Hi guys,
I’m implementing fulltext search for my company’s forums site which is based on bbPress 2 (plugin version 2.2.4). I think I should start with the wp_posts_fulltext_search table (MYISAM engine) that’s intended by WordPress for fulltext search. However, this table is not updated whenever a bbPress forum topic/reply is created/updated/deleted. How should I handle this problem?
make a new page and add the register shortcode to that page, then add the url for that page to the widget
`[bbp-register]`
more shortcodes here

Sure… Drop me an email and I will have a look.
@netweb
I’m having a lot of trouble getting all the vbulletin issues resolved.
I’m hoping that you can personally help me so that we can assess the issue. I’ve made several reports across bbpress and buddypress but I guess I can’t exactly explain to them the problem it seems. Especially since the issue could be either bbpress or buddypress.
Could you help me get to the bottom of it so that I can at least figure out what to report on which trac?
I’ve tried the usual in my functions.php file and from my plugin but the columns aren’t being removed. Perhaps bbPress is loading after that function has run and therefore they’re not being unset?
`function edit_admin_columns($columns = array())
{
unset($columns[‘role’]);
unset($columns[‘bbp_user_role’]);
return $columns;
}
add_filter(‘manage_users_columns’, ‘edit_admin_columns’);
`
Anyone know how to do this?
I totally get the reason for the ‘entry level’ that can’t do anything.
I want to run a velvet rope community for like-minded creatives (I mod such a forum on a large, commercial forum but they’re having serious, probably existential difficulties) and I want to be able to review new applicants. This seems perfect for what I want. The new user registers, I get the notice, I check him out, I upgrade him to an active role.
I did have some difficulties finding the Forum User Role edit field (in the user profile edit UI) at first but everything seems fine, now.
Things seem to be falling into place nicely, now. (Particularly since I tumbled to the GD bbPress tools. The quote plugins I’d tried previously were getting hosed in the WYSIWYG editor. )
Okay, a little more information. It seems like there are 914 topics in the bb_topics table, and when i query for the last topic that was imported, I find it:
mysql> SELECT * FROM bb_topics WHERE topic_title like '%How get the original%' ORDER BY topic_start_time DESC;
+----------+---------------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------+--------------+-------------------+-------------------+------------------------+---------------------+---------------------+----------+--------------+------------+--------------------+--------------+-------------+-----------+
| topic_id | topic_title | topic_slug | topic_poster | topic_poster_name | topic_last_poster | topic_last_poster_name | topic_start_time | topic_time | forum_id | topic_status | topic_open | topic_last_post_id | topic_sticky | topic_posts | tag_count |
+----------+---------------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------+--------------+-------------------+-------------------+------------------------+---------------------+---------------------+----------+--------------+------------+--------------------+--------------+-------------+-----------+
| 914 | How get the original Request URI from JSF ? | how-get-the-original-request-uri-from-jsf | 650 | ceefour | 650 | ceefour | 2012-08-04 11:25:22 | 2012-08-04 19:27:20 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 3909 | 0 | 3 | 4 |
+----------+---------------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------+--------------+-------------------+-------------------+------------------------+---------------------+---------------------+----------+--------------+------------+--------------------+--------------+-------------+-----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
However, when I query for something else that should exist. One of the newer posts that was not imported: (http://ocpsoft.org/support/topic/get-encoded-url-in-filter) I come up with nothing:
mysql> SELECT * FROM bb_topics WHERE topic_title like '%get encoded%' ORDER BY topic_start_time DESC;
Empty set (0.00 sec)
mysql>
How is it that this topic clearly exists and shows up on the website, but it would not exist in the bb_topics table? Answering this seems like it would lead to the root cause of this migration problem.
Thanks again for all of your help,
Lincoln
Yikes, looks like you’re having some spam problems too. Got my site back up. Hit these URLs: (minus the FAIL part, that’s for the spambots)
My old forums are located here: http://FAILocpsoft.org/support/
My new forums are located here: http://FAILocpsoft.org/forums/ (for now)
Thanks,
Will try looking at the data by hand and seeing if there are any discrepancies.

Hallelujah! Thanks for the quick response, Stephen. I had finally gotten bbpress where I liked how it looked with my theme and was shocked when I found this one.
Can’t wait for the 2.3 final so my forums can go live!
Hey Stephen,
Thanks for the very quick reply.
You’re right, the site is apparently a tad unresponsive at the moment, even via SSH. It seems like I started suffereing a DDOS attack on both of my forum URLs since I posted here. I’m working with my provider to attempt to curtail this, but for now I’m a bit SoL. It seems like someone is probably scraping your forums to find vulnerable users.
More as I learn it..

