Hi,
I have many questions before migrating from phpbb to bbpress.
My forum for educators is very popular, and I need to have information before trying to move from phpbb to bbpress.
1. can more than 110 000 users be imported
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)
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 ?
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 ?
5. Is the entire UI translated in French – it doesn’t seem to me, but maybe I’m wrong.
6. Can I use any plugins writter for wp for bbpress ?
Thanks for your help,
Benjamin
I looked into the child theme route but couldn’t quite achieve what I was after on my own. Are you interested in some freelance work? You can send an e-mail to contact at jmonkeyengine.org if you’re interested.
I have another (small this time) tweak inquiry for ya as well: How can I make the forum always 1-column? I’m talking about the way you move the right-side profile section centered above the post content on narrow screens. I’d like that to be the case even on wider displays.
Any other have this problem? it works with 2.2.x
Word Press 3.5.1
bbPress 2.3

We’ll be checking out those improvements to code posting now.
Unfortunately this is still an issue, and I’ve reopened the relevant ticket:

i used this debugging code:
`ini_set(‘display_errors’, ‘On’);
error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT);`
when i insert the debugging code
i get these errors:
`Strict Standards: Only variables should be assigned by reference in /home/content/26/10349326/html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbpress.php on line 845

awesome! i have finally found the file with that function in it
but when i check the file for php code errors i get
`There is 1 array declaration that contain a single equal sign ‘=’ instead of ‘=>’:
array(), $cap = ”, $user_id = 0, $args = array() ) { switch ( $cap ) { case ‘spectate’ : case ‘participate’ : case ‘moderate’ : if ( bbp_is_user_inactive( $user_id ) ) { $caps = array( ‘do_not_allow’ );`
i did not alter the file in no way, i was about to insert the debugging code, so i said i would check the file for php code arrors…
the name of the file is “Edit capabilities.php”
Thank you for the thread as I was running into the same issues. This really needs to be stickied cause I think a lot of people who use that plugin will run into this
The current version of the Spam Destroyer plugin is not compatible with bbPress. I have prepared a beta version which seems to work well though. It doesn’t stop huge amounts of spam but I’m using it myself and it seems to be blocking about 99% of it.

I know view your post and threads is available in IP, VB. PHPBB
but i was wondering if this Is possible in bbPress ?
if so how to view all your posts / topics in bbpress
It works with the other themes, not this theme and I cant change theme either. Its not a plugin because when I switch theme using the same plugins activated it works.
Hi,
I’ve installed on my WP 3.5.1, Buddypress 1.7 and bbpress 2.3. I configured bbpress to be used inside group so as Group Forum.
But the breadcrumb doesn’t show up if I call the function bbp_breadcrumb();
I only want that a user if goes inside a topic, the breadcrumb will show something like this
`Main Forum Name >> Topic Name`
how should I do?
thanks
I am experiencing a regular flow of php warnings with bbPess 2.3 here are some examples:
`Apr 15, 18:44:09 PHP Warning: Illegal offset type in /home/waterway/public_html/alrewasplan.co.uk/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/functions.php on line 1503

I tried all suggestions from this thread and still not able to post new threads or replies except with a key master. moderator or participants can’t.
tried resetting the forum roles on my 2.3 bbpress isntall and all authors were made spectators. isn’t participant assigned to author?
ideally all users should be subscribers and participants. any further ideas how to fix broken permissions?
No, bbPress does NOT use comments for replies, bbPress replies, topics and forums use WordPress Custom Post Types.
Okay, not sure if this is the reason, but after your last reply a searched a little bit, found this ticket https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2070 and started to think that it’s a problem in the URL.
The only difference between XAMPP and MAMP (free) is that XAMPP uses “localhost” host name, while MAMP (free) uses “localhost:8888” when using MAMP ports by default (MAMP pro uses “localhost” that tell why it works OK with you). So I went to MAMP preferences and changed the ports settings to use default Apache and MySQL ports to use “localhost” instead of “localhost:8888”, and finally posting topics and replies is available again 🙂
Even better I setup a virtual hostname manually in MAMP (free) and the everything works fine.
I hope this will help others with the same issue with MAMP (free). Thanks for your time @johnjamesjacoby and @netweb, great work and keep it up.
@kraigg:
same problem here, none of my users except key masters can post or reply. I have been using User Role Editor in the past, any advice on how you fixed your problem?
Excellent, glad we have some progress, now to hope that bbPress Moderation plugin will get an update soon.
p.s. I also changed this topic title to include bbPress Moderation Plugin.
Are you using the latest bbPress 2.3?
What version of vBulletin are you using? I have only tested vBulletin 4.x
Here is the list of known issues with vBulletin https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/vBulletin/
Can you update to the newly released bbPress 2.3 and let us know if the problem persists.
Jump back in time to bbPress 2.1 Twenty Ten templates, they specifically used tables for forums, topics & replies. You want to have a close look at the loop-*.php templates.

Yeah, deactivating bbPress Moderation plugin solved the entire problem – Thanks a lot!
I don’t know of any bbPress specific plugin that can do this but there might be one that does something similar for standard WordPress Users/Subscribers/Authors etc.
I suggest having a search of WordPress Extend and if your in luck such a plugin may exist and may even work with bbPress.
