Ok so here is my story:
I currently have:
Wordpress 3.5
Bbpress 2.2.3
Buddypress 1.6.3
History:
Back in December everything was working great (all my bbpress forum “posts” were showing up in Google searches). I had a couple of issues with my host, and decided to deactivate the bbpress plugin for a couple of weeks.
Several weeks ago I reactivated the forum and integrated it with buddypress (merged the two forums). I had absolutely no problem doing it.
I also used google webmaster tools to point to a new sitemap created by a plugin (WordPress SEO) 3 weeks ago.
Problem:
So here is my problem. When I do an advance search on google, I only get my sites topic pages, topic tag pages, and forum pages… not the forum posts!
What can be the issue?
Here is my site: http://otakuspace.com/forums/

Hi,
We have another forum plugin called “simple press”. And these two forum plugin both work fine except that when we try to search in our “simple press” it gives us a 404 error. Is there a way to fix this? If not, is there a way to disable the bbpress plugin on a specific page? I already tried “plugin organizer” but not working.
note: When I disable bbpress, search function for “simple press” is working fine.
Wordpress version: 3.5
Thanks!

These are your WordPress settings, you need to use your phpBB database name, database user & database user password.
I tried to import Phpbb forum to bbpress, with the import tool :
http://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/
I disable Forums and start the process, and i have this :
“Repair any missing information: Continue
Conversion Complete
No replies to convert
No tags to convert
No topics to convert
No forum parents to convert
No forums to convert
No passwords to clear
No users to convert
Starting Conversion
”
My informations :
– phpBB
– Port : 3306
– Name BDD : The name in my wp-config (i use the same base for forum and a wordpress installation)
– Name user BDD : The user in my wp-config
– Pass : The Pass in my wp-config
– Prefix : PhpBB3
and Start.
I show all the informations many times and they are all right… I don’t understand where is the problem.
Thanks for your responses
There does not seem to be a step by step manual.
`To customize bbPress:
The directory “wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/” contains the directories “bbpress”, “css”, “extras”, and “js”, and the file “bbpress-functions.php”.
“bbpress” contains template files; copy any you want to modify into a directory named “bbpress” in your theme’s root. eg. /wp-content/mytheme/bbpress/
“extras” contains optional page templates and things to make life a little easier when customizing; copy any you want to use or modify into the same ‘bbpress’ folder. eg. /wp-content/mytheme/bbpress/
“css” contains style sheets; copy any you want to modify into a directory named “css” in your theme’s root. eg. /wp-content/mytheme/css/
Edit the new files for complete control over bbPress display in your theme.`
^ I did all this and the forum stopped working at all. No other option?
Thanks.
Using wordpress 3.5
I totally uninstalled bbpress,
dropped all bbpress tables from db
but this link:
http://mysite.com/wp-admin/users.php?role=bbp_keymaster
besides premium subbscribers and others.
still there in user dashboard windows.
I’d like to get rid of it, how?
Is this the full solutions already?
Yes
Or the known issues are still there at https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/mingle/ ?
This is up to date, anything listed here are the ‘workarounds’ you will need to do manually.
1) Which folder to put this file Mingle.php ?
Download `Mingle.php` using this link and upload the file with FTP to `/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/converters`
2) Just quickly have a look at my phpMyAdmin http://visionopen.com/questions/phpMyAdmin.png, is there any potential issue(s) for me to proceed with this Mingle.php?
Everything looks good here, on the import screen where it asks for table prefix use `wp_`
Remember to backup your web site pages and database first though…
bbPress uses the permalink settings (/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bbpress) to determine if we are loading something that is bbPress, if it is bbPress we are loading then we need to load the appropriate bbPress template.
So if the CPT permalink plugin you are using is hijacking WordPress CPT’s before bbPress can detect its own CPT permalink to load a bbPress template then no bbPress template will be loaded.
One more thing Stephen, is the converter supposed to convert Topic Subscription? If not, do you have any idea where that’s stored in WordPress/bbPress?
Yeah, all the Vanilla tables are prefixed with “GDN_”. I was mostly trying to work it out in the converter file so I could share it with others that might be trying to convert. Vanilla is pretty popular, so there’s gotta be a few out there tired of Vanilla’s poor integration with WordPress. Unless there is an easy way to filter them, I’ll just run the SQL statement above, that clears them out nicely. Thanks alot for your help.
If you are going to use a plugin to hack the permalinks of bbPress, this is ‘that’ plugins support issue not a bbPress issue as permalinks in bbPress work as expected per design.
You would be far better of asking in the ‘Custom Post Type Permalinks’ support forum and even read some of those topics for similar issues.
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/custom-post-type-permalinks
Can you create a bug ticket over at trac for this please
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/
O.M.G I have finally come across the solution to my problem! Well I have only tested it in my local environment a couple of times and the issue has gone away so hopefully it’s fixed for good!
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2155
The solution was to change the `bbp_redirect_to_field()` function. I changed this function located in bbpress\includes\common\template-tags.php and the redirects now work!
Thanks bbPress team =)
Modified function:
`function bbp_redirect_to_field( $redirect_to = ” ) {
// Make sure we are directing somewhere
if ( empty( $redirect_to ) ) {
if ( isset( $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’] ) ) {
$redirect_to = ( is_ssl() ? ‘https://’ : ‘http://’ ) . $_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’] . $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’];
} else {
$redirect_to = wp_get_referer();
}
}
// Remove loggedout query arg if it’s there
$redirect_to = (string) esc_attr( remove_query_arg( ‘loggedout’, $redirect_to ) );
$redirect_field = ”;
echo apply_filters( ‘bbp_redirect_to_field’, $redirect_field, $redirect_to );
}`
bbPress’ profile pages are simply a front-end interface for the profile settings available through the WordPress dashboard.
The best approach would be to see how your external membership system is disabling this functionality in WordPress, then reproduce that for bbPress.
I think giving the user an edit profile panel in a discussion forum plugin is a bad approach
To be honest, this seems like pretty core functionality for any discussion board software. I’ve personally never encountered a forum that didn’t allow me to make changes to my profile or settings.
1) In the yellow status window of the importer if you right click in Firefox/Chrome ‘inspect element’ you can check the SQL queries that the importer ran, have a look at the SQL query for the user import and check if that is what the SQL query should be.
The from/join logic is in converter.phpL#777 and you can use that as a guide to how to translate your query to the fields you are mapping.
2) I would not worry about this option as once you have finished the import and start to run the ‘repair forums’ tools the last option is “Remap existing users to default forum roles” and that will set all users without a bbPress role to ‘participant’
Feel free to throw any questions you have here as I am trying to fix a join for the Invision.php importer as we speak and its being a pain also 😉
What do you want to know?
There is no need to reverse engineer anything, just grab the latest copy of Example.php either from /bbpress/includes/admin/converters/ or the latest updated version I am working on here and start modifying the table mappings as per the docs in the codex.
https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/ & https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/custom-import/
Just installed this forum and am very disappointed. I installed mingle forum as well and out of the box it is fantastic. But do not like the fact that the theme does not integrate with the site theme. This integrates with the theme but thats all it does. I have spend hours trying to get the sidebar to work and finally found a plugin called WP tweaks. Okay side bar works, but then no topis are visible and no menu items are visible to allow me to post a reply or create a topic.
Everywhere i look, I see folks telling that you have to change the code in one file or the other. Really? Come on folks before you deploy a piece of software at least make sure it works and has the basic functions before marketing it as easy to use and a 10 minute install.
I am a big Joomla fan and atleast Joomla plugins work and we do not have to change every php or html file. I like WordPress a lot, but a lot of the plugins are badly coded like this one.
Am removing this forum and will give it a 1 star for too many problems right out of the box. I need to hire programmers just to get the basics working.
No where in the documentation it talks about the sidebar issue and these other problems. But I can see why this would be a programmers dream. It is job secuerity for them so they can spend hours on making the basics work. Switching to Mingle.
Unfortunate.

