I am trying to import an old vbulletin 3.8.4 message forum to bbPress. Over 1.8 Million posts.
What is the best method to get this done? I gave the import tool in wordpress a shot, but it kept saying nothing to import. Any guidance would be appreciated, as I have never worked with forum exports/imports before.
No, it currently does not, its an interesting idea though, along with its counterpart to “bump` a topic without adding a reply, I’d love to see a plugin that offers one or both of these functions, we could then look to adding the plugin to bbPress #core via the “featured plugin” process similar to WprdPress #core

Hi,
All translations are now centrally managed. Danish seems to be at 92% for the stable version.
Anybody can contribute to the translation (https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/da/default/wp-plugins/bbpress)
When it reaches 100%, you can get in touch with a Global Translator Editor for the Danish locale to see how to continue.

Hi Robin,
and thanks again answering me 🙂
$forum_id = bbp_get_topic_forum_id($post_id);
This line don’t get the parent forum, it get the current forum. Cause i created forums -> subforum -> topics
I change a little my function, and now this is perfect, the menu is displayed on the right forum and all his topics.
But now my problem is that this menu is displayed on the top of my page and not instead of the main menu of wordpress…
here is my new function :
`if (bbp_is_single_topic() && $parent_id == ‘forum_parent_11801’){
wp_nav_menu(array(‘theme_location’ => ‘avia’, ‘menu’=>’menu-frenchtis-life’ ));
}
Do you know how can i replace the main menu by the good one ?
in the function i right :
‘theme_location’ => ‘avia’
This line must place my menu instead of the main menu no ?

try my style pack
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/
will let you style most of bbpress
latest topics is in a shortcode in my plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/
[bsp-display-topic-index show=’5′ forum =’10’]
Sorry respond so late, I was waiting for a response from the developers of the plugin, but I guess they are very busy and have not had time …
Smilies remain “disappeared”, but I found a temporary solution to this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/font-emoticons/ which by the way I liked it.
P.S. I have the latest versions of WordPress and bbPress.
Cheers.
Hi –
I’m running WordPress 4.4.1
BBpress is the 2.58
Theme is Optimizer
I have successfully increased the font size of the forum itself. What I have not been able to do is figure out how to change the text that one sees to get back to the various Forum categories or Forum home – as shown in image below:
https://i.gyazo.com/0882075309c65c8058da2fe97caea9aa.png
I used this info here: https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-styling-crib/ and according to that, it is #8 I want to adjust, and on that ‘how-to’ it says that that area is:
8. Breadcrumb and link colors
Inherited from your theme
Just wondering where to find this so I can make it larger in size.
I have a forum set to private. When a user who without access (often not logged in) goes to the forum landing page src/forums they get the no forums feedback message. However if they follow a link to a topic or subforum they are redirected to the WordPress 404 page instead.
The links work fine when logged in, or if the forum is set to public. Changing the theme to Twenty Twelve has no effect. WordPress ver 4.4.1 bbPress ver 2.5.8
How can I redirect all pages (topics, subforums, etc) in a private forum to the no forum feedback page?
Hi,
The current Bulgarian translation still has some strings waiting: https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/bg/default/wp-plugins/bbpress
If it reaches 100%, it should come automatically.
Please talk to one of the General Translation Editors on Slack: https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/?locale=bg_BG

Appreciate your help on this, how to resolve this issue. thanks
Hi,
Im using WordPress 4.4.1 running The7 theme and I have a problem with translating my forum to bulgarian. I follow all of the steps here but nothing changed. My site is mypet.visible.bg
Hi Manuel,
All help is appreciated !
To contribute to the translations, you just need to have a WordPress account and you can start translating strings: https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/de/default/wp-plugins/bbpress
When there are no strings left to translate, any German GTE could validate the package.
But let me forward your request to the team here anyway.
Pascal.
Hello, yes, I am using a plugin called
https://it.wordpress.org/plugins/sendgrid-email-delivery-simplified/
but I don’t think is the responsible of this problem.
This plugin just “forwards” the emails sent by WordPress to Sendgrid, and Sendgrid just send those emails to the users.
Therefore my problem cannot be related to the Sendgrid plugin.
Hi there,
I would like to help out with the German locale as translation editor. If someone of the developers could please make an official request for that here, as outlined here?
Thanks
Manuel

@hotconductor, I found my way to this forum in search of answers to the same questions you’re posing. I found this recent topic which basically says that you may be able to achieve this result by editing the child theme, changing functions, or using an external search functionality like that of Google Custom Search.
@Robkk, could you be more specific about what code we would need to add to the child theme in order to achieve the functionality we’re looking for? I am capable of very basic code but my ability level is low so I’m hopefully looking for something I can copy in.
Help please?
The default role is set during login not during user creation (as that is done by wordpress) . Ie if a user doesn’t have a role, then this is set to the default role when the user first logs in.
So on import or indeed user creation, the database is not changed. As each user logs in for the first time it is set.
Hi,
I confirm the issue. I have create a ticket: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2906
Pascal.
Two approaches
1. you are using Reden=pro which is a paid theme, so you should get paid support to fix this, quite often it is very simple, but it is theme dependant
2. see this link on getting wordpress to use the template you want
https://codex.bbpress.org/themes/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/
Ouch, ok, let me have another look
EDIT: In my 2.5.8 install of bbPress, I see vBulletin3 in the list, so I would say give it a try on a testsite. Get WordPress, bbPress then Tools > Forums > Import forums
Pascal.
I’d like to suggest something you might try to solve this problem.
The SEO Framework supports bbress, is written with massive and busy (multi-)sites in mind and therefore up to 867% faster when compared with other popular SEO plugins. It also consumes up to 260% fewer server resources and makes 15% fewer database interactions (numbers may vary on this one depending on plugin compatibility).
It allows for complete SEO data migration from other plugins and the author tells you an easy way to do it here SEO Data Transporter from WordPress.org
Plus it has 100% fewer advertisements. And the author will answer your questions because he is not trying to sell you an upgrade to the Pro version ~ there isn’t one. All of the Pro features are built into the free version you can download from the WordPress repository.
Give it a try. I think you will be impressed.
Group forum feeds are having issues.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2888
For just topics, you an for now use the original forum structure url and add this to the end.
