Do you mean like one of the following?
In the sidebar a list of recent topics on bbPress.
A bbpress post inside the loop of your homepage posts.
The latest bbpress topic/reply appear as the main content of your homepage?
All the best, Lynq.
I’ve looked at the data you sent me and each value for each field is a valid field value/type!
I can import that data into a phpBB install, I can then import that data to bbPress!
I got nothing at the moment as to what is causing the import to stop, Ill try and gather some more sample data/databases to debug the issue.
For now if you get stuck try ‘bbp_converter_start by 1’
Hello,
how can I do when I write a message in the forum (bbPress) appearing in the wordpress homepage?
Thanks.
Sent you an email. The next stop was with replies, LIMIT 470. Managed to skip it. Left it running over night. When I came to check it, it had stalled at LIMIT 6874 and had outputted a huge line of dashes. I pressed stop and went to bump the bbp_converter_start. “Starting conversion” it said and started to output more dashes without actually doing anything.
If you can give me confirmation that 470 and 6874 mean row numbers in phpbb_posts, I will send those rows to you. But then I will wait for an update to bbPress with better debugging, because I can’t go doing conversions 1 row at a time for weeks on end hoping it won’t crash.
On every bbPress page, I’d like to list the recent replies under the forum content, much like this site:
How can this be done?
- The ‘Recent Replies’ widget shows recent replies.
- The ‘Recent Topics’ widget has the option to show ‘New Topics’, ‘Popular Topics’ or ‘Topics with recent replies’
You can therefore use a combination of the two widgets to achieve what you are after…
This was by design… This can change…
A couple of the widgets have just been updated (see #1903) by @jaredatch and I suppose what you are asking is like how the ‘Recent Topics’ widget has the new/pop/recent options, could the ‘Recent Replies’ widget also include a checkbox to also include ‘Recent Topics with No Replies’?
If that is what you are asking then jump on over and create a new ticket explaining what ‘enhancment’ you would like in the widget/s and we will see how we go for a future release. https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/newticket
No it wasn’t an auto reply to your post.
I presumed what you were looking for is in point 4 of ‘Creating your first forum’ where you can define if a forum is a parent category or straight forum. In the case you were asking you simply create the forum as a forum and not a category.
https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started-with-bbpress/#creating-your-first-forum
> Adjust your Forum attributes. These are:
> Types: choose whether you are creating a Forum or category.
> Forum – can contain topics and be the parent of other forums.
> Category – can only contain forums (no topics). Use for organizing your forums.
> You may, for example, have a Category “Open Source Software” with the > Forums “bbPress” and “WordPress”.
And yes forum wide search is planned for a future release

There are plans to improve bbPress’s moderation features.
You can see whats planned thus far, contribute more ideas or even code here:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1721
Create a page (or edit an existing page) and add the [bbp-topic-index] shortcode to that page.
https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/
I’ve noticed that the main forum url (http://bbpress.org/forums/) shows Latest Topics….
On my site it shows the list of forums.
Is that easy to change?
I haven’t been able to find any settings for this 🙂
Hello,
I am trying to get bbpress and theme my login to play nicely together…
Everything almost works just perfectly… only one problem exists…
The redirection after login does not work as expected.
Everyone is always redirected to the homepage after logging in with the TML widget.
On logout everyone is redirected to the login page.
I’ve found this page, which describes the same problem on the TML support page: http://www.jfarthing.com/support/topic/redirection-feature-doesnt-work-with-other-plug-in-bbpress/
If I disable TML and use the bbpress login widget it works fine…
Has anyone gotten this to work?
Thanks!
Currently when signing in with the bbPress widget it redirects you to the home page. Is there a way to keep it on the page that your logging in on?
Also when upgrading to the current bbPress my Forum List now is off (seems to be a CSS thing with the colors of the theme not translating to the the forum list). Any ideas how to fix that?
Thank you for any suggestions.
Hello,
I’m have a little bit of an issue with both TinyMCE & the Password Strength Indicator in user profile editor. Both of which seem to be invisible – space for them in the CSS has been provided but nothing displays. Are they supposed to be installed separately?
I’m running the latest version of WordPress & bbPress

Can you post a copy of that posts SQL data please so we can have a look at that data to improve the bbPress phpBB importer.

You could create a page and use the shortcodes to display the forum there. You can then set the page as home, instead of the blog (under Settings > Reading).
From there you’ve got the forum index on the frontpage. You could create other pages to handle registration and other account related things.
You’ll want to read through https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/ for the shortcodes.
Can you tell me how to install your tweak? I am using just the standard Admin tools, and there seems to be no automatic way to reinstall a plugin that isn’t updated.
Sorry for being such a newbie.

Great work James ! one more small thing would like to bring to your notice, Under Admin page of user having capability as Forum moderator (twenty Eleven theme 1.4) no topics or replies are shown, though one test topic is created count for All(1) Published(1). Once again Great Job.
I found the culprit: it’s bbpress-antispam:
bbpress-antispam 0.7 not compatible to bbpress 2.1
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbpress-antispam
When I deactivate it, it’ll work fine.
Hi,
I seem to have successfully migrated my bbpress database (1.1) into the latest (2.11) wordpress plugin version. The problem is I dont want the wordpress “site” at all – just the forum (as it used to be in its standalone version – accessed via a link from my main site menu).
In addition I can only access the forum at present via the dashboard and ‘view’. It does not appear as a menu command on the wordpress “site” or anywhere else on that page. How does one find the forums at all on that “home” page?
What I am trying to do is recreate what I had before (with custom template too) under this new setup. I would not have moved to Wpress but was forced to as the bbpress 1 forum is getting chinese spammers every day and the registration approval plugin doesnt work at all.
I hope this is clear enough for some good help/advice! I cannot find any good simple steps to convert the one into the other. Do I have to base my entire site on WordPress now (will have to junk wpress if I am forced to do that!) or can I recreate what I had before when bbpress was a standalone forum?
Thanks
Patrick
Hi I have had exactly the same problem, I updated this morning and the Widget has appeared, many thanks Guys for your efforts.
Asking “where are the shortcodes” would have probably helped us help you.
Asking Google for “bbPress Shortcodes” would have eventually gotten you there, too. 🙂
