In reply to: Give bbPress full editor by default?
Hmmmm, this is not going to be quick nor easy to solve at this stage. There are quite few updates for pasting from Word and Excel slated for WordPress 3.9.2 but I haven’t tested any of them for bbPress, I’ll take a look in the next few days.
In reply to: conversion from phpbb issuesIt is pretty tricky to do by hand, actually I have never down it for more than one or two posts to verify the integrity of bbPress’ repair tools. The repair tools pretty much deletes everything relating to the ‘last activity’ and recreates it from scratch, this is why I think maybe your import didn’t import everything accurately the first time.
If you have only just performed the import I’d suggest setting up a test site and do the import again and ‘play’ around there and see if it then works, if so redo your import on your main site.
Also, it was phpBB v3 you imported from?
In reply to: Comments not appearing immediatelyIt depends how you are replacing the WordPress comments with bbPress replies, if your using a plugin for this then I would look to the plugin being an issue and go to that plugins support forums to find any known issues.
If you are doing this manually using bbPress then per your original post here:
For the past two weeks or so I’ve had a problem in the forums on my site where members comments no longer appear immediately. It can take a while for them to appear. I’m not sure how long, but several minutes.
This could be a performance issue, I would start by running some tests on a test post, add a reply and time how long it takes to appear in your sites backend as you state that the ‘do appear’, just not immediately, try using the Twenty Fourteen theme and disable all your other plugins except bbPress and time how long it takes now.
You might find your theme and plugins and using all the resources available in your web hosting plan, if this is the case contact your host to see what options or suggestions they may have for you.
In reply to: Importing from Vanilla@nippi9 It looks like you are using
GDNas the tabke prefix, tryGDN_In reply to: conversion from phpbb issuesYou need to run ALL of the repair tools after importing.
In reply to: Parent directory possible?In bbPress settings change the ‘forum root’ to ‘community’
In reply to: How do you style a specific forum's reply?If you take a look at the HTML source of a topic in that forum you should see
bbp-parent-forum-2881(based on your forum id mentioned).eg.
.bbp-parent-forum-2881 { background-color: red; }In reply to: Comments not appearing immediatelyYou need to be clearer here on describing your issue:
If it is WordPress comments ask on WordPress Support
If it is bbPress replies then you are in the right place.
In either case, check if they are being caught by Akismet or WordPress moderation, have a look in the backend for replies that have a status ‘pending’.
In reply to: Some Replies Threaded Even with Threading Turned OffYour issue appears to be a theme related or a plugin is not playing nice.
Rather than bbPress’ replies being out of order the HTML markup of the page you linked has invalid markup, tags are being closed when they certainly should not be.
Suspicion might be the signature plugin you are using, try disabling that plugin and see if it fixes the issue, if not start disabling all your plugins one by one until the issue goes away.
In reply to: Auto post in database with the data providedbbPress uses custom post types, create a forum, then a topic and reply in that forum.
Go take a look at the
forum,topic&replycustom post types inwp_posts, then take a look at the metadata for each post inwp_postmetaIn reply to: Default reply form behavior.If you do not want that functionality turn ‘Threaded Replies’ OFF in bbPress settings.
In reply to: Workaround for Spam Filters?This has nothing to do with bbPress (or WordPress), you will need to contact the email/systems/network administrator of the school and work with them to allow the forum subscription emails.
In reply to: bbPress CodexThe following pages have just had significant updates which should help those of you looking to find areas of interest to get involved with contributing to the bbPress open source project.
And don’t forget our IRC channels #bbpress and #bbpress-dev, swing by and say Hi 🙂
In reply to: Replies disappearing and then appearing again?They could be getting caught by Akismet or are failing the WordPress Comment Moderation/Blacklist limits are have an assigned status ‘pending’

http://example.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=pending&post_type=replyIn reply to: bbPress CodexWe actually pull the list of plugins using the WordPress plugin API, the good thing is that the plugin API is getting some updates this week so we should be able to include some of those enhancements into our plugin list https://bbpress.org/plugins
In reply to: Cannot Export/Import bbPressThe WordPress WXR Export/Import does include all the post meta, it includes everything that bbPress needs except for some idiosyncrasies for users such as bbPress roles and passwords as I outlined in the ticket.
In reply to: Cannot Export/Import bbPressPer my reply here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/migrating-from-one-bbpress-installation-to-another/#post-147085
I have just created a ticket on Trac to add a bbPress 2.x to bbPress 2.x importer.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2605
I have no idea why I had never thought of, or had mentioned or requested previously to include this. It should be pretty quick and easy to do also.

In reply to: Recent Topics link to most recent replyThe ‘Recent Topics’ widget even though it can include ‘Recent Replies’ the widget itself only outputs topic links. The ‘Recent Replies’ widget does link to the most recent reply id.
