just out of curiosity, does bbpress.org run anything like Wanguard, Stop Spammer Registrations Plugin, etc to deal w the bots that flood this site 4 times a day ?
i use wanguard on my much smaller bbpress site and it does an excellent job of keeping bots out, but i know this site sees way more traffic than mine…

Solved! And finally the import is just as awesome as promised. 🙂
Ok I managed to move a step forward, it seems on Media Temple you need to select their DB host. Anyway, now I get this one:
WordPress database error: [Table ‘db9999_DBNAME.bb_members’ doesn’t exist]
SELECT convert(members.member_id USING “utf8”) AS member_id,convert(members.members_pass_hash USING “utf8”) AS members_pass_hash,convert(members.members_pass_salt USING “utf8”) AS members_pass_salt,convert(members.name USING “utf8”) AS name,convert(members.email USING “utf8”) AS email,convert(members.joined USING “utf8”) AS joined FROM bb_members AS members LIMIT 0, 100
any clues?
Hi there folks!
This has been frustrating, my forum used to be an stand alone version 1.0.2
As suggested in another tread, I updated first to 1.2, that process went smoothly, so I thought I was close to victory, but so far it still eludes me!
Each time i try to import the old forums using the 2.2.4 forum import function with my DB Name, DB User, DB Pass, DB prefix (default bb_) , it runs the process smoothly saying there is no users to import, no forums to import and so on.
Is there a step I may be missing?
I uninstalled both and installed bbPress 2.3b2 and buddypress 1.7b2 and it seems to be working now.
I’m not sure what the issue is, but just for grins make sure you update to BuddyPress 1.7 beta 2 (just came out today), see if that may help.
If not then we have an issue to look into.
Hello!
I need a plugin to create related topics in topics, not in posts or pages.
My site is a Forum based in topics. The posts are redirected to topics using Page Links To plugin.
I tried Yet Another Related Posts Plugin but it does for post and pages only…
Does anyone know a plugin for this ??
I’m using WP 3.5.1 and BBpress 2.2.4.

Thanks!
I’ll start hanging out in #bbpress IRC a bit. I didn’t know there was one, I use IRC regularly anyway
Minor point: if a topic is moved from one forum to another, the freshness is not updated. So one can have links to the same topic from both the old and new forums.
This is only overwritten when a new post is made to the old forum (on a different topic, obviously)
2.2.4 with 3.5.1
I installed bbpress and would like to change the theme with a different bbpress theme. Is there a website that give clear instructions on how to do this?
I have installed bbpress into my website and would like to change the theme. Is there a guide for this? I found many themes online that look great but dont know how to use them.
it works yes, but not responsive. And feature to upload avatar, would make bbpress alot more aweseome… most people look for that when they try to edit their profile. and I’ll take your advice and comment on the ticket.
Thank you. So at this point, there’s no official bbPress upgrade to support both desktop and mobile versions.
I have bbpress installed on my site, when I log in with a test normal account (participant), and click on forum page, I just got 404 error.
I deactive all the plugins, and check one by one, finally I found this plugin caused this 404 error, okay, I found the problem, but I don’t know how to fix it 😀 I don’t want to deactive any more either forever.
Thank you in advance.
If you are using the patch in #1933 and you have any comments add them directly to the ticket using your same bbpress.org user/pass to login).
Avatar uploads are at this stage in plugin territory and there a few already that should work fine with bbPress.
Hi @joshua_ryan
unfortunatelly wordpress is not a good cms to manage users… i was in joomla a decided to move to wordpress… not a good move…
i didn´t solve the badges problem for bbpress…
Hey there! Did you ever find the answer to this?

bbp 2.2.4 , wp 3.5.1
I’m getting some very peculiar results with bbpress. I’ve got a forum setup and when someone replies it puts a duplicate post at the top of the page along with the reply at the bottom. I’ve been able to recreate it on my machine locally too. I’m using threaded replies and I changed the default order of the topic replies to “DESC” in the functions file. I’ve rolled back all of my changes and its still happening.
Also when I reply to a post it takes me to a new page which seems peculiar.
This is being worked on for bbPress 2.4 and there is already a work in progress patch
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1933
Sorry I haven’t replied until now… this has been on my to do list…
If you have IRC drop into #bbpress or #bbpress-dev on freenode when you can as a chat will be easier than post by post here….
Cool… I am trying to find what previos DB upgrades have been done pre and post 1.02 and 1.2.
Do you have IRC? If so jump into #bbpress-dev on FreeNode
First up presuming things might be easier than what is to follow, can you try again and fingers crossed in hope that error message was telling you the truth “… try again at a later time.” 😉
I am pretty sure if it fails it will be around 600 seconds as there is a `set_time_limit` value of 600 set in /bb-admin/includes/functions.bb-upgrade.php.
You could try to increase this value and if that works then we can skip all the direct MySQL hacking that will follow in the next posts…
