Thanks for replying @destroflyer
We use 2.0.3 and can’t upgrade yet until we work out theme issues. The latest BBpress completely breaks our theme and makes the site un-usable. We’re working on a new theme but I was hoping I could get these to work without it.
@netweb thank you for that answer it should help debug. But what I don’t understand is that even if the BBpress template is not loading, why are the thread links in the forum being changed to something pretty awkward. Nothing of that sort is defined in the CPT plugin …
The forum tries to point to this link for each thread
http://example.net/forums/topic/forum-category/forum-sub1/%post-name%/
If the bbpress templates are not loading, why are the links being defaulted to that exactly?
Try your plugins
— disable all of them except your theme and your bbpress plugin.
for me it was plugin – “Frontpage category filter”
“This plugin allows you to choose which post categories youe site will show on the homepage. Just go to settings and deselect the categories that you want to hide.
Version 1.0.2 | By Cristian Merli ”
Once I deactivated I went one by one – ok sometimes two by two and isolated that plug-in which I need so I will try and find a workaround or another plugin that will not break bbpress. Would like to continue testing bbpress.. have looked at others and yes they work – but this version of bbpress is so far working with my thesis theme.
As long as that plugin is off.

I confirm that everything is working as described. Thank you for this useful plugin and your quick response.
These are the settings you should use:
Select Platform: Mingle
Database Server: localhost
Database Port: 3306
Database Name: My database name
Database User: My database user name
Database Password: My database password (which I use to login to phpMyAdmin)
Table Prefix: wp_
The changes above are `localhost` for the database server which is the default and is what is needed for most web hosts, the table prefix `wp_` which matches the screenshot you linked to above.
If this does not work confirm with your webhost the correct settings for your database name, user & password.
Hey I solved it after I asked a solution.
I tried `Database Server: localhost` and its done. Thank you.
@ridecbrcom – What version of bbPress do you use?
Hi.
I downloaded the latest file from the link that you provided above, put it in the folder `/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/converters` but I couldn’t import my old Mingle forum into bbPress.
When I click start button I get this:
Repair any missing information: Continue
Conversion Complete
No replies to convert
No tags to convert
No topics to convert
No forum parents to convert
No forums to convert
Starting Conversion
The settings which I tried as below:
Select Platform: Mingle
Database Server: My host IP
Database Port: 3306
Database Name: My database name
Database User: My database user name
Database Password: My database password (which I use to login to phpMyAdmin)
Table Prefix: The prefix that used in my database.
Can you please help me?
Thanks in advance.
Dear All
Please Guide How to Install bbPress
Hi there,
Can you please open a thread in WPML technical support forum? And, include a short description of the problem, WPML and bbPress versions.
Thanks!
Is this the full solutions already?
Yes
Or the known issues are still there at https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/mingle/ ?
This is up to date, anything listed here are the ‘workarounds’ you will need to do manually.
1) Which folder to put this file Mingle.php ?
Download `Mingle.php` using this link and upload the file with FTP to `/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/converters`
2) Just quickly have a look at my phpMyAdmin http://visionopen.com/questions/phpMyAdmin.png, is there any potential issue(s) for me to proceed with this Mingle.php?
Everything looks good here, on the import screen where it asks for table prefix use `wp_`
Remember to backup your web site pages and database first though…

Anyway, can this be more clear for entry-level users like me?

bbPress uses the permalink settings (/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bbpress) to determine if we are loading something that is bbPress, if it is bbPress we are loading then we need to load the appropriate bbPress template.
So if the CPT permalink plugin you are using is hijacking WordPress CPT’s before bbPress can detect its own CPT permalink to load a bbPress template then no bbPress template will be loaded.
I understand that, but I didn’t use the plugin to modify any BBPress related permalinks. The simple turning on of the plugin caused the topic links in the forums to be broken. The permalinks as stated in my original post didn’t change at all.
One more thing Stephen, is the converter supposed to convert Topic Subscription? If not, do you have any idea where that’s stored in WordPress/bbPress?
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
