bbPress 2.x includes its own phpBB converter (It was based on bbConverter)

https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/

The next release of bbPress will also include further improvements of the phpBB importer (I am working on these right now)

Here is a related post (no solution stated)

Topic author names prefixed with "imported_"

[wisemonkey]

Hello…

(I have searched the forums here for a solution for this, apologies in advance if I missed a relevant post).

I just installed the most current bbPress and imported a phpBB forums (3.0.10). I now have users with “imported_” prepended to their names. I am guessing that these are the names of users with pre-existing WP accounts who had the same phpBB username. (eg johndoe and imported_johndoe).

How can I merge these two accounts into one. (ie imported_johndoe -> johndoe)?

TIA,
fernando

I’m having problems with my forum, where only Administrators can see topics (new and old) in the forums. Everyone else with non-Administrator user roles cannot see topics, only replies. If I log in as a normal user and go into a forum topic, it shows only topic title, replies (if any), but no initial topic content.

I’m using BuddyPress 1.6.2, bbPress 2.2.3, WordPress 3.5, and I’m also using the User Role Editor plugin.

If I give all users the same user roles as the Administrator, they can now see topics, but obviously I don’t want to give everyone admin access. Do you know what role I need tick in User Role Editor so that all users can see topics?

Here are the user role I currently have set for a normal user: http://imgur.com/XsWPg

Hi @looimaster. Net yet, though because it uses a custom contextual sidebar, it does take some dedicated template files and a child theme.

We’re going to open-source bbpress.org in 2013, at which time the theme will be available for people to hack around with.

[John James Jacoby]

Sounds pretty strange. Any other plugins active that might be interfering with bbPress’s queries?

Hi everyone,
I need your help. I wanna migrate from phpbb to bbpress.
I use bbConverter. I got this error :

Could you help me?
Thank you.

I did this:

For users that are stuck with users that can’t access the forums, try using the forums role repair tool, located in: Admin > Tools > Forums

yet some of my users still don’t have access to the forums when they are logged in. I run a multisite with buddypress and no additional membership plugins. I’m not sure what to try next. Any suggestions?

[Mal]

I’m currently on BBPress 1 and I use very similar theme like bbpress.org forum has (its name is “kakumei” I guess?).

Is there something like that for BBPress2? It’s very clean & readable and I would love to use it 🙂

[Aneox]

Users with bbpress role=Participants and WP role=Admin works well too.

[Aneox]

When bbpress and mingle active in one time, forum access deny(error 404) for Participants and Moderators. Keymaster and Spectators works well. It doesnt depend on the theme.

Ive done a lot of work to customize mingle for my WP. But now i need a forum. Please help.
WP 3.5, mingle and bbpress latest versions.

It appears that bbPress Sweedish translations are a bit all over the place:

bbPress Dev – 87% Complete https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/dev/sv/default
bbPress 2.2x – 0% Complete https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/2.2.x/sv/default

Also WP Sweeden had previously operated there own translations here
bbPress 2.1 http://wpsv.se/oversattning/projects/bbpress/21
bbPress 2.0 http://wpsv.se/oversattning/projects/bbpress/20

I think the best idea would be to contact WP Sweeden and ask about bbPress translations

[rossagrant]

I’ve noticed this for a while, and I’m not sure what is causing it.

Whenever I use an @mention in my forum posts I get a DB error reported in my server’s error log.

Here is an example:

WordPress database error You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘http://www.mysite.com/members/dave/’ rel=’nofollow’>@cdave is’ at line 1 for query SELECT ID FROM wp_posts WHERE post_type = ‘reply’ AND post_status != ‘trash’ AND post_author = 11 AND post_content = ‘@cdave is this still happening Dave?’ AND post_parent = ‘11990’ LIMIT 1 made by

Any idea if this is actually my DB or is it BBPress at fault?

My site title also has an apostrophe in it, and this appears as raw HTML in all notification emails.

Any idea on these 2 things guys?

Hi,

I posted this under an existing thread but there was no response, so I assume it wasn’t seen.

