Not into the millions here, but I just migrated over about 140k posts and 40k tag relationships last night.
So far, nothing is on fire yet!
This should be much less of an issue now that we’re running bbPress 2.1. Guess we’ll see what happens!
Few biggish things to do:
* Migrate Codex
* Redirect Legacy Plugins
* Blog Sidebar and Comments
Hi Viktora,
Sorry to hear you’re having trouble. What theme are you attempting to add bbPress support to?
Hi all. I have successfully implemented BBPress 2.1 on my WP with custom template. Now, I am trying for almost one week to customize the default bbpress theme. Based on the description here I have
– created the bbpress directory like “wp-content/themes/MYTHEME/bbpress”
– copied all files from “bbPress/bbp-theme-compat/bbpress/” to the new directory above (I have checked that the all modifications of these files in my theme are visible on the website front end
– as part of my testing I have moved the root file page-front-forums.php out of /bbpress/extras into the root of my theme
BUT – no change on the forum front end (mywebsite.com/forums) – the system shows the forums as content of page based on the page.php template file (including left and right sidebars), the page-front-forums.php file is ignored. What is wrong?
BTW, the new forum design here is really great! Could you publish the template files used pls?:-)

Hi John James Jacoby
Thank you for your reply and help.
I will look into this and get back to you with feedback.
Thank You
Thanks. I put some pages in place now. Need to write some copy next…
@markusbb – I experienced this twice while converting bbPress.org over last night. I considered it a fluke, since it was with over 100k post entries.
In your wp_options table, should be an entry with the key ‘_bbp_converter_query’. It will indicate what the last attempted converter query is, which will narrow down the scope of your search to figure out what may have gone wrong.
Apologies that you’re having trouble, and we’d like to get whatever is wrong fixed up for the next release.
Hi guys
Thank you for your replies.
I started the conversion however it hangs at a “Converting topics (300 – 599)” point. I restarted the conversion and still the same. Any ideas why this might happening?
Thank You
Small bug: The links to Simple Setup / Fully Integrated / Multisite Forums on the frontpage seem to be pointing to the wrong place.
I just saw a tweet about this plugin yesterday.

While I have not used it before, I know his code is rock solid and support is fantastic. It specifically mentions bbPress support and might be able to easily be modified to use groups instead of people who purchase a product. Might be worth asking him about.
If I ever pick up a copy, I’ll try to write up a full review on it as this feature has been requested for some time now.
The code is in the core for you to use, though not yet implemented in the front end, the functions work.

Hey guys, today I installed bbpress on my wordpress blog. But I suddenly face a problem. After i entered mydomain.com/forums i say all the categories. Then when i click on a category it opens a page with this write :
Catchable fatal error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted to string in /home/mileyray/public_html/wp-content/themes/especial/libraries/breadcrumb.php on line 88
the line that it underlines is: echo get_category_parents($ID, TRUE, $markup, FALSE );
I’m using the latest version of wordpress 3.4.1
Please help me! Thx in advance.
Hello community,
I am doing some work for a client (www.autoedizione.nl), unrelated to bbpress, but all of a sudden, after updating bbPress, links to categories are very strange.
In the menu, there are links to category pages which are (simply put) site.domain/category, and these worked fine before update. After the update, they are redirected to site.domain/forums/forum/category.
The links in the menu are generated by WordPress, using get_category_link($id), with the correct $id.
Is there any way to fix this? It’s wreaking havoc for the site. By the way, links to pages that are formatted similarly (site.domain/page), still work.
@hlwinkler Yep, 2.0 and 2.1 plugin as well
I am trying to find a way to create groups of users in WordPress and allow only certain groups access to certain forums.
Can anyone suggest a way of doing this using bbPress and other plugins only? I don’t want to use BuddyPress.
Welcome to bbPress forums!
To convert bbPress 1 to plugin version select Tools/Forums menu on Import Forums tab

Regards,
The very first setting on the ‘Import Forum’ page has a drop down to select which forum software you are wanting to import from bbPress, phpBB etc,
And to clarify bbPress1 is the same as bbPress Standalone
Hi guys
I am installing the bbpress plugin, deactivating all other plugins, go to Tools > Import but I cannot find the BBpress Standalone tool there. Any ideas ?
Thank You
I’m the wrong guy to ask about that… @Doobbe is your man!
Thanks Terence! Curious about whether the instructions would be the same for 2.0 and 2.1 though.
Woo’s word on it is that it isn’t a bug, it’s a theming issue for me to fix. This surprises me but I’d like to just work around it at this point.
How do I create a child theme for bbpress 2.1 that lets me address the problem that the forum index, user pages and tag pages are all displayed inside of a blog post excerpt loop with no live links or formatting?
