If you’d like to completely hide your forum for non-logged in users there is a plugin for that 🙂

Hmmmm…. Progress…. That’s good news
I will try to get some time and have a look through the patches for 2.1 and see if anything stands out.
The other problem is that as yet I have not been able to duplicate your bug on my IIS install, I will see if I can spin up a Windows 7/IIS 7.5/PHP 5.3/MySQL 5.1 VM this week and take a further look.
Create a WordPress page called ‘Support’ and use the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode on that page.

I didn’t recogonize it of the top of my head but a quick search landed me here:
https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/15499 & https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/22742
So it looks like it is generated from RSS Feed requests and that would make sense.
Does your site use the same URL’s now RSS Feeds as it did before and what are your RSS subscribers numbers like?
Fair enough, I don’t know of any plugins that support this, you could ask @jaredatch if that’s something he could add to his plugin or head over to trac and create a new detailed ticket of the enhancement you would like to see in future versions of bbPress.
I´m having the exact same problem as Limbobski is questioning. And nobody here is bothering to answer him either.
This question needs a proper solution. There are many of us who have been with BBPress for YEARS now, and we have WordPress and forums on different databases. We need a step-by-step guide on how to keep the content and merge the two together. To successfully update to the newest version of BBpress.
Topics are custom post types. When you save a post in wordpress and then rename it, the permalink doesn’t change, it stays the same.
This is the same for bbPress.
You might be better off asking this on the wordpress forums: https://wordpress.org/support/

There are a couple of routes you could go down depending on how you plan on running WordPress:
- WIMP (Windows, IIS, MySQL/MS SQL & PHP)
- LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL & PHP)
Once you have either of the above up and running and my suggestion is most definitely the second option to convert your database to MySQL then it would involve writing a custom import script based on the included example `Example.php` included with bbPress.
(I have been updating all the import scripts lately so hopefully a new version of `Example.php` will not be far away, if not `bbPress1.php` and `phpBB.php` would be better to use as a basis for a custom DNN import script.)
Well it depends on what your theme uses as it’s sidebar container.
.bbPress is a class which is applied to the body tag so you can tell if it is on a bbPress page.
.sidebar is a guess at what the sidebar container is on your theme.
stack them together and then use display:none to hide the sidebar on all bbPRess pages.
You can add this into your bbPress stylesheet or your wordpress stylesheet (it is usually nicer to add it into your bbPress stylesheet so that all bbPress styles are contained in one place).
Good luck!
Here is one thing I found:
1. In Settings>Forums, it says:
Archive Slugs
Custom root slugs to prefix your forums and topics with. These can be partnered with WordPress pages to allow more flexibility.
Forums base
 Possible BuddyPress conflict: Member Forums page
Topics base
I disabled Forums in the BuddyPress area, following a tutorial I found here from you guys. Â So, there should be no conflict, right?
Wordpress 3.5
bbpress 2.2.3
Hi,
I just installed bbpress into wordpress but bbpress wont link with a Forums page i created at my wordpress website, parellex.net. The bbpress top-level forums page that wont link with the wordpress forums page is here. Does it have something to do with the slugs? Or was it a during setup problem?
Thanks in advanced!
I just inherited the admin position for our club’s wordpress site, and am a total noob at this. I upgraded the to WP3.5 and BBPress 2.2.3 and the formatting went all screwy. I deselected the Twenty Twelve theme, and that fixed the menu/text formatting, but now when you go to the ‘Forums’ page it just has a link to ‘edit’ but doesn’t display the forums/threads/replies.
The forums are still there, I can see them from the dashboard, but I can’t get them to show up on the site.
Someone PLEASE help me.

Hello,
My WP website uses the Bangkok Press Theme. I’ve installed bbpress, but there is no sidebar appearing in the forum.
How can I add it?
I’ve already asked the creator of the theme, but he’s not familiar with bbpress, so I’m asking help around here 🙂
Here is my website : mm2013.rp050.ihecs-multimedia.be/wordpress/forums
Thank you
This support forum is specific to bbPress plugin for WordPress.
I suggest you have a search of the WordPress Supports forums here and put a post up there if you do not find an answer. https://wordpress.org/support/
Stop using bbConverter, it does not work and is no longer supported by the developer.
Use the import tool that comes with bbPress 2.x, you can find this in your WordPress Admin Dashboard under ‘Tools’ -> ‘Forums’ -> ‘Import Forums’
I tried but it’s stuck on “starting Conversion…” With the circle which turns all the time.
EDIT : After few minutes got the same problem
WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ” at line 1]
SELECT * FROM wp_posts WHERE id =
I don’t know what i can do.
Custom Fields (Meta Data, Meta Boxes) – do they exist for BBPress 1.0?
I mean something like `get_post_meta();` in WordPress – do threads or single posts support them?
Because bbPress is using custom post types you could use: https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query.
See the part about taxonomy parameters, you can set the post_type to whatever you want.
