They talk about one “standalone importer” plugin.. but it is some kind of ghost plugin
it is not present in the bbpress.org plugins
it is not present in the wordpress.org plugins
but it does exists
I’m too in your situation.
I’ve installed and activated the bbpress 2.0.2 plugin in my wordpress… now what?
Thank you for any tip
Cor
One kind explanation…
where is this plugin?
I mean, I own a standalone bbpress forum (Version 0.9x)
I also own a wordpress forum
I’ve installed and activated the bbpress 2.0.2 plugin
How to import the standalone bbpress into the WP plugged-in bbpress installation?
Searching “standalone importer” on both wordpress.org and bbpress.org plugins sections, doesn’t return any plugin named “standalone importer”
One additional tip. once I’ve imported the standalone’s data, how is it supposed to be accessed the “new” forum? (from the blog’ visitors point of view)
Thank you for any advice and hint

Hello,
I’m sure this is an easy question for you, but I can’t figure it out…
I’m trying to get rid of the text shadow that my theme probably put on the text of bbpress. I went through bbpress.css and inserted “text-shadow: none;” into every field that looked like a text field.
I was able to get rid of all shadows except for the text in the forum topic reply box. Including: Author, Posts, “Add this topic to your favorites”, Subscribe, The date, The reply text.
Can someone please tell me where the settings for this info is? Thanks so much!
(After 9 months.)
And now ? As i’m understand WP plugin (bbPress 2.0.2) is best solution to work with wordpress ?

Brilliant!
Not sure why nor do I care at this stage, just converted 30,000 posts, 6,000 topics & 2,000 users from phpbb to bbPress.
I haven’t looked at users (or any db tables) just some posts and links are getting converted funkily:
Edit: Removed examples as formatting makes the issue extremely unclear
Where does the standard bbPress 2.0.2 plugin place the database/tables inside the WordPress structure? I am a novice and I can not find the database/tables to remove completely from my site so I can re-install in a different configuration. Can anyone tell me where to look and what the typical naming is for the database/tables with the actual data in it? Thanks. (I tried looking in the forum, but I had no luck.)
I would check out the “Example.php” file for info on how to create a converter. It is pretty self explanatory to any developer. We made it extremely easy to create conversion files. All you have to do is create the mapping and the system does everything else for you.
In bbPress, after I set the time zone to UTC-5 in “Settings” ->”General Settings”, it gave me the following error
and now whenever I go to “Settings” it only shows this error and won’t show my settings to make changes.
How do I fix this?
I don’t know if it matters, but my bbPress is integrated with WP.
This is the error:
Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘Exception’ with message ‘DateTimeZone::__construct() [datetimezone.–construct]: Unknown or bad timezone (UTC-5)’ in /data/16/1/21/63/1836226/user/1992360/htdocs/wordpress1/bbpress/bb-admin/options-general.php:180 Stack trace: #0 /data/16/1/21/63/1836226/user/1992360/htdocs/wordpress1/bbpress/bb-admin/options-general.php(180): DateTimeZone->__construct(‘UTC-5’) #1 {main} thrown in /data/16/1/21/63/1836226/user/1992360/htdocs/wordpress1/bbpress/bb-admin/options-general.php on line 180
Is there a schematic for the bbpress forum/post/userlog/etc databases? I have a custom forum with a lot of posts that I’d like to import into bbpress but I’m going to be doing it myself. Is the code in your importer script clear enough so that I could do something?
It would be cool if there was a simple universal xml file one could create with all the data for bbpress and import it that way.
Thanks.
Anybody can answer this? I got a list of users in my db, password is md5 encrypted, can this be used as the user database for bbpress as well, so my users dont have to signup for the forum as well as the main site?

Woohoo! Thank you, Adam! I’m going to now convert my phpBB3 forum to bbpress2.
I’ll report back on how it went.
Thanks again, Adam 
Hmmm, can I do that into another WP / bbPress site or does it have to be into the same installation that my current WP installation with the posts is running in?
And can it only convert a particular category as well I.e I’ve already set a ‘Forum’ category for the posts I’d like to convert.
Thanks for your help thus far too
If we were having this discussion 2 years ago we would have been talking about MySpace, before that possibly MSN messenger signings, and definitely before that AoL signing. No-one has made a point about why we should develop something into the core of BBpress that is dependent on the popularity and propriety software of another company.

Hello, I’ve been trying to install bbpress and I keep getting this message.
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 122880 bytes) in /home/assoc786/public_html/wp-admin/admin-header.php on line 122
What should I do to fix this? I promised client he could have a forum with his BuddyPress site.
Thankt you.

Goal: Add BuddyPress with GROUP forums using bbPress.
Situation: Current WordPress has bbPress installed as a SINGLE forum. BuddyPress is not installed yet.
Problem: (on a test WordPress site) When I add BuddyPress, bbPress uses existing files and shows up as a SINGLE forum and will NOT show up as a GROUP forum.
Q1. How do I remove/restructure bbPress so I can add BuddyPress with bbPress as a GROUP forum? (I am ok with losing current bbPress data, but would prefer to backup for a different use.)
Q2. WHERE is current bbPress forum DATABASE so I can copy (then remove) it before I install BuddyPress with Group Forums using bbPress?
Thank you for help!

Thanks for info!
Actually as WordPress allows it, I installed files in physical folder domain.com/wp, while users access the blog via domain.com/blog.
In such setup, is it possible to separate the forum from blog and access it via domain.com/forum?

Hey
I got a site with a simple php login system, is it possible to integrate bbpress with this, so my users dont have to register again for the forum, can these be connected with simple php?
Thanks
Rastarr, you may try converting your WordPress blog into bbPress standalone forums via http://code.google.com/p/wordpress-to-bbpress-converter/ and then use the bbPress plugin importer to import from the bbPress standalone. Please have a backup, cheers!
Well, it’s 7 months since the last comment and I’m wondering whether anything official did actually ‘come down the pipe’?
I’ve just converted my Drupal site over to a locally running WordPress / bbPress installation however all previous forums from my Drupal site are currently WP Posts since they’ve retained the comment structure.
I’m able to convert the Posts to Topics however the comments remain elusive, presumably since Replies are a custom content type and, for whatever reason, comments aren’t a content type. At least nothing that’s recognised by the converting plugin that I found.
Being able to convert a WP Post with comments to a Topic with Replies is about the only thing now that’s stopping the converted site from going live.
Any suggestions would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks
Martin
@monoman – If WordPress is installed in a physical folder named ‘blog’ you won’t be able to easily put bbPress in any other folder. There are advanced ways of making this work, but you’d want to hire a pro to make it go (or do some digging into moving your WP install and/or sharing user tables between installs.)
