I wonder if using WXR Splitter (http://www.rangerpretzel.com/content/view/20/1/) and breaking up the file into 10 managable parts and importing them one at a time might do the trick. What are your thoughts?
My current problem is trying to associate/map 400 users from one wp install to another. They always end up being associated with the administrator account by default. Can you imagine going through 400 pull down menus for each occurrence? That would make for a fun afternoon.
Hello.
Standalone bbPress 1.0.2
I have to do few changes with my working forum.
1) First I use mini-stats plugin what shows http://www.pruulimine.ee/foorum/?stats=statistics that information. But I have to know top posters also, how can I do that to see?
2) Users can upload avatars but how is possible to set some default ready avatars what user can pick so he/she doesn’t have to upload.
3) My registration works at the moment when user register, then he will recieve password after approving in admin panel. But is this possible to register immediatly with user own password and with captcha to avoid robots. Then there is no need to admin approve those users.
Maybe someone know solutions.
For full support I can pay for help!
The fancy editor is disabled by default. You have two choices:
Enable Visual Editor
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-enable-tinymce-visual-tab/
It’s for good reason that it’s disabled though. It considerably slows down mobile devices and is just all around far more unpredictable than the plain editor in terms of how users might mess up with it.

searching all my files this only seems to occur in the bbpress plugin.
find . -name “*.php” -print | xargs grep bbp_setup_current_user

Hi Solheubner,
Awesome! It totally worked haha! Sorry it took me so long to see your reply. For some reason I havent put on e-mail subscriptions.
Of course what you have now is that it does not check if you had a subscription on that topic and put a check in the box if you did. But this is a lot better then having it always on for everyone!
Is there are plugin or a way to have a default size when posting videos? IE…YouTube
If you willing to use https://wordpress.org/themes/firmasite theme for bbpress, i can make customization for it.
Default forum example: http://demo.theme.firmasite.com/forums/ (You can change style from top-left icon)
There is a customized version of bbpress style: http://social.theme.firmasite.com/forums/
Before i start to build your theme, you have to provide some things:
▶ Your custom website design ideas. All details. You cant change this one after i start to build your theme.
▶ All design assets if you need any. (logo,images etc)
▶ Your preferred custom/premium bootstrap skins. Yes, you can select multiple and change whenever you want! (Please dont request more then 5) You can create yourself or buy from: http://codecanyon.net/category/skins/bootstrap
▶ Your preferred custom/premium icon font pack. (I can include my premium icon pack for your theme. Example icons: http://shop.theme.firmasite.com/premium-icons/ )
I can finish this in 10~days with 3 revision for 700$ and 1 year bug fix support. You can pay from paypal. If you want to keep your theme up-to-date after 1 year, you can pay 200$ per year.
You can contact me from http://unsalkorkmaz.com/iletisim/
No, by default bbPress does not have a ‘post preview’ feature at this stage.
There are various plugins for using different editors and some are compatible with bbPress and some have a post preview.
Take a look around https://wordpress.org/plugins/ and see if anything is suitable.
Hi Everyone!
For my main forum homepage or the archive i want to display different forums into sections rather than having a list of forums that is the bbpress default.
So this is the code used to display all the forums,
<?php while ( bbp_forums() ) : bbp_the_forum(); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'single-forum' ); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
So how would i add some arguments to this to display certain forums from there ID’s?
Also on the main page i want to show 5 recent topics, i believe the loop code is this,
<?php while ( bbp_topics() ) : bbp_the_topic(); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'single-topic' ); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
If anyone has managed to use a custom loop using the above code to display 5 recent topics or a custom WP_Query, i’ll be very grateful if you could show some example code.
Kind Regards
~ Matt
Hi,
Your best bet would be to create a custom page template for your WordPress theme where you basically display the header and footer without the sidebar.
Create three custom templates, sidebar, left sidebar and right sidebar, for your default page.php file in your wordpress theme make it so it doesn’t have any sidebars. Then by default bbpress will use this page to display the forum.
What @xevo says is correct. If you put it in the correct place (meaning it’s loading correctly) that CSS will hide the default small avatars and prevent them from being displayed.
Try adding
function subscribed_by_default() {
echo '<script type="text/javascript">jQuery("#bbp_topic_subscription").prop("checked",false);</script>';
}
add_action('bbp_theme_after_topic_form_subscriptions', 'subscribed_by_default');
add_action('bbp_theme_after_reply_form_subscription', 'subscribed_by_default');
to your functions.php
Hey guys!
I’ve got the option to subscribe to topics on, but I dislike the fact that its already checked for every topic. So if a user is not paying attention, hes going to get a lot of e-mails.
I’d much rather have it off by default and let the user click the subscribe box if he wishes to subscribe to a topic.
Can I turn it off in a php file somewhere? I’ve looked around but could not find it. I was wondering if someone else ran in to the same “problem”.
UPDATE:
I have carried out the following troubleshooting activities:
- Deleted my bbpress child theme (problem did not go away)
- Changed my theme to the default twenty thirteen then twenty twelve but still noticed the same error when i attempt to use the theme customizer.
yeah… I’ve ended up doing it locally too. I tried the Vanilla conversion from the migration I did previously and ended up getting tons of SQL errors. So I ended up just pulling out the tables from my vBulletin db that the bbPress converter actually uses and am using those to run the conversion locally.
So far so good on the local conversion. I’m up to about 225,000 on the replies with no stalls yet just using the default set of 100 and 1 sec delay.

