As per the link you mention above https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/

You should be able to import with these settings:

– Select the source platform that you are importing from: bbPress
– Database Name eg. old_bbpress_db
– Database User Name eg. db_user
– Database User Password eg. ********
– Table Prefix eg. bb_

I posted my question on StackOverflow as well.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13920322/vbulletin-to-bbpress-conversion-how-can-i-redirect-the-old-urls-to-the-new-one

I have to find a solution fast because i’m currently losing a lot of SE traffic.

=====================================================

Greetings!

I’ve been tackling this problem for so long now that my mind is turning to mush. I really need some direction on this…please?

Task: My site contains static PAGES for subscribers to view/download content. I have also created some PAGES that are to be DISCUSSION pages, where each PAGE deals with just ONE (1) topic only.

Example: On my site you have a PAGE called FORUM DISCUSSIONS. On this page you will find 4 links representing the TOPICS.

TOPIC ONE
TOPIC TWO
TOPIC THREE
TOPIC FOUR

If you click on the link TOPIC ONE, you arrive at the TOPIC ONE PAGE. Here, I would like to allow my members to post their questions, comments, and even embed a picture if they wish.

Each member that posts on this PAGE would see their comment show up at the very top, pushing previous posts down the page. And of course, the member name, date and time of post is important for each post made.

While I know how to create a PAGE where I want a specific TOPIC discussed (and only that TOPIC), I don’t know how to give it the ability I just described above (allow users to post, include picture, have it show up at the top, etc.)

I’m thinking this is not difficult but I can’t seem to find the answers to my specific needs. I do not want my members creating the topics. I don’t want all the other fluff that shows how many members there are, how many are online, or any other additional information. Just a simple editor box to create the post, and for that post to show up at the top of the PAGE.

Can this be done?

Thank you in advance!

🙂

Hi Stephen. The bbpress built-in import tool didn’t work for me and paid the guys from gConverter.com to do it. They did a great job with the conversion and everything is working fine now.

Regarding the htaccess rules, i have no idea how to write them even after reading the resources you posted. So if there’s anyone here who can help, i would really appreciate it.

[Muntasir M. Aumio]

I’d like to import my bbpress forum(with user, topics and replies) from one site to another.
Is it possible?
Both domain are in the same server. So, I see the database is same for both domain on the server.
http://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/
I’m not very clear about that. And It doesn’t work for me as well.
Can anyone help me ASAP.
I’m in A SERIOUS trouble.
Please.

I found this topic elsewhere but that didn’t came up with a sollution. I’m using the “Members” plugin. But I don’t see how this will make the url’s change. I installed bbPress 2.2.3 this morning, but still no luck.

Can someone provide me (us) with a sollution for the broken links. Please.

[erwinodendaal]

I have the “Members”-plugin installed. After updating bbPress and changing all roles of the users from “(wordpress-)”participants” into “subscribers”, the “participant”-roles of bbPress were empty. Now all subscribers can participate in the private forums. Not what I’ve had in mind…

But in my functions.php I have a script to notify users of their updated capabilities. It starts with:
function user_role_update( $user_id, $new_role ) {
if($new_role == 'bbp_participant') {

But that doesn’t seem to work anymore. Did the name of the bbPress participant role change? Will
function user_role_update( $user_id, $new_role ) {
if($new_role == 'participant') {

work?

[sayumi19]

Hello. I just started this bbpress plugin recently.

I would like to know how users delete their own topics by themselves. I set all visitors as participants. They can write and edit their topics, but can not delete. If there’re suitable plugin.

Thank you for reading. Waiting for reply.

[Lynq]

If you want to do it yourself then I would recommend looking here first: https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development – It tells you a bit about getting to grips with wordpress themes in general and then you can move onto bbPress which sits inside your wordpress theme.

Good luck.

[ReneVe]

[Lynq]

Have you done much editing with wordpress templates? You will need to edit the bbPress template files to move the make new topic button, or do what I did and add in a new button which scrolls you down using jquery.

[Lynq]

I downloaded the latest version of bbPress and the latest version of wordpress, did a local install probably only 5 days ago at max and then re created it using the functions from my teamoverpowered.com site.

[erwinodendaal]

I guess my problem that subscribers/forum participants after the update of bbPress 2.2 can no longer edit their profile page (and all subscribers/participants before could) are a result of the incompatibility of bbPress and the Members plugin?
Do I still need the Members plugin now that the roles for WordPress and bbPress are no longer one?

