Hi All,
Hoping someone out there can help me. I am converting my old website into wordpress and am trying to import my forum into bbpress but have run into a problem. I can’t seem to get the import to start.
I fill in the database details on the import page using the details from my config.php file and then click start, the page displays the “Starting Conversion” status and the loading circle is spinning but that is as far as it gets.
I had read all the pages and guides and forum posts I can find for a week but cannot figure out where I am going wrong.
The forum I am importing is a very small forum compared to other websites and I have tried leaving the page on this status for 4 hours without any change.
Is there somewhere I can find an error log that would tell me what is going on or would anywhere have any ideas would could be the cause of this
Im running phpbb 3.1.5
Wordpress Version 4.2.3
Thanks in advance
Richard
Well backing up your forums, for all the data on your site,you backup your database. Just the bbPress post types and data from all that, I might need to do some testing. It might just be using the export tool in WordPress Tools section, it might be using a plugin to backup one forum at a time, or whatever alternative I can find.
If you guys haven’t already try some troubleshooting.

Don’t know what you mean by FTP, the only I don’t think normal users on your site would know your sites FTP information. You can edit theme and plugin files though, but disallow that.
You can deactivate features by going to settings > forums in the WordPress backend.
The regular WordPress email a user gets when registering, and hopefully no confusion with BuddyPress??

This topic was for issues made in bbPress version 1 which was a standalone version, the latest is a plugin for WordPress. The registration process on your site is mostly handled by WordPress. bbPress does have a registration form shortcode, but even that kind of piggybacks off of the WordPress registration form. If there is something wrong with your regular WordPress emails, which might include new comment emails for WordPress comments then you definitely need to hear from your hosting provider. If it is just the registration emails sent to users, you might need to contact WordPress support on their forums. https://it.wordpress.org/forums/
Hello there,
8 year after the making of this thread, i’m still having the same problem. I’m italian (sorry for my english), and i’m using and italian hosting (Aruba.it). I’ve tryed the email script in PHP (mailer.php) and it worked (even if the email arrived as spam), i’m using an email created on the service provider as email for WordPress…so what’s wrong? Looks like BBpress changed a lot and can’t work on the files as someone said in the thread cause they’ve changed. I’m also trying to contact the hosting, but still didn’t get any answer.
Any ideas?
wordpress version: 4.2.3
bbPress version: 2.5.8
site url: http://simplecerts.co/forums/
I’ve create a few forums on the back-end but only my first forum created displays on the page. What additional information would you need to potential identify the issue?
send the details to my email, but only for subscriber/participant role for now.

Are you running any special bbPress set up?
– I’m just running the default bbPress fresh from install
Does this happen to all user roles?
– Yes, it happens to all roles
I am going to assume on your fresh install you just have the latest stable version of bbPress and WordPress and no other plugins activated while using a default theme?
– Yes. I am using Twenty Fifteen theme. Up to date. No other plugins activated. The moment I activate bbPress users can no longer log out.
Thanks
Go to Appearance > Widgets in the WordPress backend.
whichever sidebar you placed the bbPress login widget, go to it, edit the widget settings and change the links in the widget.
Hello. I use bbPress on the latest wordpress version and running into trouble. I spent half of hour exploring bbPress source code but i couldn’t find the file which generates “Forgot password” and “Register” links in bbPress Login Widget. I really need to changed, for my site, to do not use wp-login page. I want to use my own configured pages /login and /register.
How can i do that?
Thank you very much!

Alright I might report this as a bug, but I need steps to duplicate the issue. And could you answer these questions to help me, know where you are at?

Yes, I did.
I created a fresh install of wordpress here: test.webshrimp.uk
The only plugin activated is bbpress and the logout doesn’t work. As soon as it is deactivated the logout link works. It is 100% bbpress causing the issue. I don’t know why it is appending redirect links to the logout button either.
Thanks
Its not a plugin specific error. Your server just can’t handle too much memory usage. WordPress may need more memory to use for your site. It has increased the minimum requirements before.
https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/21646
You can follow the link I placed above then follow another link to show you some code to add to your wp-config.php file and see if that fixes your issue, in most cases it likely will. In some situations your server will cap the allowed memory so you may need to contact them about increasing it more.
If you want you can also google your issue and you will see countless posts on the wordpress.org forums about this, and they have the same exact answer.
Yeah this issue is not because of the bbPress plugin but your site does not have enough memory.

Hello,
Is there a final version of the script? I tried the one linked by @netweb on github, but it freezes after 2100 answers.
And if I try to import the users also, I get the following error:
WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘forum.boardType’ in ‘field list’]
SELECT convert(wbb1_1_board.boardID USING “utf8mb4”) AS boardID,convert(wbb1_1_board.parentID USING “utf8mb4”) AS parentID,convert(wbb1_1_board.threads USING “utf8mb4”) AS threads,convert(wbb1_1_board.posts USING “utf8mb4”) AS posts,convert(wbb1_1_board.title USING “utf8mb4”) AS title,convert(wbb1_1_board.description USING “utf8mb4”) AS description,convert(wbb1_1_board.sortOrder USING “utf8mb4”) AS sortOrder,convert(forum.boardType USING “utf8mb4”) AS boardType,convert(forum.isClosed USING “utf8mb4”) AS isClosed FROM wbb1_1_board AS wbb1_1_board LIMIT 0, 100</blockquote
With bbPress activated and logging out from the backend using the WordPress toolbar.

Without bbPress activated and logging out from the backend using the WordPress toolbar.
http://localhost/mysite/wp-login.php?loggedout=true
With bbPress activated and logging out from the bbPress login widget on my front page.
localhost/mysite/?loggedout=true
Did you already go through some troubleshooting to see if it was an issue in your plugins or theme??
What is the error??
I have my localhost server running the latest WordPress and bbPress and I do not see an issue.
I also tested one of my live test sites, and still do not see an issue.
My server auto updated my website to the new WordPress 4.2.3 and now when bbPress is active my site breaks. I’ve since change the setting on my server so that it does not auto update but I still have the problem of my bbPress plugin wont work. When activated a Fatal Error occurs. Has anyone else had this problem?
In Settings > Forums in the WordPress backend.
Set Forum Root should show Topics by Freshness.
I created a fresh install of WordPress and bbpress here:
test.webshrimp.uk
BBpress is currently activated, note how the logout links are not working. As soon as I deactivate Bbpress it works fine
Hi there,
When I insert a picture from WordPress in topic, there is “a blank” between the “top” of the topic and the picture. I get the same issue with “blockquote”.
Here is an example.
How can I solve it?
I thank you in advance
