Michael,

There is a Simple Machines package called BlogBridger, which allows you to migrate Simple Machines users to WordPress. I’ve not used it specifically to migrate users, but I’ve used it to sync logins between SMF and WP and it will create the WP account based on the SMF login, which sounds like what you want.

As I recall it took a little tweaking to get it to work properly with the latest SMF, but it wasn’t hard. Certainly worth you taking a look.

I’m trying to add a Twitter share button in the loop-single-reply.php so the button appears before each reply’s content:

…….
<?php do_action( ‘bbp_theme_before_reply_content’ ); ?>
**** [HERE the twitter share button code] *****
<?php bbp_reply_content(); ?>
……….

using the Twitter data-url parameter as: data-counturl=”<?php echo bbp_get_reply_url(); ?>

PROBLEM=SHARE WORKS+COUNTER DOESN’T: The button is sharing the page but not COUNTING. I tried to check everything around the twitter button, but I want to ask for your help in case the place and data-counturl is not correct for BBPRESS.

Please help!

Thanks
Ramiro.

Almost 2 weeks and no BBPress support – Its a real pity support is so useless for such a great plugin – Come on make a difference support guys – Hello ?????

[CraigM1970]

Hi, I’m using WordPress 3.5 with Buddypress 1.6.2, and BBPress 2.2.3 for site-wide forums. I don’t have any groups or group forums – all forums and topics are site-wide.

This may be a bug, but I thought I’d ask here first. A couple of topics have now reached 1001 posts / 21 pages. For those topics, and those topics alone, in the activity stream and in the recent posts widget the links to the posts are incorrect. They drop the /page/21/ part of the URL so people are taken to the first page of the topic when they click them. All links and all other topics still work fine. The problem is limited to topics with over 20 pages/1001 comments

The link is being written in the database that way, without /page/21/, when the reply is created.

Any ideas? Is there some sort of limit re topic replies that the function creating the link can’t handle? I’m just not sure where to start looking.

I read the thread that I believed solved this issue in an earlier version, but I attempted to follow all the steps and was not able to get it to work, so I apologize for the repeat thread.

I am using the bbPress Login widget to allow my users to login to the site and forum and am using the bbPress registration form to create new users.

I do have BuddyPress installed, but not using it’s registration or activation functionality.

I would like to change the URL that is sent along with the username and auto generated password so that my users can login to the site.

I looked into modifying the functions.bb-users.php file, but I am getting NO effect when I change the bb_get_uri( null, null, BB_URI_CONTEXT_TEXT ) to my homepage or bloginfo(‘siteurl’)

I am working with bbPress Version 2.3.2

In the “Dashboard” i can see the “Forum dashboard”
But when i go to “/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=forum” i got “Cheatin’ uh?” …

[Shmoo]

Sorry, I need to close a few Tabs in my editor because I was looking inside the wrong template.

This gets the login form.
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'user-login' ); ?>

And of course that file is located where it should be:

wp-content / plugins / bbpress / templates / default / bbpress / form-user-login.php

Duh, stupid me!

[Shmoo]

Just curious,

When I sneakpeak in the ShortCode section I notice you can call the login form by.

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'topic' ); ?>

This works great inside my templates and the bbPress login form pop’s up where I need him to be.

But now I need to add some classes for CSS reasons and I wandering where I can find the code-snippet of the default form used.

Are you able to profile your site (probably using the Debug Bar plugin) to get more information on what queries are running slowly? According to your other topic, it sounds like some other plugins were the culprit.

If you’d like to help improve the forum, view, and topic-index queries, we have this ticket open for bbPress 2.5: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1925

[John James Jacoby]

This is the problem with open-source software… complete lack of support. At least with YaBB the people were passionate enough about their project to answer questions.

Howdy. Not sure where in the world you live, but in America, this was a holiday weekend, and most of us chose to be with our families. Also, last night was WordPress’s 10 year anniversary, and many of us were celebrating with our colleagues.

That said, our forum staff are volunteers and not under any obligation to assist, just like you weren’t obligated to post your reply on how you solved the issue. Scolding them for not being around won’t motivate them to help you (or anyone else) any faster.

…bbPress String Swap…

David Decker keeps an eye on these forums, and would likely be open to feedback on how to improve this plugin. It’s only filtering words on output, so if it’s inefficient, it’s probably an easy’ish fix.

Thanks for posting your experiences, and thanks for the feedback.

[Shmoo]

First of all you should go to this location:

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

Copy-/Paste the bbpress.css file into your Theme’s folder.

Like so:

wp-content / themes / [ your-theme-name ] / css / bbpress.css

When there is none css folder inside you theme folder just create one.
What you’ve done right now is created you’re own custom stylesheet for bbPress that can’t be overwritten by software updates.

