In reply to: bbpress 2.1 erroneous "last updated by" messageGlad it’s fixed
In reply to: upgrade to bbPress 2.1 and some reply is missingHave you tried recounting/repair the forums via /wp-admin/tools.php?page=bbp-repair

In reply to: Forum attributes – their meaningA ‘Forum’ will contain topics, whereas a ‘Category’ contains forums.
You might have a category ‘Open Source Software’ and then have forums ‘WordPress’ and ‘bbPress’ in that category.
Status – Yes, a ‘closed’ topic is still visable just no more replies can be posted to that topic.
Visibilty:
Public – Anyone can see these forums
Private: Only logged in registered users can see these forums
Hidden: Only Moderators/Admins can see these forums
And also https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/
In reply to: A question about usersFor ‘friend connections’ as such you would need some kind of plugin like BuddyPress to handle the extensions to the user profile.
You could also have a look at the new BuddyPress 1.6 beta 2
In reply to: Importing users?The easiest way would then be to export your data to a CSV file (or other flat file format) and setup a MySQL database to match your current user data fields, import that data and customize the bbPress import template to match.

Stephen
In reply to: Upgrade to 2.1 broke the forum… : /Have you tried ‘Repair Forums’? (via /wp-admin/tools.php?page=bbp-repair)
If that doesn’t fix can you post the URL to the site so we can take a look.
Each forum has an ‘order’ attribute in the ‘Forum Attributes’ and the forum list widget should display the forums in that order.
In reply to: Different language UIs for different users?Sorry, posted the wrong link
though it is still useful:https://codex.wordpress.org/Multilingual_WordPress
The current state of bbPress language translations are here:
In reply to: A question about usersDoug, the docs are indeed a work in progress and now that 2.1 has been released hopefully we can get some more people to help update said docs.
In reply to: Importing users?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 10,000 users are in a MySQL 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
In reply to: Different language UIs for different users?“WordPress does not support a bilingual or multilingual blog out-of-the-box. There are however Plugins developed by the WordPress community which will allow you to create a multilingual blog easily.”

In reply to: bb Converter of Invision forums breaking repliesAs Anointed points out bbConverter is no longer being maintained but the code was used as the base for the freshly pressed bbPress v2.1 with many improvements to the conversion process.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress/
That said though, I have not tested the Invision import process, only bbPress & phpBB but you could definitely try the import with bbPress 2.1 and let us know how it goes
Have a read of the doc’s here
https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started-with-bbpress/
And the shortcodes you can add to WordPress pages here
In reply to: Forum attributes – their meaningHave a read of the doc’s (work in progress)
In reply to: Issues with JW Player in BuddyPressbbPress by design explicitly blocks ALL short codes from functioning (except built in bbPress short codes) thus I presume why someone decided to create whitelist plugin.
I have nothing to do with any of the plugins I mentioned above, it was the only option I could think of to help you out after looking at your site, sorry it doesn’t work for you.
In reply to: Issues with JW Player in BuddyPressbbPress out of the box will not support [shortcodes] so JW Player will not work in forum posts.
If you want to enable [shortcodes] in bbPress topics & replies then give this a try.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress2-shortcode-whitelist/
And then install a ‘whitelist supported’ video player eg.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/vipers-video-quicktags/
Currently you have created a ‘parent’ forum called ‘forums’ and then added each of your forums (General, Humour, Bookshelf etc) as a ‘child’ of that parent.
If you remove the top level ‘forums’ forum you will achieve the outcome you are looking for.
To test this before deleting it go into each of your forums and in the ‘Forum Attributes’ change the ‘Parent’ to ‘No Parent’ and click update .
The page /forums is a generic page part of bbPress.
You can create your own page/s and use the bbPress Shortcodes
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes
Go to Appearance > Pages and give it a title (Discussion, The Teams, Leagues etc)
Then in the content of that page use the bbPress shortcodes with how and what you want on that page.
This for example would show what you currently have on /forums plus add the ‘new topic form’ below that list.
[bbp-forum-index]
[bbp-topic-form]
You could also create a page called ‘New Topic’ and just have [bbp-topic-form] on that page and then using the same method from Jarad above add those pages as menu items.

