1) In the yellow status window of the importer if you right click in Firefox/Chrome ‘inspect element’ you can check the SQL queries that the importer ran, have a look at the SQL query for the user import and check if that is what the SQL query should be.
The from/join logic is in converter.phpL#777 and you can use that as a guide to how to translate your query to the fields you are mapping.
2) I would not worry about this option as once you have finished the import and start to run the ‘repair forums’ tools the last option is “Remap existing users to default forum roles” and that will set all users without a bbPress role to ‘participant’
Feel free to throw any questions you have here as I am trying to fix a join for the Invision.php importer as we speak and its being a pain also š
What do you want to know?
There is no need to reverse engineer anything, just grab the latest copy of Example.php either from /bbpress/includes/admin/converters/ or the latest updated version I am working on here and start modifying the table mappings as per the docs in the codex.

Just installed this forum and am very disappointed. I installed mingle forum as well and out of the box it is fantastic. But do not like the fact that the theme does not integrate with the site theme. This integrates with the theme but thats all it does. I have spend hours trying to get the sidebar to work and finally found a plugin called WP tweaks. Okay side bar works, but then no topis are visible and no menu items are visible to allow me to post a reply or create a topic.
Everywhere i look, I see folks telling that you have to change the code in one file or the other. Really? Come on folks before you deploy a piece of software at least make sure it works and has the basic functions before marketing it as easy to use and a 10 minute install.
I am a big Joomla fan and atleast Joomla plugins work and we do not have to change every php or html file. I like WordPress a lot, but a lot of the plugins are badly coded like this one.
Am removing this forum and will give it a 1 star for too many problems right out of the box. I need to hire programmers just to get the basics working.
No where in the documentation it talks about the sidebar issue and these other problems. But I can see why this would be a programmers dream. It is job secuerity for them so they can spend hours on making the basics work. Switching to Mingle.
Unfortunate.

No.
That is less than one sentence, bbPress requires WordPress as everything bbPress is stored within WordPress’ database tables, it does not use its own database tables for anything including user login, registration and management.
You don’t need to show WordPress ‘blog’ pages on the homepage and you can make bbPress the ‘homepage’ essential a page on your current site.
You would have to look at how you could integrate single sign on for your current users with WordPress.
@noumaan I just tested this and everything works as expected with a WordPress user with the WP role ‘Subscriber’ and bbPress role ‘Keymaster’
These following are the only admin panels available/visible in the WP admin dashboard:
- Home – Right now in forums (stats)
- bbPress Forums, Topics and Replies panels
- Profile (Edit own profile)
- Tools -> Forums (Repair, Import & Reset bbPress tools)
- Settings -> Forums (Main bbPress settings)
I’m having a bit of an issue with bbPress and WPML. For some reason it loads every single wordpress post ever created under the actual forum.
See: http://www.touhou.si/forums/forum/testingissoawesome/
Has anyone seen anything like that before?
Hey guys,
I’m here to find a forum that I can integrate in a website I develop in my free time (http://www.carspending.com/). I need absolutely minimalistic forum software with i18n support and basically that’s most of it. But I’m not interested in WordPress, for now.
So, in one sentence – is it possible to integrate bbPress and create single sign-on, without WordPress at all? Have someone done it? Are there tutorials on the sign system of bbpress?
I read this entire thread and I am still unclear about this. On my site, I am trying to make a user Keymaster. The user’s WordPress role is subscriber and I want them to have the forum role of the keymaster. The problem is that the user can not see Forums menu item on their dashboard and can not perform keymaster actions. So how do we make someone a keymaster without giving them access to administration of the whole site?
Hi,
Setting up a WordPress membership site with bbPress. All is well except this site uses an external program for membership control and all email and password changes must be done in the external program.
I noticed that bbPress allows a user to edit their WP profile. I need to block this. I don’t need a forum program to give a user the ability to change their WP profile. Any help on how to remove the “Edit” link from the profile page would be greatly appreciated.
I have updated Mingle.php over in trac here with what I hope should fix things up.
Let me know what other issues you have found that we might be able to improve upon also.
I created #2172 and patched the issue of ‘special characters’ in ‘blogname’ for bbPress subscription emails.
I’m still looking into the @mentions and I cannot reproduce it.
Do you get this error for every @mention in your forums?
Just realised, the reason that you see the ’ in the URL is JUST THIS FORUM. It’s obviously stripping the second apostrophe JUST IN THIS FORUM.
Ignore that, it’s in 2 single quotes in my error log, it’s just because I’ve not posted it as code here.
I’ll try again here, see if it includes the second single quote.

