Ah… That’s the reason, bbPress only supports importing from SMF 2.x and your using 1.x.
It looks like significant database schema changes so I’d take a look at upgrading your database to SMF 2.x first and once done then import to bbPress 2.x 🙂
http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Upgrading
Oh! The version included in bbPress 2.5.4 is the r5191 version, the smf3 you refer to is older than that, essentially there is no need to download any files from trac manually to replace the files that already exist in bbPress 2.5.x.
That said “if” you do download any versions of the importers from trac, you need to match the main bbPress converter.php file, this is not the ‘dropdown’ you refer to.
Looking closer at your original message, indeed you did use the smf_ prefix, my bad.
Can you open up phpMyAdmin and open the smf_members table and post a screenshot like mine below (if there is sensitive data there then just the column headers would be fine)
For some reason it appears your table is missing the member_name column and that is why the error occurs.
What version of SMF are you trying to import?
And lastly, no forum is to big for bbPress 😉
You can use any of the themes in the WordPress theme repo on as many domains as you like for free.
Ooops, for the topic form, take a look in content-single-forum.php and you’ll find:
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'topic' ); ?>
If you want paste your templates (or code snippets) in a Gist and I’ll take a look and see if anything stands out… https://gist.github.com/
Unless you have named the files incorrectly, this is what they should be:
content-archive-topic.php – loop-topics.php – loop-single-topic.php
You have an extra s on two of the three 😉
I am sorry, I am not writing custom plugins for people for free, let alone your assumption that that is what you expect, not going to happen.
If you need some custom code written post an advert on http://jobs.wordpress.net
Can you post a screenshot of what you see in the “yellow box” once you start an import, actually also include a screenshot of the settings you are using also please.
Also if you are going to use versions of the importer from the source repo you will need to ensure you also are using the matching the revision of converter.php.
Also not quite sure how you landed on the r5191 revision, there are quite a few since then and a few before!
It looks like you left out the table prefix, SMF typically uses smf_
Double check by opening your SMF Settings.php file in the root folder of your SMF install:
########## Database Info ##########
$db_type = 'mysql';
$db_server = 'localhost';
$db_name = 'db_name ';
$db_user = 'db_user ';
$db_passwd = 'db_passwd ';
$ssi_db_user = '';
$ssi_db_passwd = '';
$db_prefix = 'smf_';
$db_persist = 0;
$db_error_send = 1;
Cool, and yes what you wrote above is correct for the topic template hierarchy.
Argh! Both 😉
Wherever you are testing all of this, the phpBB database must be on the same MySQL database server, not the same actual database, just the same server.
I’m not entirely sure what the ‘wp-united’ does to the phpBB members table but there are a couple of topics here on bbpress.org about it.
Lets skip trying to import phpBB members for a minute and just go with forums, topics and replies for starters. So try your import again without selecting to import “Users”, this should be a good test to make sure that you have a connection to the database and you are indeed using the correct prefix, I expect as you note it most likely should be phpbb3_ as per your phpBB config file.
I see your using a Pagelines theme, are you using the Pagelines bbPress plugin? (You need this for Pagelines themes last time I looked)
Have you played with bbp_parse_args() yet? This is used ~100 times in bbPress to allow you to change array arguments ‘before’ or ‘after’.
BuddyPress introduced bp_parse_args in BuddyPress 2.0, and as they have some good docs and we don’t yet here for bbPress check this out:
https://codex.buddypress.org/plugindev/using-bp_parse_args-to-filter-buddypress-template-loops/
So for the bbPress function bbp_list_replies() you’d use bbp_before_list_replies_parse_args
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.5.4/includes/replies/functions.php#L2192
Does this get you on the right track? I hope so as I’ve never played with custom walkers 😉
What you should do is tweak the arguments passed to the breadcrumb so you can add/change the CSS classes (and or HTML elements) for the breadcrumbs, the plugin extends what is already listed in the codex docs and shows you all of the options available and you should be able to tweak it for what you are after.

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use
Whenever a change is made to bbPress — update the plugin, change a setting, etc — the WordPress user roles in wp_options->wp_user_roles are erased
I have a theory as to why this ‘may’ happen with a plugin update, I’ll have to go find what I’m thinking of that may have been included in a recent bbPress release (2.5.3 or 2.5.4) but the roles being erased by changing a bbPress setting I have not seen, nor can I think of any reason why this would be happening.
Could you test this part for me please:
1. Open up WordPress Users admin panel
2. Verify the listed users on the first page have both a WordPress and bbPress role
3. Open bbPress Settings page and change a couple of settings and save
4. Go back to WordPress users, do the same users still have both WordPress and bbPress roles?
The closest I have seen to this is detailed in the following ticket, but this issue is when changing users roles via the bulk actions, #2597.
See the link Robin posted in the other topic or here it is.
At a guess, it’s hard to guess without a link or screenshots I’d say your themes including some template content you don’t actually want.
Depending on your theme you need to make a copy of your page.php file and rename it bbpress.php.
To add new fields to a users profile you can add new fields, see this plugin for an example and the relevant WordPress Codex docs:
https://gist.github.com/ntwb/c70caf5a0aa9d3062a6d
https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/user_contactmethods
Is the database on the same database server? Your trying to get a remote database are you?
There is also a phpBB/WordPress plugin to bridge phpBB to WordPress, are you using that? If so this can be problematic due to modifications it does for phpBB members.
Excellent, let me know how it goes, haven’t seen a MyBB that big be imported, yet 🙂
A quick look the following tweaks your background colors to match (colors are not exact though) and they should be tweaked to match your themes color scheme etc.
#bbpress-forums div.odd,
#bbpress-forums ul.odd,
#bbpress-forums div.even,
#bbpress-forums ul.even,
#bbpress-forums li.bbp-header {
background-color: #113450;
}
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-header,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-header,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-header {
background-color: #112350;
}
I have no idea what you are referring to, bbPress does not include any icons for anything but the bbPress ‘Forum’, ‘topic’ and ‘replies’ sections in WordPress backend.
Some screenshots and a link to your site would be helpful.
The reason your user profiles are not working as they should is the same reason I posted in the other topic here.
Something is ‘not quite working right’ with your theme and causing weird things to happen with your templates.
By fixing your theme and templates your users should then be able to click their username from any location and if logged in will be able to see the ‘Edit’ link on their profile and then edit their profile on the front end.
Thanks for the update, does seem a little weird the issue persists even after deactivating them. Hopefully the developer will come back to you with a fix.
Life got in the way of fun 🙁 Will do this in the morning 😉
