@JJJ That did the trick. Thanks!

@citizenkeith – bbPress was doing some wp-login.php hi-jacking, and that’s been removed now. Try the most recent revision and let me know if it’s still happening?

I have tried and tried to make this work and searched forums high and low but have not had any luck making bbPress work with Buddypress.

I have done the following (In the following order):

Fresh install of WP 3.1.2

Fresh install of Buddypress 1.2.8

Then I went to Buddypress > Forums Setup > setup a new bbPress installation

(I even tried a separate install of bbPress but kept getting “page cannot be displayed” errors when going to the URL to set it up.)

I see a Forums menu now and created a group called Public.

BUT, how to add add Main topics like “General Discussion”, “Questions”, etc and allow users to create sub-topics? (Like every other forum on the web.)

All I want is for users to visit my site and be able to see main and sub-topics and then read the forums. Then if they want to participate, create an account and login in… again, just like most other sites with forums on the webs.

And I’ll even volunteer to write documentation on the entire process if only I could understand it. It seem that things are assumed (such as created Groups being mandetory) only they aren’t well documented.

WP forums have some instructions, BP has some more and this site even more. Only it appears that none seem ot overlap and some important info is missing.

It’s like getting a shiny new car only no one told you that you need to add an extra part to make it work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So I’ve just migrated an large, but insanely spam-infested vBulletin forum over to bbPress (via phpBB3). The migration wasn’t really smooth, but I was able to at least get the data across.

Now that I have everything up and running in bbPress, I want to bulk-scan all the existing posts for spam. Would that be possible to somehow run the akismet plugin in against all the existing posts to sort out all the spam posts? We’re talking a rather large forum here (200k+ posts).

[alexis_nomine]

just add these to your functions.php file to disable wp-login.php redirect:

remove_filter( ‘login_redirect’, ‘bbp_redirect_login’, 2, 3 );

remove_filter( ‘login_url’, ‘bbp_login_url’, 2, 2 );

remove_filter( ‘logout_url’, ‘bbp_logout_url’, 2, 2 );

I am using the Maintenance Mode plugin for WP until I launch my new site. With bbPress plugin installed, I am redirected from /wp-admin to /login. The only way to login is to delete the bbPress plugin or the Maintenance Mode plugin.

Just a word of warning for those who may be doing the same…

Quick localizationlanguage question…

if i want to display the forum in another language, (only what the user sees admin panel can stay in english) what do i need to translate? i opened bbpress.php and found:

// Forum labels

// Topic labels

// Reply labels

// Topic tag labels

found some more labels on php files here:

bbp-themesbbp-twentyten

what do i need to translate in order to have bbpress in another language (only what the user sees)?

[Ladyelav]

I’ve been trying to install bbpress to my local host. I download and extract the file, and then rename it Forums. It is then in my directory for the site. When I enter the link for the local host and /Forums, I get all these deprecated errors. what I’m I doing wrong?

Please help!

I can now see that you’ve fixed the issue with the new topic form displaying the last topic or post in the “Create new topic in: “the name of the last forum/last post” section. However the new topic form now appears on the forum index page which it was not there originally. I assume that this shouldn’t be there either?

[jonkristian]

Ok no problem, happy to help:) By that, do you also know why the replies aren’t coming up unless i edit each reply and hit update?

Or is that more a migration issue?

[ishanexd]

Basically I tried to change the time zone and it gave me a server error; http error 500. I thought it was from something I changed so I downloaded bbpress and replaced my options-general.php with the stock file. I can no longer access general settings now and I am unsure as to why. Thanks for the help.

[John James Jacoby]

Thanks for testing that. I’ll take a look at what’s going on. I think I know wha’s up.

The first image looks fine to me. Probably some post text is showing up before the proceed statement.

In the second image, there is an error saying that there was a url that was long and is not allowed in bbPress. You would have to probably remove those manually and re-run the script.

The third is also an error. Please delete all topics and posts from the database, not from the front-end as it doesn’t actually deletes them.

During migration something is missing, the permalinks in replies contains the original title, which makes them unusable.

I tried running a mass edit on all replies but that did not work. strangely, only when editing a reply manually did it work.

Some feedback (All errors in the backend):

– Pagination returns internal server error for replies.

– I cannot filter by topics in replies, works fine in topics.

– Date filtering also returns internal server error.

– Search replies also returns internal server error.

I did change the view on replies to list all of them, then i mass edited forcing the permalinks to get updated, that did not work.

But it works when editing each reply manually.

[jonkristian]

Looking great! Still not able to pick up replies when viewing, they come up fine in the backend though.

EDIT: Just figured out why replies aren’t showing up, it’s because the permalinks contains the title, in this case it came up with spaces.

Any way to automatically convert all replies with usable permalinks?

Never mind, I just ran bulk edit and then hit the update button and voila, new permalinks:)

[John James Jacoby]

@miruru – Yep, same as before.

I fixed some issues with conflicting $post globals and multiple queries and loops tonight. Was a regression from some $wp_query clean-up I did a few days ago. Apologies.

Aiming for alpha release going in WP plugin repo and available in your dashboards on Wednesday, barring any unforeseen disasters. So test!

[miruru]

As the bbp theme is now a child theme, will the code: add_theme_support( 'bbpress' ); still work?

Edit: I’ve managed to answer my own question. I thought the bbpress folder was in my theme but it wasn’t. It’s now there and working.

Keep up the great work on this as so far it’s fantastic.

[jonkristian]

One thing regarding themeing. It would be awesome if we could use all default templates, but exclude the css only.

I have successfully moved by vbulletin site into phpbb3 and now ready to finalize the moved to bbpress. I had done a test on this process twice in the past and confirmed the steps and all that jazz but the last part is where I always get hung up.

Generally in the integration of the bbpress and wp users and logins.

Seems that may be again the issue but even prior to converting the data into bbpress.

My current site is a WPMU and has buddypress with bbpress standalone already connected. So, there is no bb_users table. When I run the convertor it of course is looking for that table and returns an error which kills the process.

knowing how sensitive this dang thing is I thought I would ask for some advice and help first prior to just trying to create tables and/or modify this convertor files. Both things I truly have little clue on how to do properly.

Some added info – I do have a users table and that is what is connected to WP and the last step in the conversation process is actually to rename the bp_user table to users if you intend to use WP for your users versus BBP. This is something I don’t want to change as it currently works just fine.

Finally, incase someone has a completely other solution here is what I got..

PHPBB3 has all my posts and users and is installed on the same domain as WPMU and BBP. It is also sharing the same database.

I have confirmed the phpbb forum works just fine with the users and my WPMU with BBP also works just fine. I would like to dump the phpbb and use bbp. I then am hoping to check into the bbp plugin.

Thank for all help and advice.
