You should see Starting conversion in seconds.
Next Converting users in another second if your converting your users.
Next ‘Converting forums` in seconds if not converting users.
By default everything is done in chunks of 100 records and this should never really take much longer than 5 seconds per chunk at which point you will see the converter message progress to Converting topics 300 - 399 then Converting topics 400 - 499 etc, you should never be far away from a new message informing you of the status of the import.
I’ll try to get some more docs into the ‘import screen’ for bbPress 2.5 to give people a heads up on what they should expect to see.
As you are on a dedicated server this topic might be worth checking out on ‘speeding it up’
phpBB Import speed
Firstly though lets get it started…
Via FTP grab a copy of your SMF Settings.php file and open it up in a text editor.
/public_html/mywebsite/smf/Settings.php
In that file something that looks like this:
########## Database Info ##########
$db_type = 'mysql';
$db_server = 'localhost';
$db_name = 'mydb_name';
$db_user = 'mydb_usernam';
$db_passwd = '123456789';
$ssi_db_user = '';
$ssi_db_passwd = '';
$db_prefix = 'smf_';
These are the settings you need to use on the bbPress importer.
ps. Thanks @manuxel for helping others out here with the SMF importer 🙂
There is something strange going on here.
I suggest you delete the bbPress plugin from the plugins section of your WordPress install.
Verify that Jetpack is working correctly.
Now download bbPress and install it again. https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/
bbPress is purposely limited to list only 50 forums at a time.
See this post for more information and context:
Next & Previous page links not working on Forums page
Edit: bbPress is not limited to 50 forums, only 50 forums at a time can be displayed by design.
Ok, I see what your trying to achieve.
Create a ticket on Trac for this http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org
No, there isn’t, the shortcodes included with bbPress -> https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/
You can append ?view=all if you are a moderator or keymaster in various places though.
http://example.com/forums/profile/username/topics?view=all
http://example.com/forums/forum/myforum?view=all
Run the repair tools and your 4 topics should come back
https://codex.bbpress.org/repair-forums/
Each ‘BuddyPress Group’ can only have one (1) forum attached to the BuddyPress Group.
So when looking at eg http://localhost/mynewdomain/groups/test-group/forum/ there will only ever be 1 forum maximum displayed there, the one forum attached to that one group.
If you want to see the full forums list you need to add a link on your primary menu to http://localhost/mynewdomain/forums/
Awesome, looks great 🙂
Search appears to work fine for me
Adding this to your themes functions.php will also get your list verticle 😉
function your_custom_bbp_list_forums() {
$args['separator'] = '<br />';
return $args;
}
add_filter('bbp_before_list_forums_parse_args', 'your_custom_bbp_list_forums' );
WordPress sends emails for user registration not bbPress. I suggest you check to see if emails are being sent for blog post notifications and/or new comments etc and post to https://wordpress.org/support/ if you need more help troubleshooting your WP install. You should also check with your web host that there are no issues on that side of things.
Additionally I have it set up for new users to be assigned the role of “participant” for the forums, and when they register no role is selected for them until I change it manually. I am running bbpress
The forum role is not actually set until the user logs in for the first time at which time they will then be assigned the role defined in the settings.
It sounds more like a job for the P2 theme rather than bbPress 😉

Does this fix it?
Recalculate the sticky relationship of each topic
https://codex.bbpress.org/repair-forums/
Thanks 🙂
Yes, I see this on your site, I just can’t reproduce it.
There are a couple of improvements that can be done for the ‘Reply Widget’ code so I will go and implement that and do some more testing.
Longshot here, removing and adding the widget from your site. 😉 Delete the widget from your footer sidebar and any other instances of the widget in the ‘Inactive Widgets’ section. Now add the widget back again? How did that go?
I am not seeing this myself, can you run each of the ‘Repair Tools’ one by one and let me know if this fixes this for you.
https://codex.bbpress.org/repair-forums/
You should be able to logout log back in again (just to forcibly confirm that with WordPress), enter the same details on the bbPress import settings you used 5,000/0.2 etc and just click ‘Start’ and it will resume from where it left off.
DO NOT USE ANY QUOTES, just use wp_
All of what you mention in that a huge list of forums is not the ideal user experience so break that list of forums into some categories was the decision made. 😉
https://wordpress.org/about/philosophy/
Decisions, not Options
When making decisions these are the users we consider first. A great example of this consideration is software options. Every time you give a user an option, you are asking them to make a decision. When a user doesn’t care or understand the option this ultimately leads to frustration. As developers we sometimes feel that providing options for everything is a good thing, you can never have too many choices, right? Ultimately these choices end up being technical ones, choices that the average end user has no interest in. It’s our duty as developers to make smart design decisions and avoid putting the weight of technical choices on our end users.
Cool, got it, your issue is because you have more than 50 forums.
Purposely limited to 50 forums. If your site has that many main forums or subforums, it’s time to reconsider your categorization strategy.
See https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1997
Got a link to your site/s and I will take a look.
Go to your BuddyPress settings /wp-admin/admin.php?page=bp-settings
And toggle the setting ‘Blog & Forum Comments – Allow activity stream commenting on blog and forum posts’
https://codex.bbpress.org/forum-settings/#forum-user-settings
Disallow editing after
Set this to the time (in number of minutes) to limit post editing. Once the time limit has been reached the forum post no longer be available for editing to forum participants. Administrators and bbPress Moderators can override this setting at any time.
You should also see the ‘EDIT’ (and other tools) like this:
This could be an issue with your rewrite rules. To fix this try resetting your permalinks. In your WordPress Administration Screens navigate to Settings > Permalinks, select a different permalink structure and save. Then select your preferred permalink structure and save again.
Also try the repair tools https://codex.bbpress.org/repair-forums/
