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

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

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,
~Lincoln

Tried with the bbPress (Twenty Ten) Theme and the numbers & bullets show up.

Let’s see if it works on this forum:

1. Here is an ordered (numbered) list:

• And here is an unordered (bulleted) list

[nbquidditch]

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

[Stephen Edgar]

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.

[Stephen Edgar]

Thanks… Fixed 🙂

[Stephen Edgar]

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!

[CraccRoxx]

I’m using the newest versions of everything (wp, bbpress) but the forum index is showing up in what appears to be a preview box? Maybe? Not really sure whats going here. But any help would be greatly appreciated. I’ve left a link to an image that shows what i’m talking about.

s’il vous plaît contacter l’auteur du thème, et lui demander d’y remédier. ce n’est pas un bug bbPress, mais il peut y avoir incompatibilité.

Bonjour, Je viens d’installer bbpress sur le thème clubber  : http://themeforest.net/item/clubber-events-music-wordpress-theme/3427687

Quand je suis sur la page forums j’ai un message d’erreur : Warning: array_key_exists() expects parameter 2 to be array, boolean given in /homez.714/actumeta/www/wp-content/themes/clubber/includes/functions-layout.php on line 61

Comment faire pour corriger cela ?

 

Voici le site : http://actumetaltoulouse.fr/forums/

Please can someone help with answers to the couple of questions above. I think you would be helping a lot of people if we can figure out a good way to integrate WordPress SEO with the BBPress forums used within BuddyPress.

If you can help please, and I can then get this to work, I’ll post the result back again so others can benefit.

Many thanks.

I am currently creating my first wordpress theme. I want it to be compatible and work with bbpress, but i’m running into some snags.

First off, I would like the “fancy editor” or “visual editor” to be available to users replying to and creating forum topics. But the Visual editor does not work, you cannot click on its tab to switch to it, you are forced to use the html editor. I do have the fancy editor option enabled in the bbpress options.

When i activate the twenty ten theme the Fancy Editor works as intended. But not with my theme im developing.

Is the a theme option, or theme support I need to include in my functions.php to get the fancy editor to work?

Thanks.

They were all set to 0, but when I changed some other forums’ values, they started moving around. Thanks for this solution.

The bbPress Examples page – http://bbpress.org/about/examples/ – contains some broken links. Is there any way of removing these?

The links in question are:

http://www.taiwantalk.org/
http://metalwebonlineradio.com/cgi-sys/suspendedpage.cgi

Additionally, the following featured URL can’t be viewed unless the user pays a membership fee to the site:

http://devpress.com/forums

Finally, the link to the SWNK forums – http://www.swnk.org/forums/ – features in both the “Favourites” and the “Noteworthy” sections of the site. Shouldn’t it only appear in one of these sections?

Thanks in advance for any replies.
