are you on latest bbpress 1x? My tests are working so may need another set of sample data to test to see what is going on. Also check to see if you have a table called bbconverter_translator
Congrats on the stable release! I myself have been waiting to download it until all the kinks have been worked out. Downloaded this morning, and everything is better than I expected. GREAT JOB!
Quick question – sorry if it was already covered. I am currently using BBPress (standalone) version 1.1 and WordPress 3.2.1. I wanted to start using the BBpress plug-in. Are there any migration tools that allow an import from the standalone software to the plug-in?
Thanks for any information!

Hello Adam, congratulations to you wedding! I really appreciate that you work in the converter even thought you have so much other stuff to do! Wow!
I have upgraded the converter just now and tried twice to convert the standalone bbpress 1.0 forum. But I had a problem – all the posts were converted as topics instead of posts 
. Do you have any clue why is that and how can I fix it? I had no such problem with the previous version of bbconverter (there I had the problem with the duplicate first post/reply on topics).
Regarding the wp_users, I just tried to delete the e-mail addresses in the database and convert the users without the e-mail address. I hope that in this way the authors of the posts will be shown but at the same time my users might register again to my new site using their e-mail address. Hope it will work…
thank you very much for your help! All the best from Misha
Hi, I’m running the current versions of wordpress/buddypress with the current bbpress plugin. I’d like to return usernames instead of real names in the forum, or user_login names instead of user_id names. I’m not sure where to make the adjustments. Any advice?
Is anyone familiar with a Like button for bbPress/BuddyPress? I’m looking for one that lets users “Like” posts on the forums (liking pages and blog posts would be nice, too, but I’m not picky). I’ve looked around on the plugin forum here and I’ve tried multiple searches, but the results are always the same: It’s either a Facebook like button or its the BuddyPress Like (which appears to be all but dead in the water). If anyone is familiar with an option that I’ve somehow overlooked, I would greatly appreciate a point in the right direction.
In summary: I’m looking for a “Like” button that does not use Facebook and allows users to like individual forum posts.
Hi yuliang,
there’s a plugin called Wysiwyg CKEditor (https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/wysiwyg-ckeditor/), but I’m not sure if it will work with bbPress 2.
Not finished yet, so don’t expect them to work until beta.
Hey Justin the IP stuff is old I tested _bbp_author_ip which is the meta for storing for bbpress. But it doesn’t work. That code you see is error on my part for got to push that edit live but it is tested on my end. So I need to look into it further.
Also make sure to run all the bbpress counters. After the conversion is done it has a link to do so. If you do not do so it will not link up all the forums/topics/posts you are saying is an issue with assigning. So make sure to run counters and should have 0 issues.
Thanks for the info, will get right on it.
Feedback on version 1.2:
I moved my database from my live site to my computer so that I could test this out. All of the forums, topics, posts, and tags transferred just fine. The three issues I ran into are:
1) Topics don’t get assigned a forum.
2) Replies don’t get assigned a forum.
3) Replies don’t get assigned a topic.
From what I can tell, this is because the plugin is using _bbc_* as the post meta keys when it should be using _bbp_*. Also, the author IP meta key has an additional underscore in its prefix: __bbc_author_ip.
@Misha
Not really possible as it goes completely against the way that WordPress works. Not having an author assigned to a topic would leave it helplessly orphaned.
Even if it were somehow possible, would take some serious magic from Adam, I am certain this would be a paid project. You can always fill out the contact form for a bid over on bbconverter, but as I said, it’s so edge case that I’m not certain it would happen.
Adam, congratulations on your upcoming wedding and marriage!
Many thanks for continuing to help us all here with your work on the phpBB converter. Your post is so tantalising to me and I’m sure others as well, and I’m just wondering when “updated real soon” might be…! 
I’m also interested to hear your reply, as well as anointed’s, to MishaOLS’s question on converting another forum’s users to bbpress without also converting to WP’s database of users. I’m not exactly sure why I might also want that for my own forum (now and in the future), but I’m interested to hear your views on this anyway
New update is available now version 1.2. Please test it out. I will have phpbb3 tested and updated real soon. Sorry again for the delays guys. Getting married on the 27th of December so been slammed with wedding stuff.

I installed bbpress 2.0.2. It works fine with wordpress. However, I cannot see the editor bar when creating/editing topics and replies. I am wondering whether there is a way I can use the editor in wordpress or something similar?
Appreciate any help and information.
Looking for the same and will follow this thread to see if we can get an answer. Thanks for posting the question.
created a log in page as well using the same process
1) created a new page named “Log in”
2) added the following code in HTML:
[bbp-login]
<h1>To Register</h1>
[bbp-register]
3) added that page to my secondary menu

Still working on a layout for the forum homepage/landing page and having issues with some of the other short codes for forum and topic indexes
Hi there!
I have created a new user on my new bbpress installation, with the role of ‘forum participant,’ which I assume means access to the forums.
However it doesn’t seem to be working out! (see screen capture at http://simplemethod.ca/wp-content/uploads/forum-not-working.jpg)
Thanks wondering what I’m doing wrong! Appreciate this great plugin so far it has been a joy to use.
Best Regards,
Drew
Amazing, Pairmybeer, a simple and elegant answer — it works — many thanks!
Got your twitter message but could not reply back. Need to send you private links. New vs. is much improved.
I’ve done a site with 300k posts, and I know Adam has one with over a million so 100k should be just fine.
See this post for your answer. I had the same issue and resolved it with this. Just a couple of steps.
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/page-in-menu#post-88982
Sounds good. I haven’t started my third test yet.
My plan is to convert the Theme Hybrid forums over in the near future. There’s something like 100K+ posts on there, so I’m running this locally to see how it goes.
I am using WP 3.3-RC2 + latest nightlies of bbpress 2.1 and BuddyPress 1.6. I am trying to get BuddyPress’s group forums replaced by bbpress. Once I disable “Discussion Forums” settings in Buddypress then bbpress settings will show me the option “Allow BuddyPress Groups to have their own forums”.
I can’t get it to work. Is this still in development or am I doing something wrong? Following trac timeline I thought this should work now.
Can someone please clear me up or guide me through the process to get Buddypress group forums working with this bbpress setting???
Unfortunately I don’t like BuddyPress Group forums…
Hi,
I’m running a bbPress 2 within BuddyPress, so bbp_reply_author_link(); links to the BuddyPress profile – domain.com/members/username. I’d like to change that link so that the username links to the WordPress author page (domain.com/author/userame). Changing the user slug in the bbPress settings to “author” didn’t help. 
So – how is it possible to change that link or alternatively to display the username only, without any link?
Thanks,
neontrauma
