Excellent 🙂
The vBulletin importer already includes some regex conversion expressions and should be actually converting those for you.
The actual code from Line #578 is (vBulletin.php)
// Replace '[video=youtube;$1]$2[/video]' with '$2"
$vbulletin5_markup = preg_replace( '/\[video\=youtube;(.*?)\](.*?)\[\/video\]/', '$2', $vbulletin5_markup );
What that is doing using regular expressions is converting anything in the format of
From: [video=youtube;$1]$2[/video]'
eg. [video=youtube;yF5sbwb4VTg]http://youtu.be/yF5sbwb4VTg[/video]
To: '$2"
eg. http://youtu.be/yF5sbwb4VTg
(If WordPress settings allow YouTube embeds then we only need to post the YouTube URL to the topic or reply)
In your case you have an extra string '_share' in your custom BBCode…
So with copy and paste magic… We end up with this as anxtra regex string conversion:
// Replace '[video=youtube;$1]$2[/video]' with '$2"
$vbulletin_markup = preg_replace( '/\[video\=youtube;(.*?)\](.*?)\[\/video\]/', '$2', $vbulletin_markup );
+
+ // Replace '[video=youtube_share;$1]$2[/video]' with '$2"
+ $vbulletin5_markup = preg_replace( '/\[video\=youtube_share;(.*?)\](.*?)\[\/video\]/', '$2', $vbulletin5_markup );
You can look at this gist which is a little clearer to read and also download the file.
https://gist.github.com/ntwb/513187363f36b56ec77d/revisions
You can either add those two lines to your own file or download the gist complete there and it should work for you 🙂
You should be able via FTP or your webhost control panel open up your vBulletin ‘config.php’ file, you can find it in the /includes folder eg /public_html/vb/includes/config.php
http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/editconfig
Now do the same and look at your WordPress ‘wp-config.php’ file
http://support.godaddy.com/help/article/5111/why-is-wordpress-unable-to-connect-to-my-database-during-install
These should give you all the information you need…
One last thing… I have been presuming your importing from vBullen v4.x, are you using v4.x or v5.x?
Try doing an import without importing the users, this will ensure you get past the error ‘WordPress database error: [Table ‘XXXXXXX.user’ doesn’t exist]’ in your original post.
What errors do you see this time?
Also some webhosts require you to use an IP Address for the database server rather than ‘localhost’ and you might want to check that with them.
And of course I/we would love some more error checking and/or notifications to help us debug these errors such as ‘Cannot find database’, ‘Username/Password’ does not match for the database xyz’ etc…
Hi 🙂
We are all just volunteers helping out where and when we can, that becomes more noticeable when a few of us have other stuff going on and we can’t dedicate as much time as we’d like to 🙂
Most definitely private group forum posts should not be showing up when using [bbp-topic-index].
bbPress 2.4 is just about out the door https://bbpress.org/blog/2013/08/bbpress-2-4-release-candidate-1/ but if you give that a try and see how well your BuddyPress Group Forums are being integrated and if your issue has been fixed, if not create a new ticket in trac and we can take a look https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/. I am pretty sure your issues should be covered in the fix from Ticket #2349
Using bbPress (not current version, one back), WordPress 3.5.1. Need 2 plugins:
1. Want to receive eMail on every post, whether new topic or reply.
2. Want a “See New Posts” link in the header. I had this with phpBB and am used to it as are users.
If I don’t need a plugin, and the script(s) can be edited, that’s ok. Just quote me a very reasonable price to do it or provide all the coding and details for me to do.
Try accessing example.com/forums instead
Also to get the forums on your front page of WordPress setup a custom page and add a shortcode:
https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/ https://codex.bbpress.org/widgets/
Can you create a ‘new ticket’ in Trac and we will take a look 😉
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/
On my website I use the shortcode [bbp-topic-form] for displaying the ‘new forum form’.
What I think is odd is that the dropdownlist has no “Please select forum” option. It just displays all of the forums with the first one selected. I know many users are not good readers (sorry 🙂 ) so, when they type the title and message they just hit the submit button and forget to select the correct forum, so many topics are put in the wrong forum. Can someone please help me how to add a ‘please select’ to the dropdown and make it required?

Monique
I use BBpress 2.3.2. and WordPress3.6
I am trying to import my vBulletin forum and I get an error:
WordPress database error: [Table ‘XXXXXXX.user’ doesn’t exist]
Does anyone know what I need to do?
I XXXed out my user name for security but the user name is right.
Hallo,
I’ve just installed bbPress.
In my WordPress a warning appears:
Load Behavior: The author used load_textdomain instead of load_plugin_textdomain function. This may change the behavior of WordPress, because some filters and actions now no longer be executed. Please contact therefore the author.
What does the author say?

Thanks Stephen, I will try there.
I’m not familiar enough with the way BuddyPress works its ‘members’.
Jump over to http://buddypress.org and see if they can give you some pointers.
Stephen thank you for your reply.
I seem to have done this already today, though not intentionally, I have been working on resolving this for the past 6 hours.
The image below confirms that I now have 91 participants. But if you click on my ‘Members’ on my home page it states there are now 20 members (link here http://www.whichinvestmenttrust.com/members/ ).
I believe ‘Members’ comes from Buddypress and not from BBPress so I’ve been wondering if there is a disconnect there? Maybe I haven’t set it up properly.
I’ve looked through a lot of forums and posts both on BBpress, WordPress and several other websites bit I’ve not seen anyone else posting this issue.
Thanks, Dice
I moved this to its own thread, replying to a 6 year old out of date topic wasn’t quite what you needed 😉
Now just open up the WordPress dashboard and take a look at the topics panel and you can see ‘all’, ‘published’, ‘closed’ & ‘spam’ topics where you can ‘unspam’ topics as needed.
Open up your WordPress users admin eg. http://www.whichinvestmenttrust.com/wp-admin/users.php
I presume this is because your existing WordPress users before you installed bbPress do not have a ‘forum role’, set these users as ‘Participants’ and I think you will be good to go.
There is some more detailed role info here:
https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/
Gosh this is so frustrating.
When I click on ‘WangGuard Users’ it states I have 89 verified members. How does WangGuard connect with BBPress?
The 89 definitely includes members who registered on my site before I installed BBPress.
I’ve found a tool to import members it is here….. https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/
But it doesn’t seem to include WordPress members. It is just members of other forums software.
A solution might be to uninstall BBPress and install something that works better but if I uninstall BBPress will it delete my members?
I see others using http://disqus.com Maybe that would work better?
Hello,
I’m a super admin on a new WordPress install with one sub site (the main site).
When I posted to BBPress my post gets this message:
This topic is marked as spam.
…and when I go to Topics there are no topics.
…and I can’t seem to find the Spam folder anywhere to select the topic and tell BBPress that it’s not spam.
I know I’m new but please be patient with me.
Thank you,
Chris
Hi,
Before installing BBPress I had around 45 members of my site that registered via WordPress.
I’ve had new members since I installed BBPress but only some show up as members. If you browse to the members section of my site it says there are 18 members. There was 16 members this morning and 10 new ones have registered today but they BBPress forums are not counting them as members.
My website is http://www.whichinvestmenttrust.com If you click on members it states there is 18 but there are a lot more than 18 so why is it counting them up wrong?
I’m stuck. If you have any suggestions or need more information please respond. I’d love to hear from you.
Many thanks, Dice
Hello,
I am using Weaver II theme and latest version of WordPress. Here is the link to the page I am trying to put the forum on.
http://www.stan-mitchell_DOT_net/tech-forum-5/ (CHANGE THE “_DOT_” TO “.”)
I get the forum topics and I can navigate to the topics and I see the blue box saying there is a reply, but I cannot see the replies to any topics. I have deactivated all plugins and changed the theme then changed permalinks and saved then reactivated the weaver theme and reactivated plugins and still the replies do not show. I am a noob here so probably something simple but any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
That may well be the reason, but what is the solution?
surely bbpress needs to send commands to wordpress such that it produces the desired result, i.e. selecting a navigation link in a bbpress widget should navigate to the desired page in bbpress, not jump to some random news page.
If it’s fixed in 2.4 as indicated above, that’s great but that’s not released yet.
The reason for this is simple, when wordpress reads “?paged=2” it reads the second page of your posts, not the second page of your topics.
Officially users should be able to access the wordpress “admin” area since it used to be the only way users could edit any of their data, so this behaviour isn’t all that off.

Adjust your Forum attributes. These are:
Types: choose whether you are creating a Forum or category.
Forum – can contain topics and be the parent of other forums.
Category – can only contain forums (no topics). Use for organizing your forums.
…
You may, for example, have a Category “Open Source Software” with the Forums “bbPress” and “WordPress”.
…
Parent: Forums can have a hierarchical structure. If your forum is a sub-forum of another Forum or is the child of a category, add the Parent here.
This is the way that bbPress is; you’d need to make your own theme if you want it to have a forum hierarchy. This is a feature that is being added in the future, however.
