I think you have your forums set as private

In dashboard>forums>all forums>edit forum you can change a forum to be public.

If this is not the case come back.

There is not a specific importer for Microsoft dynamics 365, but importing from a sql database is possible if you know where the data is stored.

If you download bbpress, you can find an example importer in

includes/admin/convertors/example.php

if you can map where the data is in the source, then this can be tailored to import

Sorry that did not translate well, can you try again

bbpress powers some very large forums, including this one.

Performance could be down to many many factors, and I’m not sure that we can help.

[Robin W]

what version of MySQL are you on ?

[Robin W]

I don’t understand quite what ‘bbPress Forum Redirect’ does – the plugin page seems to say it just takes you to an external site?

1. What are you putting into the url on the metabox,
2. I don’t understand what the user is doing can you give an example of what they are clicking/typing to start
3. Can you then say what happens without and what happens with that is different ?

[Robin W]

what other plugins do you have ?

[Robin W]

There are miscreants out there who just have bad things on their minds.

[Robin W]

if you want to restrict to just registered users, then simply set the forum to private

dashboard>setting>forums>all forums>edit forum and just set to private on then right hand side.

If you want something more complex, then my private groups plugin gives lots of granularity

Private groups

thanks

[Robin W]

that link shows no topics.

But if you can give me a link with an example, then I can help

[Robin W]

ok, I’ve done a very basic version in my style pack plugin, which would let you use a shortcode in say a widget.

bbp style pack

once installed go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>shortcodes and see the last one

In our case, we have only 5 forums and we were thinking it would be nice to show the same information available in the “Forums” section in the backend of WordPress where it displays a column of the number of subscribers for each forum.

Pascals tollkit will show the number of sucsbribers in the backend as a column

bbP Toolkit

I need to do much more to do what you want for the rest.

[Robin W]

ok, I played with this for a while, and any solution would be site/theme specific and beyond free help I’m afraid.

[Robin W]

@netweb

Did you do a bbpress to bbpress importer? I know it was mentioned some time ago.

[Robin W]

Possible? – not without a load of bespoke code – I’m afraid

[Robin W]

forums have breadcrumbs to help navigation.

Yours appear to be switch off, possible by your theme?

[Robin W]

ok, just posting for anyone searching in future

THIS IS A WORKING VERSION

This code allows a standard gravity form lets it be saved as a gravity forum, but on saving also creates a new topic form for a specific forum

add_action( 'gform_after_submission', 'set_post_content', 10, 2 );

function set_post_content( $entry, $form ) {
	//set the forum ID that the topic will be saved to
	$forum_ID = '31086' ;
	
	if (!function_exists('bbp_insert_topic')) {
            require_once '/includes/topics/functions.php';
        }
		
		//getting post
		$post_form = get_post($entry['post_id']) ;
		$title = $post_form->post_title;
		$content = $post_form->post_content;

        // The topic data.
        $topic_data = array(
        'post_parent'       => $forum_ID, // forum ID of Projects  hard coded
        'post_status'       => bbp_get_public_status_id(),   // Subscribed users can see this
        'post_content'      => $content,
        'post_title'        => $title,
        'comment_status'    => 'open',
        'menu_order'        => 0
        );

        // The topic meta.
        $topic_meta = array(
        'forum_id'    =>  $forum_ID,
        'reply_count' => 0
		);

        $post_id = bbp_insert_topic($topic_data, $topic_meta);
           
}

[Robin W]

ok, we need to do some tests

can you contact me via my website

http://www.rewweb.co.uk

[Robin W]

@jkw217 if you can confirm my post above – ie

can you confirm that

“5 random reply posts that arent working:
– all have ‘0’ for post_parent.
– all have a postmeta _bbp_topic_id #

I need to know that you

a) have EXACTLY the same problem and
b) have the postmeta as above

then I can give you some code

[Robin W]

what widget are you using to see that list ?

[Robin W]

can you confirm that

5 random reply posts that arent working:
– all have ‘0’ for post_parent.
– all have a postmeta _bbp_topic_id #

and I can give you some code

[Robin W]

or you could link to the ‘forum’ class as it is just before the title

eg

.forum::before { 
     content: "Read this: ";
} 

[Robin W]

As it’s above the title, then it’s before bbpress kicks in.

you could try

if (is_bbpress) {
echo 'hello' ;
}

but may not work

Or try to add something to your theme page.php or equivalent before the title
Something like (this won’t work it’s just to start you off!)

$array = (2925, 3567,4567) ;
if (in_array ($page_id, $array)) {
echo 'hello' ;
}

where 2925 etc are forum ID’s

[Robin W]

dashboard>topics>all topics>edit the topic and amend the forum on the right hand side.

@strike3 -sincere apologies for not getting back to you – your response slipped through the net.

Glad you are fixed, and thanks for posting the link
