Everything is stored in the wp_posts table including WordPress posts, pages, bbPress forums, topics and replies so a rough guess here is that the 12,000 topics have been imported but not the replies.

If your comfortable using phpMyAdmin can you run this query for me on your vBulletin 3 database:

SELECT
post.postid AS postid,
thread.forumid AS forumid,
post.threadid AS threadid,
post.ipaddress AS ipaddress,
post.userid AS userid,
post.pagetext AS pagetext,
post.dateline AS dateline 
FROM post AS post 
INNER JOIN thread AS thread USING (threadid) 
WHERE post.parentid != 0

That should return the first 30 rows of your 346,000 replies, does it? Or do you get an error?

[Stephen Edgar]

If the users imported already exist then the user will be imported again with the imported_ prefix. If your uses are already in the WordPress wp_users table then you shouldn’t need to import them which would be the case for SimplePress.

[Stephen Edgar]

Don’t use WP_DEBUG i.e. define('WP_DEBUG', false); in your wp-cong.php file is the simple answer.

It will be one of your plugins ‘doing it wrong’

For more technical details on the error see any/all of this tickets 😉 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/24169

Oh, my bad, the plugin description is “This is a simple plugin that adds a recaptcha validation to the bbPress 2.0 topic creation and topic reply forum.” so it is not actually a recaptcha for the login page 😉

bbpress.org is hooked into wordpress.org so spam bots are handled by the WordPress team 😉

Have another look through the WordPress plugins for one that does what you require, there are a quite a few of them.

I just installed the current version 1.5.3 and have no issues

Good evening MrRobinW and MrStephenEdgar!
Japan is currently rainy season.
I like rainy days as well as sunny days.

Well, I need your help again…(Of course my website is going well these days!)

This time, I wanna remove a <option> tag
with adding php function into “function.php” of WordPress.

At a create-topic page, users can select one specific forum.
And the souse code is like…

<label for="bbp_forum_id">in forum</label><br />
<select name="bbp_forum_id" id="bbp_forum_id" tabindex="103">
<option value="" class="level-0">select：</option>
<option class="level-0" value="1">Apple</option>
<option class="level-0" value="2">Banana</option>
<option class="level-0" value="3">Grapes</option>
<option class="level-0" value="4">Elephant</option>
</select>

In my website, these 4 forums has been set to the public,
and I don’t wanna change the setting.

However, I do not show the last one (Elephant!) to every users at the time.
In this case, what code should I put into the “function.php” of WordPress.

For me, The case is too difficult to solve.orz
Would you please advice me…

many thanks

bbPress: ver2.5.3

Hello everyone!

First let me say, that I am not sure if the problem is coming from bbpress. Please let me know it is a general problem.

The reason I am posting the problem here is, that it appeared right after todays bbpress-update, and there’s also a reference in the message.

This is the error message I am reciving (debugging enabled):

Warning: mysql_connect(): Headers and client library minor version mismatch. Headers:50535 Library:50617 in /home/www/xxx/www/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1372

Strict Standards: Declaration of BP_Poke_Component::includes() should be compatible with BP_Component::includes($includes = Array) in /home/www/xxx/www/wp-content/plugins/bp-poke/bp-poke-component.php on line 57

The strange thing is, that I am running an exact mirror of the page and db on a subdomain, where I am testing plugins, etc. There I am not getting the error.

I did had a search on google, but couldn’t find anything helpful. As I am not a coder or server-tech myself, I am a bit lost here. I did try a few things, like disableing plugins, or enabling another theme. But nothing helped so far.

Here’s a list of plugins I am using right now:

• (BuddyDev)BP Poke
• Advanced Custom Fields
• bbPress
• bbPress New Topics
• BuddyPress
• CodeStyling Localization
• iThemes Security
• Members
• Regenerate Thumbnails
• Require Featured Image
• rtMedia for WordPress, BuddyPress and bbPress
• Tehnik BBPress Permissions
• WP Smush.it

I thought it might be a problem with iThemes Security, so I tryed to disable a few things, and also disabled the whole plugin. But the problem is still the same.

Thanks for your help in advance!

Best regards,

Lumartist

Hi,

My bbpress is working fine. I just want the recent topics to be displayed on my forum-root-page.