No.
That is less than one sentence, bbPress requires WordPress as everything bbPress is stored within WordPress’ database tables, it does not use its own database tables for anything including user login, registration and management.
You don’t need to show WordPress ‘blog’ pages on the homepage and you can make bbPress the ‘homepage’ essential a page on your current site.
You would have to look at how you could integrate single sign on for your current users with WordPress.
@noumaan I just tested this and everything works as expected with a WordPress user with the WP role ‘Subscriber’ and bbPress role ‘Keymaster’
These following are the only admin panels available/visible in the WP admin dashboard:
- Home – Right now in forums (stats)
- bbPress Forums, Topics and Replies panels
- Profile (Edit own profile)
- Tools -> Forums (Repair, Import & Reset bbPress tools)
- Settings -> Forums (Main bbPress settings)
I’m having a bit of an issue with bbPress and WPML. For some reason it loads every single wordpress post ever created under the actual forum.
See: http://www.touhou.si/forums/forum/testingissoawesome/
Has anyone seen anything like that before?
Hey guys,
I’m here to find a forum that I can integrate in a website I develop in my free time (http://www.carspending.com/). I need absolutely minimalistic forum software with i18n support and basically that’s most of it. But I’m not interested in WordPress, for now.
So, in one sentence – is it possible to integrate bbPress and create single sign-on, without WordPress at all? Have someone done it? Are there tutorials on the sign system of bbpress?
I read this entire thread and I am still unclear about this. On my site, I am trying to make a user Keymaster. The user’s WordPress role is subscriber and I want them to have the forum role of the keymaster. The problem is that the user can not see Forums menu item on their dashboard and can not perform keymaster actions. So how do we make someone a keymaster without giving them access to administration of the whole site?
Hi,
Setting up a WordPress membership site with bbPress. All is well except this site uses an external program for membership control and all email and password changes must be done in the external program.
I noticed that bbPress allows a user to edit their WP profile. I need to block this. I don’t need a forum program to give a user the ability to change their WP profile. Any help on how to remove the “Edit” link from the profile page would be greatly appreciated.
I have updated Mingle.php over in trac here with what I hope should fix things up.
Let me know what other issues you have found that we might be able to improve upon also.
