In reply to: Site formatting -styling
I am finally getting my forums back on track after a major issue with the group forums. I still need help with styling as the default theme does not seem to work for me unless it is suppose to look like crap. The link to my site is in the post above this one as I didn’t want to post it again. I can’t post an image of it or I would do that as well.
Can someone help me get this thing looking the right way?
Thanks.
In reply to: bbPress 2.0 – Updates@gautam is there a specific converter from phpbb to bbpress convertor other than the one I mentioned?
Just so you all know, I was able to work out my issue I mentioned. So that one does work. Have not tried the new plug in. Maybe later on.
In reply to: bbPress 2.0 – UpdatesI am sure there will be new ones but there is one out there which does work.
That can be located in the
I found that when looking for a solution to move a vbulletin forum to bbpress beings I was in the midst of changing to wordpress for all of my sites functions.
That link is here – http://www.ericm.ca/2010/05/31/vbulletin-4-to-bbpress-and-wordpress-integration/
As long as you are doing it per the instructions, it works perfect. I have done it twice now on test sites. The only glitch I hit was on my new site the WP and BBP integration is already there so I don’t have a bb_users table which is the first thing the converter is looking for. I was going to ask for some help with that from the maker as I have by forums and users stuck now in a PHPBB forum and can not get them into WP or BBP as far as I can tell.
I have no idea how all that will play with the new plugin but I am hoping to get my site on track and then move to the plugin at some point.
Hope this helps.
In reply to: bbPress 2.0 – Updatesbeen following this for sometime as I am in the midst of converting a vbulletin site over to wordpress/buddypress. The forums are a huge part of that and I was told to look into bbpress. Initially I wasn’t to happy but it seemed like the better option based on the relationship between all the top people involved in all the WP, BP, BB family. I did actually find a way to get the users and data over to bbpress on a test site. I am about to look into that again for the new site beings we are now ready to get that open to the public. Before I do that though, I am curious as to how the stand alone will integrate into the plug in. I am reading things in this thread and see mention that is might not be ready as of yet?
Also, how do I get the plugin itself to test out? I see mention of it being uploaded on wordpress repository??? Is that not the main area there?
Tried searching and only some other thing came up.
Please post a link if it is something everyone can test out as it would be helpful for the development of my site.
Thanks.
In reply to: Locked out of mysite after doing WP Integration@JohnJamesJacoby – wp_users table has an account with user id 1 and my correct username.
wp_usermeta has user id 1 with capabilities of administrator.
Not sure what other info you need as you lost me with this serialized data thing.
I do appreciate your help with this.
Thank you.

In reply to: Locked out of mysite after doing WP Integration@JohnJamesJacoby – without a doubt there is surely trouble a stirring with all that. I guess I was hoping for a miracle.
Yes I have access to the database.

In reply to: Lost administrator upon integration with WPMUthis seems to be an issue many have had and still having. Ran into this myself and still haven’t gotten it figured out. I am not actually blocked out of the bbpress site altogether. Not seeing many thoughts on how to fix this issue though which is scary.

In reply to: phpbb3 -> bbpress converterjust gave this a shot and got a general error. Said I had a syntax error in a certain line. Can not get passed that point and haven’t a clue how to correct it.
Tried once to go back and restart the process and when it came to the same point he says now I have a duplicate. Makes sense if it had already added some info to the database.
If anything has some ideas I would appreciate the help.
Thanks.
