I am having the same exact problem. I don’t understand what it is I’ve done wrong, if anything.

Hello guys, so I was able to convert my punbb forum at last. Firstly I have installed a stand alone version of bbpress 1.1 and then ran the script from this post https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/punbb-gt-bbpress . The conversion was a success with minor errors (in the forum names, etc.), which I corrected manually.

Then I installed your converter while I was still running bbpress 1.1 and the conversion completed but the Replies weren’t linked to the Topics and Forums. I then uninstalled bbpress 1.1 and installed bbpress 2.0, realized the problem and ran the script again with the Clean option. Now the conversion completed without problems and everything was nicely converted! Thank you very much for this tool!

Yet I am still facing a minor problem, which was already described by Ed – at the beginning of every topic I have an empty post by admin.. I didn’t have it in the bbpress 1.1 version so I guess that the mistake must have done during the bbpress1 to bbpress2 conversion. Due to this mistake all the topics are listed as started by admin…

I would very much appreciate if you could advise me on how to get rid of the empty posts as I really didn’t get it yet. Also if you would release a new version of the converter that would face this issue, I would be more than happy to try it. Otherwise I can definitely recommend this way of punbb to bbpress2 conversion as I am a real newbie in all this stuff and yet was able to accomplish everything.

All the best to all of you, Misha

Well I can confirm that the latest and compatible versions of both these plugins are now definitely available on wordpress.org

I’ve set up a test forum with pretty much just these two plugins active and you can see the results here:

Hi,

Is there a way to import forums, topics and users from phpBB database to bbPress?

[Trobee]

Hello All

I am currently experiencing an issue where when viewing my forums, every post has no content in it. You can however see the content when you are trying to edit the post, or when you look from the backend admin menu.

I have tried changing themes, deactivating my plugins, using a fresh install of bbpress but nothing so far has helped.

Anyone with any ideas on why this might be happening?

Hi _ck_ I hope you are listening to me!

bbPress attachment is working fine. but

— Is it possible to hide/disable attachment functionalities when a user replying to a topic?

— I mean, When a user creating a topic (post-form.php/bbpressdotorg/forums/?new=1) then only attachments should work.

–Otherwise when topic is open, then plugin should not show in threading. like I don’t want to show attachments in bbpressdotorg/forums/topic/not-allowed-attachments-in-threading-so-create-every-new-topic-to-upload-stuff

Please let me know your thoughts on it. Thanks

Hello, I would like to convert existing punbb forum into bbpress, I already have a script https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/punbb-gt-bbpress but I really don’t know how to import the data when bbpress is now using wp_posts table instead of wp_forum_forums etc. tables .

Is there any way how to configure bbpress to use its standard tables so that the import would be possible? If not, then I would have to do everything manually through excel but I would still appreciate if you could help me with the wp_posts structure for forums, posts, etc. How do I specify what is a forum, what a category, what a topic, etc.?

I have to add that I am absolutely inexperienced in forum conversion, php scripts and have some limited knowledge of the database (was already able to convert data from nucleus to WP). I however really need to accomplish this conversion asap and I am willing to play with the tables, lol.

Would very much appreciate your help! Thank you!

Howdy,

I’m working on a bbPress Standalone version, Is is possible to restrict to choose some predefined tags during creating a topic?

Lets suppose, I’ve created 100 specific tags for my forums. I don’t want to allow users to add more tags. That’s why I want to add these tags list into template’s “post-form.php” so that user can choose predefined list of my tags then they can choose forums and after that they can add topic.

Like I’m looking the following fields:

—-

Topic title: <input default field>

Post Field: <Input default field>

Pick a section: < drop-down default forums field >

Pick a Tag:<drop-down/checkbox my predefined tags>

Then Submit

—-

I digg into bbPress, and I found the following solution:

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/limit-tags-to-a-pre-defined-list

It is working fine on Topic page. But I need exact thing but on post form.

Can anyone help me to achieve this?

I will be great thankful!

Oops I meant to say lines 938 and 939 in bbp-user-template.php.

[sjd4]

The change for bbp-common-template.php worked for the logout, but for the login for the widget I had to comment out lines 938 and 939:

//$redirect_to = apply_filters( ‘bbp_user_login_redirect_to’, ” );

//bbp_redirect_to_field( $redirect_to );

I still have problems using the the WordPress meta for log out. Has anyone figured anymore of this out?

