Limbobski, I have tried to import the old forums, but it did not work for me.
Did you have the old forum on a different database?
Were the users able to continue using the new forum?

Hello. I understand that this release was meant to introduce bbPress topics/replies showing on BuddyPress activity amongst other things, but that’s not working for us. I have deactivated buddypress forum component and instead I’m using bbPress “let groups have their own forums” option, but the activiy does not show topics or replies.
Is it a bug or what? Does anyone know a fix?
Hello,
I’ve installed BBPress (2.2.3) and WordPress (3.5) (site: http://twoblankpages.com). For some reason I cannot get the forums to attach to a WordPress “page” I have set up (named discussion). I’ve set the slug to discussion, but whenever I visit it I just see an empty page. I’m also running buddypress, but when I set the page through buddypress it just causes a redirect to my homepage.
However, if I manually enter twoblankpages.com/discussion/discussion/ it navigates me to the topics.
Any help you can give would be appreciated.
I’m sorry for my delay in replying! I had to put this project aside briefly but now I’m back at it. I really appreciate your response – but, unfortunately, I don’t have that file or an extras folder.
The theme author told me that it is in the bbpress folder, so I went to wp-content/plugins/bbpress and there are some files in there (bbpress.php, index.php) that may be the place to do it. I’m going to keep trying!
Thanks again 🙂
As the title says. I have deactivated buddypress forum component and instead I’m using bbPress “let groups have their own forums” option, but the activiy does not show topics or replies.
Is it a bug or what? I know it’s supposed to work.
my understanding is that the current version doesn’t do anything with bbpress (won’t let you edit those roles anymore) i also hit this problem today (also using URE) i deactivated the plugin but am still seeing the issue nothing changed in the last day since it was working little apprehensive to give “normal” users the ability to erase others :/
I’m having this problem again as well. html editor buttons not showing, visual are, when I switch from html to visual editor, the cursor moves all the way to the right of the post box as well.
At this stage I haven’t seen anyone mention anything about converting to BuddyPress ‘Group Forums’
With some theme customization you could make it appear that you have two lots of forums by putting each into their own ‘parent category’ and using shortcodes to only display each ‘category’ in specific areas of your site.
https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/
The other way is to go WordPress Multisite and have a separate site for your ‘support’ side of things.
To customize bbPress as a support forum check this great tutorial by @mordauk http://wp.tutsplus.com/tutorials/plugins/using-bbpress-as-a-support-forum/
@johnjamesjacoby Aside and onto the topic of “Forum Roles”. Is there a way we can add more custom roles?
hello
Here I start and I installed the latest version bbPress.
Can you give me a link to the French language translation please.
thank you in advance
bonjour
Voila je me suis lance et j’ai installe la derniere version bbPress.
Pouvez-vous m’indiquer un lien pour la traduction le langage francaise s’il vous plait.
merci d’avance
Traduction s’il vous plait
I have a large amount of content in a site wide forum, and would like to move all the content to particular groups and only use groups now with a “support” forum.
Can anyone advise me on the best route to do this, and how to create a support forum much like bbpress.
Thanks!
Oh man what a post:
I agree that I don’t want to use a plugin to add a capability to my custom role. I use a snippet to add capabilities to my “Master Editor” role.
However, there doesn’t seem to be a capability to get these roles to be able to use the “Forum”, “Topics” and “Replies” tabs.
Are there any solutions floating around to add BBPress caps to users?
Cool….
bbPress does not create any tables of its own, it uses WordPress custom post types for forums, topics, topic tags and replies.
I cleaned up the code layout of Example.php in #2134 so it now matches the coding style of the other importers. If you use SVN you can apply that patch directly or download it directly from here.
I am slowly getting updated and more docs in the codex starting here:
https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/
To customize the Example.php importer I have started this doc which follows this topic on building a new custom importer for the Mingle forums.
https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/custom-import/
This is all a work in progress and has a few moving targets so any questions ask away 🙂
I have succumbed and installed Mingle in the need to find what’s going on with the rogue post!
edit: host was having an issue.
Thank you so much for your reply! The information indeed helped me.
I have the database converted to a MySql database and can see the table information. Now it’s a matter of configuring the example.php
My next question: Where can I find a diagram of how bbPress 2.0 works with WordPress’ database structure? I know they share a database and tables. I know WP’s structure, but even Google won’t inform me how BBP interacts with WP. Simply put, I think from here it’s just a matter of linking the 2 together so that import will do the rest.
Thanks again!
A really small bug caused incorrect menu_order of new replies if a topic reached over 1000 replies.
The solve this the file includes/replies/functions.php has to be changed.
Line 264: ‘menu_order’ => bbp_get_topic_reply_count( $topic_id, false ) + 1;
Should be: ‘menu_order’ => bbp_get_topic_reply_count( $topic_id, true ) + 1;
If not true a comma will be added for the thousands. Which results in only the number before the comma will be used.
I will be glad to see this will be changed in the next version of bbPress.
Unfortunately I wasn’t able to find anything useful (working, stable, supported, up-to-date ..) in order to add a rating/vote up/reputation feature to my bbpress installation so far. Therefore I’m about to use something like wpanswers for my Q&A site but I’d prefer to use bbpress in order to promote the forum.
Any ideas how to professionally integrate a voting up or rating feature into bbpress would be highly appreciated!
Many thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Thomas
This is now in bbPress trac https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2163
(All updates will be posted at the above URL from now on i.e. download from trac NOT GitHub)
The docs will be on the codex at https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/mingle/
Don’t know what was the story, but our site have installed bbPress before and have run one event successfully a year ago. This plugin has been removed for some reason(I’m the second person to use this plugin).
I’ve just installed and activated bbPress again, seems all the configurations are still there. But the forumbase URL broken:
http://www.mamamia.com.au/nissanforums/forum/
No matter what I’ve changed config, it refuse to work, including following:
Forums base – changed to ‘forums’ and restored back
Forum Prefix – checked and unchecked
Other options
Etc
I’ve also checked documentations but no luck.
It’ll be grateful if anyone can help, thanks in advance.
Smileys & Open/Closed Topics are done, stickies we can’t do for now and that will have to wait.
Grab the latest again with https://gist.github.com/4534229/download
I’m still not sure why the extra blank post is turning up 🙁
‘wp_forum_threads’ has a ‘closed’ column where 0 is open and 1 is closed.
‘wp_forum_threads’ has a ‘status’ column with values of ‘sticky’ or ‘open’.
I have no problems re-creating the parent forums personally, I just wanted to make sure we had the correct setting as I am sure there will be others who try to use this.
Everything has really gone so much better than I hoped for so I could not be happier with the outcome. Thanks again for all of your help with this!
