Bbpress is not GDPR-compliant because of one thing: The User posts and threads are not collected in WordPress’ feature to export and delete all user data.

Please add this feature next! Thank you. 🙂

Understood. I did bring this topic up pretty specifically to the multiple WordPress forum sites (.org and .com) and it is hard to say if that is a very limited use case worth any effort (maybe just a plugin and not some core update to bbPress would be better) but there may be organizations that run different forum sites where the information is similar, but not worth co-mingling into the same site completely – and the ability to copy / move topics could be useful I believe.

When you stop and start it should continue from where it was before. This is part of the standard bbPress importer setup. Unless you choose: “Start Over: Restart the converter from the beginning (This forces all steps back to 0. Avoid duplicate data by purging or resetting first.)” on the Import Forums screen. As it suggests, under the Reset Forums tab you can delete all existing forums, topics and posts. Unfortunately, my plugin doesn’t delete the Redirection plugin settings or the images it imports (although it may be possible to hook into the forum reset code and achieve that).

You will have to start the import again to import the images and attachments. The converter scans each post as it’s importing for local links and then retrieves the files from the uploads folder. Some are direct links, some are links via Invision’s ~attachment.php?id=123 which need to query the database to find the true file path, and some are older style Invision v3 attachments.

As you see, the converter just creates its own forums and ignores what’s there, so just delete them.

I don’t think there’s any need, unless something goes wrong, to give me any access. I suggest doing a feature comparison between Invision and bbPress and see what plugins you’re going to need to retain tools you were using in Invision. If they match what I know I need, I’ll work on converting the appropriate data for both of us.

I get this message: the bbPress Notify (No-Spam)/Private Groups Bridge API Key has not been activated, so the plugin is not checking for updates! Click here to activate bbPress Notify (No-Spam)/Private Groups Bridge. Where do I find my api key?
Use WordPress 4.9

Hi!

Sorry, no links, my forum and WordPress installations are on localhost.

After failed import of SMF (2.0.15) database to bbPress 2.5.14. I tried with bbPress 2.6 RC 7 but there is the same problem with both versions. I can’t seem to past by 7th step – “No forum subscriptions to import”. Import monitor listed: “Doing step 6” and it didn’t move past that for 12 hours

My SMF forum database is clean as it can possibly be and I can’t find where is the problem.

Has anyone succeeded to import SMF into bbPress?

[Mostafa Shahiri]

Hi
I use WordPress 4.9.8 and some plugins such as Woocommerce, WPML, WP Job Manager and BuddyPress at my website. Today I installed bbPress but I found a conflict with other plugins. When I try to access wp-admin page, it is not loaded correctly and loading is stopped by displaying white page. It is a bad problem, because I can not access to dashboard after login. Please guide me.

Thanks

@robin-w – I may need to mess around some more to see, but based on what I described, does that feature allow “moving a topic” from WordPress.com forum to WordPress.org forum? Or just from one forum to another on the same domain?

[BrianHenryIE]

The forums should import ok, just without the proper title and description, and you’ll be able to see them at /wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=forum. When mine import, one parent forum with no posts contains our 13 actual forums.

The upload folder is for copying across the images, emoticons, and attachments users have added to their posts on Invision 4 forum. If your Invision 4 forum is still live (which it probably is), the URL of your forum with /uploads added should work fine. If you set $ipb_uploads_url to null the forums themselves should import no problem, but without media.

The table prefix is dependent on how your Invision database was set up initially. Typically, if it’s the only application using the database, there’s no need for a prefix, but if multiple applications (e.g. WordPress and Invision) share a database it’s prudent to set a prefix on the database table names so you can be confident both applications won’t try to use the same table name (e.g. “users”), and it’s essential if multiple instances of the same application share the same database (e.g. two independent WordPress installations).

The forums->topics->replies associations all work correctly for me. Are you saying that your replies have imported but aren’t associated correctly with their topics? This isn’t something that needs the importer to complete to verify is working. Although, the topics might show how many replies are part of the topic before the replies themselves have been imported. My import takes a few hours to complete.

Let me know how you get on. I’ve still to do more work on this myself before I finally migrate our forums so now is a good time for feedback and suggestions.

[Robin W]

you will need to clear your browser cache and wordpress cookies.

How to do that varies from browser to browser, but if you google it, you should be able to find out how to do that

[Robin W]

this was a plugin for the old version 1 bbpress.

version 2 just uses wordpress users so no longer required

[Robin W]

no idea why wordpress requires the number of arguments, just the way it works 🙂

Hi !

Sorry for resurrecting this old post, but I had the same question and I was wondering if the *best* current implementation might be home_url(bbp_get_root_slug()); to link from anywhere in a wordpress multi lingual site.

I also looked at the implementation of the breadcrumbs, as they include a link to the root of the forum, but it looked like the implementation only worked when the user is inside one of the forum pages (maybe it has a dependency to a global object?).

Thanks!

Hi,

the routine looks more powerful and more transparent, that’s great. However it is doing step 8 again and again:

“Converting anonymous topic authors (50 through 50 of 50)100%”

and again, and again, and again…. please help, I am really looking Forward using WordPress, but I need this integrated forum solution 🙁

Thanks!!

Ok. I understand. I get partial solution here: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/305472/how-to-add-code-in-the-content-area-in-a-wordpress-theme/326407#326407

My request / idea for this topic comes from being involved in WordPress.com and WordPress.org forums. As people in these forum may know, there is a lot of confusion about where to input topics when people need help with WordPress. Because of this confusion, it leads to many Topics (basically support tickets) in the wrong forums.

An example of this is when people post to the WordPress.com forums for a question about a self-hosted WordPress site. This takes the staff and volunteers working on WordPress.com away from supporting that system and instead causes a need to support this other question and most of the support is educating the difference in .com and .org. Once those replies go the tickets, some people opening the topics are still not sure what to do – and telling them “go to the other forum” might be confusing, and at the least will cause duplicate work.

So, the idea: a feature in bbPress that allows a forum (in this example, the WordPress.org forum) staff to “pull” a topic from another forum (WordPress.com forum) and get the data setup as a topic in the forum where it makes sense.

Ideally, this would pull over the threaded history, somehow note the users in the discussion as users of the old forum or the new forum (maybe call user: username[wordpress.org] vs username), and tags as needed…and then allow the discussion to continue on the new forum while noting the move and closing the ticket on the old forum.

There is a problem that the user opening the topic needs to exist – and the user in WordPress.com may only exist in that system, so one option would be that part of pulling the topic over would do an automated user creation behind the scenes on the “new forum” if a simple search did not find the user to assign the topic to in the new forum.

I also think that in order to do some kind of migration of topic from the UI side (just past in a URL and basically “scrape” the data) would be nice but for the better administration the data would be pulled with API calls and this could be done by URL and some kind of nonce/code that only a staff members who has high access on both forums would know/generate. They log in to the old forum, go to the Topic they want to copy and click something to enable the copy – this would give them the nonce/code. They go to the new forum and note where they are pulling from URL, the nonce/code and the user they want to assign the topic to in the new forum.

This is a long winded explanation, but I think similar to other situations where a company or organization could have a legitimate need for multiple forums platforms (instead of just splitting by forum in one site) and a method to essentially “move a topic to the right forum” could have a nice benefit – not to mention the simplification of support for the WordPress community.

I would love feedback and if this is something useful, it would be great to know what the next steps are to follow through.

(this is a similar idea to what is in https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/copyduplicate-topic-into-another-forum/ but it seems different so I did not just put a reply there)
