There might be a bug if your site contains a port in the url though.

This is what I am suspecting it might be, we’ve had issues in the past with users using MAMP on Mac using port 8888

Have a look at the following post, you’d want to diagnose the issue in a similar way to that it is described here:

How to get bbPress to work on a local WAMP installation

If your site is using the standard port 80 then I’d suggest disabling all of your plugins and switching to one of the default themes Twenty Fifteen, Fourteen, or Thirteen with no plugins activated, if you cannot view the dashboard with the above configuration then it will be something in the setup environment, if that works activate bbPress, if that works then start activating your other plugins and you should eventually get to a plugin that causes your dashboard to disappear, when you do thats the offender.

[Stephen Edgar]

Awesome, glad your fixed 🙂

[Stephen Edgar]

Also to note, until bbPress 2.5 pt_BR is 100% translated the only translations delivered via WordPress Update will be bbPress 2.4, language packs are only built once they are complete at 100%

This link shows the bbPress language packs available:
https://api.wordpress.org/translations/plugins/1.0/?slug=bbpress&version=2.5

These need to be translated to 100% to get these via WordPress Update
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/2.5.x/pt-br/default

If you can help translate those strings then you’ll get bbPress 2.5 translations, you can also get in contact with your locale team via https://br.wordpress.org/

[Stephen Edgar]

A year or two ago we had lots of translation issues with bbPress, to fix this I got en_AU (English Australian) of the ground and translated all the things, WordPress, BuddyPress and bbPress and help out on the #polyglots team https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/

The string I translated to test was the Pending string replaced with stickfinger for en_AU:

https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/dev/en-au/default?filters%5Bstatus%5D=either&filters%5Boriginal_id%5D=196793&filters%5Btranslation_id%5D=9251229

I then downloaded the .po and .mo files (at the bottom of that screen you can export these) and replaced my en_AU bbpress-en_AU.mo/bbpress-en_AU.po files in /wp-content/languages/plugins

What happens if you export the .po/.mo files from /bbpress/2.5.x/pt-br/default?

Also make sure your files are named bbpress-pt_BR.mo and bbpress-pt_BR.po

[Stephen Edgar]

Any change you also changed your theme recently or an update as also installed?

What happens if you switch your theme to one of the included themes? Twenty Fourteen or Fifteen?

[Stephen Edgar]

I just changed the https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/dev pending string to stickfinger and it works as expected 😉

[Stephen Edgar]

I’m looking into this now @stickfinger, if you have any updates on the testing you did please let me know 🙂

[Stephen Edgar]

@avalon98 It still works for me, are you sure the plugin/theme your using this in is still activated?

[Stephen Edgar]

What happens if you resave your permalinks? Go to Settings > Permalinks

A more common and now default of WordPress is to use the Post name format, also known as pretty permalinks, as such the following would be what you’d see for the “maine” forum

Yoast SEO issue on GitHub here -> https://github.com/Yoast/wpseo-news/issues/146

[Stephen Edgar]

It is not a solution, therefore will not solve the problem and could introduce all kinds of of other problems in any or all of the 3 plugins.

[Stephen Edgar]

For any code you can create anonymous (i.e. You do not require a GitHub account) and paste your code here https://gist.github.com it makes the code much easier to read than posting here on bbPress.org.

The 4 tables would be wbb1_board, wbb1_thread, wbb1_post and wcf1_user

Open up phpMyAdmin on your install, navigate to the database, click one of the 4 tables I listed above, then click structure, take a screen shot of similar to this example here.

[Stephen Edgar]

Apologies for the late reply, this is not a bbPress bug, per above it’s a known issue with Easy Digital Downloads – Currency Converter., and in the following topic it is actually an issue with Yoast’s SEO or News SEO plugin.

News SEO & BBPress Conflict

[Stephen Edgar]

Apologies all, this is not a bbPress issue, when bbPress is activated without any other plugins there are no notices, the notices only appear once activating both Yoasts’ WordPress SEO and News SEO plugins.

If you comment out this out of the News SEO plugin file class-meta-box.php

add_filter( 'add_extra_wpseo_meta_fields', array( $this, 'add_meta_fields_to_wpseo_meta' ) );

In the News SEO plugin the issue is resolved and no notices are displayed.

