive to say the least, extremelly well integrated with your theme.
I particularly like this topic showing what an awesome bbPress topic looks like 🙂
Cheers,

The 34077 is total posts and this includes topics AND replies so:
34077 – 6981 = 27093
Topics = 6981
Replies = 27093
(These numbers will be inaccurate as they are from Google cache)In reply to: Problem to convert Simple Press to bbpressStop using the SimplePress importer and start using the phpBB importer.
If you import using the phpBB importer your users can login to WordPress/bbPress using their existing username and password.
The only known issues with importing from phpBB are listed here (they are all very minor issues)
https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/phpbb/If you have issues with the phpBB import then tell us what they are so we can fix them.
In reply to: Buddypress ProblemsYou should post all your BuddyPress questions over here -> https://buddypress.org/support/
In reply to: Problem to convert Simple Press to bbpressTry the steps I outlined above:
If it does continuously stop in the same position open phpMyAdmin and open the wp_options table and bump the value stored in _bbp_converter_start by 1 and click start again, if it fails again bump this value again.
If it hangs for 10 minutes, click ‘stop’, then click ‘start’ again it it should resume.
… phpbb3 data in simplepress and try to import it from bbpress
Why are you importing phpBB into SimplePress then into bbPress?
Why not just import phpBB directly into bbPress?
In reply to: Registration for ForumTurn on ‘anonymous’ posting in bbPress settings /wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bbpress
People can then post anonymously and signup as a member if they want to.
In reply to: Link Forum to WP PageA couple of options:
- Add a link in your menu to http://www.amanofreason.com/forums/
- Add some widgets to your sidebar https://codex.bbpress.org/widgets/
- Add some shortcodes to your WP pages https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes
Nice, looks good, thanks.
In reply to: How to get a list of forumsSee this thread for some tips
In reply to: Importing Mingle Forums into bbPress?@jiapei100 From the codex docs https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/#getting-there
- Log in to your WordPress Admin Dashboard
- Select the ‘Tools’ tab select ‘Forums’ from the navigation menu
- Select the ‘Import Forums’ tab at the top of the screen.
You then need to follow the next steps in the docs linked above for your settings.
Don’t forget to read the docs on Mingle and let us know any issues you find.
https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/mingle/In reply to: Plugin that allows upvotes and downvotesCheckout the ‘bbPress Post Ratings’ plugins mentioned in this topic
In reply to: Vanilla 2 ConverterThanks for adding that to the codex, I am not sure we should go that route though, I think we should not advise anyone to modify their existing forum directly with SQL. I think we are better off stating that all users including banned and deleted users are imported into WordPress and after importing you should manually delete these users through the WordPress Users admin panel.
As to the correct code/syntax for the password, honestly I have no idea! Give me a code example and I can hack around and make stuff work but code from scratch I am at noob level 😉
I started learning PHP when I started playing with bbPress not that long ago and along with WordPress they are my only PHP learning resources and a testament to @johnjamesjacoby coding with awesome inline docs.
With all that said though I think it would probably be best if you want Facebook, Twitter, Google, Yahoo, OpenID etc etc logins for WordPress/bbPress it will be much easier to install one of the many WP plugins that offer this. Then have the end users link their existing user profile to Facebook, Twitter or whoever, otherwise there will be all sorts of values we are trying to migrate from Vanilla to support a vast array of different user plugin implementations that are available for WordPress.
In reply to: Vanilla 2 ConverterCool, I’ll add this back in `‘from_expression’ => ‘WHERE User.Deleted = 0′`.
I removed it as if there is a `‘from_expression’` in the template it takes precedence and ignores any `‘join_’` expressions. So I need to dig around `converter.php` and find why it is ignoring the `’join_’` expressions when converting the users.The `callback_savepass` & `authenticate_pass` is where we add any extra password algorithms if needed for non WordPress passwords (phpBB.php importer is a good example)
I deleted my Facebook account a couple of years ago so I won’t be doing any FB stuff 😉
In reply to: Vanilla 2 ConverterThe docs are now up also,
@brokentwig Key changes from your great work getting this started- Topic tags are now included
- Once bbPress core converter is updated we can filter the users imported
- Added Topic Closed Status
- Inline docs consistent with other importers
- Whitespace and code formatting improved
- Uses parser.php to convert HTML & Smilies
- Reply status not needed, defaults are built into converter.php
- Reply Order removed, this is calculated during the import
The to do list:
- Remove the `callback_savepass` & `authenticate_pass` as you rightly point out they are not needed and Vanilla uses the same hash as WordPress for passwords so this is too easy.
If you see any bugs with the converter `Vanilla.php` please post these to the trac ticket here.
If there is anything else that needs doing before or after the import that I have not already listed in the codex docs if you could add/update these that would be great.
