It’s a plugin for WordPress so you’d install with your current website. The domain would be something like mywebsite.com/forums

The style will be inherited by whatever WordPress theme you’re using.

Is there any simple way yet to convert an existing punBB forum (I’m running version 1.2.16) into bbPress yet? I tried the bbConverter plugin which says their punBB converter is “not complete”. I tried it anyway, but it simply didn’t do anything.

Also found this topic: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/punbb-bbpress/

But I don’t know how to “run” the script. If it would work at all, it’s five years old.

Your advice?

Hi, Im real new to wordpress and bbpress. I have a similar issue with the bbpress sidebar not showing up. I have my forum page setup as a static page and would like to have a sidebar to login etc… can you help?

With BWM the fancy wordpress editor breaks for me – you are unable to switch between visual and text modes.

Versions:

Better WordPress Minify 1.2.2
bbPress 2.3.2
bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab 1.0.0
GD bbPress Tools 1.4
buddypress 1.7.3 (not relevent I think)

I’ve no idea how to debug this but can post more – does anyone have a fix/workaround?

good news!

It’s possible that your theme has a bbpress.css file which is overriding whatever you’re putting in the default file. Regardless, you should be editing the file that’s in your theme’s directory, which would look similar to:

webroot / wp-content / themes / yourtheme / css / bbpress.css

If the file isn’t in there or you don’t have that folder in your theme, copy and paste the file over.

Also make sure you’re hard refreshing your browser to clear its cache, after making your changes (hold CTRL then press f5 on your keyboard, or press the browser’s refresh button a couple of times).

Hi Tecca,

That didnt work. changing this codes doesnt reflect any changes on my forums page. in my Godaddy account i am changing this under

webroot / wp-content / plugins / bbpress / templates / default / css / bbpress.css

if you think am editing wrong file please let me know.

[Tecca]

In your bbpress.css file, change the background of each of these:

.entry-title {
background: red;
}

#bbpress-forums div.odd,
#bbpress-forums ul.odd {
background: yellow;
}

#bbpress-forums div.even,
#bbpress-forums ul.even {
background: green;
}

Just change those color names to hex codes to make them look a bit better.

I want my forums here (http://jump2health.com/forums) to get color, I want odd posts to be green in color and even pots to be yellow in color and I want header which says Forums/Discussions to be red which file i need to change and what to change.

I edited bbpress.css file but no changes are reflected on the page. I am not sure who to do this please help.

I am also trying to get rid of the message “Your account has the ability to post unrestricted HTML content.” You said “You enabled that setting, disable that setting and the message goes away!” but I cannot see where to enable/disable that setting.

Please advise!

These two are in need of a serious overhaul and I lack the skills to do it. Please read this text and let me know if you agree or if I’m looking for something nobody else needs?

Lets look at the recent replies widget:
If I have the widget show the last 10 replies, and the last 10 replies happened to be on the same topic, you only see that one topic, everything else is drowned out.
The good thing is, if I click on a reply, I jump straight to that reply, not to the beginning of the topic.

Lets look at the recent topics widget:
Sorting by newest topics, this is pretty neat but I wish one could also show the specific forum with each recent topic shown. Clicking a topic sends you to the beginning of that particular topic, which is cool, after all its a new topic.

Now to get what I was looking for with regards to the recent replies, I am now using the recent topics widget but sorted by topics with recent replies. Except that it doesn’t list the latest poster but the thread creator and it links to the topic’s beginning and not to the latest reply.

I kinda feel we had a lot more power, plugins and extensibility with the old bbpress before version 2 came along.

Unfortunately, I’m not a coder so I can either wait until someone helps out or move to another solution.

Any thoughts?

[dvclmn]

Thanks for the reply, JJJ!

Really appreciate your time. I successfully uploaded my entire vB database into phpmyadmin on my server (dvclmn.com).

However I input all my details and unfortunately it still gave me ‘no forums to convert…’ etc.

To be honest I’m sure it’s just a matter of having input a small detail wrong; there’s just so many areas to make an error in!

Perhaps I could get clarification on each field, just to eliminate these areas.

Select Platform
Easy, that’s vBulletin.

Database Server
I am now trying to import from a database on the same server as the bbpress installation. Does this mean I use a) localhost b) my dedicated IP address or c) dvclmn.com OR http://www.dvclmn.com OR http://dvclmn.com?

Database Port
My server uses Apache, so it’s likely this is 3306; is there a way to find out for sure?

Database Name
Is it important to include the server username extension here? So username_database_name? Or is just database_name fine? (in this case it is [username]_anotherc_vb).

Database User
I have seen the option between username@localhost OR username@dvclmn.com OR just username. Which is going to work?

Database Password
Got that nailed haha

Table Prefix
I have just been enter vb_, as all the tables in the database look like this: “vb_access” and “vb_action” etc.

Have been keeping the Rows & Delay Time at their defaults, and selecting Convert Users (and sometimes Start Over & Purge for good measure).

I hope this is enough information for you. It is imperative I can get this working ASAP, as I mentioned before I am happy to pay for premium support if need be. Just need this to work.

Thanks,

Dave.

@baldg0at
Your code does not work in functions.php
It returns all the WP posts, not bbpress posts ;(
Please help!

[John James Jacoby]

It’s likely that the database server for your vBulletin installation isn’t configured to accept external requests from the database server you’re using for bbPress. You may want to export your vBulletin database, and import it into your bbPress database, and do the conversion locally to avoid connection issues.

Hi,
i getting an error in WordPress
Notice: bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly. The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init(). Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 2.3.) in /var/www/vhosts/xxxxx/httpdocs/wp-includes/functions.php on line 2962

How can this be fixed?

[rickyprueba]

[filmmannen]

This solved itself partly when I removed the User Role Editor and replaced it with the plugin Members – then i where able to administer the administrators rights. And i where able to get the bbpress updated to the newest edition without loosing control over it.

However im still unable to restore my topics and replies list in the forum. I have three .xml backups of the forum, the topics and the replies, but i struggle with getting them back up again.

And it may be that the .xml files isn’t enough?

Anyone know of a good .xml importer for the bbpress? To get my forums back online, or is this case lost?

[dvclmn]

Hey guys, thanks for taking the time to look after this.

I know there are a lot of posts dedicated to vBulletin import issues, but after hours of searching I haven’t been able to find a resolution. Hoping you can help!

I have read the known issues page (http://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/vbulletin/) thoroughly and have made sure every detail is correct:

Selected Platform: vBulletin
Database Server: IP or hostname (in my case another-castle.com)
Database Port Use default 3306 if unsure
Database Name Name of the database with your old forum data
Database User User for your database connection
Database Password Password to access the database
Table Prefix (in my case vb_)

I just get ‘no forums/users/etc to convert’.

No data is imported.

I know that you can’t know if I’m getting a password or username wrong, but I am using the details I use to successfully log in to my server/phpMyadmin etc.

I am in such urgent need of this to work that I am happy to pay for further support – whatever it takes. Please let me know if there’s any more information I can give to help this along.

Thanks so much.

Dave.

[soloacademy]

anyone?

[Lynq]

You can check here for accessibility guidelines: http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG/ – I would then install a copy of bbPress and check if it suits your needs based on the guidelines from w3.

Good luck!

[Lynq]

You will have to disable your plugins one at a time to see which one is causing the issue or check if you have a correct bbPress theme inside your theme folder.

Good luck!