Greetings all, I hope everyone is having a safe holiday season.

Nice Lync… What version of bbPress did you base this from?

I will take it for a spin and closer look later…

[Stephen Edgar]

Firstly, I am currently looking for feedback on the vBulletin importer and there have been reports that users do not get imported correctly, did your users get imported correctly?

eg. Migrating vBulletin 4.0.4 to bbPress 2.2.3 and bug tracking ticket #1991.

What version of vBulletin and bbPress are you using?

I personally don’t have access to vBulletin so I haven’t been able to test much of anything relating to vBulletin basically so helping out with your .htaccess would also be a bit of hit and miss.

Stack Exchange has some great examples of rewrites

• http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/.htaccess+mod-rewrite
• http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/mod-rewrite

This is one of my favourites even though it is not specific to any of your needs here it is a good example of mod_rewrite regex rules.

• http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4318171/how-to-regex-and-htaccess-rewrite-url

A couple of other resources to help along the way:

• htaccess tester
• An In Depth Guide to mod_rewrite for Apache
• reFiddle regex expression testing

[Lynq]

Download the Zip from github and then unzip it into your wordpress theme. It will take care of the rest.

Good luck!

How do I install this theme into bbPress?

Thanks!

[matrixd]

Hi Hansaplastique is possible to add at tinyMCE editor the preview button?

[Juba]

I recently installed bbpress on my blog but needed the existing Mingle forum live so that I could transfer some of the posts to the new install of bbpress so i set it up as test.

After transferring most of the posts I needed, I wanted to use the existing forum page as the new forum homepage so I inserted /forum/ as my main prefix for the url.

Now I can’t get the homepage but I can view the topic pages. When I enter /forum on my site, it just shows a blank page or redirects to the main site page.

My site is http://tenerifefroum.org.es and the forum should be with a /forum after the url.

Here is one of the topic pages:
http://tenerifeforum.org.es/forum/board/reviews/

If anyone can help on how I can get the forum to work, I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks

To update this thread, I downgraded to version 2.1.3 as suggested here and the problem was resolved. 2.1.3 is before the new user role setup in BBPress. The folks in the thread linked above were all having issues with Member plugins and user roles that had been edited.

I’m not using a user role editor of any kind on the main site, but I have used on 3 (out of 100) subsites on the multisite network. The role editor plugin has never been activated on the main site, and BBpress has never been activated on the subsites.

For now, I’m stuck on 2.1.3 until a fix or a better understanding can be found.

[Prometheus Fire]

There were a few people who were reporting 404 errors for some logged in users, myself included, in the announcement thread here http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-2-2-3-released/

Instead of clogging up that thread with that problem, I’m starting a new one. To summarize, admins can access the forums, but some logged in users cannot. On my site I’ve been getting reports daily that some members cannot access the forums. I have two testing account on my site, one can access and another, newly created cannot. It receives the 404 error.

Logged out users can load all the forums with no problem, as can admins. Resetting permalinks doesn’t fix it, and neither does re-installing the plugin. I even went so far as to delete all the _bbp_ options from the wp-options table of the database and that didn’t help either.

I also downgraded to 2.2.2 and that didn’t fix it, so I don’t think the issue is with the latest version, but something else that may have introduced with the new user roles (which I think came in with 2.2), but I only recently started having the issue with version 2.2.3.

One user has rebuilt his database and beat the problem, this may work for some, but I’m not in a position to do that since I’m running mine on multisite and my database is over 2gb with thousands of tables. For me to do that for this when everything else is working fine is a major job.

Any one having this issue should post in this thread and hopefully we can find the problem and solution. As it stands right now for me, about a third of my users are getting the error.

[Prometheus Fire]

I can report that I’m experiencing the same issue that TranThe is experiencing. Many users, once they get logged in are getting 404 errors.

I can’t seem to figure it out. It does not seem to be entirely user role related and doesn’t seem to effect all the users, but I have a number of users and a testing account that get a 404 error.

I see TranThe’s fix above, but that seems pretty drastic, I’m not in a position to re-install WordPress and rebuild the database yet because of this. I’m running BBpress on the mainsite of a multisite install that hosts nearly 100 websites. His fix is great for a single site, but for me that’s a major operation, my database is huge.
