    Based on the names of the table names you mention just leave the table prefix blank.

    Did you select vBulletin3 from the dropdown?

    This sadly is not easily solved, details are in the following codex article:

    Sorry, you had been caught by the Akismet spam filter, I’m restoring your posts now πŸ™‚

    Can you try opening a topic on your forum that has a topic and a couple of replies in a separate browser tab.

    Then in another browser tab start deactivating each of your plugins one by one and after deactivating each plugin refresh your topic page, once your topic refreshes and see you both the topic and the reply the plugin causing issues will be the last one you deactivated.

    What is that plugin?

    No, you don’t need Vanilla installed, you just need a copy of the database on the same server database server you are using for your WordPress install, once your happy with the import you can remove the old database (keeping a backup of course).

    It shouldn’t be doing this, any chance you actually have BuddyPress also activated?

    If so deactivate it and continue on your import πŸ™‚

    Per the reply @jaswsinc made on the first page, S2Member have created an issue to track this, so subscribe to that issue on GitHub and if you can help them track down the issue with testing, feedback, or reproduction steps to recreate the issue no doubt that will help get things fixed sooner πŸ™‚

    Theoretically based on bbPress’ topics, “sticky topics” are the same as standard topics with an extra flag for the type and CSS, I’d expect S2 to handle both these topic types the same way, of course it depends on the if the topic is in the same protected forum or if it is a “global sticky” not in the same forum.

    If you have either type of sticky topic I’d suggest you also check if they are protected or are public.

    Oh! But then again if everything “works” with WordPress 3.9.2 that might be useless advice above, maybe worth checking anyway πŸ˜‰

    S2 had a recent update 16th August http://www.s2member.com/changelog/

    (s2Member/s2Member Pro) bbPress Forum Compatibility Woohoo! This release of s2Member improves s2Member’s compatibility with bbPress Forums/Topics/Replies. It is now possible to protect a Forum with s2Member, and have all Topics within that Forum protected automatically. No changes necessary to enable this feature. If you protect a bbPress Forum, this is how s2Member will behave automatically. It’s a parent/child relationship that s2Member is now compatible with.

    WARNING: If you have been running s2Member together with bbPress in the past, this change may impact you. Any bbPress Forums that are protected by s2Member will now also protect all Topics within that Forum. This improvement also impacts s2Member’s Alt. View Restrictions. If you are using s2Member’s Alt. View Restrictions, any bbPress Topics that live within a protected Forum will automatically be hidden from Alternative Views configured with s2Member.

    I’d suggest creating a new forum with some topics and replies to have a play with, see what happens when you protect it with S2Member as a “clean” forum that has never been touched by a previous version of S2 and see how that goes, with some luck the results might help you narrow down a resolution for your existing forums.

    Some give or take on one side would be needed, most probably deactivate Vanilla, activate bbPress and then go to “Settings -> Forums” and change bbPress slugs to resolve any conflicts, once done you should be fine to reactivate Vanilla.

    Once you’ve imported your Vanilla forums, deactivate Vanilla, activate bbPress and change the slugs back and fingers crossed your existing URLs will point to the new bbPress forums.

    All function names need to be unique:

    See the WordPress Plugin Handbook for more details:

    Sanity Practices

    You can achieve this simple by prefixing the function names with your name: πŸ™‚

    
    function donalyza_remove_counts() {
    $args['show_topic_count'] = false;
    $args['show_reply_count'] = false;
    $args['count_sep'] = '';
    return $args;
    }
    add_filter('bbp_before_list_forums_parse_args', 'donalyza_remove_counts' );
    

    Our codex articles will need to be updated to include prefixes so there are none of these conflict, suggestion might be bbp_codex_ so that way a hint is also given where the custom function may have originated from πŸ˜‰

    Indeed pingbacks and trackbacks should not be enabled, I’ve just created a ticket to have a look at this, #2677.

