This didn’t work. I went to tools > export, selected forums, exported it, did the same with replies and topics. If I select posts, it will export the blog posts.
Some of the forum info shows up like, forums and sub forums and sticky posts. In the sidebar widget it is showing forum topics, and I can go to them, but in the actual forum, it’s empty besides the sticky posts.

WP 3.5.1 / bbpress 2.3.2 / PHP5.4.14 / IIS 5.1 / WinXP SP3
Hello.
My WP site looks working well and I can post a blog entry or a comment.
After creating a topic on dashboard and subscriber tried to submit Reply, an error occuerred.
“HTTP 405 – Resource not allowed”
I googled around and found something about XML-RPC, but from WP3.5 it is already turned on in default.
I also checked my IIS settings and confirmed PHP is mapped to GET/HEAD/POST.
Any ideas to solve this?

Simple question. It’s possible to convert or export group forums to site wide forums??
Copy
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/content-archive-forum.php
to
wp-content/themes/[your-theme]/bbpress/content-archive-forum.php.
Edit as you see fit. You’ll likely want to place whatever before <div id="bbpress-forums">.
You can copy any template elements that you want/need to change to a bbpress folder inside your theme and bbPress will automagically use those template files instead of the default ones.
Hello!
I’ve been having this problem for so long I didn’t really notice it until some members on my site complained about it. Apparently, my forums page’s load time is quite long when you’re loading mysite.com/forums. I have buddypress running and I’m not able to configure my wordpress page to buddypress forums, I guess since bbpress is running. Everything is updated to the highest update. My breadcrumbs directly links most of my pages to the forum index; is there a way to have my page not redirect to itself?
I have exactly the same question. Al my pages start with my header, precontent with page-title and then page-content. BBpress only repeats my header and not the page-title. I also want some intro tekst on the page-content before the forum starts. Does anyone know which bbpress php file i should edit? Or, and this would be easier, is there a way in which i can load a forum in a page?
Would be really nice if someone knows
Thanks!
Great thanks, i never even thought of using the import/export options.
Is there any way to clean up the original sites database after moving the forums? Looks like forum information is within the WordPress tables instead of its own wpbb_ whatever tables, I don’t know much about databases so I could be wrong.
Hum sorry, must’ve gone into the spamfolder. I tested it myself and it works. Aw well, I sent you an e-mail via your contact form, cheers.
I actually cleared all the blocked words and words for moderation and increased the amount of links in a post before moving to pending to 10 (this hardly ever happens from my users) and I am still getting pending posts. more info here.
Participant-created topics set to "Pending" upon creation
I am also facing this problem. At first I thought it was the various programs I had to deal with spam and general bad behaviour (akismet, wanguard and sucuri) but I disabled all the plugins and I also increased the amount of links in a post to 10 before it gets moved to pending in discussion settings. All settings for discussion have removed any need for moving posts to pending or marked for approval. Settings for akismet are unchecked in forums settings and comments blacklist and moderation list have empty fields. Topics or replies should not be going to pending but they are still going to pending and this is destroying my community. There is no message to the user saying that his reply or topic is awaiting moderation (unlike the OP) and the user continues to edit his topic or reply and post again which also ends up in the pending queue and then I have a load of the same topic edited in the pending queue.
Whatever is causing this is inside bbpress core. I need to know which setting to disable to ensure no topic or reply goes to pending. Yes I know the risks, this is another issue. Can anyone please tell me how to stop this happening. which files in bbpress do I have to edit.

I sent you a mail yesterday but didnt get any answer.
You can send a personal message from http://unsalkorkmaz.com/iletisim/ or to e-mail adress at the bottom of this page
Yes
Just set up the new area, and add the bbpress plugin
Then export (dashboard>tools>export) from the old area – you’ll want post and forums as minimum, but you can take everything if you want.
Then import into the new area. You will need to install the wordpress importer, but that is part of the process, so just say yes when prompted.
Part of the import process will ask you who to assign imported posts to, and you can decide to allocate them to admin, an existing user in the new site or (if you exported everything) to the imported users.
Hi,
We’re looking for a forum to support higher education. Hopefully someone can answer this quick question – I couldn’t easily see the answer in the features page.
Is there a page in bbpress (admin or otherwise) that shows you all the forum posts an individual has made?
I’d be surprised if not, but just checking.
Many thanks,

