Have you tried using one of the WordPress bundled themes (Tweny Twelve, Eleven, Thirteen etc) ?

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 10 months ago]

BuddyPress’ forums are powered by bbPress. BuddyPress doesn’t include forums.

I am not familiar enough to answer the ‘images in activity’ hopefully you can find something on https://buddypress.org/support/

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 10 months ago]

I cannot reproduce this. Can you give us a link to your site with links to user profiles that have favorites showing the bug you mention.

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 10 months ago]

The problem I cannot seem to solve is – where to get the name of the forum from? Without getting the name of the forum from somewhere in the database

The ONLY place the forum name exists is in the database :/

Just include the forum name and forum id into your logic, each topics `post_parent’ points to the parent forum id and then you can get the forum name at the same time.

SELECT * FROM wp_posts WHERE post_type = ‘forum’

Yeah, nearly there, some suggestions for what some of those content conversions should be and testing to see if I missed any would be extremely helpful.

I am pretty sure it is generated from /trunk but I can’t 100% confirm that.

Looks like the last thing needed now for SMF v2.x is converting any custom HTML/BBCodes for topic/reply content.

From my tests the following BBCodes are converting fine:

• [url]
• [img]
• [email]
• [b] – bold
• [i] – italic
• [u] – underline
• [s] – strikethrough
• [left]– left aligned
• [center] – centre aligned
• [right] – right align
• [font=fontname] – fonts
• [color=colorname] – color name
• [color=#FFFFFF] – color hex value
• [sup] – superscript
• [sub] – subscript
• [quote] – quote

The following need to be converted by regex strings during import:

• [quote author=SMF Admin link=topic=9.msg30#msg30 date=1380330453] – Quoting a post, username, post id & date support needs to be added.
• [pre] – pre formatted text
• [code] – partially working
• [size=x] – font size
• [glow=red,2,300]Glow[/glow] – What do we want to translate this to?
• [shadow=red,left]shadow[/shadow] – What do we want to translate this to?
• [move]marquee[/move] – What do we want to translate this to?
• [tt] – teletype? should this be a monospaced font?
• [table], [tr] & [td] – tables and closing tags
• [list] – unordered list
• [list=decimal] – ordered list
• [li] – list item
• [hr] – horizonal rule

SMF Smilies Working (extra space added so these render in code block)

• 🙂 : )
• 😉 ; )
• 😀 : D
• 🙁 : (
• 😮 : o
• 😛 : P

SMF Smilies not working

• ;D ;D
• >:( >:(
• 8) 8)
• ??? ???
• ::) ::)
• :-[ :-[
• -X :-X
• :-\ :-\
• :-* :-*
• :’;( :'(

What should the above be converted to with the smilies included with WordPress?

Have I missed any BBCode and/or other ‘stuff’ that isn’t getting converted correctly during the SMF import?

@remcob00 What can I say… AWESOME, thank you, tested and working magnificently 🙂

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 10 months ago]

Glad it helped 🙂

With the dropdown list, even though it is slow you can type the username to get you there quicker without relying on the mouse for 100%, once the dropdown is showing start typing the name, you have to type fast to get more than two or three characters but it is helpful.

The other option you have is to modify the entries directly in phpMyAdmin

UPDATE wp_posts SET post_author = 123 WHERE post_author = 789;
Where 123 is the new user id you want to attribute to the old user id 789

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 10 months ago]

There are a couple of plugins that help with this and ‘Forum Topic notifications’ are coming to bbPress 2.5 https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2299

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 10 months ago]

Details of this are here https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2443

Anyone else have some thoughts on this? Add to the discussion on Trac 🙂

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 10 months ago]

How about this http://phpdoc.ftwr.co.uk/bbpress-plugin/ ?

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 10 months ago]

is_bbpress() is what your looking for.

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 10 months ago]

Sage words? Nope 😉

I had a quick look around https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=bulk+users and nothing really stood out.

The most users I have played around with is ~4,000 and that was too many also for the WordPress admin dashboard. I ended up doing everything I needed directly in phpMyAdmin with SQL queries.

A way to delete users an reattribute their posts/topics/replies to another user (mainly for a handful of folks who already had accounts on the WordPress side before migrating vBulletin over)

With only a handful of these use WordPress’ built in user delete tool, when you select to delete a user you have the option to delete all posts (including topics & replies) or keep them an attribute them to another user.

A way to “nuke” users who have spammed the forums. This would delete the user as well as all of their topics and replies.

First you are going to have to find the spam and record each user id associated and this is painful indeed! I am not to sure on the specifics but there probably is a way to get Akismet to check all of this for you.

A way to purge all users with no forum topics or replies (or posts, for that matter).

I think the quickest way for this would be in phpMyAdmin directly using an SQL query.
The query (Good to verify this stuff before you delete them)

SELECT ID FROM wp_users
WHERE ID NOT IN (SELECT DISTINCT post_author FROM wp_posts);

The delete queries (Any user without a post gets deleted)
DELETE FROM wp_usermeta WHERE user_id NOT IN (SELECT DISTINCT post_author FROM wp_posts);
DELETE FROM wp_users WHERE ID NOT IN (SELECT DISTINCT post_author FROM wp_posts);

I can’t see the images in your original post nor access any links to your domain http://genvines.com/

Forbidden

You don’t have permission to access /discussion on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 10 months ago]

I don’t have any issues with search widget.

I can’t see your forums

Bandwidth Limit Exceeded

The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to the site owner reaching his/her bandwidth limit. Please try again later.

Possibly try resaving your permalinks:

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

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 10 months ago]

You shouldn’t have any as ‘anonymous’ unless for some reason the importer couldn’t convert a user for some reason, maybe because no email address with their old forum profile. This really shouldn’t be happening and if it is we need to have a look as to why this is happening and fix it.

I also presume you ran the repair tools after importing?
https://codex.bbpress.org/repair-forums/

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 10 months ago]

This issue typically comes up when people are testing the import to bbPress. If you import the users and forums, topics, replies etc then reset bbPress only the forums, topics, topic tags and replies are deleted. bbPress does not delete the imported users as the user account may have additional WordPress roles (eg. Author) and has blog posts or comments on blog posts etc and we don’t want bbPress deleting content that isn’t its own.

Ideally you would have a test site for WordPress & bbPress to test the importer and once you are happy with everything get bbPress installed on your primary WordPress site, disable your existing forums and import into bbPress ‘all the things’ and be up and running from then on with bbPress.

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 10 months ago]

It will keep the existing topic open for new replies, it just moves the reply that is ‘off topic’ to a new topic.

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 10 months ago]

You will find your user profiles at the following URL (Swap example.com for your domain)

http://example.com/forums/profile/username/

Also any username prefixed with imported_ eg. imported_username is because the user name username was already taken in WordPress. If both imported_username and username users are the same user go to the WordPress dashboards ‘User Panel’ and when you select the imported_username to be deleted you will be prompted to attribute all existing posts, topics, replies etc to another user, select the user username and now all posts, topics, replies etc will be under the single user username.

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 10 months ago]

The only tables you need are the ones you listed above:

• forum
• thread
• post
• tagcontent
• tag
• user

You may have a table prefix vb_ on your tables and you enter that on the import settings ‘Table Prefix’ field.

What version of vBulletin are you importing from?
