I have a follow up question on the above topic. In the old BB we had each topic showed with a short summary field of the post content (usually just the first X characters of the content). Is there a way to do that with bbPress Forum topics? I do not see any existing widget that does this. In fact, is there even a field mapping for such a thing?
In WordPress terms this is known as ‘the_excerpt’ and is a function that will only show ‘x’ words of a post, this is not something you can transfer, it is a ‘display’ function in WordPress.
Oops, forgot another item. I want to bring in topic tags as well. How do I do that.
These are a little tricky mainly because understanding how they are implemented in WordPress is not an easy task as they are distributed throughout three tables.
Upload a csv file to http://gist.github.com or http://pastebin.com with a couple of examples of how your data currently has ‘tags’ associated to the topics and I will try to come up with something that is a little clearer than mud for you 😉
You took them from https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/2.4.x ?
It says Dutch is 0% complete therefore there are no translations in those files, just the framework for future translations.
Hey there,
This is about a WordPress installation with bbPress installed as a plugin.
The WordPress language is Dutch, also accordiong to the wp-config.php file.
On this website we downloaded the languagepack for dutch language, I exported it as .mo and named it bbpress-nl_NL.mo and it is uploaded to /wp-content/languages/bbpress/
I downloaded the right version ( 2.4 ), the wp-config is configurated dutch and I do not understand why the language of bbpress in font and backend is still english.
The backend doesn’t really matter, but since it is a dutch website it would be weird to have an english forum.
Does anyone know what we did wrong?
This functionality is now available in WordPress core. If you edit the post using the WordPress Admin area you can edited the Published date.

Yep – I’ve just installed an old version of BBPress and it’s working – I’ve got a default forum again.
It’s also fixed the bug where page meta titles don’t work on WordPress blog posts.
Hey my friend, I found this other plug in by bbpress for that goal
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-protected-forums/
But I have to say that is giving me problems with the provision of some elements of my site. My main menu now appears on the bottom of the page 😮
Cheers.
I added the recent topic widget to my site, and ticked the boxes “show date”, “show author”, but those two settings aren’t showing, even though they are selected. It only shows the topic title.
I activated the twenty twelve theme to make sure it’s not a css problem, but I had the exact same problem still.
I am using WordPress, Buddypress, and BBpress combination.
I hope someone can help me!
Bulk Edit is where on the WP-Admin > Forums page you select multiple Forums and use a Bulk Action to edit them. There’s a tutorial (for posts, but it’s the same thing) here: http://wordpress.tv/2009/01/14/using-quick-edit-and-bulk-edit-to-manage-your-posts-in-half-the-time/
But yes, it is on the roadmap for the 2.4.1 release if you’re not in a hurry.
Yes, you are correct, unfortunately there’s no easy way to do get hidden at the moment. However, I’ve just tried manually reverting the changes from 2.4 that are causing the problem and it looks like that works.
All I’ve done is revert the 3 changes here: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/5060/trunk/includes/forums/functions.php
I’ve done it fast and dirty by editing core and replacing the new lines with the old ones which you really shouldn’t do if you can avoid it as it will be overwritten next update….but hopefully next udpate will fix the problem anyway. I can’t see it causing problems anywhere else and that code was only changed for best practice I think so should be OK.
Okay it was wordpress default editor.
if you see source here, bbpress forums loads the same jQuery UI

As I’ve spent the day playing with passwords, did any users have any issues with users logging into WordPress after the import? Did their existing vBulletin passwords work?

I have spent the day playing with passwords and the bbPress importers :/
If you could also let me know if you have any issues with users logging into WordPress after the import if their passwords don’t work that would be greatly appreciated.
ok, thank you very much, I will contact ipage and get back to you, please can you help me, I want to create a members system in my website using wordpress, my current theme is pitch, but am not talking about membership website were u will pay, I just want a website that members can join for free and create account just like the sign up page for facebook…please any idea?
Email problems are almost always to do with your hosting so you either need to contact their support or try one of the plugins for sending mail such as https://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-wp-smtp/ (I have not used this plugin but it has decent reviews, there are other options available if you prefer).
You and the other guy having this problem are both hosted by the same company: iPage. This makes it seem very, very likely that it’s to do with your hosting.
Just tried it and that doesn’t work, it updates the slug but bbPress doesn’t seem to pull its title from anywhere editable within the admin area.
However, if just changing the word Forums to Classrooms would solve your problem then it can be done via a function. This should work but please note I’m not a developer and I haven’t bug tested this or anything.

I added this to my WordPress theme’s functions.php (before the end ?>) and it worked. Hope it will for you too!
There is not an easy way to do this, as far as I know.
You could create a private WordPress page/post that is password protected and use a bbpress shortcode to display the forum on that page but anyone who has the direct link to that forum could skip the password.

Does WordPress send you other emails? Like admin notifications of comments?
This sort of thing is usually related to your hosting and their rules for sending email from php applications, it might be a good idea to try them or to try a plugin for mail (like https://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-wp-smtp/).
