WordPress should be able to automatically update your .htacess file which it looks like it is based on the last ~11 lines of your post above. Those first ~9 lines though could be the problem as it looks like they are from another WordPress plugin or added by your webhost.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Automatically_updating_.htaccess
If you don’t know what plugin is adding the extra bits to your .htaccess file try disabling all of your plugins except bbPress, go back to your WordPress permalinks settings and update the settings again which forces WordPress to update your .htaccess file and see how that goes.
Thanks. Was Post Name, changed, saved, now it’s back. Says to update .htaccess.
Main directory .htaccess below. Not sure what to update. I just know it would be a little easier but I also like things to work right. One error leads to two, etc

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.
None of the forum importers are importing the ‘sticky status’ of any topics at this stage so after importing any topics you need to stick need to be done manually.
(I can’t see you site at the moment ‘Access Forbidden’ 😉
I am not sure exactly how WordPress embeds work as a whole…
Though this via https://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds
If WordPress fails to embed your URL you will get a hyperlink to the URL.
It’s all in the ‘Eye of the beholder’ I presume, and I don’t think its lame at all.
There are loads of free & paid themes out there for WordPress that bbPress will work with out of the box and with some customizations you can do some amazing things with bbPress…
Examples
Wordpress version: 3.6
bbPress 2.3.2
Site url: http://www.rubycore-ng.com/blog/forum/
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.
Use this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-role-editor/
Then activate and also get BBpres active
Next, reset all roles on Users>User Role Editor
It worked for me
We have bbpress forums installed on our website http://www.hphe.net The forums look great, but when I want to click on a paritulcar user’s profile, the text of the information is overlapping–as if everything is being crammed into the left side of the page. It looks like the screen view needs to expand, but I don’t know how to do that for profile pages.
I am very much in the beginning stages of learning about code…using WordPress so I wouldn’t really have to deal with any code, but I’m seeing that it would be handy in a number of instances. Any help needs to be explained to me in the most basic of terms. :\
Thanks for any help.
Go give bbPress 2.4 RC1 a test run…
bbPress 2.4 – Release Candidate 1
Specifics in Trac ticket #1933
Is there a mobile theme/plugin that can be used w an integrated WordPress/bbpress installation so that a site can be viewed via smartphone? So that BBpress is usable on a phone?
Question:
Exactly what code am I to use and where do I paste it..IE
Do I paste in a VB file before import or in a WordPress/bbPress after import.
Also there is the child theme stuff to be concerned about. Just know I am in the R&D of all this now before I start converting my site. I do have Blogs/Articles too but not many.
Excellent 🙂
The vBulletin importer already includes some regex conversion expressions and should be actually converting those for you.
The actual code from Line #578 is (vBulletin.php)
// Replace '[video=youtube;$1]$2[/video]' with '$2"
$vbulletin5_markup = preg_replace( '/\[video\=youtube;(.*?)\](.*?)\[\/video\]/', '$2', $vbulletin5_markup );
What that is doing using regular expressions is converting anything in the format of
From: [video=youtube;$1]$2[/video]'
eg. [video=youtube;yF5sbwb4VTg]http://youtu.be/yF5sbwb4VTg[/video]
To: '$2"
eg. http://youtu.be/yF5sbwb4VTg
(If WordPress settings allow YouTube embeds then we only need to post the YouTube URL to the topic or reply)
In your case you have an extra string '_share' in your custom BBCode…
So with copy and paste magic… We end up with this as anxtra regex string conversion:
// Replace '[video=youtube;$1]$2[/video]' with '$2"
$vbulletin_markup = preg_replace( '/\[video\=youtube;(.*?)\](.*?)\[\/video\]/', '$2', $vbulletin_markup );
+
+ // Replace '[video=youtube_share;$1]$2[/video]' with '$2"
+ $vbulletin5_markup = preg_replace( '/\[video\=youtube_share;(.*?)\](.*?)\[\/video\]/', '$2', $vbulletin5_markup );
You can look at this gist which is a little clearer to read and also download the file.
https://gist.github.com/ntwb/513187363f36b56ec77d/revisions
You can either add those two lines to your own file or download the gist complete there and it should work for you 🙂
You should be able via FTP or your webhost control panel open up your vBulletin ‘config.php’ file, you can find it in the /includes folder eg /public_html/vb/includes/config.php
http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/editconfig
Now do the same and look at your WordPress ‘wp-config.php’ file
http://support.godaddy.com/help/article/5111/why-is-wordpress-unable-to-connect-to-my-database-during-install
These should give you all the information you need…
One last thing… I have been presuming your importing from vBullen v4.x, are you using v4.x or v5.x?