    It was also mentioned in this thread https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/disable-pingbacks/

    @netweb

    Your theme is doing this:

    Look at your CSS file, line #95

    
    ul li:before {
      position: absolute;
      font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
      content: "\e98a1e";
      color: #f6cf08;
      font-size: 14px;
      line-height: 20px;
      left: 0;
      top: 0;
    }
    

    It’s inserting content: "\e98a1e"; before every unordered list element.

    You see the same issue on your about page http://bmslifttruck.com/about/

    I’d suggest contacting the theme authors, about this, it has nothing to do with any encoding issues, and p.s. any encoding issues in a WordPress world you should use UTF8 πŸ˜‰

    You are correct, image attachments are not imported, most of the ins and outs are in the docs

    Maybe the site that works has a custom bbpress.php wrapper template or it is using a page with bbPress shortcodes, either or it’ll just take a bit more comparing the differences between the two.

    @csutherland88 That’s pretty cool, thanks for sharing it.

    And BTW, the “bbPress Threaded Replies” plugin by Jennifer Dodd is the basis of bbPress threaded replies, Jennifer actually wrote the bbPress implementation based on her previous work with quite a few more enhancements than what was originally included in just the plugin.

    This sounds like we need to fix bbPress core, feel free to create a ticket on Trac and we can take a closer look https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org

    Edit: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2685

    Thanks for adding this to a GitHub repo, I’ll take a closer look later.

    The issue with the permalinks on ru.forums.wordpress.org is indeed known, details are here:
    https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/121

    Most likely rather than fix this in bbPress 1.x we will look to add your plugin (if needed) when we upgrade all the international forums to bbPress 2.x.

    This sounds like an issue with GD bbPress Tools and not bbPress, I suggest you post on their support forums for issues with their plugin.

    Firstly, a quick breakdown via pingdom, quite a delay in getting your JavaScript files, I’d get these into your Amazon CDN.

    As you stated above “ive eliminated all the points you’ve made above, and the site only chokes when users are submitting posts in the forum, so I’m confident i’ve isolated the issue.”

    • What happens when you deactivate either/or “Go to first unread” & “Unread posts” plugins you’re using and submit a reply to an affected topic?
    • Another test, this time with the ‘Quotes’ plugin disabled submit a reply to an affected topic.
    • Another, what code and/or plugin are you using to show the user registration in each reply e.g. Join Date: Mar 2009
    • And another, what code and/or plugin are you using for the counts shown next to the username in each reply e.g Posts: 4529

    Can you run the following two queries in phpMyAdmin, it will give me an idea of the state of the data in your database, it is the topic and three replies (two imported replies and one new bbPress reply) from the ~10k topic you have:

    
    SELECT ID, post_author, post_parent, menu_order, post_type
    FROM  wp_posts
    WHERE  ID
    IN ( 490979, 831628, 837704, 1031603 ) 
    

    and

    
    SELECT * 
    FROM  wp_postmeta
    WHERE  post_id
    IN ( 490979, 831628, 837704, 1031603 ) 
    

    Once you have the results of each (they don’t show any ‘sensitive’ data) click the “Print View” and copy and paste them to a text file, a Gist or to pastebin for me to checkout please.

    Over the weekend I had to reinstall everything here locally (and my online servers for a different reason) as something was up with my database, I’ve created a topic here locally with ~10,000 replies today (similar in size to your second most popular topic) and it takes ~1.6 seconds to post a reply to this topic. To time the queries, install the following plugin and of course only have it activated whilst your debugging this stuff https://wordpress.org/plugins/query-monitor/

    I just tested this and it works fine, as it states: “Disallow editing after ‘x’ minutes”, that does not infer setting to 0 will disable topic/reply editing πŸ˜‰

    Thus, if you set it to 1 editing will be disabled after 1 minute, the default is 5 minutes.

    If this is not working for you check your time and date settings, someone else had this issue a while back and as they had the incorrect time zone configured it was adding the time zone difference to the allowed editable time πŸ™‚