In reply to: phpbb3 -> bbpress converterGive this a go… It should work for you fine https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbconverter/
There is also a thread about it here:
In reply to: Is this URL structure possible?As you stated
…uncheck the “Prefix your forum area with the Forum Base slug” box..
That will give you mysite.com/forum/forum-name
i.e. NOT /forums/ but the value you give the ‘forum slug’
These codes eg. “:twwr5fiw” are NOT added by the converter, they are actually in the raw phpbb database tables, phpbb strips these codes before rendering on the page display.
The converter is copying the content correctly and in essence before running the converter you need to strip these from your phpbb installation first.
I haven’t found an easy way to do this yet but that is what stage I am up to before trying my next conversion. More info can be found by looking around phpbb.com for “Magic URL” & “Short URL” though I haven’t found much that could actually help us out here. It looks like I will try replacing the eg. “:twwr5fiw” & “<! — m –>” info manually with search and replace SQL Update queries directly into the phpbb database tables before conversion.
bbConverter FAQ/Known Issues 1.3 phpbb – bbpress
– Post URL’s (**From post above this post)
The URL’s from phpbb I thought were not getting migrated correctly when in fact they are, it is just that phpbb in its table lists the URL’s rather oddly. When looking at URL’s in the raw tables of phpbb they are in the following format:
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://example.com">http://example.com<!-- m --></a>Need to strip the <!– m –> & ‘ class=”postlink”‘ before conversion either with bbconverter or firstly converting the links in phpbb before conversion
– Poster IP Address is not migrated.
see this post.
– Images and Attachments (and smilies) are not migrated.
see this post.
– Existing Users
If a username already exists in wp_users the imported user will be named imported_username eg. If ‘john’ already exists will import as ‘imported_john’
– User Post Counts are not imported
When viewing /wp-admin/users.php each user post count is ‘0’
Ideally adding support to bbPress Core /wp-admin/tools.php?page=bbp-recount would fix that.
(I couldn’t find where WP/BBP is keeping the total post count for a user though it is stored in phpbb_users user_posts)
– Ophaned/Deleted User Posts:
If the user has been deleted from phpbb when bbConverter runs these posts will be imported into bbPress as userid ‘1’ (i.e. ‘Admin’)
– Time Zone
Ensure you have your WP install is set to the same Time Zone as phpbb to get correct post times
– User Profile data AIM & YahooIM fields are migrated by Jabber is not
add the following code for ‘jabber’ to ‘/** User Section **********’ of phpbb.php script below aim/yim
<br />
// User jabber.<br />
$this->field_map[] = array(<br />
'from_tablename' => 'users', 'from_fieldname' => 'user_jabber',<br />
'to_type' => 'user', 'to_fieldname' => 'jabber'<br />
);<br />– ‘Quotes’
I haven’t fully looked into how quote behavior works just yet, needless to say a workaround of sorts needs to be found for this.
– Additional User Profile fields
Ideally would like to import phpbb_users user_from (phpbb User Localtion) field to wp_usermeta description (Thus eg. Melbourne, Australia is added to the WP user BIO). Unless of course there is a funky way to import ‘User Location'(user_from), ‘Signatures'(user_sig), ‘occupation'(user_occ) & ‘interests'(user_interests) all together into WP Bio?
– User Stuff not migrated (No big deal IMHO)
User Subscribed Post, Favorite, Bookmarks, Private Messages, Rank
(I dont see much of that as a very big issue in my case, users can just start this stuff from scratch)
And that’s about all I have for now… Any ideas or other workarounds would all be well received and again thanks guys for this plugin and hope that now phpbb is there I can help contribute something back.
Cheers,
Stephen
