In reply to: vBulletin 5 to bbPress Migration
I have a customised version of the importer for vBulletin 5.
There are a couple of tweaks that are needed though to bring it in-line with the current importer updates. The issue is with the way our current import script is setup we need to heavily tweak not just the import script but also our main
converter.phpfile to handle the complex SQL joins need.If your familiar with SVN you can checkout the
2440-converter.php.2.diffpatch in the following ticket along withvBulletin5.php, if not let me know and I’ll upload full files of these somewhere.In reply to: bbPress integrated w/ BuddyPress profiles?Pretty much anything can be done regarding bbPress/BuddyPress integration, they both play extremely well with each other, it is just really a matter of coming up with what you actually want
A couple of recent things that come to mind:

To add the @halo-diehard usernames add the following to
loop-single-reply.phpjust afterbbp_reply_author_link()<?php bbp_user_nicename( bbp_get_reply_author_id(), array( 'before' => '<p class="bbp-user-nicename">@', 'after' => '</p>' ) ); ?>What else did you have in mind?
In reply to: Last post firstYou don’t need to change any files, just add the code from Rob and the code from the link I posted to your functions file.
In reply to: 0 Voices 1 Posts?Well there is something else going on, disable all your plugins except bbPress and switch to the Twenty Fourteen theme and do some tests to see if the ‘Voice Count’ and ‘Post Counts’ increment correctly.
In reply to: How use diferents page themeplatesCheck your themes FAQ or ask support for what template you should be using and then use that template to create the
bbpress.phpfile.In reply to: Uninstalling BBPressNice support (and work) from your hosting provider and glad your resolved, still a strange issue though.
In reply to: how to upgrade bbpress 1.0.2 to a newer version?The importer is included in bbPress, open ‘Tools’ -> ‘Forums’ from your WordPress dashboard.
In reply to: Users cannot post new topic/repliesIf your using Akismet, Akismet may be blocking them, also check your moderation settings:.
In reply to: PHPBB to bbPress topic viewsCurrently phpBB ‘Topic Views’ are not supported as we do not include support in bbPress to track unread forums or topics.
There are a handful of plugins that add support for this to bbPress listed here, depending on which one you used and the method used a tweak to the phpBB import script could probably import those values.
In reply to: Seven17 forumsWhat Rob said, also like the fact that the thing I always go looking for is the template notice “You must be logged in to create new topics.” to see if it matches the site, it does, nice 🙂
WPCanday still works for me also and I’m going to leave RatsClan there for now as it has a special place in a few of the bbPress developers hearts 😉 and as it looks like the “Playing Cards” will be returning in 2014 🙂
You can see a sneak peek of what the “old site” looked like here.

In reply to: Large Forum Import Hangs ( Vbulletin 3 )I am expecting this will be a reply in the source database has some weird content.
To quote @JohnJamesJacoby here:
These types of faults are typically due to some encoding issue in that post. Sometimes this is from an encoding conversion to UTF8 that was done at some point. Whatever it is, it’s nearly impossible to detect without setting a time limit on queries and bisecting the difference until we can narrow down the offending entry, and skip it. Because queries could naturally take a long time, and because it results in missed data, I’m not comfortable with this approach.
The workaround is to find and delete the offending reply which is time consuming and tricky but the only way at this stage.
Here’s how I do debug this and find the offending topics/replies:
- Once the import hangs, click stop, take a note of where it was up to, e.g. Converting 11,299 – 11,300
- Click start again and the import will continue from where it left off
- If it hangs again, take note of where it was up to again
- Once finished make a fresh copy of the source database
- Now drop all the rows in the database that are not in the range of rows that failed during import
- Perform a fresh import using this database with the “Rows Limit” setting set to
1 - The import should hang on the offending topic/reply
- Again, take note of the topic/reply it was up to
- Click stop, click start again to continue on
- Once you have your list of offenders and the import has finished delete these rows from this database and test again to make sure it completes without hanging
- Now back in your full database (presumably a copy of the original) delete these same rows from the database and run the import again
In reply to: Random Topic LinkLet me think about the menu solution for a bit….
e.g. To include forum ID’s
2,5,12and14add thepost_parent__inif ( bbp_has_topics( array( 'orderby' => 'rand', 'posts_per_page' => 1, 'post_parent__in' => array( 3, 5, 12, 14 ) ) ) ) {e.g. To exclude forum ID’s
7,11,19and21add thepost_parent__not_inif ( bbp_has_topics( array( 'orderby' => 'rand', 'posts_per_page' => 1, 'post_parent__not_in' => array( 7, 9, 11, 19 ) ) ) ) {In reply to: phpbb to bbpress converter and best practice?Looking at http://thailandsforum.se/wp-dev/topics/ it looks like all your topics were imported but they are not associated with a forum.
Run each of the repair tools and per the note at the top of the screen:
Some of these tools create substantial database overhead. Avoid running more than 1 repair job at a time.
You can actually skip the follwing two repair tools:
- Recalculate the position of each reply
- Repair BuddyPress Group Forum relationships
In reply to: Admins and Users cannot edit their PostsThis sounds like an issue with your Twenty Thirteen child theme, what happens if you switch to Twenty Fourteen? Does everything work?
It could also be a plugin conflict, check by disabling each plugin until functionality works as expected then you will know what that plugin is causing the conflict.
In reply to: 0 Voices 1 Posts?I would check if your web host is caching the bbPress pages and/or you are have setup caching yourself, if so disbale your cache plugin/s and see what happens.
I’d suggest removing it, you shouldn’t need this.
(Presuming you were only using this to so your had port 8888 for MAMP?)In reply to: 404 Error-Replies pageProbably running each of the repair tools would correct any issues with the replies meta data.
(This is assuming that every plugin is disabled except bbPress and your using Twenty Fourteen)In reply to: Menu link to ProfileRobin, WordPress includes functions for this:
e.g.
sanitize_file_name($current_user->user_login);https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/sanitize_file_name
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/sanitize_title
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/sanitize_title_with_dashes
(There are quite a few of them, they are linked in the ‘related’ sections of the above articles)In reply to: forums individual category top five recent topicsClosing this in favour of your original topic, please don’t create multiple topics, when someone has an answer to your question they will post a reply. A bit of patience goes a long way as everyone here is a volunteer.

In reply to: phpbb to bbpress converter and best practice?1. Yes, the vast majority of the time you will want to import your users, the exceptions to this are typically other forum plugins for WordPress where the users already exist as WordPress users.
2. No. At this stage there is no way to only import changes since your last import, I’d love to add support for this in the future though.
3. Leave this unchecked, it’s designed to allow you to restart the import from ‘scratch’ by first deleting any previously imported content. The thing is this only partially works and I am actually fixing this as we speak. If you need to delete any imported content to start again use the “Reset Forums” tab and be sure to also delete the imported users.
You can also click the ‘Help’ link in the top right if the screen that will explain more of these options for additional info.
In reply to: Uninstalling BBPressAs it is a premium plugin I can’t download it to have a quick look, there are also a few other bbPress issues on their forums/support site that would be worth reading also.
In reply to: bbPress lists not displaying correctly?Cool, glad your sorted 🙂
In reply to: Uninstalling BBPressCool, checkout the following, this seems like the issue you described:
