Cool, I’ll add this back in `‘from_expression’ => ‘WHERE User.Deleted = 0′`.
I removed it as if there is a `‘from_expression’` in the template it takes precedence and ignores any `‘join_’` expressions. So I need to dig around `converter.php` and find why it is ignoring the `’join_’` expressions when converting the users.
The `callback_savepass` & `authenticate_pass` is where we add any extra password algorithms if needed for non WordPress passwords (phpBB.php importer is a good example)
I deleted my Facebook account a couple of years ago so I won’t be doing any FB stuff 😉
The docs are now up also,
@brokentwig Key changes from your great work getting this started
- Topic tags are now included
- Once bbPress core converter is updated we can filter the users imported
- Added Topic Closed Status
- Inline docs consistent with other importers
- Whitespace and code formatting improved
- Uses parser.php to convert HTML & Smilies
- Reply status not needed, defaults are built into converter.php
- Reply Order removed, this is calculated during the import
The to do list:
- Remove the `callback_savepass` & `authenticate_pass` as you rightly point out they are not needed and Vanilla uses the same hash as WordPress for passwords so this is too easy.
If you see any bugs with the converter `Vanilla.php` please post these to the trac ticket here.
If there is anything else that needs doing before or after the import that I have not already listed in the codex docs if you could add/update these that would be great.

I bet there are quite many here that would like a translation for their bbPress, but the translation files are not complete. Why don’t you help a little? There are quite a lot to translate (almost 1000 sentences), but if we all contribute it will not take that long. Go to http://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/2.2.x and help to complete the translation into your language!
I got this great TinyMCE plugin, Ultimate TinyMCE, that works just great with WP. It does everything you want, but the most used functions for me is uploading images and inserting smileys.
When you turn on the “Use the fancy WordPress editor to create and edit topics and replies” it shows up in bbPress too, but only admin can use the extra functions enabled. Take the smileys for instance. If you make a post of just smileys it tells you “ERROR: Your reply cannot be empty.”. If you write som text and include a smiley, it posts the text without the smiley. It is the same with images.
What is happening? It does not matter what forumrole the user has. He can be key admin, makes no difference. Only WP Admin can post smileys and images on my forum, and I would like to change that. Does anyone know what is wrong here?
bbPress 2.2.4 (now available for download) is a maintenance and security release, and a safe and easy update for all previous bbPress 2.x versions.
Version 2.2.4 includes some security hardening inside the Forum Importer/Converter tool, and improves post form output sanitization. These issues were responsibly disclosed by Maty Siman.
Download 2.2.4 now or visit Dashboard → Updates in your site admin to update now.
I have reviewed bbpress plugin source, but can’t find clue to add link for next, previous topics in templates file (/bbpress folder)
Is this going to be future bbpress development plan?
I am curious how you can easily navigate topics while reading it.
Hello,
I use Simple Press 5.2.2 with WordPress 3.4.2, and I want to migrate my forum to bbpress 2.2.4 (on the same installation of WordPress).
My forum currently has 29 forums, 768 topics and 4324 posts, which is not so huge.
I try to migrate with the plugin “SimplePress 5 Import”, but the process stops at 490 :/ In fact it created the forums, a lot of the topics and posts, but it miss all the Reply.
I do not know where it blocks or why.
In addition, I can’t restart the process: I deleted all the bbpress forums, I even made a reset bbpress, but import around in circles in the first stage.
Can you help me, I really want to migrate to bbpress?
Hi I am running a WordPress site with Genesis and the bbPress forum with the Genesis extension. For some reason my avatars are displayed weird and my links are getting the same formatting as the avatar links to peoples profiles. Any ideas what is causing this?

Hi all,
I’m starting using bbpress on a wordpress network (using also buddypress)
Everything seem fine, but there is no avatar in any off the bbpress pages :'(
I also tried using a different template.. same thing…
Ok so here is my story:
I currently have:
Wordpress 3.5
Bbpress 2.2.3
Buddypress 1.6.3
History:
Back in December everything was working great (all my bbpress forum “posts” were showing up in Google searches). I had a couple of issues with my host, and decided to deactivate the bbpress plugin for a couple of weeks.
Several weeks ago I reactivated the forum and integrated it with buddypress (merged the two forums). I had absolutely no problem doing it.
I also used google webmaster tools to point to a new sitemap created by a plugin (WordPress SEO) 3 weeks ago.
Problem:
So here is my problem. When I do an advance search on google, I only get my sites topic pages, topic tag pages, and forum pages… not the forum posts!
What can be the issue?
Here is my site: http://otakuspace.com/forums/

Hi,
We have another forum plugin called “simple press”. And these two forum plugin both work fine except that when we try to search in our “simple press” it gives us a 404 error. Is there a way to fix this? If not, is there a way to disable the bbpress plugin on a specific page? I already tried “plugin organizer” but not working.
note: When I disable bbpress, search function for “simple press” is working fine.
Wordpress version: 3.5
Thanks!

These are your WordPress settings, you need to use your phpBB database name, database user & database user password.
I tried to import Phpbb forum to bbpress, with the import tool :
http://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/
I disable Forums and start the process, and i have this :
“Repair any missing information: Continue
Conversion Complete
No replies to convert
No tags to convert
No topics to convert
No forum parents to convert
No forums to convert
No passwords to clear

”
My informations :

– Name user BDD : The user in my wp-config
– Pass : The Pass in my wp-config

and Start.
I show all the informations many times and they are all right… I don’t understand where is the problem.
Thanks for your responses
There does not seem to be a step by step manual.
`To customize bbPress:
The directory “wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/” contains the directories “bbpress”, “css”, “extras”, and “js”, and the file “bbpress-functions.php”.
“bbpress” contains template files; copy any you want to modify into a directory named “bbpress” in your theme’s root. eg. /wp-content/mytheme/bbpress/
“extras” contains optional page templates and things to make life a little easier when customizing; copy any you want to use or modify into the same ‘bbpress’ folder. eg. /wp-content/mytheme/bbpress/
“css” contains style sheets; copy any you want to modify into a directory named “css” in your theme’s root. eg. /wp-content/mytheme/css/
Edit the new files for complete control over bbPress display in your theme.`
^ I did all this and the forum stopped working at all. No other option?
Thanks.
Using wordpress 3.5
I totally uninstalled bbpress,
dropped all bbpress tables from db
but this link:
http://mysite.com/wp-admin/users.php?role=bbp_keymaster
besides premium subbscribers and others.
still there in user dashboard windows.
I’d like to get rid of it, how?
Is this the full solutions already?
Yes
Or the known issues are still there at https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/mingle/ ?
This is up to date, anything listed here are the ‘workarounds’ you will need to do manually.
1) Which folder to put this file Mingle.php ?
Download `Mingle.php` using this link and upload the file with FTP to `/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/converters`
2) Just quickly have a look at my phpMyAdmin http://visionopen.com/questions/phpMyAdmin.png, is there any potential issue(s) for me to proceed with this Mingle.php?
Everything looks good here, on the import screen where it asks for table prefix use `wp_`
Remember to backup your web site pages and database first though…
bbPress uses the permalink settings (/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bbpress) to determine if we are loading something that is bbPress, if it is bbPress we are loading then we need to load the appropriate bbPress template.
So if the CPT permalink plugin you are using is hijacking WordPress CPT’s before bbPress can detect its own CPT permalink to load a bbPress template then no bbPress template will be loaded.
One more thing Stephen, is the converter supposed to convert Topic Subscription? If not, do you have any idea where that’s stored in WordPress/bbPress?
Yeah, all the Vanilla tables are prefixed with “GDN_”. I was mostly trying to work it out in the converter file so I could share it with others that might be trying to convert. Vanilla is pretty popular, so there’s gotta be a few out there tired of Vanilla’s poor integration with WordPress. Unless there is an easy way to filter them, I’ll just run the SQL statement above, that clears them out nicely. Thanks alot for your help.
If you are going to use a plugin to hack the permalinks of bbPress, this is ‘that’ plugins support issue not a bbPress issue as permalinks in bbPress work as expected per design.
You would be far better of asking in the ‘Custom Post Type Permalinks’ support forum and even read some of those topics for similar issues.
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/custom-post-type-permalinks
Can you create a bug ticket over at trac for this please
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/
O.M.G I have finally come across the solution to my problem! Well I have only tested it in my local environment a couple of times and the issue has gone away so hopefully it’s fixed for good!
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2155
The solution was to change the `bbp_redirect_to_field()` function. I changed this function located in bbpress\includes\common\template-tags.php and the redirects now work!
Thanks bbPress team =)
Modified function:
`function bbp_redirect_to_field( $redirect_to = ” ) {
// Make sure we are directing somewhere
if ( empty( $redirect_to ) ) {
if ( isset( $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’] ) ) {
$redirect_to = ( is_ssl() ? ‘https://’ : ‘http://’ ) . $_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’] . $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’];
} else {
$redirect_to = wp_get_referer();
}
}
// Remove loggedout query arg if it’s there
$redirect_to = (string) esc_attr( remove_query_arg( ‘loggedout’, $redirect_to ) );
$redirect_field = ”;
echo apply_filters( ‘bbp_redirect_to_field’, $redirect_field, $redirect_to );
}`
bbPress’ profile pages are simply a front-end interface for the profile settings available through the WordPress dashboard.
The best approach would be to see how your external membership system is disabling this functionality in WordPress, then reproduce that for bbPress.
I think giving the user an edit profile panel in a discussion forum plugin is a bad approach
To be honest, this seems like pretty core functionality for any discussion board software. I’ve personally never encountered a forum that didn’t allow me to make changes to my profile or settings.
