This is a potentially useful plugin, and makes nice use of WP functions.
However, I’ve reviewed this code and I don’t believe that it works.
Unless I’m missing something it doesn’t update the various necessary _bb_press metakeys.
It just simplistically changes the post types for the posts to “topic” and stores the comments as replies.
Possible that I’m missing something, but the documentation for the insert post function includes no indication that it will maintain the necessary bbpress fields.
See https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_insert_post
Although I haven’t run the code, I don’t actually believe that it will even insert the posts into the selected bbpress forum. It will, however, create the topics which can then be moved around manually.
Just a lay person’s read.

hi, I’m a newbie and I really like bbPress forum but I don’t know how can I install to my wordpress. Some information give advise using FTP such as this information, but the wordpress plugin site give information that the instalation is through the plugin as a normal plugin.
So I follow the wordpress plugin way and it work, I can see th forum, modify add some forum and topics, but I haven’t had any clue on how I can change the theme or how to add the theme.
My first question is, did I installed it the right way? and secondly, how I can change the theme? I make a child theme but it didn’t work. My objective is to have my wordpress theme for the posts and as the forum for now I’m hoping to use the static bbPress forum theme.
I’m truly lost and I don’t know how I can manage to do it? Currently I’m using wordpress 3.5 with leaf theme, and latest bbPress forum bbPress 2.2.3.
My wordpress is currently in the subdirectory of my main site.

Thank you in advance and sorry for my bad English.
Hello, I just installed the latest version of bbpress, but I would like to translate it into Spanish … How I can do?
Thank you!
Thank you for taking the time to put this together Stephen. I’ve read the codex a few times over but it’s still a bit over my head. Hopefully over the weekend I will have some more time to make sense of things, but I do appreciate the prompt and very helpful response 🙂
Well I did that now. All custom roles are gone, the plugin is deleted, users have been remapped to default forum roles and bbPress still does not work as it should.
Do you have any idea of how to get this working? I have tried everything I can think of. I can’t find any leftovers from the role plugin either.
OK, but how do I make it work then? Reset and remove the User Role Editor, and then “Remap existing users to default forum roles”? I want bbPress more than custom roles to put it that way.
Thanks for both @Lync and @netweb. I have been able to use lead topic function and it worked. I have reviewed the link you sent as an alternative to str_replace. I now have a different yet related question: Is it possible to have different headers for different forums. For instance, can I have one template for Q and A forum and another template for Jobs forum, and so on…? In each of the forum, I would prefer a different header. Is it possible to get this done through PO MO files or str_replace or any other functions? Thanks for your help.
@steilenhang – ironically, the issue you describe is with those role plugins, and WordPress core, not with bbPress directly.
It comes from the use of WP_User::set_role() which ends up nuking bbPress’s roles. That said, bbPress 2.2.3 also has support for mapping to custom WordPress blog roles, so there shouldn’t be anything “broken” there.
If there is, I’d love to see some specific steps to duplicate the circumstances so I can improve what I can in bbPress.
This is fixed in trunk, and will be part of 2.3. In the meanwhile, turn debugging off in your production site and the error goes away, without any consequences that I am aware of.
please use trac for bugs.
So I got a little further. In “User Role Editor -> Custom capabilities” the new forum capabilities shows up. If you enable them in the other WP roles the 404 error is gone and everyone can write like normal.
However, even though I enabled “edit_topics” and “edit_replys”, nobody can edit but admin. Deleting does not work either.
I hope there will be some core changes to make this work. I have several plugins that creates their own roles and capabilities and they all work fine with User Role Editor and each other. bbPress should too.
Hi! Did you ever figure this out?
Having the same issues on my end. Running Buddypress and bbpress, I just tried creating a new site and received the same exact errors.
Would love help with this one.
I have tried everything listed above and still can not get the tinymce to show within bbpress. Any help would be greatly appreciated..

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
honestscott, yes, old forum is not affected by migration tool.
smiga said: Migration tool just makes copy from bbpress tables to wptables
So I can just import to a new set up and it will not affect my current 1.0.2 forum?
Thanks!
I just managed to upgrade from 1.0.2 to 2.2.3 and now I have the same 404 error like you guys do. Your patch did not work for me 082net, sorry.
I am still using WP 3.3, but I have “User Role Editor” installed…
Ok, just copying those files over and overwriting doesn’t seem to work. There is no change. Can anyone help please?
i.e. do I just sftp the whole lot over and hope for the best?
I’ve got 1.03 so I’ve downloaded 1.1 to upgrade before I move over to 2.12. Do I just overwrite all my 1.03 files with 1.1 files or is there a better way to do this prior upgrade?
