In reply to: Trying to Convert Mingle to bbpress
Did you use single or double quotes around
wp_
?The error you show above showing the error as
\”wp_\”forum_forums
is an odd one, if things were working correctly I would expect the error to look more like thiswp_forum_forums
.Open up your
wp-config.php
file again:// ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** // /** The name of the database for WordPress */ define('DB_NAME', 'database_name_here'); /** MySQL database username */ define('DB_USER', 'username_here'); /** MySQL database password */ define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password_here'); /** MySQL hostname */ define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
Make sure the values above are the ones you are using on the bbPress import settings and that you select
Mingle
as the import type.If you still have the same issue you might have to have a chat with your web host to see if there is some extra SQL settings needed by them.
In reply to: lokalization (russification) problemThey should be renamed to
bbpress-ru_RU.po
&bbpress-ru_RU.mo
They should go here ->/wp-content/languages/bbpress/
(If you put them in/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/languages
they will be deleted when bbPress is updated)Full details are here -> https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/
And Russian here -> https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/russian-%d1%80%d1%83%d1%81%d1%81%d0%ba%d0%b8%d0%b9-ru_ru/
In reply to: Trying to Convert Mingle to bbpressIt looks like you used
wp_forums_\
as the table prefix on the importer settings, as a quick guess I think it should bewp_
Edit: You can confirm what this value should be by opening the
wp-config.php
file in the root of the WordPress install that has Mingle forums installed./** * WordPress Database Table prefix. * * You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique * prefix. Only numbers, letters, and underscores please! */ $table_prefix = 'wp_';
In reply to: phpBB Import speedTypically the
-----
dashes occur once you are no longer logged into your site, opening up another page and refreshing it every 2-3 hours eg. http://example.com/wp-admin/index.php should get you around this issue.As long as you don’t hit memory issues drop the delay time from the default
1
second down to0.1
.I’d have at a guess the 5,000 & 10,000 settings you tried might have actually been too much, I’d love to be able to get some more SQL debug messages into the output display though to achieve this much of the importer needs to be rewritten so that will happen in a future release.
Down the track I’d like to write some bash scripts to do this directly (using WP-CLI) but this is a way down the track and is not planned at this stage.
Thanks for this and yes, confirmed 🙁
I have added a patch to the bbPress Trac Ticket #2472
I also added the full
Mingle.php
with the patch included, could you download this and test it.It should fix both the issue where multiple topics have the same title and also renamed topics.
In reply to: Internal Server Error creating new postThe only other thing I can think of is switch to the Twenty Twelve theme, disable all your plugins and go for a look around your site. If you don’t see the issue elsewhere now enable BudddyPress, how about now? Next enable bbPress, now? Back to your theme, check again, enable each of your plugins one by one.
In reply to: Internal Server Error creating new postI’m not seeing this on any of my installs, try running the ‘Repair BuddyPress Group Forum relationships’ repair tool https://codex.bbpress.org/repair-forums/
I am not that familar with
mod_fcgid
but a quick search landed me here if that might help
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/500-internal-error-when-creating-package?replies=6#post-4873684Dropbox are using the old bbPress ‘Standalone’ 1.x version with some custom theming, though I wouldn’t recommend installing this old version as I am quite sure they have lots of customizations in the backend to get around the known numerous issues with the old version.
Go with the new version https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/installation/
Then start customizing the templates to the style you want
https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/In reply to: Auto Role not workingJust FYI for anyone else who sees this topic:
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.
In reply to: phpbb import hanging?Same problem, it’s just hanging.
What stage do you get to though now?
(As you shouldn’t be seeing “Delete users WordPress default passwords Deleting previously converted data” etc)“Deleting Conversion Table… Failed”
This is fine, it just depends on if bbPress used a conversion table to do the conversion or it used the source database tables correctly.
