    I just approved your post. You do not need to post another message. Try to keep any additional links posted to a minimum. As an alternative to posting multiple links to single images, you can just link to a gallery on a site like imgur.

    I will try to find anything that Stephen said for missing posts during import.

    Could be something that messed up during the import and stopped some posts from importing. Could be the importer template needs updating to a certain version of SMF. Heck even you might need to update because the SMF importer supports a certain version above yours.

    I will try to find out more.

    contact the theme author to see if they can find any issues first. You can also tell me what theme you are using and I will try to find where is the issue.

    it is because you are using bbPress v1, the mesocolumn theme works fine with the newer bbpress v2 plugin of WordPress.

    You would need to follow this and create a bbpress.php file and then come back and I will help you with some CSS that you might need.

    It looks like it is inheriting different templates for the forum archive and the single forums. From the looks of it the second image looks correct to me. It is displaying the title, but you have leftover post data from your theme like the extra breadcrumbs.

    If you did create a bbpress.php rename it to something like bbpressa.php so that it won’t load anymore.

    Now if you have what the file still installed, go to the forum archive or /?post_type=forum and see if the page template is different from what the General Forum page has.

    The reason why I am saying do this, is to see if bbPress could be inheriting two different templates. It would make sense if the Forum archive would use page.php or even archive.php, and in some cases the single forum pages could be inheriting single.php.

    What is the title issue exactly?? Post a link or image of the issue.

    whoops sorry I messed up the CSS a little. I edited the code above try that now.

    @robkk

    You can try that, but it usually only affects one specific page. Doing it this way means you have to put a shortcode for every bbPress page. It is easier in the end to just create a bbpress.php file in your theme from your page.php file. You can also just tell me your theme (hopefully it is not paid) then I could just do it for you.

    Not entirely sure really but I have tested themes that add next and prev post nav links to bbPress on accident and it seems to work. You may need to add the php tag to the bbPress forum templates, maybe just output it in a bbpress.php file with a condtional to only show on single forums.

    What version of bbPress are you using?? Is it the bbPress forum module in an old version of BuddyPress??

    @robkk

    Moderator

    Yeah I saw the Freshness time add up in the backend of WordPress. You might not be able to schedule topics without this happening for now. I do not know if this was really set as a feature for bbPress honestly, I think an update in WordPress adding this option and maybe bbPress hasn’t removed it on their end or fixed any issues.

    Probably needs to update table name data. You can look to see differences between that and your current database tables are.

    There should be a vBull importer in bbPress.

    The W3 Total Cache would help optimize bbPress. Of course it is more important to have high performance hardware on your site, use an opcode cache, possibly an object cache (the plugin helps add a backend file), and keeping your database tidy. Page cache can become a little tricky in some situations but it should be fine using w3 total cache with bbPres.

    bbPress is translatable and there are translations for specific langauges.

    bbPress could work in multilingual sites. It might be better to just allow your users to contribute their content in their language though. There is an issue using WPML though.

    Sorry I cannot find any information of users importing from an mm forum to bbPress.

    Is there anyway you could embed a forum into another page?

    Not the whole bbPress forums like some Iframe embed like some other forums, you can use this shortcode to embed a single forum though.

    [bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id]

    Display a single forums topics. eg. [bbp-single-forum id=32]

    To find the ID, add a plugin like Reveal IDs to help you out find the IDs of all your forums. After installing it go to Forums > All Forums and you should see each forums ID next to it.

    There are of course other ways of finding a posts ID and you may not need to install the plugin, it is just better and easier for users.

    This should help.

    /*styling to move 'Subscribe' to right hand side */
    .single-forum .subscription-toggle  {
        padding-left: 10px;
    }

    1. Not entirely sure what the topic frame is, but I like how the title looks good on your site already.

    2.

    div.bbp-reply-header {
        clear: none;
    }

    If you need help styling your forums you may need to use the bbp style pack plugin. There are a lot of CSS styles on your site that I can see causing some minor issues with other areas on bbPress, like the Forum Header labels that say Topic and Freshness. You may also need to use a darker image/background for your single forum pages.

    @robkk

    Oh I see how it works now. I had too many roles unchecked and it hid the forum subscription columns and I had to horizontal scroll the rest of the way.

    The error seems like something that doesn’t look too serious but here are some images of me running your plugin and bbPress by itself activated on my wamp server.

    You might need to look into using LearnPress and this plugin. I think it should do what you want, but you may need to leave a support topic on the plugin’s below support forum just to make sure.

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/learnpress-bbpress/

    Or this might be custom development for a plugin.

    But what you can do is at the bottom of each post just insert one of the single forum shortcodes.

    Like this.

    [bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id]

    You can find the forum id by using a plugin like Reveal IDs to make life easier, and all you have to do is go to Forums > All Forums in the WordPress backend to see all of your forums ids.

    Shortcodes

    Same thing with topics if you to assign topics for each post.

    Since you still need help on this. First do not import SMF to phpbb, just try leaving it in SMF and import from there. users have had problems importing from phpBB lately but not SMF.

    You have to make sure you are not using a remote database.

    Make sure to always check the import troubleshooting.

    Run through this topic to see if you have any similar issues others may of have, and Stephen may have answered already.

    You need help with bbPress using a certain theme template?? Is that what you are saying??

    This guide will help you (I hope), I am not entirely sure you want specifically though. I bet the information is useful to learn though.

    Themes could update and introduce something that might cause a conflict, same thing with plugins.

    Make sure to check cache, switch to a default theme, go through some plugin troubleshooting to see if there is a possible issue.

    Also link to your site, so I could see if it is a CSS issue.

    you cannot edit your own post after 5 minutes on this site and that topic has posts from about 3 months ago.

    What are you trying to edit, I can do it for you.
