I am trying to convert phpbb3 database and it goes quite smoothly BUT suddenly stops at some point when converting posts

Screen: http://forumpokerowe.com/obrazki/bbconverter_error_screen.gif

I’ve tried various ‘Rows Limit’ (50, 100, 200)

What am I doing wrong?

I use:

WordPress 3.2.1

PhpBB 3.08

BBPress plugin 2.0.2

BBConverter 1.3

[Vili]

To answer myself and help anyone else looking for a solution, it seems that the bbConverter plugin is able to do the job: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbconverter/

I still have some issues with the conversion, like the first post of every topic showing html code, but at least I’ve made progress.

[Vili]

Have you found a solution to this? There seem to be a number of people with the same issue, and no solution that I can find.

I have the issue, running a bbPress 1.x installation integrated with WordPress. I’d like to switch to the 2.x version, but the importer gives a fatal error.

I missed the recount – hiding it under the general WordPress Tools menu caught me out;-).

I’ve run it and it seems to be OK now when it comes to dates.

Badly needed: A simple SEO plugin that allows me to change the Title of the home page meta tag.

Other items badly needed: SEO for keywords, description.

WordPress has a great plugin called, “All in One SEO PACK” — something like that but for bbpress.

Anyone???

My biggest challenge right now to using bbpress is difficulty finding quality plugins.

Please help!

Thank you!!!

I saw a thread about registration for bbPress forum plugin on WP:

These are two ways that were mentioned, but I am not sure how to do either:

1. create an .htaccess and put the following in:

Redirect 301 /yourbbpressdirectory/register.php http://yourdomain.com/yourwordpressdirectory/wp-login.php?action=register

2. <?php

header(‘Location:http://your-wordpress-url.com/wp-login.php?action=register&#8217;);

?>

Can anyone give me a step by step on how to do this? Thanks.

Wouter, I use it in WordPress as a plugin. I can not help you with a standalone version since I have no experience on that field.

Sorry for the confusion and good luck with the translations!

I don’t think you fully understand what roles and capabilities are. Furthermore, did you try the plugin I suggested? It’s quite different from the “WordPress Access Control” plugin which doesn’t provide you with the ability to modify the capabilities different roles have. The documentation is indeed outdated since the way people register has changed in bbpress 2.x.. The same functionality that the user role map appears to have had (I never used bbpress before 2.x), can now be found under General > Settings > New user default role.

[zofar143x]

It can never be full width as long as you don’t remove that sidebar. You can use Widgetlogic in order to only make your widgets disappear on your forum.

I am using a great plugin called “WordPress Access Control” right now and I really like it.

I don’t understand how to assign any particular role to being able to use the forum.

The instructions from this page seem to be outdated:

https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/

“In the “WordPress Integration” section of the “Settings” area in your bbPress admin you will find a “User Role Map” where you can set which roles will be applied to users who register on your forums. Users who register on your WordPress blog will have the appropriate role applied to their account when they first login to bbPress.”

I didn’t notice any “User Role Map”, but I could be easily mistaken.

How are these things handled in the current version of bbpress?

This seems like a pretty fundamental thing(?)

[@ommunist]

Has the same issue. I created “my-languages” folder, but bbPress does not pick up mo and po from it. I also look to find the way to make it compatible with qTranslate.

[SteveIsaac]

I am new to WordPress and bbPress. I have a WordPress 3.3 site with bbPress installed in its own directory. I went through all the steps for WordPress Integration and all the WordPress users show up as bbPress users so that is good.

The problem is I thought that a logged in WordPress user would be logged in to the bbPress section when they go to the forums. But they are not. They have to log in again.

Is this how it works or is there another step that I need to get full integration?

[lekkerduidelijk]

Wouter:

This one does show the most recent and complete one: https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/plugin/nl/default

When you filter on ‘Untranslated’ (https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/plugin/nl/default?filters%5Bstatus%5D=untranslated&sort%5Bby%5D=priority&sort%5Bhow%5D=desc) it shows no untranslated strings.

