There is an ‘example’ file included with bbPress 2.1 that can be used as a ‘reference template’ to make converters for other forums.
You may be able to edit this file and convert your WBB3 forum to bbPress 2.1 after having a good look around the WBB3 SQL database.
The file is called ‘example.php’ and is located in /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-admin/converters/
I think the two of you need to compare your settings, installed plugins etc, you both have what the other is looking for and with some luck you will both solve each others problems.

Sorry, but all three of your the links you referenced are referring to the old stand alone version of bbPress, we are trying to get all the docs updated but as some still use the 1.x versions we still need them though I know it becomes rather confusing if you hit a link relating to that old version.
bbPress 2.1 has built-in theme support, if you want customize bbPress to closer look like your WordPress theme please see https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/ to get started.
That plugin is for the old stand alone bbPress v1.x, you should look at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ to find if a plugin exists to use with ‘bbPress Plugin v2.x’
This is a known issue for phpBB & Invision forums and the way it looks at the BBCode as its being imported, we are hoping to get this fixed for bbPress 2.2.
You can see more details on the problems here https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1884
It should have resolved the issue, did you clear your cache first?
If so could you rename the file back and post the error you are getting here then rename the file again so you have a work around whilst we investigate this further.
Cheers,
Stephen
The codex is currently setup with a ‘context’ category that lets us split the docs between developer and user.
https://codex.bbpress.org/context/developer/ & https://codex.bbpress.org/context/user/
Building on that already existing theory as we reply to questions in the forum we should start tagging them appropriately ‘user’ or ‘developer’ and thus being able to follow each tag.
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic-tag/user/ & https://bbpress.org/forums/topic-tag/developer/
Should we also add other tags like ‘faq’ or ‘addtofaq’ or something along those lines so we can add tags to be able to follow topics we think need docs/updated docs/better docs and priority of that need etc etc… Suggestions?
Is ‘User” to dis-ambiguous in the ‘docs’ vs ‘end user username’ context for bbPress though?
(If we were able to edit the current topic tags we could quickly tag the past couple of weeks topics, als that will have to wait a little while longer)
bbPress 2.1 now has built-in theme support, try using the steps outlined here:
https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/
You could create a new role called “Supporting Members” and give these members the same permissions as the bbPress role ‘Forum Participant’.
This would only change the text displayed under each username, it would not give them a badge or image displayed next to or under there avatar etc, for that you would need to write or download a plugin that supported this for bbPress (I cant think of any that do this at this stage).
By default you see only the ‘Red X’ for both favorites and subscribed topics on your user profile page eg. /forums/users/username/
Are you using the latest version v2.1.1 and WordPress 3.41?
If you use the forum base ‘X’ and forum slug ‘y’ and have ‘Forum Prefix’ checked
– hxxp://www.example.com/x/y/yournotstupid
– (default bbPress slugs hxxp://www.example.com/forums/forum/yournotstupid/ )
If you use the forum base ‘X’ and forum slug ‘y’ and have ‘Forum Prefix’ UNchecked
– hxxp://www.example.com/y/docscouldbebetter
– (default bbPress slugs hxxp://www.example.com//forum/docscouldbebetter/ )
There is some basic doc’s here https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started-with-bbpress/#creating-your-first-forum and https://codex.bbpress.org/forums-settings/#archive-slugs

Duplicate, please only post your question once.
bbPress Login Shortcode NOT for use on sidebar?

More info and a link to your site is needed to see whats causing this though it appears to be a CSS issue with your theme.
Try updating the permalinks, change them to something else and then back to /%category%/%postname%/
This has been patched #1886 and will be in the 2.12 release later this week.
I’m not sure if I’m reading what you want correctly but is this shortcode what your looking for?
[bbp-topic-index] – This will show the most recent 15 topics across all your forums with pagination.

Give us the URL of your forums so we can have a closer look
So…. I created a new clean phpBB install, imported the data into phppBB, installed WordPress & bbPress and imported from phpBB.
Everything looks fine to me…. I wish I could find something, we know there is something wrong!
I’ll have another look in the morning with a fresh par of eyes.
Thanks for persisting and trying to help us find the problem.
Cheers,
Stephen
Currently available shortcodes are list with a brief explanation of each:
https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/
I’ve looked at the data you sent me and each value for each field is a valid field value/type!
I can import that data into a phpBB install, I can then import that data to bbPress!
I got nothing at the moment as to what is causing the import to stop, Ill try and gather some more sample data/databases to debug the issue.
For now if you get stuck try ‘bbp_converter_start by 1’
