How did you manage, the two path?

[iosqar]

Can you told us how can you solved your problem? I have the same prob.

thanks!

So I found a fix for my error. I downloaded the user role editor and found that all of my permissions had been changed for the subscriber. Changed them back to allow forum access and it’s been working just as before.

beta1 of 2.3 now allows image embedding.

[moebis]

He’s right, the new beta1 is looking good. You can also now embed images (notice the new icon, looks like a tree):

Some of this is going to change again in bbPress 2.3, so you may want to check out the beta.

I did read your problem. You can make the path the way you want in the settings. I moved from an old installation to a new one myself and faced the same thing. It proved to be quite easy.

Hello John and Jame

Hello Stephen Edgar

I want you to reply my query because I am the kind of guy who always go by logic and I am not able to find any logic how to resolve my issue. I know this is not proper thread to ask but I waited 2 days before I could post in this bbpress forum since they always deleted my post before now. In case I have only one topic in my profile so I am avoiding to write url in this thread not to disturb you guys 🙂

[anickers]

steilenhang@  Hello, I don’t think you paid close attention to my problem. If I set slug what will i get ? base to form ?? But It will be relative to /blog directory, wouldn’t be? Please understand problem I am not sticky guy but my problem is big daddy google already crawled the forum if I change the relative path I will get many issue in webmaster, I know one solution that I can use is url rewriting in .httaccess but i am damn sure bbpress group is not fool they might have thought of this issue and must have some better solution.  Please let me know  if I can keep still base url as /blog for my blog and /forum for my forum  , not /blog/forum

[steilenhang]

I would think that installing the latest bbPress, inporting data from the old one including users, deleting the old bbPress, and then changing the slugs in Settings -> Forums should do what you want.

Remember to always backup first.

Hello, I have very basic query and I want someone to reply me in detail.

 

Case study presented below followed by quarries.

 

I have a website called myhost.com( say) , with blog( word press  latest version , database on some abc.com with the name database1  and url http://www.myhost.com/blog) and forum (bbpress standalone version 1.0, database on some mnopq.com with the name database2  http://www.myhost.com/forum)  , Both form and blog  got  many posts so, its kinda hard to do any manual shift or modification in another word option for manual shift is closed.  Also it has all the way pages are crawled by search engine so can’t afford to change the url. Now I want to shift from standalone  version of bbpress to plugin version.  As it has problem with plugin, and maintaining the two things separately. Now please read my query

1. If I install the plugin I will have forum that I know. My problem is how to keep forum and blog url still same as I dn’t want many page “not found warning: in  google webmaster tool

2. When I tried I got forum and blog has link like   http://www.myhost.com/blog and http://www.myhost.com/blog/forum which I don’t want. I still want same url for every post in my forum not inside the blog directory.

3. It might be possible that blog and forum consists common users,  may be same email address or even same user name asthe  two blog and the forum having different databsae, if now I will import will it have problem in merging. Is there any way to get the union of two users from blog and forum

 

 

Please reply asap .

 

Thanks

 

[MJ]

Yeah. Its weird but they want a separate “forum” for a group so they would be like “special”. And since I can’t install two or more forums (on separate page/url) I installed another forum plugin.

[nely]

The problem was solved by adding in the css line “#bbpress-forums div.reply” additional parameter: “width: auto;”

[Net Bee]

Result :

Bbpress import 6,159 topic but phpbb3 have 6,312 = 97% recovery
bbpress import (27,670) replies but phpbb3 have 33,868 = 81% recovery
bbpress import 80 forums but phpbb3 have 90 = 88% recovery

over all 88% recovery

so can any one help me at least 95% data import from phpbb3 to bbpress ?

regards

[moebis]

I just installed the latest trunk of both to continue my testing. I like a lot of the improvements, but I’ve been discovering some bugs here and there. Not sure if this is the place to post it, but here it goes.

First off, the 2 work well together now, except when you try to mix the site-wide forums with group forums. If you click on a group and look at the forum tab, it shows posts from the next group-forum or site-wide forums. What I’m attempting to do is create groups, with a top-level forum for each group, and then sub-sitewide forums underneath, which I nest using the backend bbpress admin. These sub-forums don’t have a group all their own they just belong underneath and listed in forums top of the master group they are part of. It looks like this functionality is somewhat coded into the newest branch of buddypress 1.7 and bbpress 2.3, and if fixed it would be perfect. I know there is a plugin called buddypress group hierarchy or something, but it’s not really what I’m looking for, because it assumes I want full group buddypress functionality surrounding the sub-forums. I just want more granular control over the topics on each group.

@johnjamesjacoby – hear our plea. Allow us to create sub-forums in bbpress for the top-level forum in buddypress groups. When you click on the group, the sub-forums that belong to it will show underneath. When posting to the group forum, maybe even an option to move the topic to the top level group forum or sub-forums for the user? Just a thought. Thanks for all the great work on this, it’s getting much better now.

Sure let me try to phpBB importer , do you have any link for download the phpBB importer file (php file )? because i feel the phpbb importer file in bbpress have some issue thats why its not fetch all data from phpbb3 forum ,

Regards

[Stephen Edgar]

Stop using the SimplePress importer and start using the phpBB importer.

If you import using the phpBB importer your users can login to WordPress/bbPress using their existing username and password.

The only known issues with importing from phpBB are listed here (they are all very minor issues)
https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/phpbb/

If you have issues with the phpBB import then tell us what they are so we can fix them.

Try the steps I outlined above:

If it does continuously stop in the same position open phpMyAdmin and open the wp_options table and bump the value stored in _bbp_converter_start by 1 and click start again, if it fails again bump this value again.

If it hangs for 10 minutes, click ‘stop’, then click ‘start’ again it it should resume.

… phpbb3 data in simplepress and try to import it from bbpress

Why are you importing phpBB into SimplePress then into bbPress?

Why not just import phpBB directly into bbPress?