The URL displays fine in the error log, hopefully it will here now too.
Cheers for the update Stephen!
I’m still getting it, every single time I use an @mention>
Here’s one I got tonight:

Any idea what I may need to change in my DB to stop this?
With regards to the email being sent out, the SUBJECT appears like this: (apostrophe is output as '
[My Site – The Actors' Network] Topic Name
So the apostrophe should appear as The Actors’ Network, but it’s stripped.
Not sure if the 2 problems are associated?
Thanks so much for your time!

Hey fellow forumites. We’ve been using bbPress 2 to much delight over at jmonkeyengine.org for a little while now. After transitioning from the legacy BuddyPress forum, we needed a couple custom plugins made to reach feature parity with our old forum. One of our members, destroflyer, brilliantly stepped up to the task and made these plugins:
Please be aware that @destroflyer cannot actively support these plugins (legitimate bug reports are welcome of course) since their original intent was for in-house use, and he’s making them public as a courtesy.
Enjoy!
I’ve made some good progress with TinyEditor. It’s indeed very fast and implementation has not been super complicated (so far).
But again; mobile browsers are not the greatest browsers.
Typing and submitting works fine on iOS. Formatting however is lost somehow.
Kindle (Android) still claims it can’t load wp-comments-post.php.
With both selecting text, and applying formatting is a disaster. Often the selection “hint” (Select, Select All, Copy, etc) overlaps the buttonbar of the editor.
Note: At this moment (to keep things easy) I’m only testing this in WordPress comments. Once that works OK I’m going to try to use it for bbPress posts.
During installation in wordpress 3.5 I noticed error:
Loading Issue: Author is using load_textdomain instead of load_plugin_textdomain function. This may break behavior of WordPress, because some filters and actions won’t be executed anymore. Please contact the Author about that
Never mind Redactor – it’s commercial.
Great editor but it wouldn’t fit in the license model either WordPress or bbPress.
I agree; this is more something bbPress inherited from WordPress I’m assuming, since WP brings us tinyMCE. The issues at hand appear common knowledge in the tinyMCE community – and it appears that most WYSIWYG editors have similar problems.
2 WYSIWYG editors stood out so far for me to consider doing some testings with:
– TinyEditor (super small and very responsive)
– Redactor (little bigger but much more functionality, yet still responsive
As for a bug/issue ticket; where do we do that? and wouldn’t this a bug/issue for WordPress?
Can someone help me ?
I tried to add a shortcode to my page but it does nothing…
Thanks
You may want to check your database table wp_options for the entry with the option_key of āwp_user_rolesā.
When I had this problem, it was because that entry had become corrupt and didnāt have all the user roles (with their respective permissions) listed in it.
I agree we need to look at this a bit more… I was using copy and paste with ‘Note’ on the iPad (3rd Gen) the other day to post here as noted above for Android ‘it will let me type, but nothing appears in the editor’ was the same behaviour I had with the iPad.
Can you create a ticket on trac so we can start to get some detailed device tests on how the editor is behaving for WordPress, bbPress and bbpress.org and go from there… It may be a core issue with WordPress that bbPress then inherits.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/
I’ve seen a lot of talk since the changes in permissions and not being a coder myself, am limited insofar as what I can do to get around the various constraints. I’m also relatively new to bbPress.
Basically, I need functionality that this plugin provides for older versions of bbPress: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/forum-restrict/ – Deciding what users get access to which private forums.
Are there any good or reasonably reliable solutions anyone can recommend? I have Justin Tadlock’s members, I’ve had the user role editor, but honestly I’m hesitant to try a whole lot with them based on my limited understanding of how the capabilities are done and/or what changes to expect.
Suggestions very much appreciated.
I see the ticket @Alexandru Vornicescu linked to — https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2121 — was closed and marked as invalid. The response being ‘Run the user role reset tool in: Tools > Forums’
However, I was having the same issue and running the ‘role reset’ tool did not fix the issue for me. So, I’m not sure the issue is invalid.
I could not get this issue fixed until I followed the instructions found on this post – https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/fix-404-issue-for-bbpress-2-2-x/
Right now I have a script that connects to an external db outside of WordPress and authenticates a user’s “Customer ID” before showing the bbPress login form, but logging in redirects me to WordPress. This is the process.
1. When they enter the Customer ID, I pass a parameter to the URL like “website.com/?cid=1234” — the “cid” represents the customer id.
2. Then it shows the bbPress login form populated using “add_shortcode([‘bbp-login’]);” which then logs in correctly.
3. For some reason, it redirects them to the WordPress admin panel directly after so… “website.com/wp-login.php” — this then takes me backdoor to “/wp-admin/” because it knows I’ve already logged in.
This only happens when I enter the website with the “cid” parameter alreadyĀ passed in. So if I enter the website with “website.com/?cid=1234”. I do this to bypass the first authentication so the user doesn’t always have to. SO WEIRD!!
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Thank you, that was the fix I was looking for.
