Cool, got it, your issue is because you have more than 50 forums.
Purposely limited to 50 forums. If your site has that many main forums or subforums, it’s time to reconsider your categorization strategy.
See https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1997
This could be an issue with your rewrite rules. To fix this try resetting your permalinks. In your WordPress Administration Screens navigate to Settings > Permalinks, select a different permalink structure and save. Then select your preferred permalink structure and save again.
Also try the repair tools https://codex.bbpress.org/repair-forums/
Did you use single or double quotes around wp_?
The error you show above showing the error as \”wp_\”forum_forums is an odd one, if things were working correctly I would expect the error to look more like this wp_forum_forums.
Open up your wp-config.php file again:
// ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define('DB_NAME', 'database_name_here');
/** MySQL database username */
define('DB_USER', 'username_here');
/** MySQL database password */
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password_here');
/** MySQL hostname */
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
Make sure the values above are the ones you are using on the bbPress import settings and that you select Mingle as the import type.
If you still have the same issue you might have to have a chat with your web host to see if there is some extra SQL settings needed by them.
Hello Stephen,
Thank you so much for replying. I opened the wp-config.php and looked up the $table_prefix and it was ‘wp_’ so I tried to run the convert/import and it came up with this message:
Starting ConversionRepair any missing information: Continue
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 ‘\”wp_\”forum_forums AS forum_forums LIMIT 0, 100’ at line 1]
SELECT convert(forum_forums.id USING “utf8”) AS id,convert(forum_forums.parent_id USING “utf8”) AS parent_id,convert(forum_forums.name USING “utf8”) AS name,convert(forum_forums.description USING “utf8”) AS description,convert(forum_forums.sort USING “utf8”) AS sort FROM \”wp_\”forum_forums AS forum_forums LIMIT 0, 100No forums to convert
I’m really not sure what to do here. Like I said I’m a SQL newbie so I really don’t understand much about it yet.
Thank you for your assistance so far,
Scott
It looks like you used wp_forums_\ as the table prefix on the importer settings, as a quick guess I think it should be wp_
Edit: You can confirm what this value should be by opening the wp-config.php file in the root of the WordPress install that has Mingle forums installed.
/**
* WordPress Database Table prefix.
*
* You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique
* prefix. Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!
*/
$table_prefix = 'wp_';
Thanks for this and yes, confirmed 🙁
I have added a patch to the bbPress Trac Ticket #2472
I also added the full Mingle.php with the patch included, could you download this and test it.
It should fix both the issue where multiple topics have the same title and also renamed topics.
Update: WordPress SEO by Yoast can do this! At the Title & Metas tab —>Post Type —> Custom Post Type Archive, there are options for BBpress titles so all the problems above resolved! If am not wrong, All In One SEO can not do this (I have this experience with All In One SEO before). Thanks. Nice day
I’ve just created a fresh wordpress site 3.7.1 with theme twentytwelve, and added bbpress 2.4.1 to it.
I am able to create forums, set up users, tools etc. etc.
$retstr = sprintf( esc_html__( 'This forum contains %1$s, and was last updated by %2$s %3$s.', 'bbpress' ), $topic_text, $last_updated_by, $time_since );
Warning: sprintf() [function.sprintf]: Too few arguments in /xxx/xxx/xxx/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/forums/template.php on line 187
bbPress Version 2.4.1
WordPress 3.7.1.
Buddypress Version 1.8.1
WPML Version 3.0.1

I need help please,

Hello, I have installed bbpress and added a forum and topic.
WordPress and BBPress are both the latest version.
The forum shows in a really odd way with items stacked on top of each other.
http://imagphoto.com/forums/forum/new-forum/
Secondly, the breadcrumb link to the forum results in a 404 http://imagphoto.com/forums/forum/
Yet the parent link in the breadcrumb works http://imagphoto.com/forums/
Is it possible to use pages and the shortcodes to have the forum within a page so that I can control the settings of the page and maybe dump the sidebar to see if that corrects the issue? I checked the documentation but could not see anything about this specific issue.
Many thanks for your help 🙂
Hi, for breadcrumbs and notice you can to edit bbpress teplate files and remove the line… for first title and posted by you must to edit your wordpress page template!!
I’m not seeing this on any of my installs, try running the ‘Repair BuddyPress Group Forum relationships’ repair tool https://codex.bbpress.org/repair-forums/
I am not that familar with mod_fcgid but a quick search landed me here if that might help
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/500-internal-error-when-creating-package?replies=6#post-4873684
Dropbox are using the old bbPress ‘Standalone’ 1.x version with some custom theming, though I wouldn’t recommend installing this old version as I am quite sure they have lots of customizations in the backend to get around the known numerous issues with the old version.
Go with the new version https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/installation/
Then start customizing the templates to the style you want
https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/
Same problem, it’s just hanging.
What stage do you get to though now?
(As you shouldn’t be seeing “Delete users WordPress default passwords Deleting previously converted data” etc)
“Deleting Conversion Table… Failed”
This is fine, it just depends on if bbPress used a conversion table to do the conversion or it used the source database tables correctly.
As well as the actual users there are a lot of bots etc. (e.g. AdsBot Google, Ask Jeeves Bot)
These are special phpBB user accounts that I haven’t found a way to ignore importing just yet and must be manually removed after importing, see the follwing for a list of them all.

