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?
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
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
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
@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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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/
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/
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/
