I have installed the bbpress plugin into wordpress. After the activation, I get the plugin activated message. However, no tables are created and on the path where the plugin is installed the page is just blank. Anything else I need to do?

Thanks

[kenrichman]

So is it possible to use any of the bbpress plug-ins e.g. for moderation, with a buddypress site? Not necessarily using the buddypress forums – could be site-wide forums, I don’t care.

The server your clients site is on doesn’t have enough memory allocated to PHP. If they are paying you to fix it, they are trusting you to know how to fix it. A google search for PHP memory issues will be the most helpful to you.

bbConverter FAQ/Known Issues 1.3 phpbb – bbpress

– Post URL’s (**From post above this post)

The URL’s from phpbb I thought were not getting migrated correctly when in fact they are, it is just that phpbb in its table lists the URL’s rather oddly. When looking at URL’s in the raw tables of phpbb they are in the following format:

<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://example.com">http://example.com<!-- m --></a>

Need to strip the <!– m –> & ‘ class=”postlink”‘ before conversion either with bbconverter or firstly converting the links in phpbb before conversion

– Poster IP Address is not migrated.

see this post.

– Images and Attachments (and smilies) are not migrated.

see this post.

– Existing Users

If a username already exists in wp_users the imported user will be named imported_username eg. If ‘john’ already exists will import as ‘imported_john’

– User Post Counts are not imported

When viewing /wp-admin/users.php each user post count is ‘0’

Ideally adding support to bbPress Core /wp-admin/tools.php?page=bbp-recount would fix that.

(I couldn’t find where WP/BBP is keeping the total post count for a user though it is stored in phpbb_users user_posts)

– Ophaned/Deleted User Posts:

If the user has been deleted from phpbb when bbConverter runs these posts will be imported into bbPress as userid ‘1’ (i.e. ‘Admin’)

– Time Zone

Ensure you have your WP install is set to the same Time Zone as phpbb to get correct post times

– User Profile data AIM & YahooIM fields are migrated by Jabber is not

add the following code for ‘jabber’ to ‘/** User Section **********’ of phpbb.php script below aim/yim

<br />

// User jabber.<br />

$this->field_map[] = array(<br />

'from_tablename' => 'users', 'from_fieldname' => 'user_jabber',<br />

'to_type' => 'user', 'to_fieldname' => 'jabber'<br />

);<br />

– ‘Quotes’

I haven’t fully looked into how quote behavior works just yet, needless to say a workaround of sorts needs to be found for this.

– Additional User Profile fields

Ideally would like to import phpbb_users user_from (phpbb User Localtion) field to wp_usermeta description (Thus eg. Melbourne, Australia is added to the WP user BIO). Unless of course there is a funky way to import ‘User Location'(user_from), ‘Signatures'(user_sig), ‘occupation'(user_occ) & ‘interests'(user_interests) all together into WP Bio?

– User Stuff not migrated (No big deal IMHO)

User Subscribed Post, Favorite, Bookmarks, Private Messages, Rank

(I dont see much of that as a very big issue in my case, users can just start this stuff from scratch)

And that’s about all I have for now… Any ideas or other workarounds would all be well received and again thanks guys for this plugin and hope that now phpbb is there I can help contribute something back.

Cheers,

Stephen

They talk about one “standalone importer” plugin.. but it is some kind of ghost plugin

it is not present in the bbpress.org plugins

it is not present in the wordpress.org plugins

but it does exists

I’m too in your situation.

I’ve installed and activated the bbpress 2.0.2 plugin in my wordpress… now what?

Thank you for any tip

Cor

[Corsari]

One kind explanation…

where is this plugin?

I mean, I own a standalone bbpress forum (Version 0.9x)

I also own a wordpress forum

I’ve installed and activated the bbpress 2.0.2 plugin

How to import the standalone bbpress into the WP plugged-in bbpress installation?

Searching “standalone importer” on both wordpress.org and bbpress.org plugins sections, doesn’t return any plugin named “standalone importer”

One additional tip. once I’ve imported the standalone’s data, how is it supposed to be accessed the “new” forum? (from the blog’ visitors point of view)

Thank you for any advice and hint

[MikeTime360]

Where does the standard bbPress 2.0.2 plugin place the database/tables inside the WordPress structure? I am a novice and I can not find the database/tables to remove completely from my site so I can re-install in a different configuration. Can anyone tell me where to look and what the typical naming is for the database/tables with the actual data in it? Thanks. (I tried looking in the forum, but I had no luck.)

In bbPress, after I set the time zone to UTC-5 in “Settings” ->”General Settings”, it gave me the following error

and now whenever I go to “Settings” it only shows this error and won’t show my settings to make changes.

How do I fix this?

I don’t know if it matters, but my bbPress is integrated with WP.

This is the error:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘Exception’ with message ‘DateTimeZone::__construct() [datetimezone.–construct]: Unknown or bad timezone (UTC-5)’ in /data/16/1/21/63/1836226/user/1992360/htdocs/wordpress1/bbpress/bb-admin/options-general.php:180 Stack trace: #0 /data/16/1/21/63/1836226/user/1992360/htdocs/wordpress1/bbpress/bb-admin/options-general.php(180): DateTimeZone->__construct(‘UTC-5’) #1 {main} thrown in /data/16/1/21/63/1836226/user/1992360/htdocs/wordpress1/bbpress/bb-admin/options-general.php on line 180

[Martin]

Hmmm, can I do that into another WP / bbPress site or does it have to be into the same installation that my current WP installation with the posts is running in?

