Hello,

I am newbie to use WordPress.
I implemented one website and used bbpress for forums.
But I want to do
When people could type a sentence in a search bar and it would pull up word phrases and such for past posted topics in search bar. In short I want auto search or auto suggest search bar functionality in bbpress forum’s search.

For auto topic suggestion I used ‘bbPress – Live Topic Suggestions’ this plugin Version 1.0.9. Its working when user is going to post new topic at that time existing topic’s list will display.

but I want auto suggestion in case of search of forum, when people start to type word that words related suggested topics or forum name should list come in dropdown.
is it possible ? Please, help me. Thanks

Wordpress Version 4.3.1
bbPress Version 2.5.8
Thanks

Please

I’ve noticed that this topic is a year and change old but it concerns the phpbb importer. My brief review of the fields would seem to indicate that field names have changed and it’s why I have generated the errors below. There is no forum_topics field and the topics in phpbb3 have their own table and are assigned to a forum using topics.forum_id. I don’t know what the phpbb 2 database schema but apparently it is different.

Nick – were you ever able to get it to work or did you have to outsource the work? It would probably be a good idea for WordPress to let users know as to the compatibility of the converter with the version of phpBB currently able to be converted. Thanks for any insights.

Imported phpBB, where are the forums?

Clicked: Purge all information from a previously attempted import
Use this if an import failed and you want to remove that incomplete data.

Tried to start again. That deleted all the replies. This seems to be the issue:

WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘forums.forum_topics’ in ‘field list’]
SELECT convert(forums.forum_id USING “utf8mb4”) AS forum_id,convert(forums.parent_id USING “utf8mb4”) AS parent_id,convert(forums.forum_topics USING “utf8mb4”) AS forum_topics,convert(forums.forum_posts USING “utf8mb4”) AS forum_posts,convert(forums.forum_topics_real USING “utf8mb4”) AS forum_topics_real,convert(forums.forum_name USING “utf8mb4”) AS forum_name,convert(forums.forum_desc USING “utf8mb4”) AS forum_desc,convert(forums.left_id USING “utf8mb4”) AS left_id,convert(forums.forum_type USING “utf8mb4”) AS forum_type,convert(forums.forum_status USING “utf8mb4”) AS forum_status FROM phpbb_forums AS forums LIMIT 0, 100

If we’re talking about the phpbb database, this is because forum_topics doesn’t exist in the phpbb datatabase. Perhaps it did in version 2 but I don’t see that being the case in version 3. As a result, I’m wondering if anyone has successfully converted any phpbb 3 forums.

Constant errors. No users to convert. No forums to convert. Kicks me into repair but nothing to repair. Ran it again and got:

WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘topics.topic_replies’ in ‘field list’]

No topics to convert

No forum parents to convert

Problem is the same, but design is from WordPress.. and the website now is on my local mashine.
Here is the php of created bbpress.php
Code is really simple:

<?php get_header(); ?>
	<div id="primary">
		<div id="content" role="main">

			<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>
				<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
					<?php get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() ); ?>
				<?php endwhile; ?>
				<?php twentyeleven_content_nav( 'nav-below' ); ?>
			<?php endif; ?>
			
			</div><!-- #content -->
		</div><!-- #primary -->

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

But the two pages look different..

Website crop

Looking at html I have noticed, that newly created page has a different body class assigned and so is not recognized as bbpress forum archive page, but rather as a page..
<body class="page page-id-902 page-template page-template-bbpress page-template-bbpress-php custom-background single-author singular two-column left-sidebar">

The breadcrubs issue I have noticed just when I read this..
As that I guess will get fixed after the the page will be understood as forum archive page..

Hey,

I applied the new release of wordpress and I still have the same issues. Some (all?) subforums can’t be browsed, some subjects can’t be read (I still have the same message: “only members could read this subject”, but I logged in with my correct password).
If I logged in as an administrator, everything is fine and I can browse every subjects and subforums.

I applied the correction : if ( ! empty( $parent ) ) {
but it’s still the same issues.

Thanks by advance

Ok, problem solved 🙂 I had deleted bbpress plugin, after (because of there are was still bbpress roles, and I think that was a problem cause) I had used https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-role-deleter/. After installed bbpress back, and now everything works fine 🙂 thank you!

I’m wondering if this is related to the WordPress 4.4 issue…

@jessicana can you update to WordPress 4.4.1 and let me know if it is still an issue or 4.4.1 fixes the issue please 🙂

WordPress 4.4.1 Security and Maintenance Release

[Stephen Edgar]

WordPress 4.4.1 has now been released, could you please test to make sure this issue is resolved. https://wordpress.org/news/2016/01/wordpress-4-4-1-security-and-maintenance-release/

Thanks for all your feedback and patience here in this topic, its greatly appreciated everyone 🙂

Hi,
bbPress works with Categories and Forums for the main structure, could you maybe explain what you plan to obtain ? Because you could easily create a structure of Category>Category>Forums.
I did not check how easy it is to have implement it, but if you really want this, check how to add a WordPress custom type, that will be your starting point.

For my records: great theme for forums with photos Destin Basic

All of the elements of the forum are there, the breadcrumb nav is correct and works, the forum layouts are excellent. A bbPress ready theme that actually works out of the box.

[locdog99]

Thank you. That looks right. I build wordpress sites from themes, not custom, so I hope you find something that will work and be easy or detailed enough for me to implement.

I appreciate all the help!

Hi Naerean,

WP 4.4.1 Release Candidate is out. If you want to test it, you can find it here

Hopefully in 1 week it will be available for production, at least I hope.

WordPress 4.4.1 RC (Release Candidate) was released earlier today, if your able to test it and make sure this issue is resolved that would be great 🙂

4.4.1 Release Candidate

Expect the main 4.4.1 release to be released later this week pending the RC release testing.

[Stephen Edgar]

No update as yet, but between WordPress and bbPress I think we can add some unit tests that will add a set of examples of possible permutations and combinations of when this occurs and mitigate as best we can against as many of these as possible.

This thread is totally messed up. The link to the ticket in my previous post isn’t working. Here is the link – https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2357.

[Karthikeyan KC]

This is really a bummer for lot of my users. After hours of research into the codes, I just found the ticket, addressing why <li> breaks the site (being an invalid HTML).

Sorry for this bump(ish) post. Is there a temporary workaround or fix for this? For now, I’m planning on putting up a custom notice, advising the participants not to use </li><li> the wrong way.

Also, I’m curious how bbPress (this forum) handles this.

Edit: I think the issue is self-explanatory here.

[vypersden]

@casiepa – The above reply with examples, I took them from the same forum. I just noticed it recently. When looking at the date of the post, it seems about the time we had migrated our Kunena forum (on Joomla) to our WordPress site using bbPress, about 6 months ago.

However, I can not verify 100% that they were working at the time after migration as nobody reported it nor did I have a real need to check it.

Although, I can edit it from the backend, so I figure it’s got to be there somewhere, just can’t get to it from the frontend.

Hi Sakib,
You already have WordPress I suppose, so just go to ‘Plugins’ and click ‘Add New’. Then look for bbPress and install it. It’s a plugin, so follow the normal way of installing plugins.
