1. can more than 110 000 users be imported

This should not be a problem.

2. My website runs a specific version of phpbb SEO for allowing permalinks for every forum – will this be imported ? (so that there is not a lot of redirect)

No, these will NOT be imported and you will need to manually set your permalinks and make some redirects using .htaccess

3. My website stores custom profile fields for every user (more than just ICQ, but also custom ones). How could I have the same kind of functionalities using bbpress ?

Currently when importing from phpBB we are importing and storing the default phpBB user fields as outlined here. You could modify the import script to include any of your custom user profile fields so they also get stored in wp_usermeta.

After that you would need to find a WordPress plugin that supports extended user profile fields to utilize that data. I am not sure of any specific plugin that can really do that out of the box with bbPress at the moment but at least you ‘would’ have all of your users advanced profile data stored.

4. What about performance – will it be better than phpbb. I know bbpress is very powerful for small forums, but I have no idea regarding huge ones. Can wp caching plugins work for bbpress as well ?

There are some large sites running bbPress and I would suggest you setup a test site to see how it works for yourself personally.

As to caching it appears that ‘WP Super Cache’and ‘W3 Total Cache’ do not work well with bbPress as discussed in this topic though there is ‘Lite Cache’ which appears to work with bbPress as per this topic.

5. Is the entire UI translated in French – it doesn’t seem to me, but maybe I’m wrong.

The current status of the French translation is at 11% translated with 879 strings untranslated though 734 of those strings have been translated and are waiting for the fr_FR translation validator to validate the translations.

6. Can I use any plugins writter for wp for bbpress ?

I am not sure what you mean for this question

Any more questions please ask away…

[Stephen Edgar]

Can you please create a ticket in trac and we can test this and find a fix:

[Stephen Edgar]

The strings you mention from what I can see are all currently able to be translated.

I am installing a bbPress (2.3.2) forum on a WordPress (3.5.1) and I simply need to make my “reply” and “submit” buttons bigger, so they stand out. I am a newbie to WordPress and am sure this is an easy fix.If somebody could please point me in the right direction.

I have a members only area on my website, and this is where the bbPress forums are (will be) located. Is there a way to have all forum pages have the “member area” page as a parent?

[Alexander Bell]

I was wondering the same thing. I can’t figure out how to add bbPress to the main navigation in WordPress. I would prefer to not have to create a custom menu just for that.

Hi.

I am having the blank page issue. I tried adding a shortcode to it, but it stayed blank.

I am using Widezine theme with a BBpress Child theme.

website: westcoastnomads.com

Can someone help, please?

I’m a coding newbie, so please dumb it down. 🙂

The previous version of bbPress used the WordPress array of allowed tags. This meant when you installed a TinyMCE plugin for WordPress it also worked in bbPress.

We changed that now, which is why your plugin doesn’t work. bbPress now has it’s own allowed tags setting and doesn’t necessarily use what WordPress is using.

While it breaks some implementations (such as the plugin you’re using), in the long run it was the way to go. Now bbPress and WordPress can have different tag settings, before they were stuck using the same, which in some cases would be a huge problem.

You need to whitelist any tags your uses will be using via the filter mentioned above. That will fix the issue you’re having.

Before the upgrade I was using a TinyMCE plugin on my forum that was recommended by other BBpress users.

Using that, the members could post videos and change font colour etc via the visual editor, but since the upgrade, when they do this, it just shows the html code and doesn’t display well.

Is there any way to fix this? it’s highly frustrating as it was working perfectly before this upgrade.

Thanks! 🙂

My theme uses index.php in the main directory for most pages, by the way. (In other words, my theme does not have page.php, single.php, etc.) So you can sorta see what happened, it got overridden as in a subtheme.

[kitchin]

I added a bbpress subdirectory to my theme and got a blank screen. I was using a “silence is golden” index.php file in the subdir and removing that fixed it. I guess the subdir acts as a subtheme or something (though it has no style.css file).

