    @arutam
    thanks for posting that -looks like a good solution ! 🙂

    I know of nothing that will do this at present.

    bbpress has many ways in, but if you are not trying to hide content if the user is a bit savvy, then you could amend loop-single-reply.php to take out the content if not logged in

    But to make it robust would be quite difficult

    great – glad you are fixed

    not sure you are asking in the right place.

    I suspect you are using an additional plugin to allow uploads of documents/images – possibly GD bbPress Attachments

    bbpress does not allow this on its own

    forums are ordered by setting their order in

    dashboard>forums>all forums>select the forum and on the right hand side you’ll find ‘forum attributes’ and in their ‘order’

    ok, thanks, I’ll ignore this one, and see if I can help further on the other one

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    ok, so just clarify, are you now fixed, or is the root still going to the wrong place?

    Thank you for apologising. Bbpress like all free open source software is written for free by people who like coding. People who like coding don’t always tend to be those who like doing support, so like much free software, they rely on community people to help in supporting. I hope that you will also feel that if you are helped in a support forum, you look to help someone else, as that is the only way that a ‘community’ can exist. If you simply just ask a question, get a response and then go away, it is hardly surprising that there is no-one helping.

    Your question would require lots of time to understand and code, so I suspect that it will not get answered. You quickest may well be to duplicate using that code and then delete those not wanted.

    the community and the help that bbpress provides s**ks completely

    well then you’d better sort it on your own – helpers here do this for free, and we’re not here to be insulted. Good luck

    looks like something is erroring

    Plugins

    Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

    Themes

    If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

    Then come back

    hmm, not suer why your bbpress.css file is in wp-content/plugins/templates rather than wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates – have you altered this?

    In essence you want to set

    .bbp-reply-author width :100% ;
    .bbp-reply-content margin : 0px;

    This will force the content to the next line, and move it to the start of that line.

    I’d also add

    #bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author img.avatar {
    position: relative;
    }

    so you’d end up with (untested)

    @media only screen and (max-width: 480px) {
    
    .bbp-reply-author  {
    width :100% ;
    }
    .bbp-reply-content {
    margin : 0px;
    }
    
    #bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author img.avatar {
    	position: relative;
    	}
    
    }

    the instructions are quite dated.

    the recent version is here

    Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

    bbpress no longer has theme’s – it uses your wordpress theme

    so are you fixed ?

    @robin-w

    Start with

    1. You should be aware that many spam filters strip messages that do not come from the correct address. So if your site is mysite.com and your email address in wordpress settings/general is fred@gmail.comthen it is likely that messages will be dumped in transit. You need to set up email to come from your site eg fred@mysite.com, your hosting provider can help if needed.
    2. Just bbpress?
    Then you need to see if this is wordpress wide or just bbpress.
    Try https://wordpress.org/plugins/check-email/
    3. Some people have fixed it with this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/asyncronous-bbpress-subscriptions/

    emails should come from noreply@etc. so if your users are replying to this, then not a lot you can do about it, apart from getting better users 🙂

    @robin-w

    so table prefix needs to be set to ‘GDN_’ – what have you got it set to?

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    ok, bbpress expects the format yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss

    When I did a custom conversion, I found it much easier to convert the source to the correct format and then import, rather than try and do it on the fly.

    so if you create a new field in your original tables, then you can put the required format in there.

    brilliant – thanks so much for posting the solution, and yes it looks like if you partner with a page and have multiple shortcodes then you may need to choose what the forum root should show.

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    can you post a link to this site and above example

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    no problem !

    great – glad you are fixed

    I am by no means a converter/import expert, this is not my area, but as no one else had responded thought I’d try and assist !

    is ‘db507177147’ related to the source or destination?

    looks from the errors as though it is the source?

    try looking at the vanilla forum and see if you do have tables called

    db507177147.Discussion
    db507177147.User

    then come back

    I don’t know what “clean theme” means, however.

    sorry lazy writing – just means a wordpress default theme with no changes – eg twentyseventeen. The ones released by wordpress are tested against bbpress.

    I’ll contact you again via email.
