It kind of helps to know what plugin you are talking about.

There are a couple of plugins that might help though:

http://bbpressbbcode.chantech.org/

http://bbpressbbcode.chantech.org/shortcode-whitelist/

those allow you to use shortcodes in bbPress, and also choose which ones you allow users to use.

*allowing all shortcodes for users is dangerous, asking for trouble.

**I didn’t write the plugins, and don’t know much about them other than I tried them once and they worked. Just trying to help

I believe that bjj’s example shows the converted code. The original should be:

Stacks:

The converted added the characters “:twwr5fiw” to the post.

Just like in my example:

The original bbcode post:

The converted code:

[img:33mwiaq9]http://www.swafineart.com/images/30.4.07/images/NightOfHeros_lr.jpg[/img:33mwiaq9]

The converter added the characters “:33mwiaq9” to the bbcode tags.

I hope that clarifies the issue we are facing here.

For the most part, that is about how bbPress looks out of the box. I see a few table issues, but nothing major.

Try downloading the nightly vs. and see if that helps out.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/plugin

The bottom of the page in the center is the link to download.

The new vs. does not use tables and ‘might’ help make it look a little better out of the box.

*keep in mind:

that is the nightly beta vs. although it does seem pretty stable to me.

Under the wp-admin Settings -> Forums

http://screensnapr.com/v/fg2dNB.png

notice the last choice? check that, and if you are running WordPress 3.3 and bbPress 2x, it should show up.

The bbcode is going to take a special process to convert. I mean what in the world does ‘b:twwr5fiw’ mean anyhow? Notice that when you paste it in here, bbPress is not converting it?

Just like with WordPress where anyone can register anything as a ‘bbcode’ there is no standard between software packages, much less between single sites even. Other than a few standard ones my bbcodes are totally different than yours for example.

In those instances, I can almost guarantee it would require a custom setup. I know AWJunkies was offering this service at one time.

I personally have no idea how it would even work because what are the definitions for the original bbcodes?

My best guess is that AWJunkies would have to go through each persons install one at a time in order to check for bbcode definitions, plugin by plugin, and then create a custom translator.

I did send him a message, but I’m guessing that his office is closed for the holidays as I didn’t hear back from him.

[ebiznet88]

bjj and I have the same concern here. I too have posted above similar results with the conversion. My board has been converted and the strange codes remain.

I tried editing the post to the original bbcode but it doesn’t work.

Does bbPress use bbcode at all? I thought it does…

[bjj_pl]

Is it normal that Converter completely destroys all the phpbb3 bbcode ??

Example:

[b:twwr5fiw]Stacks:[/b:twwr5fiw]

[b:twwr5fiw]UTG nuskei ([color=#0000cc:twwr5fiw]$100[/color:twwr5fiw]) [/b:twwr5fiw]

[b:twwr5fiw]CO 52823824 ([color=#0000cc:twwr5fiw]$136.25[/color:twwr5fiw]) [/b:twwr5fiw]

BTN buckeystevez ([color=#0000cc:twwr5fiw]$113.50[/color:twwr5fiw])

SB Schuks000 ([color=#0000cc:twwr5fiw]$57.75[/color:twwr5fiw])

BB fsnzr ([color=#0000cc:twwr5fiw]$106.75[/color:twwr5fiw])

Well, does anyone know how to fix such things?

I was testing the bbPress because I was dissatisfied with BuddyPress … I give up of bbPress too.. you must have confidence in a forum script to put into production .. I do not trust in bbPress… do not recommend..

Hi peeps,

I have once before integrated an older release of bbPress 2 which worked fine, i was able to get all the templates to inherit from the activate WordPress theme but in the latest release that inheritance seems to have stopped working for me. Here’s a rundown of what i have done:

1. Copied all the files from within /bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten to the current theme i have activated
2. I have merged the activate themes functions.php file with the functions.php file from bbp-twentyten and removed the extra 2 occurrences for style.css
3. Re-named all occurrences of Twenty-Ten to %THEME_NAME%
4. Ensured add_theme_support('bbpress') exists at the top of my activate themes functions.php file

I have tried everything i physically can, i can modify the files within my themes bbpress folder but just am unable to get the page-* files to respect my changes. I have more then likely overlooked something but i have spent a good 1-2 hours reading through thread after thread and have come up empty handy.