I set up two private forums with my WP blog, following the Getting Started steps. Everything looked great (mostly). Then I created a category (also private) and made it a Parent to the forums. I ordered the forums #1 and #2.

As soon as I did that, the forums ceased to be visible as a list on one page, though they briefly had been. I have to click on them directly (from the edit page) to see them. My members need a direct link to access them.

I changed it back to how it had been, so they could access the main forum through the navigation bar (I created a menu button). But this morning, when I went to check this in Theme 2012, I saw that they again had the category as Parent and were ordered. Like I hadn’t changed them. I don’t know what that’s about.

Btw, I’ve set this as private b/c I didn’t see a way to have people log in, so this would only be available to members. Don’t know if this is part of the issue.

I have the latest versions of WP (3.5) and bbPress (2.2.3). Find my site here.

It’s been rather difficult to work things out, even following the steps you provide, especially regarding this parent issue. Then today I made a reply to a thread and it refuses to show up, though it’s in the list of Replies on my dashboard. I know that’s a separate issue, so I can make a separate post for it.

Thank you for your time.

Some my user with Samsung galxy s3 can’t user “star topic” in bbpress forum (version 2.2.3)

[Geezerjim]

Are you using Jetpack-Sharing? If so, just go to the configuration page and check the boxes for forums, topics, replies, or whatever you want. They are not checked by default, and will not be checked if you added bbPress after you activated Jetpack.

[rossagrant]

Saying that though, submitting replies here on this site is pretty snappy!

Anything we can do to streamline our own sites?

[rossagrant]

I too would love to know if I can speed up my forums in buddypress.

I use regular site wide forums and the actual loading of the pages of the forums is great.

The sluggishness comes when posting an actual reply or topic.

Does anyone know if the number of voices in a thread, number of subscribers to it should have adverse affects on load time?

I have one topic that has 77 voices in it and quite a few may be subscribed. It takes about 7 seconds to submit a reply after hitting post.

Is that normal?

Strange thing is, is that even starting a new topic from scratch is slooowww too.

Has there been any changes to bbpress lately that will cause this? I don’t think it used to seem so sluggish.

[pramodbhalerao]

hey i install bbpress to my domain.so i found domain.com/forums as forum section

[Stephen Edgar]

Did you run the bbPress 1.1 admin recount tools /bb-admin/tools-recount.php before importing?

You can try importing again now and if that fixed it, good, if not onto phpMyAdmin:

To check the integrity of the bbPress 1.1 database and repair/optimize any tables if needed. The instructions in following are written for WordPress but are the same for any database so follow the two steps ‘Optimization using phpMyAdmin’ and ‘How to Repair WordPress Tables’ here:

http://wpmu.org/wordpress-maintenance-101-how-to-optimize-and-repair-database-tables/

[Morgan Kay]

I have a WP 3.4.2 site, and I’m trying to import a forum from bbPress 1.1. I go to the import tool, enter in all the information, and it starts the import just fine. But it always hangs around topic 31000 (it’s a HUGE forum – it’s been very active for several years). I’ve tried several times with fresh copies of the site, and every time I get the same problem.

Is there anything I can do about this?

Thanks!

[muyilleum]

I’m not sure what is happening here but can’t seem to make a post in this support forum. Here’s my problem again:

I uninstalled bbPress from my blog but found that the additional roles (e.g. Keymaster, Spectator etc) remain. How can I get rid of these additional forum roles now that bbPress has been uninstalled? Thanks

WordPress version: 3.5, bbPress version: 2.2.3

[muyilleum]

Hi there, I uninstalled bbPress from my blog but find that the additional roles (e.g. Keymaster, Spectator etc.) it created remain. Please tell me how I can completely remove these new roles. Thank you.

[muyilleum]

Hi there,

I have uninstalled bbPress but find that the additional roles created by bbPress install such as Keymaster, Spectator, etc remains. Can you please tell me how to get rid of these roles? Thanks

[Tanya]

This one maybe?
