Is there a way to export all forum, posts and replies in a XML file like is available in wordpress for posts, comments and all other content.
I want a one click option for exporting the content. I do not care about preserving logins.
Hi all,
I’m wondering if it’s possible to use the 2.x plug-in version of bbpress and maintain completely separate users from the wordpress site. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,

When I am logged in as keymaster, I get:
Notice: bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly. The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init(). Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 2.3.) in /home/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3049
Got a little further
WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘posts.post_title’ in ‘field list’]
SELECT convert(posts.pid USING “utf8”) AS pid,convert(posts.topic_id USING “utf8”) AS topic_id,convert(posts.topic_id USING “utf8”) AS topic_id,convert(posts.ip_address USING “utf8”) AS ip_address,convert(posts.author_id USING “utf8”) AS author_id,convert(posts.post_title USING “utf8”) AS post_title,convert(posts.post_title USING “utf8”) AS post_title,convert(posts.post USING “utf8”) AS post,convert(posts.topic_id USING “utf8”) AS topic_id,convert(posts.post_date USING “utf8”) AS post_date,convert(posts.post_date USING “utf8”) AS post_date,convert(posts.edit_time USING “utf8”) AS edit_time,convert(posts.edit_time USING “utf8”) AS edit_time FROM posts AS posts WHERE posts.new_topic = 1 LIMIT 0, 100
I then tried to import via IPB 3.4.6 -> BBPress and again, I am greeted by errors.
This time.
WordPress database error: [Table ‘decerto2_ipb.ipb_members’ doesn’t exist]
SELECT convert(members.member_id USING “utf8”) AS member_id,convert(members.members_pass_hash USING “utf8”) AS members_pass_hash,convert(members.members_pass_salt USING “utf8”) AS members_pass_salt,convert(members.name USING “utf8”) AS name,convert(members.email USING “utf8”) AS email,convert(members.joined USING “utf8”) AS joined FROM ipb_members AS members LIMIT 0, 100
No users to convert-
Does anything WORK?
That doesn’t seem right. bbp_new_forum will only fire when forums are created outside of wp-admin, like in a BuddyPress Group Forum. If you want to add meta when any new forum is created, you’ll likely need to hook into WordPress’s wp_insert_post action, instead.
For what it’s worth, here is what I ended up doing:
1. I left my “parent” forum as a category.
2. Around line 847 of bbpress/includes/forums/template.php, I added “true” to the if statement to force the “category” parent forum to be shown, as follows:
// No link for categories until we support subscription hierarchy
// @see https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2475
if ( true || bbp_is_forum_category() ) {
$retval = bbp_get_user_subscribe_link( $r );
}
3. In bbpress/templates/default/loop-single-forum.php I replaced line 44 with the following:
<?php
$subForumList = bbp_forum_get_subforums();
if(sizeof($subForumList) > 1){
echo "<ul style='margin-left: 20px;'>";
foreach($subForumList as $currForum){
// Create the arguments
$r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array('forum_id' => $currForum->ID,
'user_id' => 0,
'before' => '',
'after' => '',
'subscribe' => __( 'Subscribe', 'bbpress' ),
'unsubscribe' => __( 'x', 'bbpress' )
), 'get_forum_subscribe_link' );
$isSubscribed = bbp_get_forum_subscription_link($r);
// see if the returned html has 'is-subscribed' in it
// if it does, then the user is subscribed to the forum
if(strpos($isSubscribed, 'is-subscribed') != 0){
echo "<li>" . $isSubscribed . " <a href='" . bbp_get_forum_permalink($currForum->ID) . "'>" . $currForum->post_title . "</a></li>";
}
}
echo "</ul>";
} // end > 1
?>
Feel free to criticize, pick apart, or provide feedback as you see fit…it works for me.
I’m in the “Import Forum” section of bbpress plugin – there’s no option to select for bbPress 2 (only bbPress 1). Or am I going about this the wrong way?
I’ll be making various test imports in the using wordpress’ import/export in the meantime to see how far I can get merging these 2 sites.
Hi,
The plugin I am referring to is this one:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-topic-thumbnails/
The issue is that this one only pulls the thumbnail from the first image in the post. I want a default image to be used for all posts regardless so that the branding of the site remains consistent.
There must be a way to do this through PHP, just I do not know where to start (and I have a limited knowledge of PHP).
Cheers
Hi,
I have multisite WordPress 3.8.1 and Buddypress 1.9.1, and have just set up separate forums using the bbPress plugin, v2.5.3
Now everyone who is logged in and visits another site in the network is automatically made a ‘Participant’ of the site they are visiting. I don’t want this to happen.
I have set bbp_allow_global_access( false ) in bbPress includes/admin/settings.php, line 532
I have also set '_bbp_allow_global_access' => 0, in includes/core/options.php, line 37
However, when I visit a new site I am still made a participant of it. How can I disable this option in all my sites (there are thousands) without setting Auto Role to unchecked and saving the forum settings page in each individual site?
Thanks.
