Any update on this? I’m still not able to get the editor buttons to show…
I appear to have installed BBPress correctly. I see the Forums menu under the settings area.
But I don’t see the normal “Forums” menu where I can add new forums, etc. I also don’t see an option to make other Administrators a “keymaster” under their profiles. My Admin account is in position 1 of the Users table.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?
If you are going to use a plugin to hack the permalinks of bbPress, this is ‘that’ plugins support issue not a bbPress issue as permalinks in bbPress work as expected per design.
You would be far better of asking in the ‘Custom Post Type Permalinks’ support forum and even read some of those topics for similar issues.

Sent to u a link, hope it works
There are a couple of diff’s there but just missing ‘post_title’ should still import the replies.
If you could send me a link to download (FTP, Dropbox, whatever) the database i’ll take a look and try to get things working for both IPB 3.2 & 3.3.
‘Allo. I currently have an issue. I have a separate CSS document for each one of my pages. For my forum, I am using style-forum.css and it worked just fine. Then, I installed bbPress and reloaded my forum page. It seems to be pulling its styles from style.css rather than the aforementioned CSS document. I know I did it correctly because it was working just fine before I added bbPress as a plugin. But just to make sure, I deactivated bbPress and, sure enough, it began reading from style-forum.css again. How do I use bbPress with the correct CSS document? Thank you in advance!

If you need access to my database I can give it too you.
Can you open up myPhpAdmin on your webhost and open the IPB database and then the ‘posts’ table and paste the SQL structure for that table here.
The below is from IPB 3.2 and I am curious if there are any changes in 3.3, It should be similar to this:
`
1 pid
2 append_edit
3 edit_time
4 author_id
5 author_name
6 use_sig
7 use_emo
8 ip_address
9 post_date
10 icon_id
11 post
12 queued
13 topic_id
14 post_title
15 new_topic
16 edit_name
17 post_key
18 post_htmlstate
19 post_edit_reason
20 post_bwoptions
21 pdelete_time

Yes the error is yellow and I did run all of the repair tools
`SELECT convert(posts.pid USING “utf8”) AS pid,convert(posts.topic_id USING “utf8”) AS topic_id,convert(posts.ip_address USING “utf8”) AS ip_address,convert(posts.author_id USING “utf8”) AS author_id,convert(posts.post_title USING “utf8”) AS post_title,convert(posts.post USING “utf8”) AS post,convert(posts.post_date USING “utf8”) AS post_date,convert(posts.edit_time USING “utf8”) AS edit_time FROM posts AS posts WHERE posts.new_topic = 0 LIMIT 0, 100`
This error comes up right after it says “No replies to convert”
oK, I have got most of the way there.
I put this is to content-single-forum.php.
Needs finishing, and I think it may do better in header.php as it’s looking for ver specific URLs.
Can you create a bug ticket over at trac for this please
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/
O.M.G I have finally come across the solution to my problem! Well I have only tested it in my local environment a couple of times and the issue has gone away so hopefully it’s fixed for good!
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2155
The solution was to change the `bbp_redirect_to_field()` function. I changed this function located in bbpress\includes\common\template-tags.php and the redirects now work!
Thanks bbPress team =)
Modified function:
`function bbp_redirect_to_field( $redirect_to = ” ) {
// Make sure we are directing somewhere
if ( empty( $redirect_to ) ) {
if ( isset( $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’] ) ) {
$redirect_to = ( is_ssl() ? ‘https://’ : ‘http://’ ) . $_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’] . $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’];
} else {
$redirect_to = wp_get_referer();
}
}
// Remove loggedout query arg if it’s there
$redirect_to = (string) esc_attr( remove_query_arg( ‘loggedout’, $redirect_to ) );
$redirect_field = ”;
echo apply_filters( ‘bbp_redirect_to_field’, $redirect_field, $redirect_to );
}`
It should convert the replies as I am currently updating it with some ‘extra’ stuff.
Do you see an error displayed in the yellow status conversion window? If so what is it?
Did you run the ‘repair tools’ after importing to ‘recount’ all the things?
I found he solution for the white text in visual editor problem when using BBpress.
Go to your ftp and open public-html/wp-includes/css/editor.min.css ( I found it viewing my site’s source code)
You will see a whole bunch of code making it almost impossible to find the right part to change.
Call it a lucky guess but when i searched the word ‘white’ i only found 1 code:
-wp-editor-area{color:white}
I changed it into black and this solved the white text problem!
so just search for wp-editor-area{color:white} and change it into:
-wp-editor-area{color:black}

I want to add an extra field to the bbPress registration form but add it to the [bbp-login] shortcode so I don’t have to do a completely custom form (which I could do but seems more of a pain). Any thoughts?
It doesn’t work, it converts forums/users/topics but no replies.
I installed the “bbPress Email Notifications” plugin, but I have buddypress installed and the two aren’t compatible. If I deactivate BP, I get access to the bbPress member settings.
I’m using bbpress and have activated the possibility for guest users to create topics and replies. The now need to enter Name, Mail and Website. How can I edit those fields and add new ones? I searched the forums but all of the solutions seem to be for registered users.
Hooray – I solved the problem. My forums are in the /forums/ (virtual) directory – however that directory still existed on my server because that’s where the forum was when I ran the standalone version of bbpress – and so that must have been conflicting. Move the directory and all is good again.
You can close this now 🙂
bbPress’ profile pages are simply a front-end interface for the profile settings available through the WordPress dashboard.
The best approach would be to see how your external membership system is disabling this functionality in WordPress, then reproduce that for bbPress.
I think giving the user an edit profile panel in a discussion forum plugin is a bad approach
To be honest, this seems like pretty core functionality for any discussion board software. I’ve personally never encountered a forum that didn’t allow me to make changes to my profile or settings.
I just added a UserRole table to the DB I am working with and added a field RoleID and set some users to RoleID = 3 and the resulting query should not import users with RoleID = 3 though it is.
I’ll take another look at what might be going on here as it doesn’t seem to be picking up the ‘join’ when processing the user section.
Can you upload a copy of your Vanilla converter to http://gist.github.com and i’ll take a look at what you have in there and will add some of the other table mappings that I have been adding to all the other converters over the past week (I haven’t added these to the Example.php converter yet, they are just extra mappings to help bbPress during the recounts after importing etc)
1) In the yellow status window of the importer if you right click in Firefox/Chrome ‘inspect element’ you can check the SQL queries that the importer ran, have a look at the SQL query for the user import and check if that is what the SQL query should be.
The from/join logic is in converter.phpL#777 and you can use that as a guide to how to translate your query to the fields you are mapping.
2) I would not worry about this option as once you have finished the import and start to run the ‘repair forums’ tools the last option is “Remap existing users to default forum roles” and that will set all users without a bbPress role to ‘participant’
Feel free to throw any questions you have here as I am trying to fix a join for the Invision.php importer as we speak and its being a pain also 😉