Hello,
I have WP 3.7.1 installed with bbPress 2.4.1.
When I create a user in frontend the user role is not set.
I need to use repair forum function in order to sync every time I create a user,
WordPress Dashboard -> ‘Tools’ -> ‘Forums’ -> ‘Repair Forums’
I am using the default twenty eleven theme.
Can someone please help me with this?
Currently the Forum Root is titled Forum Archive by default and there is no way to change it from the back-end. This is still impossible even when the Forum Root is partnered with a wordpress page optimized with a SEO pluggin like All In One SEO or WordPress SEO By Yoast.
So I think I going to modify the code to get this done, but I need your instruction, please help.
And how can I request this possibility as a default feature in the next BBPress realease? I think many people will thank it.
Thanks in advance,
Hung.
Ok, open content-archive-forum.php
Sorry i understand what you want.. h1 title before id bbpress is made by wordpress, is title page, i think you find it in your page template!!

Are you using the WXR Importer?
There was a ‘Google Summer of Code’ project recently and the WordPress importer was forked and updated, if you have issues with the standard version maybe give that a try.

Hello,
I’m trying to do the convert from mingle to bbpress. I found the post
Importing Mingle Forums into bbPress?
Which Stephen Edgar was assisting someone on and was able to get it to work. I put in the information to start the convert and got this error:
Repair any missing information: Continue
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 ‘\”wp_forums_\”forum_forums AS forum_forums LIMIT 0, 100’ at line 1]

I’m not a database expert by any means and I don’t want to screw up anything. If anyone could help me with getting this done I would appreciate it very much. Mingle is slowing down my site and I need to get to something better.
Thank you,
Scott
Yes you are right ability to put swf into the wordpress forum is crucial. I’ve got how to do it. Looking stupid but it works. Here is the code:
<object width=”399″ height=”270″>
<param name=”movie” value=”http://dev4ata.com/aa/Seasons.swf”>
<embed src=”http://dev4ata.com/aa/Seasons.swf” width=”399″ height=”270″>
</embed>
</object>
here is the result:

I’m having some issues with this plugin. Hopefully someone here can help.
I’ve installed on a local installation, using Instant WordPress.
I’ve read everything on here about this error and it’s all about ports but I do not know how to make a change to a) Instant WordPress or b) bbpress to fix the issue.
My error is ERROR: Are you sure you wanted to do that?
Yes. Yes I am.
Can anyone offer some insight? Explain it like I’m 5, because the existing answers do not seem to work for me.
I have the most recent versions of WordPress and bbpress installed. I can create forums and topics with the WordPress dashboard, but not replies. I cannot create forums, topics or replies using the plugin at all.
Thank you!
I have the same problem.
I instaled your plugin ob new wordpress version 3.7.1
this info was show after instaling plugin.
On frond-end website forum looks fine [http://…./forums]
but I’m not abble to open settings. Everything not working. It only shows info, you haven’t access to this – or something simillar.
It’s not working:
Forums> New

That theme you are trying to install ‘Static-Blue-BB’ is for the old standalone version of bbPress and will not work with the current version of bbPress 2.x Plugin for WordPress.
bbPress now use’s your WordPress theme, i.e. your ‘main theme’, if you want to tweak the templates of your theme click the ‘themes’ link at the top of this page and follow the link there.
Closing this topic as it relates to the old standalone bbPress v0.9/v1.2x version of bbPress.
None of this information is valid for the current bbPress v2.x Plugin for WordPress.
