bbpress Version 2.5.4
WordPress 4.1
For whatever reason, only my posts are visibly correct in post count under user avatar in the forums. Everyone else shows as having 0 posts. I’ve tried repairing each of the repairable items in the Tools>Forums to no avail.
Ideas?
Thanks in advance.
What’s the best way to do this over without losing the imported content and without taking risks of missing content not being imported initially on the hang up?
Make sure you back up both your WordPress and vBulletin databases – and try the import on a local server using something like MAMP.
It took a pretty long time just to do the topics. It didn’t start the users yet either. You’d think it would import users first?
It takes a long time. My vBulletin import took 17 hours last time I tried it! Biggish database tho.
The order should be (I think):
- Users
- Forums
- Topics
- Tags
- Replies
So check you had the ‘Attempt to import user accounts from previous forums’ checkbox ticked.
I was importing from my Vbulletin 4 and it went through converting topics, then it started converting tags and hung about 12,900. Is this a known bug?
Unlikely a bug. It seems there might be several reasons why it might ‘hang’. For example, if you are getting a line of ‘dashes’ this meaning you’re logged out of WordPress. It could be that one of your tags has some nasty data that is tripping the import, etc.
Hi 🙂
Well I am setting up a small community for a minecraft server and we have a plugin for minecraft that will sync the ranks in game to the website http://www.spigotmc.org/resources/communitybridge.2232/
So I am trying to replicate the ranks in game on the wordpress website.
The end goal is
InGameRank -> WordPressRole -> bbPressRole
Owner -> Owner -> Owner
Co-Owner -> Co-Owner -> Co-Owner
Admin -> Admin -> Admin
Moderator -> Moderator -> Moderator
Member -> Member -> Member
Guest -> Guest -> Guest
The owner would essentially be bbPress’s keymaster but I would like to define the capabilities of each role.
Using the code I posted I am unable to change my forum role.
I am currently still set as Administrator in the Site Role.
When I select my user in the dashboard and select change the forum role to the owner rank I created and click change it just reloads the page and my forum role is still keymaster.
I am able to change other users forum roles correctly.
My main question is how to get the wordpress roles to sync to the bbPress roles effectively making it so if i change the wordpress role the bbpress role will also change.
(what is up with the tag changes I did not put those)
@skisma
The shortcodes can be used on any wordpress page
so if fro instance you wanted a menu item that display the most recent 15 topics across all your forums, so that when people selected this menu item that what they saw, then you would
1. create a page – maybe called ‘latest topics’
2. put the shortcode into the content section in this case
[bbp-topic-index]
3. add that page to the menu
Sorry for the typos in the links. Tried Edit button but get a message saying I’m not allowed to edit my post 🙁
If I can get it right this time, the links to the plugins should be:
BuddyPress Group Email Subscription
and
BuddyPress Reply by Email
I run a support network Mailman email discussion group. Some members would prefer a forum. Others prefer email. The big advantage of the Mailman group is that everyone gets all the emails and we find people joining in discussion, when they wouldn’t necessarily have logged into a forum. And it’s quicker to reply by email than to log into a web forum. And easier on a phone. So everyone benefits. At the cost of inboxes becoming crowded on a busy day.
A compromise would be to have a forum that has email access – both notification of new posts and replies, and the ability to post messages and replies by email.
I’m new to forums and not sure where to begin.
Can I do this with bbPress? Or is it better to use BuddyPress?
Do I need plugins for the email functions?
I came across < href=”https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-group-email-subscription/”>BuddyPress Group Email Subscription and BuddyPress Reply by Email. Do these work with bpPress or only with the full BuddyPress? Are there other plugins that will work well?
By the way, it’s a private group and people should be able to keep their email addresses private if wished. I saw some posts here that said email addresses were CC in notifications instead of BCC, which is a problem. And other posts saying that BCC notifications weren’t getting through spam filters.
Sorry to leap in and ask so much in one go. I’m a bit lost trying to work out what setup to try.
Thank you.
Greeting from Alabama,
I am completely new BBpress but not so much with wordpress. I would like to add a tinymce editor that mimics the wordpress editor. I search the forum but most of the solutions seem out date or dont work. I have tried a couple plugins but they dont seem to affect the bbpress editor.
Searching through the examples of bbpress forums i found tamierlfoundry and would like to implement this tinymce editor
View post on imgur.com
Is there a tutorial on how this can be done
(I post this once before but it didnt show up as posted)
Hello all. Just a couple questions, because clearly I’m doing something wrong.
1) Is SMF.3.php on this page the correct final revision of the file needed to import?
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2380
2) Is that name of SMF.3.php correct, or should I rename it to SMF.php?
3) In what directory should I place the file?
4) In Tools > Forums > Import Forums > Select Platform, I have SMF, SMF.2, and SMF.3 available. I want SMF.3.php correct?
When I put SMF.3.php in /public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/converters and select “SMF.3” as the platform in the import tool, I get this message:
Fatal error: Class ‘SMF.3’ not found in /home/dark/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/converter.php on line 1475
Would someone please set me straight on all this?
Hi, I was just following back up to see if you had info on how I could edit my server files to add key master to a user? It’s still not there and I can’t find a way to add it on the WordPress dashboard. Thanks.
see this article for info on bbpress test data –
3 Quick Ways to Create bbPress Test Data
or just download and import this file –