The site can be found here http://schole.at/intern/ (you cannot see the forum index, as the site forum is private, but the site shows the problem anyway).

I use a page with shortcodes. Using the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] just displays the forum index. But when i try to use the shortcode [bbp-topic-index] the result is as u can see in the link above: it just shows the shortcode itselve.

I would just like to have the recent topics to be diplayed as they are here in the forum root on bbpress.org/forums

Thanx for your help.

Wordpress 3.9.1
bbpress 2.5.4.
Theme: Dynamik Website Builder on Genesis Framework

[sigwinstonwolf]

Hi stephen, the version is 3.6.4

You’re right. I have checked the wordpress database, i have this tables:

wp_bbp_converter_translator
wp_commentmeta
wp_comments
wp_links
wp_options
wp_postmeta
wp_posts
wp_terms
wp_term_relationship
wp_term_taxonomy
wp_usermeta
wp_users

The “wp_posts” table contains 12.878 record, exactly as my original vbulletin forum.

But, but no other table contains 346.000 records.
Only the table “wp_postmeta” contains 127.513 record that look like this:

column meta_id: 638945
column post_id: 25653
column meta_keys: _bbp_last_active_time
column meta value: 2013-05-06 21:53:24

Nothing in the database.
thanks

Hi Stephen,

I just updated to bbPress 2.5.4 and noticed the css load issue again. I’ve created a patch and my first trac ticket here!

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2613

[Stephen Edgar]

I’d suggest using a plugin rather than reCaptcha directly

There are a few various anti-spam, anti-bot, captcha type plugins available that work with bbPress in WordPress plugin repo https://wordpress.org/plugins/

e.g. https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-recaptcha/

[Stephen Edgar]

bbPress 2.5.4 is out. It fixes 5 bugs, the last of which is a security concern for all previous bbPress 2.x installations.

The following bugs have been fixed in 2.5.4:

#2586 – Fix ‘Replies in each forum’ repair tool, to prevent breaking the reply position.
#2496 – Support slashes in slug settings, and improve sanitization of these fields.
#2518 – Improve handling of SSL assets when relying on theme compatibility.
#2588 – Fix bug when editing a reply that would pollute hierarchical replies in that topic.
#2610 – Properly handle escaping of displayed user fields and data when editing a user.

Check the milestone for a list of fixes: http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/milestone/2.5.4

[Stephen Edgar]

Can you please create a ticket in bbPress’ Trac and we can take a closer look at this.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/

If you have a link to the discussion you had with Royal Slider please also include that, thanks.

[jomynn]

I had looking for quick-start of wordpress + bbpress .

Anyone please share link for me.

Thankyou

[Stephen Edgar]

I just downloaded the Spacious theme… Oh wait… Not related. If you use WordPress 4.0.x (Any alpha or beta of the next version of WordPress) bbPress will not work, we are currently investigating this.

[boblebad]

The culprit is found 🙂

It’s PMPro search settings under Memberships/Advanced Settings that has a bug, here’s the thread where it’s explained:

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bbpress-topics-is-hidden?replies=12#post-5636096

“the bug here is probably one that we’ve discovered in our “search filter”. The quick fix is to set the search filter to “No” on the advanced settings page (which is probably what happened when you reinstalled).

You can also change the “show excerpts” setting to “Yes” and it will show your topics again.”

[jacuzzy]

Just got a solution to issue 3 (the topics/first post not showing).

Turns out s2member was the culprit. A setting in s2member > restriction options > alternative view protection, unchecking only the first check box, “Filter ALL WordPress queries; protecting all Alternate Views” seemed to do it. Now I’ll have to figure out what this implies for me in terms of protected content, but that’s an issue for s2member forums. This piece is resolved. I’ll go and make posts in the other threads where I saw this issue “unresolved” as well so more people can see it.

I’ll keep looking into the edit issues and reply if I find anything. Thanks for your help Stephen. 🙂

[Stephen Edgar]

Thanks for the detailed info @jbroskos, I agree things look correct there, but obviously are not working as expected.

