In reply to: Importing large Vanilla Forum to bbPress – Speed
Another option you have is to install a ‘RAM Drive’ just for the MySQL data using symbolic links for the MySQL data store (make sure you regularly copy & backup this data) and this will vastly improve performance over any mechanical hard disk.

In reply to: Importing large Vanilla Forum to bbPress – SpeedI just had a quick look at the SQL queries for both topics and replies and they are both very similar and the time per 100 records should not differ greatly.
It might be that the ‘posts’ table might have some SQL overhead and the table needs to be ‘optimized’, your web host should have an FAQ detailing how to ‘optimize’ your database tables with phpMyAdmin.
In reply to: Importing large Vanilla Forum to bbPress – SpeedSeems a little strange, some recent vBulletin conversions here have been a similar size and completed circa 6-7 hours.
As long as your web host MySQL is up to scratch (presumably so as per your existing Vanilla forum size) you should be able to reduce the delay from 3 seconds down to 1 or even 0.5 or 0.1 if you are doing it locally. This will reduce the time between each SQL query.
Did the importer stall or was it still plodding along eg. ‘Converting replies 21,800 – 21,900’
In reply to: bbPress Mobile Tweak neededbbPress 2.4 is not far away, download the release candidate from here:
There was a lot of cool work done to make bbPress responsive as detailed
in Ticket #1933.In reply to: Help with migrated phpBB forumCategories are currently only imported as a forum type and each of these can be changed in WP-admin forums panel.
Sub-forums in phpBB and bbPress are all just forums with a parent forum for the forum hierarchy, these can be changed re-ordered etc also in WP-admin forums panel.
Your forum title ‘Obutto’ is just a title name for the site, you can set the title of your WordPress site title in WP-admin.
In reply to: WXR importing best practices?Take a look at the GSoC project by @frederickding
It’s an update to the WXR importer, I haven’t tried/tested this yet to see what’s different or how well it works with bbPress, but it looks promising.

If you do give it a try I’d love to hear any feedback you have.

In reply to: MyBB Import to bbPressPrivate messages are not imported as bbPress cannot handle PM’s at this stage…
It would be nice to import them into a compatible format for BuddyPress down the track 😉

Yes, just tedious with hundreds/thousands of imported_users.Agreed, I can only hack the URL of the WordPress admin dashboard to get me ~250 users at a time and yes it is tedious and in the past I have done most of this directly in phpMyAdmin with SQL.
Great news that the conversion finished 🙂
The post counts in the backend and frontend should match so that has me a little curious to what is going on with that… Any chance you could post a couple of screenshots showing those numbers?
Thanks for the testing offer, I’ll let you know 🙂
In reply to: vBulletin to bbPress questionsCool… I Try to subscribe to all the importer topics here but occasionally miss some.
As to any ‘imported_username’ this is a feature of the importer so if a user already exists with that username an additional username is created with the prefix ‘imported_’ in front of the username. If you go to the WordPress User admin and select the ‘imported_username’ user and select delete on that user you will then be prompted to delete the user but attribute all posts to another user, select the original (i.e Non ‘imported_’ username) and all their posts, topics, replies etc will then be attributed to that user.
In reply to: vBulletin to bbPress questions@mchl Excellent that you now have a working migration. I don’t know of any outstanding issues for any {{{wp_insert_post}}} memory leak, now could I see any issue regarding this in WP Trac.
@leahcar8 Looks like your getting closer and closer to getting there too 🙂I am doing lots of work on all ~20 importers at the moment that with all this feedback I will try to look at optimizing both the importer and the SQL queries used for inclusion in bbPress 2.5.
All these little gotchyas, tips, tricks and feedback is extremely helpful so I will also get the docs updated to include as much of this info to. 🙂
In reply to: How to Enable Post Preview?No, by default bbPress does not have a ‘post preview’ feature at this stage.
There are various plugins for using different editors and some are compatible with bbPress and some have a post preview.
Take a look around https://wordpress.org/plugins/ and see if anything is suitable.
In reply to: import attachments from phpbb3No there is not, bbPress does not support attachments.
Edit: If the image was part of the original post with using the BBCode [img] then that IS imported as part of the post, if the image was an attachment to the post then it is not imported.
In reply to: Put each subforum on own line?Your going to have to use
$args['separator'] = ' ';(Either a blank space or empty) and then use some CSS to style thebbp-forum-listelement.In reply to: WordPress categories as bbpress categories or forumI haven’t seen a plugin to do this…
There is this one https://github.com/jmdodd/bbpress-topic-post-converter but that does topics to posts… Maybe you could fork it and make it go the other way 🙂
In reply to: Linking WordPress Posts and bbpress TopicsHave a look/search in the plugin section https://bbpress.org/plugins/
There are a couple from memory.
In reply to: Intranet integrationIf you can set WordPress up that way then bbPress should also work fine using the WordPress setup as bbPress uses WordPress for all user authentications.
I would suggest searching around the WordPress support forums and/or plugins for a solution

In reply to: BBPress – Multiple Alias for admin – PluginI am sure there are a few in the WordPress Plugins
In reply to: Put each subforum on own line?You kind of only have two options, the default bbPress behaviour like this:
- My Parent Category/Forum
- My 1st Child Forum (78, 425), My 2nd Child Forum (18, 107)
Or using the
<br />as the separator:- My Parent Category/Forum
- My 1st Child Forum (78, 425)
- My 2nd Child Forum (18, 107)
Each element is returned as a whole so
My 1st Child Forum (78, 425)andMy 2nd Child Forum (18, 107)CANNOT be broken down further for multiple columns like this (which I think you are alluding to:My Parent Category/Forum
My 1st Child Forum–78–425My 2nd Child Forum–18–107
In reply to: bbPress Moderation plugin – Maintainer requiredThanks 🙂 The latest v1.8 update is looking good 🙂
In reply to: vBulletin to bbPress questionsTo be honest, I don’t know what the dashes mean, I have seen them myself and tried to duplicate the issue so we can ‘fix it’ but it happens so rarely to me I haven’t been able to find the ‘problem’ to create a ‘fix’.
I do think once ‘the dashes’ do appear there is no easy way to recover from it though without restarting everything…
With imports as big as yours they take a very long time and is frustrating to start an import and many hours later find it didn’t work, change one setting and start the waiting game again!
So before I go through a few options, a couple of questions:
- What is your skill level of MySQL?
- Are you comfortable using phpMyAdmin?
- You live in phpMyAdmin!
- You dream MySQL queries in your sleep!
- What is your skill level of Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP?
- Could you setup a local LAMP install on your ‘puter?
- I already have a local LAMP install!
- I have a LAMP install with a 4GB MySQL RAM Drive!
In reply to: URL in email is incorrectIf any of the emails need to link to either
wp-login.phpor/wp-adminthen based on these two lines from your .htaccess file ‘something’ will happen 😉 I am not familiar enough with .htaccess and mod_rewrite to know this stuff of the top of my head 😉RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/wp-login\.php(.*)$ [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/wp-admin$In reply to: URL in email is incorrectWordPress should be able to automatically update your .htacess file which it looks like it is based on the last ~11 lines of your post above. Those first ~9 lines though could be the problem as it looks like they are from another WordPress plugin or added by your webhost.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Automatically_updating_.htaccess
If you don’t know what plugin is adding the extra bits to your .htaccess file try disabling all of your plugins except bbPress, go back to your WordPress permalinks settings and update the settings again which forces WordPress to update your .htaccess file and see how that goes.
