Probably the most noticeable issue after the import are the attachments. They are basically a number with opening and closing ATTACH bbcodes.

I’m not quite sure what to do with attachments as bbPress import system does not yet support attachments ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I could add some code to “hide” the BBCode whilst still keeping it as a refernce?

Also I’ve added support for YouTube, Daily Motion and Vimeo BBCode conversion

Then there are the quotes to other posts. These simply just come in as text and the post IDs don’t match those in bbpress. In xenForo, the quoted posts link back to the post that was quoted.

I’ve added some styling to the quotes now, so it wraps that quotes in “blockquote” and cites the authors name, e.g “wendellh wrote:”

For now we can’t link to the quoted post, this is on my radar to do but requires some pretty big changes, maybe bbPress 2.8.

I’ve also noticed that soft deleted posts (only viewable by mods and admins) in xenForo are coming in as public posts.

Ah, I didn’t know about these types of posts, I’ve now done this, for topics/threads replies/posts that were “soft deleted” these are now imported with bbPress/WordPress “pending” status.

Hello!

My WordPress is very slow since Woocommerce and Memberships are activated at the same time. When I say slow, I mean that it takes around 20sec to load a page from the Dashboard.

When I deactivate Memberships, everything is back to normal. When I activate Memberships but deactivate bbPress, everything is back to normal.

I saw on the wordpress.org that i’m not the only one having performance problems with Memberships and bbPress but nobody found a solution.

I tried to install bbPress 2.6 Alpha but it doesn’t work.

What can I do?

Thanks a lot

Hi, I am new to WP so appreciate your patience.

I need to have BBP subscribers notified of new forum/topic and/or replies but not sure how to make it work. I’d had thought the fact each Forum has “Subscribe” option made me think it would notify by email out of the box.

SMTP is working. In fact, bbPress Notify (No-Spam) works, but it sends out to hardcoded recipients, not subscribers who chose to subscribe specific Forum.

Added issue here is I have 2 private groups. So the notification really has to be subscribers choice per Forum.

WP4.4.2
BBP 2.5.8
So far I have
AsynCRONous bbPress Subscriptions 2.1
bbP Manage Subscriptions 1.2.0
bbP private groups 3.1.9
bbP Toolkit 1.0.6
bbPress Notify (No-Spam) 1.10
Better Notifications for WordPress 1.3.9.5
topic subscribe 1.0

I understand the bbPress Notify has paid plugins to respect the private group and user opt-out, but this is a non-profit organization and everything is coming out of my pocket.

Hope someone could point me to a right direction. Here is the URL
http://jazztokyo.org/forums/
but you won’t see all the forums in the private groups.

Thank you in advance.

P.S., yes it is reproducible with TwentySixteen.

Hello!

Here is what I see in the fresh bbPress (2.5.8) install on WordPress (4.4.2) with Twenty Sixteen theme: http://goo.gl/XGj6zI
All of the avatars are misaligned. Is there a way to fix this?

Thank you!

[Pascal Casier]

Hi, welcome back.
If your subsite is on the same server, towards the same MySQL or MariaDB… then for the performance it will probably not help a lot.
Why not trying to go to the root of the issue and try to reduce the 10s loading to at least 8s so that the extra 2s from bbPress are not adding extra ?

Please note that WordPress requirements/recommendations are on https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/

Some things to check first:
– Have you run all the repair tools of bbpress after import to be sure your structure is optimized ?
– Have you deactivated any not-needed plugin ? Is your theme ready for bbPress ?
– Are you using any cache mechanism to improve speed where possible ?
– Did you try to run performance tools like the P3 plugin performance profiler to narrow down the possible slow parts ?
– What score do you get on gtmetrix.com ? Or what did the pingdom tools indicate ?
– Is it for all people in the world the same ? Check with sucuri performance.
– Some further reading: https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/improving-performance/

If it would come to database queries, also check these plugins:
– https://wordpress.org/plugins/query-monitor/
– https://wordpress.org/plugins/query-monitor-bbpress-buddypress-conditionals/

Then of course there are a list of performance improvements that can be done on caching, offloading, … with plugins like W3 Total cache, batcache, WP Super Cache or other. Also check autoptimize and using cloudflare.

