Greetings WordPress/bbPress people!
I have finally abandoned DotNetNuke in favor of WordPress. I have to say I am quite pleased with the simplicity with which I was able to set it up.
After looking around for what the Interwebs conclude is the best WP forum I selected this one.
After a ridiculously easy install I got bbPress up and running as well.
NOW… If I can only figure out how to add a forum to a page I would be on my way. I am sure this is an easy thing to do once you know how to do it…
Incidentally, my WP install is located at http://politicule.com/wp while my forums are at http://politicule.com/wp/?forum=politicule-community-forums-2&preview=true&preview_id=23&preview_nonce=86034f336b
I appreciate your assistance in advance!
Hi all.
Can bbpress be constructed to be visible as the main site where the WordPress site is installed? i.e. http://domain.com is the main WP site and http://domain.com/bbpress is the wordpress site.
What I am looking for is creating http://domain.com the main bbpress site, skipping the WP blog.
Advise is appreciated.
Thanks.
Thanks to AWJunkie we are proud to announce the official release of bbConverter, the only tool you will ever need to convert your current forums for use with bbPress 2x.
Currently supported platforms:
1. bbPress 1x
2. Vbulletin 3x – 4x
3. Invision Power Board
Future platform support already in progress:
1. PHPbb 3x
2. Xenforo
Platforms being considered
1. myBB
Download:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbconverter/
Installation:
1. Upload the bbConverter folder to the
/wp-content/plugins/directory2. Activate bbConverter through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
3. Go into your WordPress admin under ‘Settings’ and choose ‘Converter’
4. BACKUP YOUR WORDPRESS DATABASE!
5. Choose the platform you want to convert from and fill in the database information. Click start
6. Once the conversion has completed, visit the WordPress Admin ‘Tools’ section and click ‘Recount’
7. Do NOT deactivate the plugin once it is finished as it is needed for user password management.
Did I forget to mention — BACKUP YOUR WORDPRESS DATABASE BEFORE STARTING!
Important Note:
It is important to understand that this script is going to be modifying your wordpress database in order to bring over your forums/topics/replies/tags/ and users from your old forum setup. This means we are directly modifying your database which means backup is paramount.
Ok, now that is out of the way, let’s get to the plugin itself.
Each Forum sofware, whether bbPress 1x, vbulletin, or Invision Powerboard, has its own configuration file. For example vbulletin calls the file config.php
This is the file which contains your database connection information and you need to save this information in order to fill out the plugin start screen.
Required options:
1. Platform you are converting from – dropdown
2. Database server — usually localhost
3. Database port — (example: vbulletin uses 3306)
4. Database Username
5. Database Password
6. Database Name
7. Database Table Prefix — If you installed your forum software using a prefix enter it here. ( example: vbulletin default uses vb_ ) If there is no prefix, then leave it blank.
8. Rows Limit — This represents the number of database rows the plugin will convert during a single cycle. I would start this number at 50 or below at first. Keep in mind that forum conversion takes a huge load on the server mysql so if you are on a shared host, you may want to notify your host before running the script.
If you are on a dedicated server with shell access, then I would suggest opening up a terminal window and monitoring the resources. You can change the ‘Rows Limit’ at any time while the script is running. I have gone as high as 2500 instead of 50 on my servers. ( don’t click stop/start as it is not needed to change the limits )
9. Delay time — Suggested to use 1. This is the number of seconds that the server waits between the conversion cycles. It gives your server a second to catch its breath.
Other Options:
1. Clean — If something actually goes wrong, then you can choose to clean the database. This will effectively remove all the imported data and allow you to start the conversion over.
2. Restart — Restart allows you to pick up where the script left off should you have the need to stop and start the process. Example is when your browser or computer window closes during the conversion process. If you close the browser during conversion for any reason, then the conversion stops.
3. Users — You have the option of choosing not to import your users. If you are using bbPress 1x and have the forums linked to your WordPress install already, then you do not need to import users. Do not check the box. Otherwise you do want to import your users.
Once Import is complete:
1. Recount — Once everything is finished, then go to the wp-admin/tools and choose recount. This is going to present you with a screen full of checkboxes. Check every box and click submit. This is going to line up all the topic/replies/user posts counts etc.
