I hadn’t looked into many posts but assumed that the added characters were the same. I thought I could do a simple search and replace in the SQL file, but if it is as bjj_pl says, then this will not work.

I sure hope AWjunkies can jump in here to help us out soon.

Another problem I noticed for my converted forum is that the replies to the original post are missing. So many threads contain only 1 post. Anyone else seeing this?

I’ve installed WP 3.3 and BBPress 2.02 but in settings I show:

Lock post editing after minutes

Throttle time seconds

Allow Revisions Allow topic and reply revision logging

Allow Favorites Allow users to mark topics as favorites?

Allow Subscriptions Allow users to subscribe to topics

Allow Anonymous Posting Allow guest users without accounts to create topics and replies

Per Page

Per page settings for the bbPress plugin

Topics per page

Replies per page

… etcc..

Now all you show me!

Thanks for help me!

i do have a question to all of You,

i mentioned that bbcode was generated with some unwanted code:

[img:33mwiaq9]. It is different for each and every post, so I can’t just use simple UPDATE to get rid of it in “wpp_posts” table.

Does anyone know how to do that?

I can’t use:

UPDATE wpp_posts SET post_content = replace(post_content,”[img:33mwiaq9]”,”“)

that would only fix one post and not thousands of them.

I’ve been thinking os using something like:

UPDATE wpp_posts SET post_content = replace(post_content,'[b%’,’‘)

but that wouldn’t work either. It is always 8 signs that I have to delete in each bbcode tag.

Hi, call me a noob but I am running BBPress Integration plugin version 1.0 and a few weeks ago, people cannot upload images, it just says: Attachments

[jpg] [denied mime] bird-collage.jpg (86.2 KB)

when I try to upload a picture in a post. Any solutions? I’m running WordPress 3.3.

I have a few sites running on WordPress. I love the simplicity and the expandability. However, I have experienced that the more plugins I add, the slower the site becomes. Techies tell me that this is because WordPress loads all the plugins every time a page loads.

My question is that if I install bbpress, will it make my WordPress site slow? Specifically, when I am on WordPress pages (not the bbpress part), will the bbpress code still be loaded?

Additionally, I have found that buddypress has this fatal flaw in that it wipes out the whole WordPress cache (not just buddypress parts) whenever someone logs in. Is this true for bbpress as well? I use a cheap shared host, and my site can not survive without caching as static, so this is critical…

[SK]

On the download page http://bbpress.org/download/ I see that the WP plugin is available in v 2.0.2 while standalone version is 1.1

No release dates are given for either, and the blog http://bbpress.org/blog/ doesn’t seem to refer to 2 different strains…it simply refers to bbpress 2.0.2…

So, I’m wondering…has the standalone version been discontinued?

[Tammy Hart]

I have a multisite installation with pretty much nothing on it. I installed bbPress, didn’t network activate it, activated it on my main site, and the main forums page works, but nothing else. I just get my plain page.php template, not the bbPress twenty-ten child theme templates.

So I tried dumping the templates into my theme. Still nothing. I switched the site’s theme to twenty ten and all of the pages work great. Switch back to my theme, and it’s not working.

I tried adding the add_theme_support in, nothing. Then I uploaded 2.1-bleeding, still nothing. I put the theme on a non multisite installation, installed bbpress, same results. I installed bbPress on another site using a theme i’ve created, worked fine. So.. I’m missing something somewhere in my theme, and It’s driving me nuts. Any insight at all would be most appreciated.

[John James Jacoby]

Chris – would probably need to access your installation and play with it. It sounds like everything should be working. This will also be easier in bbPress 2.1.

[John James Jacoby]

^ Not very helpful criticism.

What didn’t you like? What was your experience? It’s very possible the problems you experienced weren’t even with bbPress.

[Anointed]

#1 yeah, that’s kinda how it works right now. It’s in need of some love.

#2 https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-no-admin/ removes ability for users to post bbPress content in admin area.

#3 When doing it that way, there is a forum and topic selection dropdown on the right hand side above where you publish the post. The idea being that a user can select the forum and topic right there.

I really think that is more just a quick way for an admin to post a reply, though I can’t see why I would ever use it myself.

#4 probably a bug.

There are also plenty of code snippets online in order to completely remove the admin bar or remove menu’s from the bar if you want. Pretty much just decide what you want to do and check google for the code snippets or plugins.

[Anointed]

Yeah, I’m not sure how to get it to work. I just tried it myself, and while I get no errors, I am not able to use shortcodes in my forum topics. Maybe JJ, or someone will jump in and let us know how to properly whitelist shortcodes.

*I know I have my site setup correctly as I can use shortcodes in my other custom post-types. Best guess is that bbPress has some rather strong filtering going on or something. Which btw is not a bad thing, would just help to know what/why it’s happening.

[bjj_pl]

@ebiznet “I tried editing the post to the original bbcode but it doesn’t work. Does bbPress use bbcode at all? I thought it does…”

I suggest install and activate “bbPress2 BBCode” wordpress plugin.

[Satish]

Thanks a lot, but once I install that plugin, my forum goes down

I’m using the plugin version of bbpress.

I’m using WP-Syntax plugin to display some program codes on my blog.

It uses this syntax:

“Syntax highlighting using GeSHi supporting a wide range of popular languages. Wrap code blocks with <pre lang=”LANGUAGE” line=”1″> and where LANGUAGE is a geshi supported language syntax. The line attribute is optional.”

I want to use the same syntax even on my forum.

[warheadflea]

Thanks Anointed. I am using nightly.

Forum looking good now. Just need to edit css abit.

These codes eg. “:twwr5fiw” are NOT added by the converter, they are actually in the raw phpbb database tables, phpbb strips these codes before rendering on the page display.

The converter is copying the content correctly and in essence before running the converter you need to strip these from your phpbb installation first.

I haven’t found an easy way to do this yet but that is what stage I am up to before trying my next conversion. More info can be found by looking around phpbb.com for “Magic URL” & “Short URL” though I haven’t found much that could actually help us out here. It looks like I will try replacing the eg. “:twwr5fiw” & “<! — m –>” info manually with search and replace SQL Update queries directly into the phpbb database tables before conversion.

[ebiznet88]

Thanks for your help in this, Anointed One

Happy New Year 2012, everyone here! May the new year be a good and happy one for all!

[Anointed]

If that extra info is being added during the conversion then something is wrong with the bbcodes converter that bbconverter is using. I will let AWJunkies know about it when he gets back in the office.

thanks for the heads up

[ebiznet88]

One solution I can think of to correct this issue is to go through the SQL file and do a search and replace of this string of characters.

But, as I said in my post earlier, I tried removing the characters so that the original bbcode is restored, in this case the [img]tags, but the post still did not display the image correctly.

Any thoughts on this, anyone?

[Anointed]

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

[ebiznet88]

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.

[Anointed]

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.

[Anointed]

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.

[Anointed]

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?
