Thanks, it would be great to get your translations added to https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/plugin
Go to https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/ and
login with your WordPress/bbPress username (the same one you used to login here at bbpress.org) and ask this same question you posted above and someone should be able to outline how how and where to upload your translations.
As per your thread on Stack Exchange that would be the route I would have a look into (i.e. Making a custom script)
http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/70350/is-there-a-way-to-import-blogger-into-bbpress
Also take a look at the ‘example’ file included with bbPress as an importer ‘reference template’.
You may be able to modify this enough to get your Blogger Posts/Comments into bbPress Topics/Replies
The file is called ‘example.php’ and is located in /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-admin/converters
Let us know how it works out for you.
bbPress 2.1 includes a conversion tool to import forums/topics/replies/users from some of the popular forum packages eg. bbPress or phpBB
There is an ‘example’ file also included as a ‘reference template’ that if your forum software is using a SQL database then you could easily modify this to be a custom importer by matching the correct database tables/fields etc
The file is called ‘example.php’ and is located in /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-admin/converters
Follow the steps outlined here https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/ for the files you want to customize by copying them to your theme directory.
Add the code here to your themes functions.php file
https://gist.github.com/3815686
Currently this layout style isn’t available with bbPress ‘out of the box’
Please see this thread for any updates https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/hierarchical-forum-and-category-layout/
The default ‘separator’ for the forum list is a comma (that comma you see on your site).
I see you have tweaked your forum list yourself so that each forum is on a new line.
I can’t see how you did this at the moment as I am using my phone and no CSS inspector.
Take a look at this https://gist.github.com/3797945 and add it to your functions.php of your theme or add it as a standalone plugin. Instead of a ‘comma’ I have a BR element there which if you removed the tweaks you have already made in your CSS for the forum list, this code snippet will give you the result you are looking for.
Thanks for this, sadly the code you have posted has been stripped in your post.
Could you try posting it again and/or post the code to pastebin.com, a Gist on GitHub
Better still you could create a ticket over at Trac and submit your patch directly for us.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/
Please see this thread regarding the code used here on bbPress.org
What theme does this site use?
@Zaerl I would also suggest having a look at @mordauk (Pippin’s) code at GitHub and contributing and or extending the functionality of this existing plugin. The code is on GitHub here https://github.com/pippinsplugins/bbp-mark-as-read
You can just delete the user and assign all those topics & replies to another user.
eg. If your vBulletin username was ‘Anointed’ and that username is the same username you setup for WordPress during the import, bbPress would have created a username ‘Imported_Anointed’ to avoid duplicates etc.
Go to the WordPress Admin -> Users and find the username ‘Imported_Anointed’ and click ‘delete’, the next screen will show you a copuple of options to either delete the user and all posts OR to ‘Attribute all posts and links to’ another username, simply select your ‘Anointed’ username from the dropdown list and all topics and replies will now be merged with your primary WordPress username ‘Anointed’
The bbPress Plugin v2.x uses the same database as WordPress.
Run the ‘Import Forums’ tool as outlined here:
https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/
If you grab the latest v2.1 branch of bbPress from Trac here that fix is included
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/2.1
Yep, once you are done and have checked that the import worked and are happy with it just delete the phpBB tables.
Export the database but don’t import it into your WordPress database you are going to use, import the phpBB database is its own separate database as once the data is imported you will be able to remove/delete that database as it will no longer be needed (just make sure you do keep a backup).
Other than that it looks like you are good to go.
You should export the entire phpBB database using from the current hosting provider and import it into your new hosting provider, remote migrations are not supported. Each of your hosting providers should have some documentation on how to import and export the MySQL database. You will not need to instal phpBB on your site to import the data, you only need the actual database.
This should also help https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/
The ‘default’ phpBB MySQL table prefix is “phpbb_”

This option I am pretty sure will not work in the way during the import that the topics and replies are matched to user ID’s, essentially during the import bbPress can not match the vBulletin (or any other forum) UserID to an existing WordPress user.
As for the other side of things I haven’t tried to do what you are trying to do with MultiSite though a quick test install locally to give it a run through different scenarios would be the best bet to see what the outcome is.
See this topic for your 1st problem:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/customising-bbp_list_forums-last-poster-block/
I also added some code for you to add some code to your themes functions.php for your 2nd problem rather than hacking the core bbPress files:
how to display list of sub-forums on separate lines, instead of big blob?
I cannot reproduce this with a couple of sites I have.
Can you go to your WordPress Dashboard -> Tools -> Forums -> Repair Forums
Run the repair tool to ‘Recalculate private and hidden forums’ and see if that fixes your issue .
(It would also be a good idea to run the rest of those tools to ensure all the forums/topics/replies are in sync).
You should NOT be able to view a private forum directly by its URL.
Are you using the latest bbPress v2.1.2?
.