2. Keep bbConverter plugin active after conversion.
bbConverter has a special script which will allow your users to maintain their old forum username and password. In a nutshell, when a user signs in for the first time after the forums convert, the script will check their old password, validate it, and then use the WordPress system to generate the identical password for the user in the appropriate place. This means that you need to keep bbConverter active until every single user has logged into the forums in order to maintain password management. This is not at all resource intensive, and you won’t even notice the plugin running in the background.
That’s it your finished.
O, did I mention… BACKUP YOUR WORDPRESS DATABASE FIRST!
Enjoy!
Dude you mean bbPlugin or bbPress (StandAlone vr.)?
For the StandAlone one you must put your language files into
my-languagesand for bbPlugin put them into WordPress language directory with name likebbpress-fa_IR.poor .mo. themes and plugins have a directory for translations, if have not code a textdomain for it
We’re using WordPress 3.2.1, BuddyPress 1.5, and bbPress 2.0 and seem to have run across an issue with the forum home permalink not being correctly set, or so it seems. Perhaps I’m missing something
. Any help is greatly appreciated!The Code
We’re attempting to simply output the basename of the permalink and use that in an IF/ELSE statement using the following to generate:
<?php
$gettheslug = basename(get_permalink());
?>
The Problem
For the purpose of this post, we’ll say that we have bbPress set to http://site.ext/community/. We need to grab ‘community’ from the URL, which is what the code above ‘should’ do, but doesn’t. Instead, it’s grabbing the basename for the last forum we created and continues to update as we create new forums/categories.
To get the basename, we’ve simply echo’ed out $gettheslug in the header. This works for all other areas of the website, except with the bbPress portion which is what’s so confusing
.Perhaps we’re doing something wrong, perhaps I’m doing something wrong. As above, any help is much appreciated.
Hello
I am in the process of making the switch from phpBB to bbPress (once the importer is out of beta). My two questions: how will the current catalog of bbPress plugins work within the new bbPress 2.0 (WordPress plugin)? How are they installed?
I searched for this info here and could not really find a definite answer.
Thanks in Advance.
Hi All,
Sorry if this has been resolved somewhere else, I’ve tried searching the forums and haven’t found anything.
My problem is that I’ve installed the bbPress plugin into a clean install of wordpress, and when testing it tried a simple JavaScript insert. Open script tag, alert “Oh Dear” and close the script tag.
When I posted this, it went through. The page alerted the text. Each time the page loads, it runs the JavaScript.
So, my question is: Is there a way of stopping this? I’m pretty new to WordPress and *very* new to bbPress, but have been loving what I’ve been seeing so far. I really don’t want to have to try something else when this solution seems to tick every box but this.
Topic: Blank forum posts.
Hi,
On the site I look after I’m having an issue of forum posts coming out blank. If I look at the database rows for the blank posts, they all have
<br />as the post_text.I have not managed to replicate the issue myself, nor see any pattern as to why it’s happening.
I’m using:
WordPress MU 2.9.2
BuddyPress 1.2.3
BBpress 1.0.2
Any idea what could be causing it?
Thanks!
Topic: Where is my Forum?
I’ve installed the bbPress plugin and activated it through WordPress 3.1. I’ve created a New Forum and published it. However I can’t see it on my blog site – thruxton.yogaha.com. I then created a page called Forum – but this didn’t show the new bbPress forum page. I can view the bbPress forum page I created – looks ok – but I don’t know how it gets shown in the Menu? Any help please? Thank you.
I was attempting to import bbPress 2.0 (tools –> import –> bbPress Standalone) and something bad happened. Immediately, I was locked out of WordPress and cannot log back in.
I get “ERROR: Username Invalid.” Basically, it’s saying that my username doesn’t exist anymore.
I think it’s because when the bbPress was migrating the forum usernames, it caused an overwrite in the WP-Admin usernames, because of the cookies and master keys used in bbPress. How do I reinstate my admin username?
I have a backup file and I have myPHP via Hostgator. But I have no idea how to reinstate any of this. Please help me, I’m freaking out!
When using internet explorer to view own profile or just view other players profiles it loads up a 404 Error, it works perfectly fine in other browsers i have tested it on other machines and Chrome and firefox work 100% but that dam I.E is causing me alot of hassle.
Its set up as a wordpress website with bbpress plugin activated any ideas?
Thanks
Tom
