That’s annoying. Can you create a trac ticket over on bbpress.trac.wordpress.org, and I’ll check it out for 2.1.1?

[John James Jacoby]

If bbporg_ is in the twentyten theme, that’s me being an idiot; and I’ll have to fix it in 2.1.1. Can you create a trac ticket over at bbpress.trac.wordpress.org, and I’ll take a look into this more?

Oops, the code got parsed funky. Basically, I’m using a variation of the code on this page: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/fetch_feed

[John James Jacoby]

That’s a bit odd, since that’s a core WordPress WP_Query method.

Can you confirm that your update went smoothly? Maybe try reinstalling bbPress manually.

Also, what theme are you using? It’s possible there’s a conflict, or something else weird is going on.

Thanks for helping.

Hi guys

Just to add to my latest reply above, I started a conversion with row limis = 100 and delay time = 1 and it was succesfull up to the lines 700-799. The conversion cannot pass that point. Whatever I do. It hangs always at 799.

Thank You

[markusbb]

Hi guys

I found the last query as @John James Jacob pointed out. However, I do not think that this is the issue. As I decrease the “Rows Limit” the conversion goes further one more step. I mean it will proceed one more conversion step and then hang. For instance, having “Row Limits” set to 10 it passed the “Converting topics (780 – 789)” but it hanged at “Converting topics (790 – 799)”. Before this, I set the “Row Limits” to 25, again the conversion executed one more conversion step than when the “Row Limits” set to 50.

I have no idea how to troubleshoot this. Any ideas?

Thank You

My two cents worth … bearing in mind that I don’t actually use bbPress at the moment so this is all theoretical, so treat my opinion accordingly …

I migrated a site with around 250,000 posts a while back, and the only thing I had trouble with was the import script timing out, but that’s an easily fixable bottleneck.

I think the main problem you might stumble across, is that WordPress isn’t that good at handling dynamic content IMO and so the server load may become a problem with lots of activity on your forum. Most sites are static, therefore you can cache the heck out of them, forums not so much.

Personally, I’d still use bbPress even for a fairly large forum though. I know WordPress better than anything else, and so I’d be more comfortable scaling bbPress to high traffic volumes than I would any other platform. My suspicion is that many other dedicated forum packages could theoretically handle a lot more load though, since they’re (theoretically) architected to handle dynamic content better than WordPress.

PS: Kudos to whoever’s been working on this site in the past 12 months. I haven’t been here in a while and it sure does look a lot better 🙂

Hi John James Jacoby

Thank you for your reply and help.

I will look into this and get back to you with feedback.

Thank You

[John James Jacoby]

@markusbb – I experienced this twice while converting bbPress.org over last night. I considered it a fluke, since it was with over 100k post entries.

In your wp_options table, should be an entry with the key ‘_bbp_converter_query’. It will indicate what the last attempted converter query is, which will narrow down the scope of your search to figure out what may have gone wrong.

Apologies that you’re having trouble, and we’d like to get whatever is wrong fixed up for the next release.

[markusbb]

Hi guys

Thank you for your replies.

I started the conversion however it hangs at a “Converting topics (300 – 599)” point. I restarted the conversion and still the same. Any ideas why this might happening?

Thank You

[Anointed]

The code is in the core for you to use, though not yet implemented in the front end, the functions work.

Hey guys, today I installed bbpress on my wordpress blog. But I suddenly face a problem. After i entered mydomain.com/forums i say all the categories. Then when i click on a category it opens a page with this write :

Catchable fatal error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted to string in /home/mileyray/public_html/wp-content/themes/especial/libraries/breadcrumb.php on line 88

the line that it underlines is: echo get_category_parents($ID, TRUE, $markup, FALSE );

I’m using the latest version of wordpress 3.4.1

Please help me! Thx in advance.

Hello community,

I am doing some work for a client (www.autoedizione.nl), unrelated to bbpress, but all of a sudden, after updating bbPress, links to categories are very strange.

In the menu, there are links to category pages which are (simply put) site.domain/category, and these worked fine before update. After the update, they are redirected to site.domain/forums/forum/category.

The links in the menu are generated by WordPress, using get_category_link($id), with the correct $id.

Is there any way to fix this? It’s wreaking havoc for the site. By the way, links to pages that are formatted similarly (site.domain/page), still work.

[leew4jc]

I have been searching for a solution to this problem for days…and I’ve managed to find a solution only hours after posting this message – I find that quite ironic.

