I am importing data from a PHPBB3 3.1.4 installation.
Known issue that is being worked on.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2716
In a WordPress 4.2.2 installation, using bbPress 2.5.7, I am importing data from a PHPBB3 3.1.4 installation. Both PHPBB and WP4.2.2/BBPress 2.5.7 are on the same server.
The import of data (a MySQL database of about 95MB) includes ONLY “replies.” And those imported replies are added to the DB as posts, but those posts are not visible in the WP Admin (they can be seen using a DB tool like PHPMyAdmin). NO forums are imported.
Running Repair Forums tools all work successfully, except the following:
Recalculating reply menu order … No reply positions to recalculate!
Counting the number of topics in each forum… Failed!
Repairing BuddyPress group-forum relationships… Failed!
Counting the number of topics each user has created… Failed!
Counting the number of topics to which each user has replied… Failed!
Counting the number of replies in each forum… Failed!
Basically, so far, I cannot import any data from a PHPBB3 installation, except “replies”.
The PHPBB3 installation is fully functional. It works properly.
Based on the information above, who can give me guidance toward a solution?
Many thanks for your time.

This is planned for a future release , I think the next big release??

I found something awhile ago , sorry I forgot about this topic.
i cannont seem to find the code i used though.
But you can just use this plugin instead , it should do the same thing.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-popular-topics/
The shortcode is something like this for that plugin.
[bbpresspopulartopics qty = 5]
bbPress is inheriting some CSS from your theme that is suppose to be for the WordPress comments.
try this custom CSS to fix the issue
#bbpress-forums .reply {
margin: 0px;
}
Wordpress is amazing and #1 web developing platform in the world. We have know about some plugins it is very useful for everyone.

Hi all, I am hoping that y’all can help me or at least allay some anxiety.
I am using WordPress 4.2.2 and b Pres 2.5.7. Guest users posting is unselected and the menu does not even display forums unless the user is logged in. If you know the URL and try to enter it directly you will get a 404 page. I am also using bb P private groups 3.0.7. Registered users are only allowed as spectators until promoted AND placed in one of the private groups.
So today I deleted a user from the site and chose to delete all content. Later I found out he had posted to the forums complaining about his “treatment”. It was under “Anonymous” and showed the role of “Participant”. I also noted that his other posts, which I had not deleted showed “Anonymous” for the user. I have since deleted all of his posts and blocked the posting IP.
The questions are these. Is there an exploit or some known issue where an anonymous user can post even though no guests can even see the forums, much less post in them? OR, was he able to still see the menu item and post as anonymous because his previous posts were still there?
If the latter then I can rest a little easier as it should be handled. However if anyone knows why this happened, I’d be obliged if it could be explained.
Thanks,
Kyle
I’ve searched but not found a solution. I’m running the current version of WordPress on a multisite network with a new install of bbPress.
I’m the superadmin of the network and everything works great. However, when I try to give access to another user and give that user a keymaster role the links in the admin bar for Forums, Topics, and Replies is missing.
So far I’ve tried running the repair tool with no change. I can even access the tools with the login that doesn’t show the admin bar links. The forum is located here: q4intel.softwiredweb.net.
i found it somewhere on the web that users cannot use iframe code because wordpress prohibits it for the sake of security. -it says that – if they r allowed to use iframe codes, they might be able to attack you –
as long as you have embed media checked
and also a full hyperlink from youtube.
then it should work.

Using the newest versions of wordpress and bbpress 5/26/2015
Hi all!
After some search here on support forum and in bbpress itself (v2.5.7, wordpress 4.2.1), i dont find anything about this (only Multsite-related, which isn’t my case).
My question is: Is possible to bbpress use forums.example.org instead of example.org/forums ? I want to setup a small website consisting of a forum and a portal (blog), and i want to know if this is possible.
Thank you in advance
Well the file you are suppose to copy and create a bbpress.php file from is index.php
And although putting the forum index shortcode in a page is “easier” in a sense , you will still come up with issues just like you are going through. This is why I have been editing the Codex for the last few days to hopefully fix these issues that users might come across.
As for that weird wp tweaks issue you have , I do not know how to fix that. if you are only using that plugin just for a bbPress specific sidebar there are better plugins than that one.
And it is not hard to manually create a bbPress specific sidebar too.
Thanks so much – although I am wondering if it is going to solve my problem (but please do!)
it might help a little, there is a bunch of post meta that you would have to remove for it to look correct.
You can also contact me later today through email, if you need help during the process.