Thanks, My theme can now read my bbpress.css file based on the directory structure you advised.
One observation and question though:
I noticed that when i created a blank bbpress.css file in my child theme, it wiped off the default styles created by the parent!! So, do I copy the complete parent bbpress.css file or do I make a child bbpress.css file.
If i am to make a child bbpress.css file, then how do i reference the parent css file, as it is done in wordpress child theme design?
Regards

I wanted to create a custom bbPress theme, i followed the instructions here:’ Step-by-Step Guide to Creating a Custom bbPress Theme’. Having copied the following assets from the bbpress>template>default folder to my child theme:
1-bbpress folder
2-extras folder
3-js folder
4-bbpress-functions.php
I am still unable to override the styles in the default bbpress.css file.
I would appreciate clues on how to approach this.
Regards.
By default, the subforums look like this:
subforum1, subforum2, subforum3, subforum4, etc.
I want for it to look like this:
subforum1
subforum2
subforum3
subforum4
etc.
How can I accomplish this?
Hmmm… I haven’t looked at vBulletin in a while and I just opened up my database and I do not have a table prefix at all (thus I’d leave the field blank in my case)
Looking at this screen shot of my vBulletin database in phpMyAdmin you can see I am in the database structure view (the default when you open the database) and you can see the ‘forum’, ‘forumpermission’ tables, if yours are the same as mine then you don’t need a table prefix for the import. If yours includes for example ‘vb_’ so yours are ‘vb_forum’, ‘vb_forompermissions’ etc then your table prefix for the importer would be ‘vb_’

oh okay sorry, I thought it would at least have some sort of hierarchy in default (I’ve seen instructional videos where it had that “tree” format but I guess now it was just the particular theme) That’s good to hear that they’re working on it, but I would need to get some sort of structure now. Can you point me in the direction, if any, to try and customize the theme to have some sort of structure for the forums? As of now, google isn’t exactly working for me, I’ve searched for things pertaining to this, and I only posted in these forums after i could not find what I was looking for.
Hello, I’m building a website with forums at . However, I’m having trouble understanding why it looks the way it does? I thought it would look like you know, an actual forum with the various forums and sub-forums in a “tree-like” format etc. I’m confused as to how to make it look an operate that way instead of the way it is currently with this weird “archive” format. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Btw, I just created the page with the default “forums” slug and I’ve tried the shortcode too with same results – I just have no idea why it looks the way it does.
permalinks are set to default, is this the wrong setting?
when navigatiing to /forums i get this error:
Not Found
The requested URL /forums was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.22 (Debian) Server at watracing.com Port 80
To find your ‘Table Prefix’ open up phpMyAdmin on your webhost and it should look similar to this:

So in my case the table prefix will be ‘sp_’ (This is most likely the default for SimplePress)
Navigate to http://example.com/forums to see your forums, you can add a link to your WordPress menu linking to that URL etc
Also don’t forget to run the repair tools after the import or things just won’t look right.
“Buddypress” as you said, is a different project. So you should ask help about it on the right forums. https://buddypress.org/support/
Also, isn’t mingle the same as buddypress?