The way that I found which works really well for me is to use the Page Security by Contexture plugin. It creates groups very simply and restricting a forum to a given group/groups restricts all the topics in that forum as well replies and so on. It’s exactly what I needed.

[leew4jc]

I am trying to find a way to create groups of users in WordPress and allow only certain groups access to certain forums.
Can anyone suggest a way of doing this using bbPress and other plugins only? I don’t want to use BuddyPress.

Welcome to bbPress forums!

To convert bbPress 1 to plugin version select Tools/Forums menu on Import Forums tab

Screenshot : https://dl.dropbox.com/u/90154006/wpvn/bbpress_tool.png

Regards,

[Stephen Edgar]

The very first setting on the ‘Import Forum’ page has a drop down to select which forum software you are wanting to import from bbPress, phpBB etc,

And to clarify bbPress1 is the same as bbPress Standalone

[markusbb]

Hi guys

I am installing the bbpress plugin, deactivating all other plugins, go to Tools > Import but I cannot find the BBpress Standalone tool there. Any ideas ?

Thank You

[matiasgt]

omg thanks a lot.

i waste a lot of time trying to translate this plugin.

For spanish use:

https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/plugin/es/default

and after donwload the archives rename them as follow:

bbpress-es_ES

bbpress-es_ES

Now i have my forum working in spanish

http://www.campingchile.cl/Forums/

[Stephen Edgar]

Add the ‘bbPRess Recent Topics’ widget to a sidebar

https://codex.bbpress.org/widgets/

Or use the [bbp-topic-index] shorcode

https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

[ryanburgeriowa]

I want to show latest threads from our bbpress installation in the first forum on our homepage http://www.3xwrestling.com/new in a widget if possible and also on http://www.3xwrestling.com/new/3xw-interact/

Can someone please help me on how I do that integration between wordpress and bbpress.

[Stephen Edgar]

bbPress 2.1 includes a conversion tool to import forums/topics/replies/users from some of the popular forum packages eg. bbPress or phpBB

There is an ‘example’ file also included as a ‘reference template’ that if Mingle is using a SQL database then you could easily modify this to be a custom importer by matching the correct database tables/fields etc

The file is called ‘example.php’ and is located in /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-admin/converters

If you look at converting Mingle it would be great if contributed this back to bbPress for other Mingle users https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/

Confirmed Bug https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1891

[presspressperson]

@Lynq:

In the example you came up with, you seem to have come up with your own structure. As far as I can tell, Bbpress’ structure is Forums > Topics > Posts.

So the current hierarchy eliminates the possibility of the duplicate URL in your example. If you had a forum “General Chat” and two separate topics called “chat” they’d have to be in separate forums.

EXAMPLE:

Preferred:

http://www.domain.com/general-chat/topic-one/chat

http://www.domain.com/general-chat/topic-two/chat

Current:

1. http://www.domain.com/forums

changes to

2. http://www.domain.com/forums/forum/general-chat/

when you click a forum, and then changes to

3. http://www.domain.com/forums/topic/topic-one

@Mr Jacoby:

I appreciate your response, and I’ve seen some very helpful posts by you in these forums. Thanks. In this instance, however, are missing our point. In my example above, you can see that the URLs look nothing like wordpress permalinks. End users (and our visitors) are not concerned with how the back end might be similar. We only see that the URLs look silly and lack continuity (specifically switching from forums to forum to topic). They do not reflect the simple forum > topic > post hierarchy. When I said ‘useless,’ I was, of course, speaking in terms of end users and our visitors. I get that bbpress developers use it. I also get that it’d be possible to change (especially since wordpress is already doing what we want).

If wordpress URLs looked like bbpress URLs, I suspect they’d look something like:

http://www.domain.com/pages/page/page-one OR

http://www.domain.com/posts/post/post-one OR

http://www.domain.com/page/page-one

My guess is that this isn’t something that’s going to be possible with bbpress’ plugin unless someone develops it on the side (as you suggested), but please try to at least understand our inquiry instead of pretending like we simply don’t know what we’re talking about.

If anyone has any helpful hints on where one might get started on changing the url structure, it would be greatly appreciated. I see this being an issue that many, many more wordpress users will seek a solution for.

For SEO, and for advertising purposes, it’s much better to remove unnecessary /word/words/more-words-that-dont-help-identify-page-content/ from URLs.