As well as the actual users there are a lot of bots etc. (e.g. AdsBot Google, Ask Jeeves Bot)
These are special phpBB user accounts that I haven’t found a way to ignore importing just yet and must be manually removed after importing, see the follwing for a list of them all.
https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/phpbb/In reply to: Imported topics: listed but not found. Help!Are you using the WXR Importer?
There was a ‘Google Summer of Code’ project recently and the WordPress importer was forked and updated, if you have issues with the standard version maybe give that a try.
Details and links can be found via https://make.wordpress.org/core/author/frederickding/
In reply to: Replies not assigned to correct UserIf you don’t see something like this then something else is messing with you 😉
What other plugins are you using that might be altering your users panel?
In reply to: Imported topics: listed but not found. Help!Run each of the Repair Tools one by one 🙂
https://codex.bbpress.org/repair-forums/In reply to: Installing & Activating A bbpress ThemeThat theme you are trying to install ‘Static-Blue-BB’ is for the old standalone version of bbPress and will not work with the current version of bbPress 2.x Plugin for WordPress.
bbPress now use’s your WordPress theme, i.e. your ‘main theme’, if you want to tweak the templates of your theme click the ‘themes’ link at the top of this page and follow the link there.
In reply to: slug permalinks can lead to db problemsClosing this topic as it relates to the old standalone bbPress v0.9/v1.2x version of bbPress.
None of this information is valid for the current bbPress v2.x Plugin for WordPress.
In reply to: MySQL Indexes for Improved BBPress PerformancebbPress uses WordPress ‘Custom Post Types’ so there are not any bbPress tables to index.
That said we are looking to improve the performance with bbPress in a few areas, take a look at Trac Ticket #1925 for further reading 🙂
In reply to: Replies not assigned to correct UserDid you import the users twice?
Presumably you should see
user1
&imported_user1
in wp-admin user panel?You should be able to delete
imported_user1
and it will prompt you to attribute everything touser1
via a dropdown selector.In reply to: phpbb3 import incomplete and switches authorsThanks for the update, if I get time I might take a peek at the ‘Kiss Portal’ mod for phpBB, it would be nice to finally get your forums imported into bbPress after soooooo much time. It took me a good 6 months to get my original site from phpBB to bbPress and now I write all the forum converters 😉
In reply to: phpbb import hanging?Do not check the following setting:
Purge Previous Import Purge all information from a previously attempted import
Do check the following setting:
Start Over Start a fresh conversion from the beginning
There is something weird going on with the above that ‘Purge Previous Import’ setting that I am looking into, it works for some and not others and is really bugging me 🙁
In between imports if it doesn’t finish and you need to try again you will manually have to delete the imported users from the WordPress User admin panel and reset bbPress’ forums as per https://codex.bbpress.org/reset-forums/.
In reply to: SMF Import to bbPressAwesome everyone, there are still a couple of the regex expressions I need to fix, otherwise it would be commited to /trunk of bbPress now 😉 hopefully I will get these fixed tomorrow. 🙂
In reply to: Kunena converter for bbPress 2.4@stagger-lee Thanks for taking another look at this, most appreciated. 🙂
I have a couple of ideas that I will try tomorrow and that should also include the removal of the hard-coded
jos_
prefix.Out of curiousity did you use Kunena2.php or Kunena3.php this time round?
In reply to: Non-members can view private forumsThanks heaps for this, I can see what you mean and I will go do some more testing and work on a patch for it.
In reply to: Visual Editor@jaredatch/ has an update for this plugin that hasn’t been pushed live yet.

Do you have the Akismet plugin activated and have a valid API key?
https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugins/AkismetIn reply to: Kunena converter for bbPress 2.4I have just commited the three versions of Kunena bbPress importer for bbPress 2.5
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/includes/admin/converters
Kunena1.php for Kunena v1.x Forums
Kunena2.php for Kunena v2.x Forums
Kunena3.php for Kunena v3.x ForumsIf you could all give them some tests and let me know if it works or doesn’t work that would be great.