If you do find the issue later on down the road let us know with some detailed reproduction steps and we can fix the issue once we can reproduce it https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ 🙂

[Stephen Edgar]

Oh! Ok, strange decision not to update where said updates may actually fix your issues so I’m not sure what we can do here to help out and I’d suggest you mention that if you are being asked to ‘fix things’ that could have already been fixed in newer versions, not specifically saying the issues have been fixed but there are vast improvements nevertheless.

I am not aware of any specific Thesis compatability issues, might be something to research through the Thesis community support forums, again you might find the latest Thesis compatability pack supports bbPress 2.5.x and have to roll back a version that works with bbPress 2.4.x.

I haven’t used s2member so I really cannot advise how best to do anything with it 😉

You could take a look at this plugin that when viewing a users profile in the backend will show you each of the bbPress capabilities assigned to a user that may help you narrow down the issues.

[jacuzzy]

Unfortunately, whether we should upgrade or not is not my call to make. At the advice of another developer, my project manager has decided that we will not be updating WordPress. At the advice of yet another developer, I have been warned not to update bbPress either. Sorry. I’m just a measly intern developer with no say. 🙁

I was speaking with one of the aforementioned developers today, and he suggested that it the ‘edit’ issue (as far as the HTML in the editor goes) might have to do with Thesis. I’m going to look further into bbPress-thesis compatibility issues, but would you happen to know anything offhand about that? I do have the bbPress-Thesis compatibility pack plugin installed.

As for s2member, I have tried various combinations of role settings, but the issue still remains that a member has to either have highest level (admin) role in s2member or moderator or higher role in bbPress in order to view topics. All replies are visible to all roles, s2member and bbPress. I realize I might be starting to get out of scope of this forum, but there is a full post here that describes the roles as they interact between s2member and bbpress. Is the only way for me to work with bbPress and s2member to customize the roles? I’d hope for a simpler workaround if possible…

[gmackay1903]

I can’t get the correct widgets to show on my main forum page.

All the other forum pages are listing the widgets correctly, except the main forum page. Any suggestions?

Currently on WordPress 3.9.1, the latest bbPress version. Link to site – afc1903.co.uk (note the site actually launches tomorrow evening (5th June 2014 at 7.30pm GMT)

[wplove3268]

I recently installed the eMember plugin (from Tips and Tricks HQ) and have been running bbPress and the Royal Slider slideshow plugin on my site. When all three plugins are running, however, my home page slideshow stops working. I contacted Royal Slider about the issue and they got back to me saying there is a JS error that is blocking the execution of the slideshow-and the source of it was bbPress.

My site: dev.detoxtheworld.com
Wordpress version 3.8.1
Running bbPress version 2.5.3
I’ve tested the problem using a default theme and it still occurs.

Here is the script from which the conflict originates: http://dev.detoxtheworld.com/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/js/editor.js

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.5.3/templates/default/js/editor.js

Can anyone tell me what the problem might be and, even better, how to fix it?

Mod Edit: I removed the code and added a link to the source for improved readability.

[royk1234]

p.s. I’m using
————–
WordPress 3.9.1
Responsive Theme 1.9.5.1
bbPress 2.5.3

[Stephen Edgar]

Firstly why not update to WordPress v3.9.1 and bbPress v2.5.3?

The ‘edit’ issue is most likely a plugin conflict, start deactivating plugins one by one until the issue goes away then enable the other plugins you disabled and research any known issues with the plugin causing the problem.

As to the s2member issue, you are going to have to meticulously go through each of the role settings and confirm what permissions are be given to each s2member and bbPress roles to work out whats what.

[Stephen Edgar]

Hmmm… What you have outlined sounds like it should be working.

The one bit I am not sure about is you appear to only be describing WordPress roles and not also including bbPress’ roles in your description above.

Have you run the bbPress Repair Tool “Remap existing users to default forum roles”?(Tools->Forum)

This will set the users their bbPress role. The default role is Participant (You can change the default role via bbPress settings)

As outlined in the roles docs the bbPress role Particpant role includes the capability read_private_forums which in effect means any private forums can be read by users who are logged in, this would include your members and officers WordPress roles if you assign these WordPress role users the bbPress Participant role. If you assign your Officers WordPress role the bbPress Moderator role they will be able to read hidden forums because they have the read_hidden_forums bbPress capability.
