@Pascal, Well I can see the plugin is finally updated by you and Mr. David Dean. Thank you, appreciate it very much!
Any updates? I am waiting eagerly…
That would be great! thanks so much, we’ll wait for the update!
@Robin W,
Hi, as previously discussed the plugin “bbpress topics for posts” (which has been possibly abandoned by the author) enables a user to migrate/import all existing WordPress posts into bbpress forum and also allow them to show under individual posts, so I was wondering is there a possibility that bbpress could simply introduce all those specific options and features which the above plugin inserts in the bbpress settings by default??
If this can be introduced in the bbpress settings by default would mean we wouldn’t have to depend on any external plugin, and be extremely handy for all those users who get large amounts on WordPress comments and are interested to convert them into forum replies.
@pascal, thank you very much for your consideration.
However, I think you should make an effort to upgrade your plugin with the mentioned feature so that the migrated comments to bbpress can be shown under the individual posts by the users.
I cannot see any reason why we should wait for the permission of the other plugin author?
Because you are not copying anybody’s codes, you are only creating a similar functionality in your plugin
Looks interesting, but this one’s too is not updated since 2 years…folks normally won’t install a plugin which are not timely updated and the untested version…
make sure to get a good anti spam plugin otherwise your forum will be flooded with spam…
yes it is possible with bbpress, not sure with other forums.
In general settings, under “Other comment settings” keep the box unchecked for “Users must be registered and logged in to comment”
Thank you very much, we’ll be grateful….
Hello,
I have checked this plugin and it still works nicely at the moment.
I have followed the suggestions provided by “makingcircuits” in one of the other threads, and could convert all my existing wordpress comments to bbpress forum discussion with a few clicks.
I think this is a unique feature which only bbpress is able to provide with the help of this plugin, therefore we really want this plugin to be maintained and updated from time to time so the users can feel comfortable about implementing for the said purpose.
I have tons of comments in wordpress which are not getting indexed by Google, therefore turning them into forum can instantly provide a huge SEO boost for these comments and could hugely improve the search engine presence of my site.
However I could go ahead with this only when I feel assured that the mentioned plugin would be maintained regularly by the author or if there could be an alternative to this plugin.
The plugin looks very useful and enables only bbpress with this very crucial feature of turning wordpress comments into bbpress forum, with just a few clicks.
I hope somebody will take an initiative in this regard
