You create any old regular WordPress theme.
This WordPress codex guide will get you started into theme development.

Sorry for the late reply your post was marked as spam and was awaiting approval.
bbPress themes are basically just WordPress themes, you can use any WordPress theme and theme compatibility in the bbPress plugin will do the rest. You may need to edit some files though, because some themes may be tricky to work with.
I explain it better here.
Installing Themes
I don’t think the current version of bbpress supports importing from phpbb 3.1
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2716
Thats more information that I am getting, where are you seeing that output?
Mine just sits on ‘starting conversion’ and never progress any further than that no matter how long I leave it.
I am also having issues. I have 3.1.5 of phpbb installed. I just get the following.
Repair any missing information: Continue
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
No forums to convert

Starting Conversion
@abcdiamond A good DB search and replace plugin is https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-search-replace/
The class="bbcode_url" could most likely be ignored as it’s only a CSS style
Strange that you have <tt> and not </tt>, I’ll take a another look at these.
the link?
I do not see how we can do to have a variable and divide it into two.
If not, i thought the easiest way to do not touch the core of WordPress is created a condition more about $profile_url will either go to /forums/membre/user or go to /forums/membre/user/edit
ok, I just discovered the solution on another forum. In your WordPress Appearance menu, go to Editor and find meta-single-topic.php and locate the following code:
<a href="<?php echo home_url() ?>">← Back to discussions</a>
Change it to:
<a href="<?php echo home_url() ?>/forums">← Back to discussions</a>
Or enter the forum URL manually.

@donchulio Adding a topic titled Ankündigungen with the topic content Ankündigungen and a reply with content Ankündigungen works as expected for me with bbPress 2.5.8
Can you check what character set and collation both your source SMF database is and also the same for your WordPress database?
OK. I have to because it is the wordpress code that displays the name of the pseudo code and modify the profile.
So basically you want to use bbPress for something other than forums?? I am leaning toward custom development and you might need to hire a developer right now, but I do not get what you mean by directory. Explain what you mean by directory, and if you really want to email me the pictures here.
Contact
If you edited that file, then you edited a WordPress core file (which you should not do) and when WordPress updates again the file will be overwritten.
I think you using bbp-avatar plugin??
That checkbox for the edit profile link only modifies the edit profile link in the WordPress toolbar and nothing else.

PinkishHue thanks!
It would work, but I don’t know the exact names for bbpress
i.e. below is for post (https://wordpress.org/plugins/csv-importer/other_notes/).
csv_post_title – title of the post
csv_post_post – body of the post
csv_post_type – post, page or a custom post type
Do you know what they would be for bbpress? or where I can find them.
This would be the way to go, I need add descriptions so that would save me a lot of time.
You may need to contact Robin in his plugin support forum. You may need to include pictures because it was hard for me to understand.
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbp-profile-information
All of what is listed is here, only the German language you are using is the 100% finished translation.
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/bbpress/stable
Shouldn’t it be Dein Profil for a straight translation of Your Profile which is what bbPress has for profiles??
For custom plugin translations I have to look into it, there use to be a way to have custom plugin translations.
This old code is what I think you could use and test. Edit the existing German language files with something like Poedit. Save them. And Place them in a child theme for example, and put the url in the code below.
function load_bbpress_tr_mofile( $mofile, $domain )
{
if ( 'bbpress' == $domain )
{
// replace this. :)
return 'FULL_PATH_TO_YOUR_FILE';
}
return $mofile;
}
add_filter( 'load_textdomain_mofile', 'load_bbpress_tr_mofile', 10, 2 );
Okay well there might be a way to bulk create bbPress posts, there are already a bunch of WordPress plugins that do this for blog posts. I will test to see if I can find one that works with custom taxonomies and custom post types.
I don’t think you have to go through that trouble, it would be way easier if bbPress has its own tables but it doesn’t, the posts are in wp_posts and post meta in wp_postmeta.
Stored Database Data
Yeah bbPress Moderation is what you are looking for although it seems to be unmaintained. Only thing I can say about this is to make sure you have the plugin set up properly, to make sure it works well.
There is a bbPress role of Spectator which the user cannot post and only view forums. You can later switch them to Participant later in the Users section in the WordPress backend.
Yeah that makes sense since the original file was for a user with a german/english forum I think.
You may not need this either since the original user had a german forum.
/**
* Set languages, add more languages if needed
*
* @param int $language WBB v4.x numeric forum status
* @return string WordPress safe
*/
public function callback_topic_language( $language = 4 ) {
switch ( $language ) {
case 4 :
$language = 'German';
break;
case 5 :
default :
$language = 'English';
break;
}
return $language;
}
Step by step might be this
I have the same problem!
But when I change “search” to e.g. “searchresult” I get the following error message:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function pa_category_top_parent_id() in C:\xampp\apps\wordpress\htdocs\wp-content\themes\mytheme\content-search.php on line 15
How can I fix it?
Thank you

Hi
I’m very new to WordPress, bbpress and php. I am currently working on a project and am finding it very difficult to find which file I need to change. I would like to re-arrange the order that author details are displayed in replies but cannot find where this is.
I would like the text to appear first and the avatar after and maybe remove the name and role.
I am using wordpress-4.2.2 and bbpress.2.5.7
Any help appreciated
Pamela
I did it I did it. BBPress now works on my intranet. I had to add more memory to my wordpress. Now it works. Nice wanted BBpress for my forum and now I have it.