Also note that in the upcoming bbPress v2.6 (hopefully before the end of this year), a lot of focus went on possible performance issues.
Hope it helps,
Pascal.

[Stephen Edgar]

Awesome 🙂

If you look at the phpBB and SMF importers they have near the end of the file a bunch of regular expressions for converting custom BBCode into native HTML for WordPress.

Get me a list of what you want copied from the SMF/phpBB importers to Xenforo and I’ll add them.

If you need more, or tweaks to them happy to help out here also.

[Brandon Olivares]

Oh I just figured it out. It’s this plugin doing it:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/wonderm00ns-simple-facebook-open-graph-tags/

Any idea why that might be? Or recommendations of alternatives?

[gurokevin]

Ok, so I installed bbPress onto my wordpress platform and then of course activated it. But from there, there is no section to configure it or anything. I read that there was a “forum” area. But I can’t find it anywhere. I have looked under every section and can’t find anything. Please help.

[redblacked]

where is image file in forum’s upload image?

i can’t find in wordpress dashboard > media.

[Robin W]

bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

[Robin W]

bbpress and buddypress work fine together.

Hi,

I have wordpress 4.4.4 with bbpress 2.5.8 installed with Buddypress 2.5.2 Everything works fine except on my profile page.

If I go to a user profile and go to the tab forums and subtab topics started, it just shows every single topic that has been made and not just the topic that has been started by that user.
Same goes with ‘replies created’, I get to see every single reply beside the user’s replies.
As with favorites and subscribed, All topics besides the favorites will also all still display.
I basically needs all those tabs to display that user’s created topics and replies exactly like here on bbpress.org.

Is there a some settings I need to set? Could buddypress settings have been causing it? Is there some test I can run to see what is it?

[webmedia365]

I have installed bbpress version 2.5.8 it worked fine but when i install buddypress and activate it my site goes dead. Even i can’t access my WordPress dashboard admin login. Then i have to go to my site cpanel and manually delete one of the plugins. After deleting the one plugin site works fine. But I can not use these two plugins at the same time i have to deactivate one to use other. Please help me what to do. I am using WordPress version 4.4.1. My site is http://www.virtualmentoring.net
Please help me out

Dear sir this tool is made for wordpress posts,
a user who have posts in bbpress forum all shows as 0 post users.

can you help me to make a sql query for to change roles of bulk users.

[ldieno]

BBPress 2.5.8
Wordpress 4.4.2

I am currently having difficult with something that I think might be simple to configure.

I have a very simple site that is not using any third party or complex permissions settings. I have registered users who are “Contributors” and I am attempting to configure a forum that only members can see.

I have created a new forum.
Settings are as follows:
Type: Forum
Status: Open
Visibility: Private

When you click on the permalink to that forum my site throws back a 404.

When I change the visibility to public the forum works.

Hoping there is some minor configuration I am missing to getting this going and creating a forum that only registered members of the site can view and contribute to?

thank you in advance!

The queries in this post should do what you need:

try my private groups plugin

this will allow you to restrict who sees what

Hello,
No one apparently wants to help at wordpress.stackexchange.com, anywhere else you suggest? Is there anyone else on this forum that is a Jquery expert?

Thanks.

[tech55541]

Hello,
You can put it in a child theme style.css file. You can also use this plugin.

Thanks.

Hi,

First of all, the /forums is indeed the default that comes out. Handy, no ? 🙂

For the width, this is fully WordPress and the theme you have chosen, so bbPress just adapts to it.
I would propose that you ask on the global WordPress support forum for that.

Pascal.

[aaachiaki]

Thank you guys for not giving up on me!

I hope I’m giving you the right information… Went into phpMyAdmin. Clicked on the database running the WordPress install, clicked on Operations.

Under Collation it says: latin1_swedish_ci

[Stephen Edgar]

A quick search reveals this https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/35958

@aaachiaki Can you look up what your WordPress database character set and collation are being used?

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
Only saw your last posts now, a SQL to delete the trash would have been better probably…
But I’m out of ideas for your environment 🙁

You don’t have any errors in your logs, right ? Your memory is high enough for both WordPress and your environment ? You are running on a public host ?

Pascal.
