Hi all,
I’ve been doing a test run today to import my old phpBB board to bbpress, and it worked surprisingly well (as in: the whole process finished without hanging).
In the end, though, I do have a number of problems, and I was wondering if anyone doing a similar import was able to solve them.
– The old board has thousands of registered users (many of them spammers :/ ), and I didn’t want to clutter my WordPress install with all those accounts, especially since it’s a multisite install and I’m mainly migrating the board for archiving purposes. So I didn’t check the “import user accounts” box, but now all user names are just “Anonymous”. Any way to migrate the user names without the accounts?
– It seems like quoted posts are broken, as the “bbcode_quote” tag isn’t applied where it should be.
– Smilies aren’t imported properly. The relative path to the smilies is lost, and when there’s more than one smiley in a row, only the first one has an image tag.
– [img] tags aren’t being properly converted either. Or rather the conversion seems to work ok, but after the actual link, the [img] code, which bbpress can’t read, is retained for some reason.
– Like I said, overall conversion seemed to work well, but cluttered the error log with hundreds of these messages:
PHP Warning: Trying to access array offset on value of type bool in /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/parser.php on line 1289
Anything to worry about?
– I understand that no attachments are imported by default, but maybe someone found a workaround?
Thanks!
So totally new to WordPress Plugin development so bare with me, please
On a website that use BBPress we are hoping to be able to do some edits on the text on posts as they are loaded just before they are shown and I figure I need to use either a filter or an action to get the ‘event’ when posts are loaded from DB.
But which exactly is it? ChatGPT suggested a filter which does not actually exist
May there is an example of how to do something like this somewhere?
Using Version 2.6.12 of BBPress
Hallo, ich habe gesucht, aber keinen Hinweis gefunden, deshalb frage ich hier nach in der Hoffnung, Hilfe zu bekommen.
Ich habe bbPress 2.6.12 und WordPress 6.6.2. Ich benutze das Theme Astra, habe aber auch schon Twentytwentyfive ausprobiert. Ich habe auch schon verschiedene Browser benutzt und die Caches gelöscht.
Aber egal was ich tue, immer wenn ich auf die von mir erstellten Foren klicke, lande ich wieder auf der Startseite. Ich habe jetzt schon 3 Stunden mit einer KI hin und her geschrieben – leider ohne Erfolg. Jetzt wende ich mich an euch, vielleicht hat ja jemand eine Lösung für mich.
Meine Seite: https://omasgegenrechts-darmstadt.de/
und die Forenseite: https://omasgegenrechts-darmstadt.de/austausch/
Ich habe die Forenseite wieder aus dem Menu genommen, weil sie ja nicht funktioniert.
Viele liebe Grüße und schonmal dankeschön
Nicole
ok there are thousands of themes, and tens of thousands of plugin, so whilst I have had a quick look at my test site with Astra, I cannot spend time on the theme to work out what you need to do.
So to test could be a theme or plugin issue
Themes
As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.
Plugins
If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users
Health Check & Troubleshooting
Then come back
just confirm this is the bbpress profile, not the wordpress one.
ie you get to this by clicking the username in a topic/reply in the forums
try
bbp style pack
Loads of styling changes and features
Hi there
I am hoping you can help.
I have otter blocks – block editor theme on a wordpress site and I am using bbpress – I have used “enable bbpress for block themes” plugin which has the forum working fine – I do however need to change the text sizing
I am wondering what the full list of css elements I need to change are ?
Or if there is a better way to improve the way the forum appears ?
ok, we need to make you a keymaster
Install
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Bug Fixes.
you will see an option to set yourself as keymaster, tick that and click save
you will then see that you are a keymaster, and should now be able to see the forums in dashboard>forums
Once you can see this you can decativate and delete the style pack plugin
then in dashboard>forums you can close the forum

As a test, can you try
add_filter ('bbp_get_topic_reply_count', 'rew_return_int', 10 , 2) ;
function rew_return_int ($replies, $topic_id ) {
return int($replies) ;
}
Put this in your child theme’s function file –
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php
where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme
or use

and let me know if it works
either
Install
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topic/Topic/Reply Order>replies>Descending and tick and save
or
add_filter ('bbp_show_lead_topic', 'rew_true') ;
function rew_true () {
return true ;
}

thanks Tob, I have to say I feel quite stupid today . I am not a fan of wordpress and avoid it when I can so when I hit an issue with wordpress its always counter intuiative in how to fix it.
With your plug in the theme works perfectly BUT doesnt have the pages header or footer aor follow any of the page constraints that I would expect
With Webmasdesign the forums page displays as I would expect BUT as soon as I look at any content the headers andfooters disapear and only the forum is there
This suggests the error here is mine and I am missing something in the block theme
This is one of the new FSE themes, so you need a fix to work with bbpress.
install
bbp style pack
once activated, navigate to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack, and you should see the first tab called ‘Theme Support’ – if you don’t see this, come back.
In that tab, select
Enable Theme Support
and save
The forums should then display
I was trying to use the Latest Activity (style pack) Widget with a specific Forum Id in a sidebar and in a custom widget area. The problem I ran into was that the options to customize the widget in the custom widget area will not open up. I did also try and use the Widget multiple times within the sidebar and ran into the same issue.
My WordPress and bbpress are current, I also have the style pack plugin. My site is built using Divi.

Is there a conflict if the Latest Activity Widget is used more than once and is there a workaround?
Thanks.
I suspect you are feeling some frustration as am I !. I have been supporting bbpress for 14 years, and I wrote the first version of bbp-style-pack over 10 years ago and have developed and supported it since then.
Every website is a combination of WordPress and its settings, your theme and its settings, any adjustments to that theme, and all the plugins and each of their settings. That’s before we look at things like php versions, apache stuff, ht-acess, hoster settings and limitations and a bunch more stuff.
That makes most sites pretty unique, so site A will never replicate site B in it’s problems and issues, so what works on my test site is not guaranteed to work on your site.
So what I ask you to do is based on my best view of what might be the issue, but I am using past skill and knowledge to make informed guesses.
so can you send me a screenshot of the following page
dashboard>settings>bbp-style-pack>Dashboard Admin
thanks
Install
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Breadcrumbs
and you can disable all breadcrumbs, or tailor to what you want
Hi, is there a way to remove the path above the forums please? WordPress version 6.7.2, bbpress version 2.6.12, Learndash version site: https://dataciseopenlearning.org/
Apologies, I have been on holiday.
I am not a bbpress author, but I have added this feature into one of my plugins.
Install
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Dashboard Admin>item 5 and tick to enable
Can you provide any insight into the status of 2.7.0 Alpha? I’m assuming that, if I knew how, I could at least query Trac to find out which bugs are attached (if that’s the right term) to that release, and so on
There are a few ways, but I usually use the Roadmap.
See: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/roadmap
You’ll see the various releases as headings there, and you can click around to get the various ticket reports.
It’s all pretty fluid though. For example, the 2.6.12 release wasn’t really planned, so the minor issues got bumped to 2.6.13, and if a new security release needs to happen quickly, they’ll get bumped again, etc…
I appreciate the kind words. I love bbPress, and I do hope to be able to put a lot more time towards it again!
