You don’t need to import. That codex page is referring to an older version of bbPress (v1.0) when it was required to do an import to bbPress v2.0.

I posted a ticket about this here: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3433

It’s an issue since WordPress 5.6.0.

[ShadowKatmandu]

WordPress version 5.8
BuddyPress version 9.0.0
bbPress version 2.6.6

I have attempted to import from BuddyPress by going to Tools > Forums, Import Forums. I entered all of the needed information and clicked Start. The progress box reported nothing was imported, but our BuddyPress Groups has 1 forum with a fair number of messages.

I found documentation at https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/importing-data/import-forums/bbpress-1-x-buddypress-group-forums/ which purports to be documentation for importing from BuddyPress groups but only links to what appears to be a possibly out-of-date article about importing from an older version of bbPress.

What is the best method to migrate from BuddyPress 9.0 to bbPress 2.6.6?

I’m using bbPress for quite a while now.

But for the last 3 weeks, I’m getting lots of spam & suspicious registration on my website using bbPress login, like mailforspam.com and others.

The strange part is that they are not even visiting my bbPress login page and other forum topics, there is no data of them in google analytics. They directly get registered somehow.
They just not only registered but also create some spammy topics. Can you tell me why I’m suddenly run into this problem?

What can I do to stop them?

I used for bbpress wp fastest with a cheetah for a long time .. until I found out that the mobile version went into the premium segment)
Spent a week experimenting and found an even more faster solution.
1. Nginx cache – compression, reddis, headers.
2. PhastPress – enable all parameters – then disable unnecessary ones. These are pictures, scripts, queues optimizations.
3. And finally WP Super Cache – this is the cache stuff, but unlike w3 total – the cache in dynamic, which is what for the forum. Good results – Expert mode enabled.
Hope this helps you a little.

Hello

So i own a website in wordpress with latest bbpress installed but i’m having cache issues with the forum. So when browsing i get old content, always have to ctrl+shift+r.

Googling the issue i saw some topics with users but it couldnt be fixed entirely.

I have tried:
– No cache on the hosting;
– Automatic cache on hosting;
– Installed LiteSpeed Cache
Disabled Cache for logged in users
Added /topic* /forum* /forums* to be excluded
Every other setting i found online
– Installed W3 Cache (i have it currently)
Still cache issues specially editing topics (shows old content), going back on forum shows also outdated content. Same happens after editing topics
– Also tried no Cache Plugins, same results.

It has been a pain to try to deal with this and my knowledge is limited on this.
Any help?

Technically, an image is a link so that would count as a hyperlink.

This is a legitimate problem because bbPress inherited the discussion settings from WordPress in bbPress 2.6.0. I created a ticket to perhaps create separate forum moderation settings, which would address this. See https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3352.

A workaround is to bump the link limit to a higher number or use some code to bypass moderation.

The BuddyPress plugin doesn’t integrate with bbPress.

It’s the other way around. The issue is with the BuddyPress integration built into bbPress.

You should create an issue at https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/

Hi,

Amazing it all works great now. Dont know how the BBpress crashed but Thank you for your help!

[wonadoomore]

Hi,

I am unable to see anything to do with BBpress as it is not visible as the forum tab has also gone, but I am in as the original Administrator.

[Robin W]

ok, so what is the bbpress role for the user ID you are using to examine the dashboard?

[Robin W]

I’ve just upgraded my test site to wordpress 5.8 and all looks ok.

it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

HI,

the only update i have just had is wordpress and i have just noticed that my BBpress has stopped working, but now it has gone from my admin list and the forums or no longer visible. but in plugins it shows that the plugin is still active.

i have reinstalled the plugin but noting is happening. I havent even got forums in my wordpress dashboard anymore.

Any ideas? Thanks

[Robin W]

ok, those all look ok.

All I can suggest is that bbpress has got corrupted on your installation.

I’d suggest

deactivate and delete bbpress
reinstall

You won’t lose any data if you do that.

[Robin W]

I suspect that this is a woocommerce issue. bbpress just uses wordoress login, so it looks like something (eg woocommerce) is hooking to the wordpress login and taking you to shop.

May well be a setting in woocommerce as to what to do when a user logs in

[centralstatesmedia]

Running wordpress 5.8, php 7.4
• have deactivated all plugins except bbPress
• switched to a default theme
• flushed permalinks
• cleared cache
• repaired forums

bbPress All Replies still getting a 502 error. What can I do. WP Engine states segmentation faults, which is common with plugin error. Any advice?

[purityboy83]

Hi

@robin-w

I really think I can use bbpress well because of you.

I am infinitely grateful to you

Thanks

I’m migrating a forum from vbulletin to bbpress, after a lot of tests I managed to get everything working but the images of the old forum and the emoticons are transferred to the root ex: mysite.it/smile.gif
Do you know a way to set a specific folder or at least the folder where I am in vbulletin?
Thank you

[Robin W]

the keymaster role is further down the profile – it is an additional role to the wordpress one.

If you have keymaster set for you, then it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

I am having the same problem. I have also installed BBpress forum and activated the plugin. It’s not showing up in the dashboard menu on the left. I am listed as a keymaster under User/Forum Roles. We do not have “keymaster” listed under Users as a role. Should I add it there as well?

[Robin W]

that’s not code from bbpress.

it could be a theme or plugin issue

In a forum that was made with Buddypress + BBpress I can do it normally

Example of forum that competes with mine
[video src="https://i.gyazo.com/bd1d29fd9c1a025c72f6fd54f88afb83.mp4" /]

But in my forum that was created with Buddypress + BBpress I can’t paste the gif, how can I fix it?

I’m new to bbPress so please excuse what has been asked before, but a lot of the answers seem obsolete.

I’ve created several forums, with descriptions yet the descriptions never appear when a user views the forum. Various article I’ve read here suggest you have to go edit “your functions file” (see https://codex.bbpress.org/layout-and-functionality-examples-you-can-use/) but when I search for bbpress.php, forum.php, etc. I can’t find them. There’s nothing under wp-content/themes/astra or anywhere else I can find. Anyone got any hints?

It’s frustrating that so much of the documentation on bbPress seems to have been written years ago and not necessarily updated as changes have been made.

My site is kusamurabonsai.org – but the forums are only visible to logged in users.
I’m running WP 5.7.2 and bbPress 2.6.6
