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.

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.
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:)
@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!
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.
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.
I went ahead and installed the plugin, also migrated from a standalone forum, it’s looking pretty good but I get a Internal Sever Error when visiting Replies, anyone else have this problem?
Also, none of the replies comes up in any topics, is this a migration issue or is it just that the code isn’t finished?
General update – bbp-twentyten has been converted back into a child theme of twentyten. It was previously made a parent theme to make development easier, but now that theme compatibility is mostly finished, it’s no longer necessary. This cuts down on the size of the installable by almost half, avoids inadvertently forking the TwentyTen theme (we shouldn’t need to keep on top of updates) and should set a better example on how to make a compatible bbPress child theme for your existing theme.
Theme theme theme… theme.
@jaja.. – That is strange, because I’m also on MAMP on OSX.
@spiralspeaks – The permalink structure is a product of the way that WordPress handles them. Thankfully it shares this with BackPress/bbPress so it should match existing installs to new installs without skipping a beat. Custom post types, however, currently require their ‘slug’ to precede the actual post_name, which is how WordPress knows which template to serve up.
I can’t get it work locally.
I can do whatever i want but the WordPress admin doesn’t find the plugin in the plugin folder.
While if i place the bbPress plugin inside my online WP version i can activate the plugin and i will get the msg to switch to a different (twentyten theme)
Very strange this local bug.
Using MAMP on a Mac OSX.
Good Evening,
Hey there… I wanna ask how can I fix this thing…
I recently found bbPress plugin, it is great to be installed in a wordpress blog it promotes more interaction for the site. so i installed bbPress in my blog.. but my problem is…
The url for the forums is too long… when the forum base is present..
:bbpress.org/ forums/ forum/ tutorial-guide/
I want to shorten it
from :bbpress.org/ forum base/ forum/ tutorial-guide/
to :bbpress.org/forum base/ tutorial-guide/
plus my concern is if I use
:bbpress.org/ forum base/ forum/
creates duplicate content with
:bbpress.org/ forum base/
and the user profiles
How can I put Latest user post and topics in wordpress profiles??
Any help thanks… I’ll be waiting
Correction its subdomain install
I’ve been out of touch with testing, sorry.
with regard to the bozo and akismet plugins, if these features are in then it would be useful:
ability for admin to differentiate between bozo’ed users posts and posts marked as spam.
ability to set thresholds to stop akismet checking users after x number of posts. this helps when some users get marked as spam all the time, alternatively ability to skip akismet for individual users. Having that in the core akismet would be extremely useful.
Hello,
I’m looking for any Activation Activation PlugIn, to avoid Spam Account.
when a User register now, first he must confirm the registration, and the the Admin can Activate the Accout.
Is any such PlugIn or Feature in bbpress available ?
Thanks
Hello,
I’m looking for a Theme like the current bbpress.org Theme.
is this for Download available ?
I’m using currect the Default Theme, but the Formur field is to small, now i want to change whit another one.
thanks.
YungLion,
I ended up creating the table manually. Using the error information.
So now I can use the bbpress forum but I have raised a new problem regarding navigation links…
Cheers,
AlexB

The default WordPress roles/permissions are really awesome, but there’s no UI to customize them to fit your specific wants and needs. If there’s a need to change the capabilities, that can be done with relative ease with a supplemental plugin to change the defaults. bbPress is meant to be flexible, so it should adapt with whatever you throw at it too.
@JJJ
regarding the wordpress/bbpress theme compatibility… it kind of works with that code in the functions.php file, it works but only for individual pages, look forward for developments on this.
Keep up the good work guys!
I did not find any setting where I could set a required user level in order to view or post on the forum.
i think you can set up user permission for bbpress in the users section in wordpress (admin, colaborator, reader etc)
edit: JJJ explained it better
@binhdo – The login page specifically does some hi-jacking now that it shouldn’t. Regarding permissions, any registered user can view or post in the forums. Only Admins/Super Admins can create/edit/trash/delete forums. Moderators can spam/trash/edit topics and replies. New use roles can be created relatively easily, and there will be both a “Super Moderator” and a remix of the “Bozo” plugin soon after release. Some additional measures were put in place to assure that the ‘default role’ was always able to post in the forums, because in multisite installations it’s possible a registered user may not actually have a role at all.
Regarding your permalink issues earlier, last night I made sure that the WordPress rewrite rules get a hard flush when bbPress is activated, deactivated, and when the settings page is saved. In the future the bbPress ‘slugs’ will get moved to the WordPress Settings -> Permalinks page, alas at the moment there’s a core bug that doesn’t allow the settings API to insert additional fields there.
Another question would be how bbpress handles user permissions. I did not find any setting where I could set a required user level in order to view or post on the forum.