And can it only convert a particular category as well I.e I’ve already set a ‘Forum’ category for the posts I’d like to convert.

Thanks for your help thus far too

Hello, I’ve been trying to install bbpress and I keep getting this message.

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 122880 bytes) in /home/assoc786/public_html/wp-admin/admin-header.php on line 122

What should I do to fix this? I promised client he could have a forum with his BuddyPress site.

Thankt you.

Goal: Add BuddyPress with GROUP forums using bbPress.

Situation: Current WordPress has bbPress installed as a SINGLE forum. BuddyPress is not installed yet.

Problem: (on a test WordPress site) When I add BuddyPress, bbPress uses existing files and shows up as a SINGLE forum and will NOT show up as a GROUP forum.

Q1. How do I remove/restructure bbPress so I can add BuddyPress with bbPress as a GROUP forum? (I am ok with losing current bbPress data, but would prefer to backup for a different use.)

Q2. WHERE is current bbPress forum DATABASE so I can copy (then remove) it before I install BuddyPress with Group Forums using bbPress?

Thank you for help!

Thanks for info!

Actually as WordPress allows it, I installed files in physical folder domain.com/wp, while users access the blog via domain.com/blog.

In such setup, is it possible to separate the forum from blog and access it via domain.com/forum?

[Gautam Gupta]

Rastarr, you may try converting your WordPress blog into bbPress standalone forums via http://code.google.com/p/wordpress-to-bbpress-converter/ and then use the bbPress plugin importer to import from the bbPress standalone. Please have a backup, cheers!

Well, it’s 7 months since the last comment and I’m wondering whether anything official did actually ‘come down the pipe’?

I’ve just converted my Drupal site over to a locally running WordPress / bbPress installation however all previous forums from my Drupal site are currently WP Posts since they’ve retained the comment structure.

I’m able to convert the Posts to Topics however the comments remain elusive, presumably since Replies are a custom content type and, for whatever reason, comments aren’t a content type. At least nothing that’s recognised by the converting plugin that I found.

Being able to convert a WP Post with comments to a Topic with Replies is about the only thing now that’s stopping the converted site from going live.

Any suggestions would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks

Martin

@monoman – If WordPress is installed in a physical folder named ‘blog’ you won’t be able to easily put bbPress in any other folder. There are advanced ways of making this work, but you’d want to hire a pro to make it go (or do some digging into moving your WP install and/or sharing user tables between installs.)

Thank you. For some reason, the page worked, but did not have the correct formatted look.

I just found that the bbpress widgets actually place the forum and the log-in in the right column, which may be even easier to use, and the page seems to be formatted correctly as well, so I will mainly use those.

The pairmybeer site looks good, and is very concisely branded.

Hi everyone. I’ve been trying to display posts from the forum on a static home page so that it gives the appearance of a blog. Basically, I’m using the tewntyeleven theme and I’m using the showcase.php template to display the forum entries.

you can see what I’m going for here.. http://test.objectsinmotion.org

So far, I’ve managed to modify it so that super stickies are put in the featured slideshow. The forum posts are displayed properly, and I’ve managed to pull the topic tags. One of the things I’ve been having a lot of trouble with is displaying the forum a topic is posted in as a category. Normally there is a line of text below the topic excerpt that says, “posted in (category name)” . But it seems that nothing I have tried so far is working. In fact, whenever I try to call the forum title, is displays the topic title instead.

I’m not a programmer, and I know next to nothing about php, I’ve been doing a lot of reading, and trying to learn as much as I can, but I’m just running into a brick wall here. Any help anyone could offer would be much appreciated.

Showcase.php uses content.php to display all that meta data. right now it looks like this..

<?php

/**

* The default template for displaying content

*

* @package WordPress

* @subpackage Twenty_Eleven

* @since Twenty Eleven 1.0

</hgroup>

<?php else : ?>

<h1 class="entry-title"><a>" title="<?php printf( esc_attr__( 'Permalink to %s', 'twentyeleven' ), the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) ); ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>

Other things on my to-do list include making the comments section show number of forum replies instead of number of wordpress comments, and changing the author link so that it goes to the bbpress profile of that user instead of a wordpress post archive.

For now though, I’m hoping that someone out there can help me with the “category” issue. Anyone have any ideas?

My website is based on static files located at the root level and later I have added WordPress blog set up in subfolder with permalink at /blog. After installing bbPress plugin, I’m not able to separate blog and forum in permalinks. I don’t know how to setup bbPress to have forum at /forum, instead of /blog/forum, which is the default setting and looks strange.

Do you know how to setup bbPress plugin correctly to solve this issue?

Thanks in advance!

Congrats on the stable release! I myself have been waiting to download it until all the kinks have been worked out. Downloaded this morning, and everything is better than I expected. GREAT JOB!

Quick question – sorry if it was already covered. I am currently using BBPress (standalone) version 1.1 and WordPress 3.2.1. I wanted to start using the BBpress plug-in. Are there any migration tools that allow an import from the standalone software to the plug-in?

Thanks for any information!