I exported the database from the old host and imported into the new host I then tried importing the forum in WordPress using the bbPress plug-in. No forum seems to be created.
Am I missing a step?
no, it’s not a plugin feature. It’s actually a wordpress issue. I just found it today when I tried changing my password to 2 characters long. I’ll report this bug to them. Thanks Stephen.
Are you wanting something like this?
forums/membership-services/view-profile/{username}
If so we already have a support ticket opened:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2496
There is a support topic for that in their support forums, hopefully an update Ad King Pro’ will come along soon that resolves the issue.

@@mariz_p This is not a ‘standard feature’ of WordPress or bbPress, I presume you are using a plugin to enable this. What plugin is it?
Depending upon how the plugin implements this it ‘might’ be something bbPress could add support for in the bbPress login widget and form-user-*.php templates, but most likely this we be difficult to do for compatibility of ‘all the plugins’ that enable this feature.
Most likely you will need to customize the form-user-*.php templates to match the plugin you are using.
Hello,
I am trying to write a plugin that adds some meta-information to a forum when it gets created. I can see that bbPress has a “bbp_new_forum” and a “bbp_edit_forum” hook, yet those never appear to fire, no matter what i do. I even added a php-die directly in front of their respective “do_action” calls inside the bbPress source code just to find out, that the part of the code that should call the new_forum hook appears to never actually be executed. What are those hooks for then, and what hooks DO get called when you create/edit a bbPress forum?
Thank you for your help!
My Version of WordPress is 3.8.1
My Version of bbPress is 2.5.3
Here’s the scenario, and I’ll try to be as specific and detailed as possible.
There are two different WP installations:
- The first (let’s call it myforum.com) just holds a bbpress forum install with thousands of members and posts.
- The second (let’s call it myblog.com) is an existing WP blog with thousands of existing posts&pages.
We want to create a fresh bbpress install on myblog.com/forum and want to import all of myforum.com’s bbpressdata. We’re getting rid of the myforum.com site after migration.
I am not a database guy however, and I have no idea how to export and import the forum posts as well as the users. I fear overwriting the existing posts, pages and users of myblog.com.
Is it as simple as importing tables from wordpress onto myblog.com? Will that overwrite what’s already there?
Appreciate any advice 🙂
Hello,
Thanks for the answer! In fact, this is no a display problem in admin menu, but rights (user capabilities). When I set the URL “edit.php?post_type=forum” directly in the addresses’ bar, WordPress says to me I have not the right to access this page.
After a “very” long debug, I found why this behavior appends. The qTranslate plugin is loaded before bbPress and sets up the WP_User via the function wp_get_current_user() and so sets its allcaps. So when WordPress object is init in wp-settings.php file to sets up current user, wp_get_current_user() returns the existing user and not reloads capabilities.
I fixed this problem in adding a param to wp_get_current_user():
function wp_get_current_user($new_user = false){}
and the same param to get_currentuserinfo() and wp_set_current_user(). I also modified the condition in get_currentuserinfo():
if ( ! empty( $current_user ) && $new_user === false ) {
and the condition in wp_set_current_user():
if ( isset( $current_user ) && ( $current_user instanceof WP_User ) && ( $id == $current_user->ID ) && $new_user === false )
Then I added the true value in param to the call of wp_get_current_user() in init method of WP class.
Maybe this bug appears because I installed qTranslate before bbPress. Maybe this bug not appears if bbPress is installed before qTranslate. I’ll try an another install to test that. It would be nice not to change the core of WordPress.
Hi John-
Sorry for the delay. The add-on I was referring to was this:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-private-replies/
It appears it is not compatible with the current version of bbpress in that the replies that are marked as “private” are in fact viewable by users without Admin permissions if using the Search function.
I suspect Pippin would be the one to contact for this?
In BBPress, is there an equivalent to WP’s next_post_link() and previous_post_link() functions to create navigation to the next topic?
Reference:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/next_post_link
http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/previous_post_link
If not, can anyone think of a custom way to create one, or do something similar?
There are a few plugins that jumpstart WordPress’s roles and capabilities, which can cause permissions issues with bbPress (and any other plugin that relies on roles and capabilities.) These plugins are __doing_it_wrong() in the conventional sense, and there’s not much bbPress can do about that other than throw debug notices when WP_DEBUG is turned on.
Sounds to be like qTranslate is accidentally stomping out bbPress’s top level menu locations. WordPress’s code in regards to navigation has a tendency to be pretty fickle in this regard.
bbPress even takes measures to try and avoid this from happening on its own, but it looks like it’s still not enough anymore.
We’ll see if there’s anything we can do on our end to avoid any of these kinds of menu collisions again. If so, improvements will come in a future version of bbPress.
I found a plug-in called “Buddypress Notifications Manager” https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-notifications-manager/
This godsend of a plug-in set default notifications for new users and retroactively for existing users. A day has passed and no notifications. I hope others that go through what I went through will benefit from this tid-bit of information. I was about to have to wipe my entire site and start from scratch due to upsetting so much of my user base.
