Cool, glad your taking a look at it.

“It seems to have appended an extre Re: in front of each (so they read Re:Re:Topic)”

The Re: should only be added to the title of a reply, this should not be adding them to the topics and this shows that the SQL in the importer isn’t quite matching up with your database.

The SQL queries below are based on the Kunena1.php importer and use the prefix jos_ as the table prefix for the bbPress importer.

When the importer fails you should see an error message like the following:
WordPress database error: [Unknown column 'kunena_categories.locked1' in 'field list']

In this particular case the importer was looking for jos_kunena_categories.locked1 where jos_kunena_categories is the table name and locked1 is the field name. I used ‘locked1’ as a way to force an error to show the example, so if I knew my version of the database should be looking at the field locked instead of locked1 you can find the 'from_fieldname' => 'locked1' in Kunena1.php and update that with the correct field mapping 'from_fieldname' => 'locked',.

Another way you can go about this is to jump directly into phpMyAdmin and test each of the following SQL queries, there are primarily four queries are as follows:

Again I used prefix jos_ for my database and you will need to change this to match your own database table prefix.

Forums

SELECT 
kunena_categories.id AS id,
kunena_categories.parent AS parent,
kunena_categories.numTopics AS numTopics,
kunena_categories.numPosts AS numPosts,
kunena_categories.name AS name,
kunena_categories.description AS description,
kunena_categories.ordering AS ordering,
kunena_categories.locked AS locked 
FROM jos_kunena_categories AS kunena_categories

Topics

SELECT 
kunena_messages.thread AS thread,
kunena_messages.catid AS catid,
kunena_messages.userid AS userid,
kunena_messages.ip AS ip,
kunena_messages_text.message AS message,
kunena_messages.subject AS subject,
kunena_messages.time AS time,
kunena_messages.locked AS locked 
FROM jos_kunena_messages AS kunena_messages 
INNER JOIN jos_kunena_messages_text AS kunena_messages_text 
ON kunena_messages_text.mesid = kunena_messages.id 
WHERE kunena_messages.parent = 0

Replies

SELECT 
kunena_messages.id AS id,
kunena_messages.catid AS catid,
kunena_messages.thread AS thread,
kunena_messages.ip AS ip,
kunena_messages.userid AS userid,
kunena_messages.subject AS subject,
kunena_messages_text.message AS message,
kunena_messages.time AS time 
FROM jos_kunena_messages AS kunena_messages 
INNER JOIN jos_kunena_messages_text AS kunena_messages_text 
ON kunena_messages.id = kunena_messages_text.mesid 
WHERE kunena_messages.parent != 0

Users

SELECT 
users.id AS id,
users.password AS password,
users.username AS username,
users.email AS email,
users.registerDate AS registerDate 
FROM jos_users AS users

That’s a bit to digest so I’ll leave it at that for now and it is probably as clear as mud unless you are a seasoned SQL junkie.

If anything I wrote above doesn’t make sense just ask away and remember 🙂

Give this plugin a try

bbPress Forum Redirect
Allows you to override the default behaviour of bbPress forums, linking them to an external site. bbPress Forum Redirect requires no real configuration… it simply adds a metabox to the forum edit screen allowing you to specify an override URL.

Arghhhhhh….. I still can’t reproduce this error using “Luminescence LiteVersion: 1.1.9”

Do you have any custom templates in your themes folder?

eg. \wp-content\themes\luminescence-lite\bbpress

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 7 months ago]

It does work fine with WordPress 3.8 🙂

We should also update bbPress to also say “Compatible up to: 3.8” rather than the current 3.6.1 😉

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 7 months ago]

I have used this plugin to test email, seems to test what’s needed.

Remember to deactivate/delete it after you have done your testing.

The classes are set by the following:

<body class="forum-archive bbpress archive... <- bbp_is_forum_archive
<body class="bbp-user-page single singular bbpress... <- bbp_is_single_user
<body class="bbp-view bbpress... <- bbp_is_single_view

When I try and do it manually on the WP admin dashboard, it also forces me to make them a user on the blog, which I don’t want. I want them to only access the forum.

bbPress users ARE WordPress users so as @ronthai points out just make the users WordPress role ‘Subscriber’ to which point you may as well just use the built in users panel in your WordPress admin.

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 7 months ago]

– Open up the WordPress admin users section
– Click delete on imported_LinDan94
– Check the box “Attribute all posts to:”
– Select the username LinDan94 from the dropdown
– Click ‘Confirm Deletion’

Yes, they work really well together, actually developed side by side most of the time.

As it is used in many spots I would suggest you add the translation now.

Most of these translations only happened in the past two days so I would expect you won’t have to wait long for the translations to be updated.

Once you translate that string fill out this form https://he.wordpress.org/contact/

More info is also here in Hebrew https://he.wordpress.org/translate-wordpress/

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 7 months ago]

You can I think… Add the translation “Topic Status” as I linked to above.

Then at the bottom of that screen you can select ‘Export’, though the dropdowns to the right you want to select “only matching the filter” then to right select “Portable Object Message Catalog (.po)” and then click the ‘export’ link on the left, save this file as bbpress-he.po then select “Machine Object Message Catalog (.mo)” and click ‘export’ again and save this file as bbpress-he.mo and then using FTP upload both these files to /wp-content/languages/bbpress/ and you evertyhting should be perfect. 🙂

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 7 months ago]

It looks like “Topic Status” has not been translated yet 🙁

Hebrew 91% Translated 943 Strings Translated 92 Strings untranslated

https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/dev/he/default?filters%5Bstatus%5D=untranslated&sort%5Bby%5D=priority&sort%5Bhow%5D=desc

You could help by translating those 91 remaining strings and then fill out the form here and let them know “There are some strings for bbPress waiting to be validated”, once these are approved you can update your translations.

Note: In the very near future any updated translations will arrive via WordPress’ automatic updates 🙂

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 7 months ago]

If you are talking about this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-threaded-replies/ then you are probably correct as “threaded replies” are now build into bbPress.

I am sorry but http://megm.wpengine.com/forums/topic/hello-world/ October 29, 2013 at 10:39 pm was NOT created a couple of days ago.

You have all kinds of stuff installed on this site and that is breaking it.

Nice, thanks for the follow up 🙂

I see this at the bottom of your site when viewing a topic

add_shortcode( 'member', 'member_check_shortcode' ); function member_check_shortcode( $atts, $content = null ) { if ( is_user_logged_in() && !is_null( $content ) && !is_feed() ) return $content; return ''; }

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 7 months ago]

What theme are you using?

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 7 months ago]

This is not even a new test site as you mention above, this is still your old test site from that article I linked to above.

Whatever previous hacks and or workarounds you have added are most likely still in place causing the issue, delete that entire site and database and start with a clean slate, install WordPress with a clean database then install bbPress.

bbPress does not have groups. BuddyPress does have groups 😉

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 7 months ago]

Maybe this plugin will do what you want 🙂

bbPress Protected Forums adds a metabox, shown while editing a forum, that allows you to disable new topic creation for determined user roles. The plugin is perfect for those situations that you may want your users to see the list of topics of a forum but don’t want them to create new topics.

@david7h6 What shortcode is broken?

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 7 months ago]

Where do see the error? It must be in another area to where I am looking :/

I don’t see it when creating a new topic or a new reply to an existing topic.

Try bbp_is_anonymous to check if it’s an anonymous user before outputting the post count.