Try doing an import without importing the users, this will ensure you get past the error ‘WordPress database error: [Table ‘XXXXXXX.user’ doesn’t exist]’ in your original post.
What errors do you see this time?
Also some webhosts require you to use an IP Address for the database server rather than ‘localhost’ and you might want to check that with them.
And of course I/we would love some more error checking and/or notifications to help us debug these errors such as ‘Cannot find database’, ‘Username/Password’ does not match for the database xyz’ etc…
Hi 🙂
We are all just volunteers helping out where and when we can, that becomes more noticeable when a few of us have other stuff going on and we can’t dedicate as much time as we’d like to 🙂
Most definitely private group forum posts should not be showing up when using [bbp-topic-index].
bbPress 2.4 is just about out the door https://bbpress.org/blog/2013/08/bbpress-2-4-release-candidate-1/ but if you give that a try and see how well your BuddyPress Group Forums are being integrated and if your issue has been fixed, if not create a new ticket in trac and we can take a look https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/. I am pretty sure your issues should be covered in the fix from Ticket #2349
Using bbPress (not current version, one back), WordPress 3.5.1. Need 2 plugins:
1. Want to receive eMail on every post, whether new topic or reply.
2. Want a “See New Posts” link in the header. I had this with phpBB and am used to it as are users.
If I don’t need a plugin, and the script(s) can be edited, that’s ok. Just quote me a very reasonable price to do it or provide all the coding and details for me to do.
Try accessing example.com/forums instead
Also to get the forums on your front page of WordPress setup a custom page and add a shortcode:
https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/ https://codex.bbpress.org/widgets/
Can you create a ‘new ticket’ in Trac and we will take a look 😉
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/
On my website I use the shortcode [bbp-topic-form] for displaying the ‘new forum form’.
What I think is odd is that the dropdownlist has no “Please select forum” option. It just displays all of the forums with the first one selected. I know many users are not good readers (sorry 🙂 ) so, when they type the title and message they just hit the submit button and forget to select the correct forum, so many topics are put in the wrong forum. Can someone please help me how to add a ‘please select’ to the dropdown and make it required?
Regards,
Monique
I use BBpress 2.3.2. and WordPress3.6
I am trying to import my vBulletin forum and I get an error:
WordPress database error: [Table ‘XXXXXXX.user’ doesn’t exist]
Does anyone know what I need to do?
I XXXed out my user name for security but the user name is right.
Hallo,
I’ve just installed bbPress.
In my WordPress a warning appears:
Load Behavior: The author used load_textdomain instead of load_plugin_textdomain function. This may change the behavior of WordPress, because some filters and actions now no longer be executed. Please contact therefore the author.
What does the author say?

Thanks Stephen, I will try there.
I’m not familiar enough with the way BuddyPress works its ‘members’.
Jump over to http://buddypress.org and see if they can give you some pointers.
Stephen thank you for your reply.
I seem to have done this already today, though not intentionally, I have been working on resolving this for the past 6 hours.
The image below confirms that I now have 91 participants. But if you click on my ‘Members’ on my home page it states there are now 20 members (link here http://www.whichinvestmenttrust.com/members/ ).
I believe ‘Members’ comes from Buddypress and not from BBPress so I’ve been wondering if there is a disconnect there? Maybe I haven’t set it up properly.
I’ve looked through a lot of forums and posts both on BBpress, WordPress and several other websites bit I’ve not seen anyone else posting this issue.
Thanks, Dice