I also read your comments on the Trac tickets, we will get the widgets updated, the performance improvements we are making for bbPress 2.6 will most likely affect the widgets also, so we will take a look at the widget tickets at the same time.
In reply to: Upload images@askcdy This has nothing to do with bbPress, please post on the WordPress support forums.
In reply to: bbpress structureYou are correct in bbPress does not support this at this stage, BuddyPress Group Forums can only have a single bbPress forum.
That said, we are working towards adding this, there are more details here.
In reply to: WP Symposium converter for bbPressNot sure if this is related, but on my test install when there are second-level replies to import it messes bbPress list of replies.
Yes, saw the same thing, because the replies it tries to list are linking to parent topics that do not exist.
EDIT: do not believe I haven’t read your own posts LOL. I just wanted to describe the path I have followed in case it would bring some light on your side…
Thinking ‘out loud’ is all good, helps ideas for even funkier SQL queries 😉
Unfortunately, it seems the converter doesn’t accept this…
No it doesn’t, it is pretty limited in how we can do joins and joining a table with the same name it ignores when it comes time to merge all the sections field mappings. We can work around this for now by putting all of the join bits in the
from_expressionthus the following works:'from_expression' => 'INNER JOIN wp_symposium_topics t ON symposium_topics.topic_parent = t.tid WHERE symposium_topics.topic_parent != 0 AND symposium_topics.topic_group = 0 AND t.topic_parent = 0',I also setup some groups (and what a painful experience that was), I agree it would be nice to get the group topics imported also but lets do that in v2 after I add some of the previously mentioned changes to improve the capabilities of the main converter script.
Pull request sent with above change…
In reply to: WP Symposium converter for bbPressIt looks like we won’t get the threaded replies in v1, I had a similar issue with vBulletin 5 and which is not included in bbPress at this stage. Trying to get a single query to handle all of the replies doesn’t look good at the moment for WPS.
You can take a look at the vBulletin5.php importer, rather than just ‘Forums’, ‘Topics’ and ‘Replies’ sections I had to add a 4th, ‘Comments’ this then meant I had to extend the main converter to handle this extra step.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/2440/
I’ll have a think about this over the next couple of days and come up with some options, there is a chance I can add this extra section to bbPress and then included WPS threaded replies, vBulletin5.php in the next version of bbPress. There is just a ton of testing needed to ensure the ~20 other importers continue to work and fix any issues that arise…
In reply to: WP Symposium converter for bbPressReply to Replies, I had a look and they are stored in symposium_topics like other replies, so we should have them with little effort. In case you’d like to give it a try on WPS side, and be able to test their import, they are activated using roles, “Forum comment roles” under “Forum” tab.
I’ve added some ‘replies to replies’ to my test WPS forum before converting it… In bbPress, in the backend they are not displayed in the list of replies, although I do see ‘hidden’ replies in the count that I cannot access to. In the frontend, the forum topic does not show those replies, nor do the counters. However!! When dumping wp_posts table WHERE post_type = ‘reply’, they are there, so they were converted ok, it’s just that they don’t show. I did set bbPress threated replies 2 levels deep before conversion. Any advice…?
Looking at this now, threaded replies are using the same
topic_parentfield, though they are using this as a pointer to the ‘reply parent’ rather than the topic parent.This is the reply query: (My test results) Notice the ‘threaded replies’ topic ID, it is not the actual topic ID it is the reply ID they are a reply to.
SELECT CONVERT( symposium_topics.tid USING "utf8" ) AS tid, CONVERT( symposium_topics.topic_category USING "utf8" ) AS topic_category, CONVERT( symposium_topics.topic_parent USING "utf8" ) AS topic_parent, CONVERT( symposium_topics.topic_owner USING "utf8" ) AS topic_owner, CONVERT( symposium_topics.topic_post USING "utf8" ) AS topic_post, CONVERT( symposium_topics.topic_started USING "utf8" ) AS topic_started FROM wp_symposium_topics AS symposium_topics WHERE symposium_topics.topic_parent !=0 LIMIT 0 , 100Working on tweaking the query now….
I’ll be happy to contribute to the bbPress Codex as well, with issues etc.
Appreciated 🙂
Browsing other converters’ Codex, I do see where there will be issues with WP Symposium, [youtube], custom smilies {{cloud}}, etc.
I haven’t looked at this yet, most of it should be easy enough from work on the other importers, just a matter of creating a list of all that is required.
As far as groups forum topics, I would add ‘AND symposium_topics.topic_group = 0 ‘ to the ‘from_expression’ of both the topic ID and Reply ID sections to get rid of those posts. Cleaner until v2.
I’ll add that shortly and do some tests.