Is it possible to move bbPress to another (new) WordPress install and keep all existing posts and forum content? I don’t care about users, I just want to keep the information on the forums.
Anyone know anything about this yet? I’m using bbPress in conjunction with Buddypress, but even when groups are creating private forums, all logged in users have access. Is there anyway to assign certain forums as accessible by certain groups only?
Thanks in advance,
Kal
The [bbp-topic-tags] shortcode works fine in my custom theme…but all the tags come out with the same font size. How do I get it so the tags display with different font sizes like on this forum?
Sorry for such a basic question…I’ve looked but can’t find an answer that applies to bbpress 2.0+.
I’m using wordpress 3.5.1 and bbpress 2.3.2
Thanks.
Good question. bbPress uses roles in a different way than BuddyPress does. BuddyPress does not have custom user roles the way WordPress and bbPress do. Instead, right now roles are just a way to identify what user’s have what position in the group member hierarchy: admin, moderator, member, banned, etc…
Which is to say, one does not directly effect the other in any real way.
Is something wrong with the code tags here that you’re unable to use them? I’m having a hard time following exactly what to do to duplicate the issue you’re having.
I’ve tried each permutation of posting code and swapping between editors, and it appears to work correctly for me in what is now bbPress 2.3.2. I’ve also synced up dev trunk with deploy trunk, so the beta tester plugin should have the most recent changes in it too.
(Keep in mind that the beta-tester plugin doesn’t grab the latest version directly from trunk; it gets what I merge into WordPress.org Extend’s trunk. This helps me keep what the beta-tester plugin gets stable, even though bbPress.org’s trunk might not me.)
Create a post in the visual editor it performs normally. Click “text” tab, and you see the tags as expected. Click the “visual” tab and again it appears normally.
Once POSTED, if you then attempt to edit it, you get the visual tab, and SEE the HTML tags. They are not however the actual tags, when you click the “text” tab you see they are actually & l t ; HTMLTAG & g t ;Whatever the text is& l t ;/HTMLTAG& g t ;
(I do believe that before 2.4-alpha that clicking the “text” tab would result in the same thing BEFORE posting, so it’s “semi” fixed)
WordPress 3.5.1

buddypress roles:http://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/group-settings-and-roles/
bbpress roles: http://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/
I have an understanding of the roles within each plugin, but when running both, how do they mingle? Since you can only assign someone to one role, what roles take precedent over the other?
For example if someone is an admin of buddypress, does that also make them a Keymaster? Or vise-versa?
Just need to know what role to assign a new user when they purchase a membership to my help forums. They would be either “members” (buddypress) or “participants” (bbpress).
It would be great if there was a tree structure diagram.
Current Setup:
Bbpress: Version 2.3.1
Buddypress: Version 1.7.1
WP: Version 3.5.1
Thank you!
Drop feedback about bbPress 2.3.2 here.
See the 2.3.2 milestone on Trac for changes.
What you want to do is tweak the bbPress CSS. However you don’t want to tweak the copy in the plugin because when you update it will get overriden. Here’s what you’ll want to do.
Copy:
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.css
to:
wp-content/themes/[YOUR-THEME]/css/bbpress.css
Then edit and make tweaks to the bbpress.css as needed to match your theme.
Hi
I love my new bbpress page but don’t know which files to edit to make it match my theme.
The link below shows everthing working fine but some pics and the submit button go under the sidebar…. where or how can i edit that?
I would also like to change the colour of my background and text
Thanks
We’ve just set up a website for the over 60s and part of it is downloading health information.
I need to capture their real name but also have a ‘user name’ which is then used for everything.
I’m using the latest version of bbPress but, despite looking hard, have no idea where to go next! Does anyone know of a plugin that will do what I need? Thanks.

Just installed the beta tester plug in and updated to v2.4-alpha and it did NOT fix this…
Can you include more(any) information on what you’re seeing? From my testing, it’s fixed in trunk and in the 2.3.2-alpha, and fixed here on bbPress.org also.