we are not dead :/
@netweb is the bbPress community’s import specialist
the guy is most likely asleep now because he was working on some bbPress tickets all night… or all day depending on Aussie time??
as for bbcodes bbcodes is not a default feature for bbPress you would need an additional plugin for that.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/gd-bbpress-tools/ this plugin comes with a quote feature and more.
there is another plugin called bbpress 2 bbcode which would also need the whitelist plugin by the same developer.
add this to functions.php in your child theme
/**
* Include bbPress 'topic' custom post type in WordPress' search results
*/
function ntwb_bbp_topic_cpt_search( $topic_search ) {
$topic_search['exclude_from_search'] = false;
return $topic_search;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_register_topic_post_type', 'ntwb_bbp_topic_cpt_search' );
/**
* Include bbPress 'reply' custom post type in WordPress' search results
*/
function ntwb_bbp_reply_cpt_search( $reply_search ) {
$reply_search['exclude_from_search'] = false;
return $reply_search;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_register_reply_post_type', 'ntwb_bbp_reply_cpt_search' );
got the code from here

Hi!
How to make the bbpress content show in wordpress search? I create a custom search:
<div class="col-md-8 col-md-offset-4 searchform-top" id="searchform-top">
<form class="input-group" role="search" method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php echo home_url( '/' ); ?>">
<input class="form-control input-block" id="appendedInputButton" type="text" placeholder="Buscar no site" name="s" id="s">
<span class="input-group-btn">
<button class="btn btn-primary" type="submit" id="searchsubmit">Buscar</button>
</span>
</form>
</div>
But bbpress results not appear when i search it.
Using WordPress 4.0
BBPress 2.5.4
I am new to BBPress to start with. We moved our site from one host to a new host. We mapped all the users with the posts/forums/replies. Then all of a sudden all Forums/Topics/Replies are all showing as the Default Keymaster (we have 2 one as support and one for our client).
So Forum public show as Admin but the Creator of the forum in the back end shows the correct person. I have tried repairing the various areas of the forum.
Is there away to change the Author in bulk say to the default Keymaster to another Keymaster.
HELP!
you can place this code into your child themes functions.php file
/**
* Include bbPress 'topic' custom post type in WordPress' search results
*/
function ntwb_bbp_topic_cpt_search( $topic_search ) {
$topic_search['exclude_from_search'] = false;
return $topic_search;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_register_topic_post_type', 'ntwb_bbp_topic_cpt_search' );
/**
* Include bbPress 'reply' custom post type in WordPress' search results
*/
function ntwb_bbp_reply_cpt_search( $reply_search ) {
$reply_search['exclude_from_search'] = false;
return $reply_search;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_register_reply_post_type', 'ntwb_bbp_reply_cpt_search' );
got the code from here, i see you also commented on it to 🙂
https://gist.github.com/ntwb/7363a1de1184d459f0c3
if you were here I’d give you a big kiss.
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh , your welcome i guess?? haha
about it not being updated in over a year , the plugin is very simple it basically just outputs a shortcode at the bottom of blog posts.
and also that this functionality is going to be implemented in the future release of bbPress.
so when the update comes and says bbPress for WordPress comments in the changelog of the plguin. you can pretty much just remove the topics for posts plugin from there on and just use bbPress.
i havent found a plugin that can do such thing especially allow users to select the tag , sort of like how reddit forums operate.
to hire a dev you can go to http://jobs.wordpress.net/
It is the plugin. I had it turned off because WordPress warns that it hasn’t been updated for over a year.
@robkk if you were here I’d give you a big kiss. I’ve had over 30 emails/contact form messages from website members complaining about the forums disappearing. My web designer in in the Arctic for Xmas, I couldn’t find anyone else with bbPress experience, couldn’t find any instance of a similar problem through many, many internet searches, it’s been a stressful 24 hours so thank you very kindly.
Hi there,
im pretty new to WordPress and css.
Till now everything worked fine but now im trying to resize my bbpress forum (www.die-dunkle-wache.de/forum) to the whole width of the browser.
I got it to width 100% so it has the same width as the navbar, but i want it without the margin left and right (dont know if its margin or max width).
I tried to change the Template but this didnt work.
I just want the forum to resize all the other pages and the navbar schould stay like they are.
Hope u can help me.
Best Regards,
Gotzak
Yes the forums still exist @Robk but they’ve disappeared from posts.
What I mean by that is when you create a new post you have the option of adding a bbPress forum, an option which I always took so that every article has a new or an existing forum linked to it. But the option to add a forum has disappeared, and worse than that so have all the forums have disappeared from every post.
Here is a great example of a post that that had man comments and that looks ridiculous without its forum:
http://whichinvestmenttrust.com/investor-clinic-income-life-required-inheritance/
Thor forum is always at the bottom of the page.
I don’t understand how I simply cannot have forums on my posts any more and after 20 hours of searching around the internet I have no semblance of an answer.
How does bbPress integrate with WordPress? What would prevent it from suddenly not integrating?
This is a known error that occurs in some circumstances.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2412
The fix is to deactivate WP_DEBUG in wp-config
This is just information and should not affect its working
Hi,
still waiting for a solution! Imported users not able to login to wordpress.
thanks

Okay,
I did install a complete fresh wordpress with only bbpress. Then I added
function bbp_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
$args['tinymce'] = true;
return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_enable_visual_editor' );
to the functions.php of “Twenty Fourteen”. And again, the same problem as described above. I have to click row one. If I click below it nothing happens.
But – I also found out, that it is a problem of “Chrome” only. Everything is working fine in Firefox and others. Here the cursor jumps to row one if I click into the text field.
So I guess it might not be a problem of bbpress… Not sure.
Any Ideas?
