Hi,
First time here so please be gentle.
I run a moderately popular vBulletin 4.1 site with 11,000+ users, 13,900+ threads and 39,000 posts. The users very rarely use any of the “power” features of vBulletin and I want to fully integrate the board into WordPress.
My preference would be to transfer using the script from vBulletin to bbPress, or alternatively to use a site like cms2cms. My main concern is what will happen to my Google search rankings. At the moment the site is very well spidered by Google and we are the no.1 search result for a number of very important key words, phrases.
Is there any way I can redirect all the posts, threads etc to the new bbPress so that my ranking would not be seriously affected? I am not that technically minded when it comes to robot files etc, so any help would be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
In the background without editing bbpress at wordpress template function, there
Can you help me to understand your problem more Clearly
In the background without editing bbpress at wordpress template function, in the plug-in, bbpress at only. PHP and a few other files of the root directory, but there is no editable bbpress at template function at the bottom of the template?
Well, I think I’ve found a better workaround than the Network Activate Solution.
Based on a lead from this topic from a year ago https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/missing-admin-menu-items/ , I tried activating Capability Manager Enhanced (https://wordpress.org/plugins/capability-manager-enhanced/) and surprise! There were the missing capabilities, not checked, not active, in the Capability Manager settings.
So I just enabled all the forum-related capabilities for administrators (could do this for any role, I’m sure) in CME, and that made everything work again for the site administrators, even when bbPress is not activated network-wide.
So that’s a much better solution (from my perspective, at least). If you want to use bbPress in multisite, just be sure to also use Capability Manager Enhanced on any site where you want the site admin to have the capability to add/edit/delete/manage forums.
You are using WordPress 4 and there is a bug for bbPress forum posts.

Hello there
I fail in inserting / embedding an m4v video into a forum posts. Posts show text and images as intended, but for videos, just the smart tag is shown:
[video width="640" height="640" m4v="video.m4v"][/video]
What am I doing wrong?
I run wordpress 4 and bbpress 2.5.4
Help is much appreciated.

Hi All
Is it possible to limit the WordPress plugin bbpress to a single forum? And by-pass the forums list and go straight into the topics for the forum.
I have checked the settings and there does not appear to be any way of doing this.
Thanks
Can anyone answer my question in detail?
How do i add featured image to a bbpress forum post from wordpress post editor page?
you may need to rule out other factors, as far as I know bbpress works with woocommerce eg
bbPress WooCommerce Integration: Tutorial on How to setup a Paid Forum on WordPress
bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes
It could be a theme or plugin issue
Plugins
Deactivate all but bbpress and woocommerce and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
Themes
If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.
I’m just a simple user of wordpress so I’ll appreciate if u can give the pacific solution for my problem.
As I said
Suggest you go to the plugin author for a fix.

I am using bbpress ver 2.5.4
This is my problem. Spectator can not post (want to change this) spectator can not see private forums (which I want to keep the same)
Contributor can post (I do want) Can see private forums (dont want)
This is what i want to do. I want to either make it so a spectator can post and not see private forums or I want to set it up a new default subscriber role that can post in normal forum sections but can not see or post in private sections until I turn them into contributor.
How do I do this? I am using bbpress as a plugin for my wordpress site not on wordpress.org
Thanks
Hi Robin,
Thank’s for reply. I did some googling before i asked the question. I’m just a simple user of wordpress so I’ll appreciate if u can give the pacific solution for my problem.
for the moment leave it active, the next version of wordpress may fix the issue, but otherwise just leave it there
@robin-w With the code you’ve written now the various parts of the forum is bigger.
The problem is that I can not change manualente all parts of the theme.
The theme for bbPress does not have a css because it goes to get the css of wordpress theme right?
As ever with the theme HUEman this does not happen?
Very thanks

Today I updated my wordpress from 3.9 to 4.0. Now all the forum’s topics vanished. The forum shows “sorry brother no topics…..”. In my WP Dashboard, the topics are there but when i open its ‘view’ link, the topics are not there except the title of the topic.
Previously, i.e. before wordpress update, everything was fine and I haven’t installed any new plugins
I am using bbpress version 2.5.4
Someone do suggest. the forum is important part of my site.
Im using the latest bbspress with wordpress 4.0 with paid membership pro. When I post a topic I can see it and any one else that post. When a user goes to a topic they can’t see what I posted but what they posted. This is going on two sites. Could this be a bug? Even some one who is not logged in can’t see my post but they can see others.

Hi
I just finished an import of a former VBulletin install, including 10 forums and over 183000 replies. It took a long while but finally succeeded.
The problem is that the users imported but not associated with the correct topics and replies. In other words they are all out of sync…the wrong user with the wrong replies.
Is there a way to fix this? I have run all the repair features. But still it is not correct.
Thanks for any help.
Wordpress 4.0
BBpress Version 2.5.4
imported from VBulletin 4

Hi,
I’ve installed bbPress for WordPress in faisa.eii.us.es and it is not showing any forum/category.
It is only showing the main/root forum page, but any forum/category link showed there goes to “no page found”, so anyone can’t navigate to the subforums/subcategories inside, and no one can reach the final forum where the topics are…
Could you help me? Thanks!!
not as such
There is a POT file
bbpress/languages/bbpress.pot
see
https://codex.wordpress.org/Translating_WordPress
so you could in theory translate bbpress into your words
Presuming you have default permalinks (don’t worry if you have no idea what this means) then it is a known issue with wordpress 4.0 and is in the queue for a fix on the next release.
in the meantime you can either
move you child themes up a level
or (better) change your permalinks to ‘pretty’ ones.
see https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks for explanation of what a permalink is
go to
Dashboard>settings>permalinks and set them to ‘postname’
these anti-spammer and security plugins look interesting too, but i have not tested them myself, they should work fine with bbpress but always test carefully for possible confilicts with other plugins you are using, especially plugins that have similar functionality
https://wordpress.org/plugins/avh-first-defense-against-spam/
and wordpress security is a bigger topic than just dealing with spammers, but sorting out the specifics is up to you 🙂

not really fair to blame the bbpress developers (free software made by volunteers) for not having every possible feature built into core, all forum apps (phpbb, etc) that i am aware of require separate anti-spam plugins
bbpress itself is just a plugin for wordpress, so anti-spam is more a wordpress problem than only a bbpress problem, and there are many anti-spam wordpress plugins out there, and dealing with spammers & bots etc is a BIG topic, and a continually evolving battle for anyone running any sort of website…
otherwise, i think it would help keep this forum orderly if there were a sticky or somesuch with a maintained list of commonly requested bbpress plugins like anti-spam, polls, custom avatars, granular membership permissions, etc
here are the wordpress anti-spam plugins i mentioned in the other topic, all work well with bbpress, start with wangguard which is the easiest to use, all require careful config and monitoring to make sure they are functioning properly

Still looking for someone who can do this (you alive, Stephen?) 😉
Most recent bbPress and WordPress users from one install to another all the while linking correct admins to their corresponding posts and making sure forums, topics, and replies all remain correctly linked despite conflicting post IDs with the install we’re importing into.