I have the same problem- firefox only. On user profile pages Topics Started and Replies Created do not appear- only the title. I added this code from a bbPress forum (3 months, 3 weeks ago) to my WP style.css file:
.bbp-user-section {
overflow: auto;
}
and this code:
#bbpress-forums .bbp-user-section ul.bbp-topics {float: left !important;}
and both together and no change
I have spent time on the forums, but maybe there is a solution somewhere that I missed.
Thank You
WP 3.5.1

Good call – I just switched the current bbPress 1.2 plugin (I had to rename its folder it as the beta doesn’t update it. If you try a standard install it complains that a plugins/bbpress folder already exists).
Once over that hurdle, the problem of no numbers in the ordered lists and no bullets in the unordered lists is fixed.
I note that only bullets appear in this forum (numbers are replaced by bullets) so its seems this forum hasn’t upgraded to 2.3 yet!
It will be interesting to see what other features 2.3 brings.
Cheers
Will
I can’t get to your site at the moment for some reason…
Firstly did all of the topics import and you are just missing some replies?
(The importer should import all the topics first and then import the replies)
I would have a look at your webhosts support knowledge base for some tips on optimizing your bbPress 1.2 MySQL database… Ideally you want to ‘optimize’ and check the database ‘integrity’ with phpMyAdmin and fingers crossed that cleans things up a bit and allows for a full import.
After that if still no luck you will want to start digging around with phpMyAdmin and find the last post that was imported successfully then look at the next post after that to try and find if all the related database fields for that entry are valid for that post type (dates, post title, post data etc)
Another trick that mixes things up a bit would be to change the number of rows imported at a time from 100 to 10 or even 1 and you can get an idea of where things are stopping.
Try the 2.3 release candidate. It should work the way you want it to.
Hi Folks,
I know the last thing you want to hear is “yet another migration problem,” but I seem to be having a pretty pesky problem where the import stops with posts from about 8 months ago, and I’m not really sure why. No matter what I try, I can’t seem to get a clean/full import.
My old forums are located here: http://FAILocpsoft.org/support/
My new forums are located here: http://FAILocpsoft.org/forums/ (for now)
As you can see, the “freshest” post on the new forums is about 8 months old, but the import says everything was complete, and I’ve run all of the re-calculations (one at a time) as specified in your importer guide.
Any idea why it might be getting stuck here? What info can I give to help diagnose this?
Thanks, I know how frustrating migration issues can be, so I really appreciate any help you can give,

Tried with the bbPress (Twenty Ten) Theme and the numbers & bullets show up.
Let’s see if it works on this forum:
- Here is an ordered (numbered) list:
- And here is an unordered (bulleted) list
Have the same problem (i.e. numbers and bullets are stripped out of the display) and I am using
Atahualpa Theme and bbpress 2.2.4 and have the WordPress Fancy editor option switched on.
I tried the solution offered by @michaelhpdx but it didn’t work. Perhaps I put Michael’s in the wrong function.php? I put it in the function.php in bbpress/admin. I notice there also on in bbpress/common and perhaps it needs to go under the theme?
Regards
Will
Cool… Glad it worked for you 🙂
@Stephen Edgar and @jiapei100
Thanks very much for the work you have done on the Mingle convertor. It was also a useful tutorial to follow through the reconstruction of example.php to mingle.php.
I downloaded mingle.php and ftp’d it into the bbpress /converters folder, set the parameters and everything came across flawlessly. All I had to do was delete the imported_users as mine were already there compliments of WP_Members. A very satisfying process for which I am very grateful because while I was very happy with Mingle and the originator has been helpful, it was also becoming increasingly clear that he has moved onto to other ventures with the result that the support sites looks like it has been taken over by a user that is posting about bogus skins that are linked to ads.
Cheers

I am pretty sure this is fixed in bbPress 2.3 RC1
bbPress 2.3 – Release Candidate 1
Can you test your scenarion with 2.3 RC1 via the link above.
You need to upgrade your bbPress 1.02 to 1.2 first.
Once that part is completed then you setup WordPress with the bbPress 2.x plugin and import your bbPress 1.2 forums into bbPress 2.x.
You can use a widget in your sidebar https://codex.bbpress.org/widgets/
Or create a page with some shortcodes https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/
So I may have stumbled on an issue with bbpress 2.2.4, but here’s to hoping it’s just an error on my end. I tried searching the forums and was unable to find anything.
Currently using bbpress 2.2.4 on WP 3.5.1.
When I create a hidden forum, all is well and the forum is hidden from participant users. However, if a participant user goes to the profile page of an admin and clicks “Replies Created” they’re able to see all posts, including those in Hidden forums.
http://www.gizorama.com/forums/users/admin/replies/
Every post, hidden & unhidden, shows in the replies page. If viewing the forum as a participant, only post #8242 (Off Topic) should show, every other post is in a hidden forum.
Hello.
I want to have 2 forums on my site. One is a public and another is a private forum.
The private forum is going to be restricted to a determined user group.
Is it possible to do this with bbPress?
Thanks!