Interesting thing is I could also fix it by dropping in the files from plugins/bbpress/templates/default/extras to my main theme directory, following the instructions here: `http://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

Posting this in case it helps anyone else.

bbpress 2.3.2 and WordPress 3.5.1. Link to site.

Hello,

I have a multi-site set up and a problem with users automatically being added to other blogs (sub-sites) on their network. Upon visiting a sub-site, the user gets assigned a “participant” role. This is then shown in their “My Sites” drop down in their Admin bar.

In the forum “settings”, there is a check box with this next to it:

Automatically assign default role to new, registered users upon visiting the site.

I have toggled this off and on several times, in the hope that it would fix my problem. It doesn’t.

Please help: why is my multi-site installation still adding users (“participants”) to every sub-site they visit?

Thank you.
Sonny

As of ~2.3, the “allowed tags” are filterable within bbPress.

Look for the filter bbp_kses_allowed_tags. It’s in includes/common/formatting.php.

[mogu]

Hi there, im moving from bbpress1.1 to bbpress 2.3, into a wordpress multisite environment.
I already import all data, i can see it in mysql.
Also, i can see the topics in the site admin dashboard (Topics->All Topics).
The issue is that i cant see the actual topic/post, if i click on view | edit, it always send me to a 404 error page.

How do I debug this?

Best regards

I’m wondering how I can make the 14×14 avatar images that are in the loop of topics on a forum landing page. I know I could just go into loop-single-topic.php and change the 'size' => 14. But I’m wondering if/how I could use an add_filter? in my functions.php (so it’s not blown away with an update) to make this change.

I have a pretty basic understanding of add_filter but I’m not able to figure out how to get this working. Any help is appreciated

[Jared Atchison]

There is a bbPress signature plugin. Search the WordPress.org plugin repository and you should find it.

[tharsheblows]

Ah, ok, I understand what you want (I think). I have a page like that where I use the [all-recent-topics] shortcode : https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/ . I’m going to try using it in a text widget* but when that doesn’t look like I want, will copy / paste / edit and make a new shortcode to use. (I like shortcodes.) I’ll probably get to it sometime this week and can post it if you’d like, with the caveat that you’ll need to adjust the styling for your site.

*if you want to use shortcodes in text widgets add

// Use shortcodes in text widgets.
	 add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');

to your functions.php file.

After much soul Google searching, I finally came across this good explanation of how to display the lastest x amount of posts.

Hi !

I have a few problems on my forum, maybe you can help :

#1 – I cant hide the sidebars : http://creativepixels.fr/bbpress/
#2 – the subscription, members & activity pages are too large : http://creativepixels.fr/membres/

Thanks !

Any news?I’ve managed to solve the issue at version 2.3.1 but now i’m experiencing the same problem again at the latest version

[renai42]

hi everyone,

I didn’t used to have this problem, but upon upgrading to bbPress 2.3.2, it manifested. The [bbp-topic-form] shortcode now no longer allows un-privileged users to post. Seems like this bug hasn’t been fixed.

Is there any update to this situation?

Kind regards,

Renai

[vivianag4]

My dashboard:

I installed the buddypress plugin first and then, the bbpress plugin.

The “forums” option doesn´t display in my dashboard.

Thanks for any help

[Cartographer]

Hi,

Sorry for replying to myself, but I would like to give a last try before my topic will be lost 🙂

Anyone can answer the answers above?

Thank you again!

[TrishaM]

Thanks fontadoni – I was at 1.0.2 so I’ll give those instructions a shot. I appreciate your response!

[jhai]

I came across your post while searching for a solution to the same issue. Also found this suggestion from a year ago and gave it a try: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-remove-avatar-from-do_action-bbp_template_notices-in-bbpress-2-0/#post-110255

It worked! Here’s what I added to the BBPress stylesheet:

.avatar-14 {
	display: none;
}

Hope this helps.