Please use the description on how to obtain the files from ‘dtwp’ in the initial post (https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/dutch-translation-missing-in-repository#post-90960)

Is it safe to upgrade to WP 3.3 with BBPress 2.02 or should I wait for BBpress to be updated?

Hi !

Sorry for being late.

The problem is the same using stock theme from wordpress.

I also tried to uninstall then reinstall BBPress : same problem.

Which info would help you for troubleshoot ?

Thanks a lot !

I’ve been using the bbPress Custom Views plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbp-views/). I’ve been creating custom views, but I’m wondering how to create a custom view which is an AND or OR statement, so meets 2 different conditions. Here’s an example (though written incorrectly of course).

bbp_register_view( 'rides-needed', __( 'Rides Needed' ), array( 'meta_key' => 'needed_offered', 'meta_value' => 'Need a Ride' AND/OR 'meta_key' => 'ride-destination', 'meta_value' => 'Timberline'), false );

So, that is to say: display the topics WHERE:

meta_key “needed_offered” = ‘Need a Ride’

AND

meta_key “ride-destination” = ‘Timberline’.

From Gautam’s post (http://bbpep.com/2011/04/creating-custom-views-in-bbpress/) I know I can use these parameters (http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/WP_Query#Parameters), but I’m not sure how to translate WPQuery into the register views function. Thanks in advance!

Where do I set the user login functions?

In the instructions it says:

..In the “WordPress Integration” section of the “Settings” area in your bbPress admin you will find a “User Role Map” where you can set which roles will be applied to users who register on your forums. Users who register on your WordPress blog will have the appropriate role applied to their account when they first login to bbPress.<<

where is the bbpress admin area? I can;t find it or any ““User Role Map.” Is it sin the same area as my blog’s dashboard? I see “forum” under settings but nothing b=about users. And up in the Forum area of sdashboard, just setting to create forums, topics, replies, ect.

I’m missing something really basic here, I’m sure.

[ozyoz]

I go to Development

and click on the link Version 2.1 and i get this:

https://bbpress.svn.wordpress.org/branches/plugin/

where do i download the one you are saying!

why is this have to be nightmare?

why cant you guys keep it simple! I do not understand! you made the technology available but its useless!

[@ChrisClayton]

I did this with one of my sites simply by using a basic conditional to check if a user is logged in. If they are not logged in, they get redirected to my login page.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_user_logged_in

So, yes. It is possible

Hello bbPress community!!!

Its very nice and ease forum plugin and had used it a lot. But now I have a little problem with it: after installing “Another WordPress Classifieds Plugin 1.8.9.4” on main page of bbPress (/?post_type=forum) my forums are just disappeared and message “Oh bother! No forums were found here!” is shown. Also interesting that all forums and topics are working properly. How can I put my forums back on main page?

[aravoth2011]

Yeah, bbpress 2.0 is unbelievable, love this thing. So easily customized, looks awesome, feels awesome, and it’s ability to integrate with wordpress the way it does is bad ass.

[Froyo]

I’m not sure if this has to do with something in bbpress or wordpress itself, and it’s too early to go hunting. I know it must have something to do with a cascade somewhere.. only logical explanation. Except there’s only about.. 100 and more of them, quite possibly?

I’m working on a website for my guild, and here’s the look of what I’m talking about right here: http://bloodoath2.net/forums

Can anyone shed some light on this?

[Jermaine Maree]

Are there plans to support standalone bbPress installs that have WordPress integration with the bbPress Integration plugin. I can convert everything but my users due to them residing in the WordPress database. Any insight on how I can accomplish this? Thanks!

[Jermaine Maree]

Attempting to convert from 1.0.3 standalone to 2.0.2 plugin but having an issue due to current integration. My current bbPress install is integrated with WordPress. The built-in bbPress conversion tool and the plugin that was created will not handle a standalone install with WP integration since the users table resides in the WordPress database.

Is there a way I can remove the integration and migrate my users to bbPress or other alternatives that you can suggest? Thanks!