Thanks in advanced.

I wanted bbPress moderation, so just hacked up an ugly set of filters to mark new topics/replies as pending rather than published.

It may be sufficient for your needs.

I installed the bbpress okay without incident. I created a forum, looked at it in preview, updated it so the forum was created. I created a page so the permalink would show the same as the forum but it won’t pull up the identical url. I manually entered it. Not working. Any suggestions. I just need to link a menu tab/button to my forum. Wondering why the settings doesn’t create the page and link it.

Thanks. nationalpreppersassociation.org

[justinrm]

I’d love to know more on this too.

I figured that you’d be able to override default bbpress pages with custom pages containing shortcodes and changes to the permalink structure.

I haven’t been able to achieve this and I’m struggling to find information on the logic behind all this.

Hi all.

I started trying to import my bbpress and upgrade to 2.0. However I get :

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/www/roskilde-open.dk/forum/bb-includes/functions.bb-forums.php on line 84

No forums found

Any suggestions? I tried googling and reading other topics, but they didn’t seem to apply to my problem

[marius2z]

Does anyone know whether it’s possible to solve this /blog/forum/ issue and eventually how to setup bbPress plugin?

[offbeatempire]

Does anyone with BuddyPress+bbpress experience have any insight on this issue? BuddyPress 1.6 is a long way off…

[Anointed]

I’ll ask AWJunkies to jump in and take a peek at these requests for you guys.

[ebiznet88]

I am now in the midst of converting my phpBB3 forum to bbpress using this converter. I am having to keep refreshing the page every few hundred posts as it keeps stalling. I’m now at around post 15000 being converted. I have 47,000 posts, so there’s still some ways to go.

I have checked the converted posts results in the meantime and noticed that for posts with images, using phpBB’s BBCodes [img]tags, these posts contain strange characters. An example:
[img:33mwiaq9]http://www.swafineart.com/images/30.4.07/images/NightOfHeros_lr.jpg[/img:33mwiaq9]
Night of Heroes – The Dambusters by Philip West.

The original phpBB post would have read:

Night of Heroes – The Dambusters by Philip West.

I would like to ask if the Converter doesn’t retain the bbcodes as is, but introduces these strange characters? Or is this part of the conversion process and after it is completed, I should see it return to normal?

[Noirnoir]

Please help

I am using bbPress as a plugin for my wordpress site and I can’t figure out how to change the color of text in posts, it is too pale to read.

[supergavo]

I would like to create a guest blogging library where writers can share articles for posting to blogs – a guest blog posting service similar in nature and setup to

http://myblogguest.com/

Would bbpress be a wise choice for this use ?

thank you

[davidzweig]

I have a wordpress site ( soviettruck.com ), and would like like to add the bbpress forum plugin. The theme I have (Adventure Photography WordPress Theme 2.0) does not have the necessary template/CCS file for bbpress. This means the forums do not display properly. This needs fixing. Also soviettruck.com/forums gives a ‘Not Found’.. maybe needs some additional config?

Offering $40 by paypal if someone can fix this ASAP, should be pretty quick. Send me an email at davidzweig at hotmail dot com, and I’ll send you the SSH/FTP/Wordpress passwords. Site is hosted by Webfaction.

Once the CSS/template file is fixed, I’ll then use shortcodes to integrate the forum into the rest of the site.

[itryit]

Can anyone advise how to edit / remove the “You may use these HTML tags and attributes” section and enter your “website” from the reply form in bbpress?

“Home › Forums” displays children post or category as a title.

What’s more it shows different title for different browsers.

Examples (in my case):

“Home › Forums” – in Firefox: title “stare”

“Home › Forums” – in IE8 and Chrome: title: “KONKURS FTP ACADEMY”

http://forumpokerowe.com/forum/

I cleaned the cache for the browsers.

How to change it? Can i at least hardcode it somehow? What do You think?