What styles you have to change I can’t tell from looking at your picture, but it’s pretty easy to find them.
Make sure you have a Webkit browser installed on your computer ( Google Chrome is reallt the best for this ). View your website and right-mouse-click on the element you would like to change and pick the option ” Inspect Element ” ( I think it’s called )

Now you have at the bottom all the style , there’s also a location + line number where to find the elements inside your bbpress.css file.

Look at this video for some instructions.

It’s not that difficult.

fasle alarm. Turns out, when unzipping. “Tehnik-bbPress-Permissions-master” is the folder you will see. In my haste, I uploaded that and didn’t realize that “tehnik-bbpress-permissions” was actually inside. Oddly, the meta box that restricts acces to forums, still showed up – just didn’t do anything.

[Ravi Kasarla]

I have installed the bbpress latest version 2.3.2 and added the bbpress forum search widget in side bar.

When i used to search the forums, I am always getting the below error message as search result.

“Sorry, but nothing matched your search criteria. Please try again with some different keywords.”

I tried with “http://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-search-widget/&#8221; and “http://wordpress.org/plugins/search-bbpress/&#8221; plug-ins but the result is same.

Please suggest the solution to overcome this issue.

[ZachMatthews]

I ran the P3 Plugin Profiler and figured out that the plug in WP User Frontend and bbPress String Swap were the ones killing us.

Once I disabled those, query times to reach a new page dropped from 6-8 seconds down to less than a second.

This is what my host is saying:

Is that really true? My host (JaguarPC) loves to use the term “unoptimized” when they can’t understand what is going on.

Hey all, i run this site, and im determined that it should all be ran by wordpress, its all going great etc. But, as soon as i installed my forum, i see that it uses this ugly style, with background color etc.

What id really like is no shadow on the text, no background, small border around the different forums and thats pretty much it.

Heres before: http://puu.sh/32WkF.png
Heres how i want it to be: http://puu.sh/32Wpf.png

I hope you understand my problem :/
Ive read this http://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-creating-a-custom-bbpress-theme/ but i cant seem to find the necessary files.

I hope you can help me out 🙂

Well, I managed to get the Dashboard item back up via the first 5 bullet points of
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/missing-forums-directory/ .

But we’re still unable to render the actual forums anymore, e.g. from the forums’ “View” links, or /forums/forum. Just blank white pages, maybe the occasional 404. For that, we tried just moving to Mingle forum, but it doesn’t have subcategories (or even let you move forums between categories), so that’s a no-go. So, we’re still interested in fixing bbPress’s other issues…

[koolthing]

Hi, I’m thinking get rid of vbulletin and looking to switch to bbpress. Is there a converter for this? and if there is a converter, this converter successfully convert everything? I mean, users, topics, posts, passwords, forum permissions.

thanks in advance.

[Shmoo]

Go to the next path.

wp-content / plugins / bbpress / templates / default / bbpress / content-archive-forum.php

Copy the BOLD file into your Theme folder inside a new folder called [ bbpress ]

Like this:

wp-content / themes / [ your-theme-name ] / bbpress / content-archive-forum.php

Open the new ‘ content-archive-forum.php ‘ file and remove the following lines of code and save the changes.

<div class="bbp-search-form">

	<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'search' ); ?>

</div>

[Shmoo]

You can find the Widgets of bbPress right here.

wp-content / plugins / bbpress / includes / common / widgets.php

Thats the file you need to have. By default I don’t think you can drag your Widget-code out of there and start using it inside any other WP project. You probably have to add and redesign it to make it work.

[capsx]

the same here – Forum menu is disappeared …

[BlackLotuss]

Hello!

I’ll be direct here and get to the point, I did not like bbpress so I do not use it for forum purposes. Now the only thing I find really usefully is the login widget it comes with, so I was wandering if there is a way to just have this login widget installed as a separate plugin, since having bbpress installed just for this one thing is kind of an overkill.

Cheeers

[Shmoo]

The first block goes inside your functions.php i guess,

And all others you have to add where to show – inside your template files. example loop-single-forum.php

That fie can be found in your bbpress plugins directory.
wp-content / bbpress / templates / defaults / bbpress / ** here **

Don’t edit files from the bbpress folder inside your plugins folder because those will be overwritten when bbPress updates.
Just copy files that you need to edit towards your theme folder just like this:

wp-content / themes / [ your theme name ] / bbpress / ** here **

[jeteran]

Hey thanks for your response.

Yes I have being trying disabling other plugins and still doesn’t work.

I don’t know if reinstall it should work. Let’s wait for someone that had this issue to help us.

Have a great week.