I need help. Work in a news portal for trade shows and events in Brazil. The site was made in WordPress.I wish to point to the portal directors the possibility to create a forum within the portal for users to discuss about holding events during the year. It is a way to get list of e-mails.
My question is whether we can install an independent layout of the portal. This layout can be a free or a designer can create the unique layout for this forum. It’s possible? How to do?
The site that I intend to create forum is http://meuguru.com.br (Brazil), should you need to consult.
Hi @robkk
Here are my answers :
1. I haven’t imported any forums, and this issue wasn’t there berfore ( I think ).
2. I haven’t modified core plugin and there is no other user capability plugin in my site.
3. Yes default WordPress role is “participant”.
4. Nope, not spam.
5. No any security issue detected till now.
If they get the keymaster role make sure you disable registration til you get this fixed.
can you please answer these questions so i can narrow down what the issue might be??
has this issue always been there when you first installed bbPress?
did you import any forums and this issues has started?
did you install any plugins that modify s the capabilities of users?
is your default WordPress role for registration a subscriber in settings>general?
have you had a large amount of spam lately?
have you had any security issues lately?
Right now i cant tell what what causing the issue?? It is either some capability plugin settings that are messed up , or that you have been hacked??
How do your users register through your site?? Do they use the normal WordPress login forms, or do you use the bbPress shortcodes , or something different??
Also do you have multi-site??
Nice to see that other people would like to see this as part of the standard set-up as @roberts-1 says… I am running the same versions using Momizat’s ‘Goodnews’ theme
I’ve just tried @undergroundnetwork ‘s code and it works great for me as an admin… but for some reason, the other users with lower levels of access, don’t get the same result – they only get WordPress results, none from bbPress.
Any ideas why? I’d really like to just have one search that does it all instead of one for forums and another for blogs etc.
Cheers
if your using BuddyPress you can overwrite friends for followers

Hi, im having this weird issue where the members of my site copy an image on their desktop and paste it on the bbpress text box.
This is not an issue with bbPress , it is expected for it not to work since the url of the image is from the users computer.
Just give your users a place to insert images from the users computer correctly.
There are two plugins which you can use.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/gd-bbpress-attachments/
and this if you have BuddyPress installed and do not mind the visual editor being activated in bbPress. this plugin also allows inline image uploading.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-forum-editor/
@hunniemaid
you place the code in your child themes functions.php or you can use a plugin like this
https://wordpress.org/plugins/functionality/
with that plugin you go to plugins> edit functions then place the code i gave you.
i could do it for you , it is pretty easy.
email me.

Thanks @robkk, my bigger interest is having the reply-to author populate in the text box. That would be awesome so the notifications can be triggered. I am leery about posting jobs on there, I get a ton of spam when I have done so in the past.
Yeah it would be awesome , all i can do is reccommend extending the feature of @mentions when bbPress adds its own.
As for the spam maybe i shouldn’t reccommend that site anymore?? But you know what i meant though you can go to any freelance website you can find that has users experienced with WordPRess and bbPress.
@juggledad
@robkk: Just to clarify something, the OR function_exists(‘is_bbpress’) was added (with some other code, to get around a bug that bbpress doesn’t seem to want to acknowledge or fix. see https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2723
Thanks for pointing that out, i did not know about that bug.
Okay with this bug in bbPress you cannot use the WP conditional is_single() to affect all of the bbPress pages, since for some reason there is a bug for single user pages.Thanks for creating the trac ticket, I tested out and see that yes it does not work on user pages. Over the next few days/week i will check it out and see I can come up with a fix.
But this bug is easily avoidable by creating a bbpress.php for your theme and just using the_content() instead of bfa_post_bodycopy() and removing OR function_exists('is_bbpress') from the bfa_post_bodycopy() function. The bbpress.php file also helps remove other post meta that might not be useful for bbPress forums instead of using CSS to hide them.
The OR function_exists('is_bbpress') you can keep in bfa_get_options.php though as i do not see any problems with that.
If there is something you can find on your end to fix the issue with your theme and bbPress then please drop an answer on this topic, because i haven’t looked and learned your theme 100% yet. Removing the function exists and creating a bbpress.php is the quickest solution to the problem that I could find.
@kitfreeman
This excerpt issue that you are seeing affects all of these areas
category pages
tag pages
author pages
archive pages
search result pages
and the home page
which is where all the excerpt theme settings modify.
sorry Friday through Sunday you can expect slow support responses.
it should be like that by default , participants shouldnt be allowed to mark topics spam, they can edit but for whatever time you have allowed in settings> forums.
you can answer these questions to help me help you.
has this issue always been there when you first installed bbPress?
did you import any forums and this issues has started?
did you install any plugins that modify s the capabilities of users?
is your default WordPress role for registration a subscriber in settings>general?