[ns32]

The change to bbp-common-template mentioned above solved this issue for me too.

[master5o1]

No.

Do 2.0 plugins work well with 1.1 software at all? I really don’t like BBPress 2.0

[Argonisius]

Hi,

I was trying to convert my phpBB database to bbPress with Forumconverter. When I start the conversion script, several lines flash on the screen (showing progress) and then the conversion stops at “merging user …”

Can you, please, help me what’s wrong?

Thank you very much.

bbPress templates can’t be selected from the admin as they can, for instance, for a WP page. bbPress looks for the following template files in your *main* WP theme directory in the following order:

1. bbpress.php

2. forum.php

3. page.php

4. single.php

5. index.php

Most themes are going to have page.php by default so it’s likely that bbPress is pulling that as the forums page template. Copying and renaming that to bbpress.php or forum.php will allow you to customize a forum-only page template. NOTE: this is the containing page template (just like for WP pages) and is *not* where you will edit the forum files themselves.

Well, not really. See there’s smart people here and I was merely using the Welcome Pack as an example. I want to know how to insert the users name into the URL path, that’s actually the question. And since there’s just a few folks here who use WordPress, BuddyPress, and yes bbPress, I really think I’m in the right place to ask smart people questions.

[David]

@Nate, @johnjamesjacoby has posted instructions on theme customization (and a lot of discussion has followed) at:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-theme-compatibility

In terms of page templates, bbPress looks for the following in your main WP theme directory (in this order):

1. bbpress.php

2. forum.php

3. page.php

4. single.php

5. index.php

Oops!

Embarrassing user error with svn. Checked the project in without adding the files! Then assumed wordpress was being slow updating the plugin page like it was when I checked in the first version of bbpress2-bbcode.

I have checked it in successfully now. It still isn’t showing up, but I suspect it will now shortly…

[John James Jacoby]

Regarding setting bbPress up and changing the “Forums” title to “Discussion” simply make a page in WordPress titled Discussion with the slug as ‘discussion’ and make sure your forum index is set to ‘discussion’ in your forum settings. Done.

[John James Jacoby]

bbPress 2.0 uses the same database and tables as your WordPress blog. Do not scale to plan, plan to scale. I.E. don’t worry about how big you think your forums will be, worry about how big they need to be. 1gig is plenty huge for a DB, and will be difficult to manage without a dedicated sysadmin. At which point, it’s no longer your issue to labor over.

[John James Jacoby]

Negatively criticizing the development team isn’t the way to get help with things that are specific to your opinions and forum needs. bbPress has historically never been a “full width” forum, and since most WordPress themes aren’t, why would it?

I understand that you are striving for a particular look. If you’d rather spend your time writing content, there are an infinite number of developers in the WordPress community that could probably save you time and headaches. In almost any theme under your control, it shouldn’t take more than 5 minutes to make a full width forum.

[ahammer]

We are looking for a developer who can integrate bbress into two sites for us using the existing themes selected by our clients. Please email andrew [@] thewebfactors [dot] com with contact information and capabilities or send recommendations.

Thanks,

Andrew

you can use short codes listed here:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes

but even easier, if you are ok with the default layout, is to just use the template, “bbPress – Forums (Index)” for the blank forum page you’ve created (under page attributes on the edit page).

Hello bbpress gurus,

First, thanks a lot for this wonderful plugin

Now please forgive my French looking English…

I’m using bbpress on a site where I’d like to show up on some template page a list of recent posts in the forum. get_posts is my friend and that’s ok.

But I’d also like to show a nice picture of the categories in which those recent posts where posted. Well, “regular” posts on WP now can have a “Featured Image”. And I looked to add this to my forums as well.

And I think I made it

But not sure ^^

Anyway

I added this line in bbp-admin/bbp-forums.php :

add_meta_box(‘postimagediv’, __(‘Featured Image’), ‘post_thumbnail_meta_box’, $this->post_type, ‘side’, ‘low’);

in function attributes_metabox() (~ l.190)

And it seems to be working.

But as far as I can tell, there’s maybe 50% luck this code not doing some very bad things in the same time ^^

PLease advice, if there is a better way to achieve this…
