I’m new to bbPress. I installed version 2.6.5 two days ago and have now created a basic forum, following the instructions in Part 1 of the Step-by-Step guide, to which I have added two topics. I read that the default view on the main Forum page should include an indented sub-list of topics but mine doesn’t. How do I make the sub-list of topics appear?

Hi Guys,

Extremely frustrating, I am using WP 5.5.1 and have installed bbPress to my site.

Recently the login widget has stopped working and as admin I cannot log out of the forum, my login is permanently shown on the site ?!?

Tried multiple re-installs and deleting WP pages but still, the problems remain.

Very grateful for all help!!!

Hi Hamed, the bbPress community always helps others. if I am not giving the right answer. Don’t worry, someone who is an expert will give correctly the answer.

Importing from phpBB ver 3.3.1 into bbPress ver 2.6.5 –

I get a “2. No users to import” warning.
I also get a loop, “8. Converting anonymous topic authors (100 through 100 of 100)”

Is anyone able to help? How much do you want?! I have deliberately not included the URL. If you can help I will provide it.

4000 users will be eternally grateful… (they do exist!)

Thanks,
Stewart

Thanks, Mark, but I’m not sure what you exactly said.

If you mean I ask Xenforo to help me, then that’s pretty much clear they won’t do anything about it. It’s like someone asks you to help him/her to migrate from bbpress to Xenforo. Will you do it? of course not! Why should they help me upgrade your plugin in order to support migrating from their latest version of forum software to yours? (logically they will help those who are using your forum, to migrate to their forum. Not the other way around)

But if I misunderstood, would you mind clarifying it, please?

Hi
I didn’t reinstall bbpress, and when I deleted the role it wasn’t deleted? Why? Did it leave the database table?

[Robin W]

for clarity the reasons it is left are to do with reinstalling bbpress, which since you have deleted means you can delete the role

[lxking]

So, I tried “bbPress WP Tweaks” instead of Custom Sidebars. At first it didn’t work, either. But then I tried a different wrapper… the sidebars were in index.php and now it works.

Hi Heroyouwi, I hope you are happy to answer this. I have tried your phpbb 3.2.9 fix bbpress import script and sadly it failed. I am using phpBB 331 and the latest bbPress. What is the likely issue?
Many thanks.

My website name: mimarlar.online . I created a special forum for Turkish architects with bbpress Is there an easy way to make a mobile app for bbpress? What I want is very simple. Do you know of a paid or free company or web service that does this? thnks for all..

[Robin W]

bbpress leaves this behind for reasons I won’t bore you with.

Without bbpress, the role has nothing it can do, so you can just leave it.

If you want to get rid of it (and I can understand if you do) then it is just a wordpress role, so see

How to Delete User Roles from a WordPress Site

[uksentinel]

I have noticed this on other forum medias such as Xenforo, is there a plugin etc. to show via a popup window the contents of first post in a given topic when a user hovers over a topic ?

I have had a good look at plugins etc, just hopefully something already created ?

Thanks

Uninstall bbPress: Please follow this
Log into your WordPress back-end.
Go to Plugins > Installed Plugins.
Scroll down until you see bbPress and click Deactivate.
After the page reloads, scroll back down to the bbPress plugin, now click the red Delete link.
You will now see a screen to confirm your deletion of the bbPress plugin, if you are sure you want to remove bbPress from your installation, hit the OK. button.
bbPress is now uninstalled from your site.

I need a little help with the BBpress converter. I am importing data (4000 users) from a phpBB (latest version) database in the locahost database. The converter consistently just goes straight to ‘Stopped’ no matter what I do.

Where is the log for this utility so I can debug?

Thanks,
Stewart

[gm4aff]

It is extremely disappointing not to have had any reply to this question. I have reached the point where I have upgraded phpBB to the latest version and moved the original phpBB data to the new server so I can run the import to and from the ‘localhost’, and still it fails. I am 100% confident that everything is correct.
What really gets me is the lack of feedback. The application just says ‘Stopped’ every time I try something. Every time. Is there a log somewhere?

If I don’t get some sort of help or guidance soon I will simply give up on BBPress and WordPress. Surely there is someone who knows what’s going on?

Thank you in anticipation.

Anybody got some code to put into WordPress theme functions.php to redirect every instance of links to /wp-admin/profile.php to /forums/users/$user ?

[Milan Petrovic]

Hi,

This is not related to bbPress, but to BuddyPress, you should post this to BuddyPress forum. But, as I remember, there were options to change some of the slugs in BuddyPress too.

Hey Robin,
hope this message finds you, due to the spam above. How ironic that this forum message is about spam blocking:
You were right with the “stop words”. Strangely, though, i have not been adding them via bbpress but instead using a plugin called “BanHammer”. It has helped greatly in stopping spam signups, but i didn’t realise that it added the strings to the “Settings –> Discussion –> “Disallowed Comment Keys” part.
I had added the string “gmail.com” as I was getting some spam signups, and realised that the account i used to test post a comment was in fact my gmail.com account. So there you go. BanHammer and stop words.
Thx again for your help, this is invaluable due to the amount of traffic we will shortly have.
thx.
This topic is now closed.

I’m the web developer for a biotech discussion website. I’m currently running the Kleo theme with bbpress.

I have nested replies enabled (with help from the bbstyle pack plugin, as it was not working previously) but also want to have pagination enabled. Nothing seems to be working and I’m in desperate search of a fix.

I’ve already tried deactivating and reactivating…troubleshooting…everything.

I’ve followed this tutorial but have come across certain errors.

I’ve also tried going through this ticket among other similar ones and no such luck.

I keep getting an error with the ‘format’ => ‘page/%#%’, line from Step 2. It’s telling me there is an extra %. Once I remove the extra %, the error moves down to the ‘prev_text’ => __(‘<’), line.

I’m happy to give any more information that is needed.

[smith512]

Sorry, guys.
I figured out this problem.
If one parent has thousands sub forums, bbpress is very heavy.
I delete parent, bbpress is light.

Hello
I installed bbPress. When a user comes to see the topic, he displays a text.
What should I do to make it right?

[Milan Petrovic]

bbPress is very open to adding all sorts of features, you can change practically everything related to how the forums are displayed, add all sorts of the feature. My GD Quantum Theme Pro plugin replaces the whole bbPress theme package with a custom one that can be controlled via Customizer. My plugins add hundreds of features into bbPress.

BbPress is also limited itself in customizations and adding features.