It appears to be related to pre_get_posts being used in WordPress SEO by Yoast, this was picked up in the WordPress Core ticket https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/31231

[Stephen Edgar]

The mail I get also states that You can see all trackbacks on this post here:http://openmindtrips.com/forums/topic/tobacco/#comments, but the trackback is never visible in the front end. Do you think Akismet is useful when it comes to preventing this kind of spam?

@amelliya, that is a topic you linked to rather than a forum…

That said you shouldn’t be getting any trackbacks on any forum/topic/reply 🙁

I’ll go have a look around and see what I can find and if needed add a fix for the next release 🙂

[Stephen Edgar]

You’ll actually need a couple more bits and not just the 2716 patch, if your working locally you can download the “development branch” of bbPress 2.6 and this includes everything you need.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/5804/trunk?old_path=%2F&format=zip

This version of bbPress will NOT allow you to update to the next version or revision of bbPress, you’d have to delete this version of the plugin and replace it with the official release when released, it also has the potential of breaking in other ways not related to importing phpBB, in other words it may be full of other bugs and if you decided to use it it’s the use at your own risk disclaimer 🙂

[Stephen Edgar]

I’m not sure what you pasted above is the same as the original file I worked on with @inspirationally but here is a link to the latest copy I have, maybe try this version and go from there to ensure there are no errors in the version/revision you are using.

https://gist.github.com/ntwb/41b8bb57df78d1a1bd01

Next up after that though I’m going to need some MySQL information on what the differences are between the database schema of WBB3 which the above was made for versus WBB4 which your trying to use it on? Do you have a DB schema for WBB4 or link to one via their site?

[Stephen Edgar]

Looks like it is a bug, can I get you both @matthewstephens and @jethron5000 to list the versions of the plugins you are using, i.e. What version of bbPress? What version of News SEO?

[Stephen Edgar]

Another potential idea would be to modify the code to “limit” the repair tool amount of replies it’s trying to do each time.

I’m not sure how many forums your site has, but maybe restricting that by forum ID may drop you down from 3 million to something more reasonable to process in under 30 seconds?

[Stephen Edgar]

The reply position is stored in wp_posts in menu_order, the first reply of a topic should be 0, then each reply after that increments by 1, that is what the end goal should be.

[Stephen Edgar]

You could also try running that same query you did above where it returned 3,763,193 total replies, then run the repair reply menu order repair tool and run the query again then subtract that new total from the original 3,763,193 to see how many replies are getting there menu order updated before PHP times out, then divide 3,763,193 by that number and you’d have a theoretical value of how many times you would need to run that tool before all replies are actually repaired 😉

[Stephen Edgar]

Two functions bbp_update_reply_position() and bbp_get_reply_position_raw() are what you need to look at:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/2.5/includes/replies/functions.php#L2113
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/2.5/includes/replies/functions.php#L2149

The two functions above are what calculates the reply position in the database as it doesn’t actually exist in the database until either a) a new reply is added to a topic or b) the repair tool is ran to calculate the reply order.

[Stephen Edgar]

You would want to do a search and replace in your database to change it from a BBCode link to a compatible link e.g. http://youtube.com/video_url.

I’m not familiar with “Aeva media” so can’t really help in that regard.

Using a search and replace plugin like the following might be what you need:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/search-and-replace/

You would search for the “Aeva media” BBCode, eg. [aver_video]video_url[/aver_video] and replace it with http://aver-vidio-domain.com/video_url

[Stephen Edgar]

Found the patch, it needs lots of testing and I haven’t had the time to take even a cursory look at it yet https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2731, so lets leave that aside for now.

The code is here, I’m not sure your level of PHP knowledge but I’ll just add the link to it for now and will follow up after you’ve had a look at the code:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/2.5/includes/admin/tools.php#L1134

[Stephen Edgar]

I’ll go grab that code for you now, I’ve also got a patch that I’m trying to find that fixes this per the details below.

The thing is, the tool works as you noted that it works for when you’ve only got 2 replies, it fails on millions because the PHP code times out after 30 seconds, theoretically if you keep running that tool, click back after each white screen and hit go again you will eventually achieve said goal, with millions I would not advise this though.
