look at page source of this (your forum)
http://forumcine.ma/topic.php?id=126
and search position-
all the post have position-0 that is the problem i got when using the old bbpress converter. ( check post_position table in bb_posts, all 0 or not )
and for forum_slug, active name based permalink in bbpress admin then check your forum thread, error or not. (if your post_slug is empty then all your post will 404 not found if you active name based permalink. not forum_slug)
it doesn’t parse the bbcode inside posts (meaning that all the links inside the posts are gone)
Is the bbcode still present in the bbPress database?
if so, then there are a few bbCode parsers for bbPress availible. I know Matt doesn’t like it, and therefore we are the only forum that won’t support it, but i think it only slows adoption
that’s true: this converter doesn’t deal with attachements, for my forum, i didn’t need attachements that’s why I did’nt try to fix this probeleme, anyway, if I have time, i’ll check this.. another think is the way phpbb3 stores attachements; it crypts file names so instead of “myimage.gif” it stores the file encrypted like “55_5230d911b6e6212b7a55075668053db2” but there will be a way just needs time!
thank you guys,
@psycheangels
I checked the database and my forum as well and can’t find any problem either with forum_slug or post_position, if you have this problems, maybe, you are using an old bbpress or phpbb3 installation, it is recommended that you update both your phpbb3 and bbpress installation to the latest versions (as stated in this page title) before proceeding with the convertion.
You need to run a recount from your admin section, sometimes this happens.
Hi,
My bbpress post counter showing post in negative figures as shown below:
Browse recently updated forum topics:
1,181 users have made -54 posts!
how to fix it…?
Best Regards
Well, I’m not sure where to report this, but I found a bug with bbpress deep integration with wordpress when the wp-super cache wordpress plugin is installed and activated.
bbpress deep integration is not supported, so I’d report this to the WordPress Plugin Developer, and hopefully they’ll add something to the FAQ 
I use WPSC with bbPress deep integration, but as mr_pelle suggested I exclude the forum URL from caching.
I had problems with it too: I had to set WP Super Cache to HALF ON or to add forum URL to Rejected URIs list…
Page links for 0.9
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/page-links-for-bbpress/
For the life of me I can’t remember how I do the labels, I think it’s just a tweak… let me see…
Yeah it’s just a little nasty mini-plugin I wrote, also meant for 0.9, probably would not work as expected in 1.0

I had the same problem with W3 Total Cache.
However, the development version of W3 Total Cache (v0.9) fixed the problem for me on my local install.
Give that a shot!
Hi numediaweb,
first of all thank you for the script: it does everything it promises and it’s easy to use
Non surprisingly it still seems to lack a few feature which are probably very hard to develop: it doesn’t parse the bbcode inside posts (meaning that all the links inside the posts are gone) and it doesn’t convert the attachments…
I hope someone will find the time to implement those, as I believe they’re necessary to properly move a forum from one software to another.
Our forum is here
But thanks again anyway
you may need to disable the cache for the forum – try emailing Donncha about your wp-super cache issues (I think that one is his). Or post on the WP forums, he’s pretty good at answering queries.
Tested.
Will not work with W3 Total Cache either. Shame. Any other good cache plugins?
Feel free to try W3 Total Cache?
Well, I’m not sure where to report this, but I found a bug with bbpress deep integration with wordpress when the wp-super cache wordpress plugin is installed and activated. When this happens, the bbpress forum will return the dreaded white screen of death. Just deactivate wp-super cache and deep integration will work fine again.
Hope this helps someone out. Moderators, please feel free to move this thread if it’s in the wrong place. Thanks!
@ chrishajer I really like your opinion, Thanks
@ kevinjohngallagher thanks for your huge participation,
infact the Project Lead left 4 months ago when a moderator dared ask him a question.
but I think its not a big deal if someone have asked a question to leader about bbPrees project.
Second, Its my suggestion that bbPress standalone software should remain alive after bbPress plugins availability, because who loves standalone they can use it. and those people who want to use plugin then they can use it from worpdress plugin’s directory.
@psycheangels, I’ve installed your plugin on my bbpress-forum and it works fine. Many thanks to you.
There is only one problem:
bbpress only shows the Mistery Man standard avatar image for facebook-visitors. I would like to replace the Mistery Man avatar image with the facebook profil image of the facebook visitors. How can I do that?
It’s good that bbpress is still somewhere in the list but don’t kid yourself, you won’t see bbPress as a stable WP plugin this year. It would take a great deal of work to make it happen, Matt would have to assign a dedicated coder which he is not likely to do.
Even if all backward compatibility was completely ignored (which will likely happen) it still could not likely be released this year.
Sam indirectly helped quite a bit by all his work in making 1.x use backpress but there will still have to be major refactoring. JJJ’s plugin attempt still uses backpress. But they can’t do that as an official WordPress plugin, the overhead would be staggering and would instantly get a bad reputation.
I am begging anyone that will listen to NOT call it bbPress because there will be major confusion. There will be nearly ZERO compatibility with all previous bbPress themes, plugins and advice. The entire bbpress.org forum will become a mess of tangled support questions for standalone vs plugin version questions.
Then there will be bbPress plugins that are actually installed into WordPress to supplement bbPress. That will certainly confuse newbies.
Just call it the wp-forums plugin or something like that and make a sub-forum for support on WP.org – leave bbpress.org for the standalone version.
sure am glad we need to play detective to know 2 cents about anything regarding bbpress.
@yutt, your wish will be granted soon enough, don’t worry. actually, matt probably won’t start this site over (bbpress.org). he will just delete it forever, along with all content and standalone packages.
then, he will probably steal half of _ck_’s code (along with a few others), silently, without any acknowledgement.
which is why, regardless of how anyone feels about matt or a plugin or whatever, there should be a fork of some kind for bbpress. at least we can preserve a standalone version and work out some kinks and have a safety net setup before matt blows us into oblivion.
@kevin, what do u mean? the 1.1 fixes are cuz the majority of ppl who install bbpress support a standalone version. why give up now?
and the next person who says “screw a standalone, bbpress isn’t meant as a standalone” needs to save their breath.
also what’s with all the vanilla salesmen? the whole point is that bbpress could be the best standalone forum software out there, esp. when you factor in the fact that along the road of many web projects some devs will decide they want to tie it in with wordpress at some point.
so instead topic form always below in forum.php, how about make it to other page like in front-page.php. so in future bbpress, user can choose betwen quick reply / post with advance form reply and post with smilies and others stuff
post position still error check it with firefox, all post have position-0.
and can you check the post slug table in your db, empty or not ?
(need that for change permalink to apply nicer permalink)
check my little hack for that in

thx btw for your fix
Very nice indeed numediaweb, and appreciated
ABOUT
A script to help you convert you phpbb3 (version 3.0.7) forum to bbpress (version:1.0.2) forum. This code is an update to the code made by wmnasef (http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/phpbb3-gt-bbpress-converter-beta-release).
GET IT @
http://code.google.com/p/phpbb3-to-bbpress1-converter/
BUGS CORRECTED
* works with bbpress 1.0.2
* corrects the single quote problem
* corrects the login problem
HOW TO INSTALL
1. make a backup from your online forum (if possible make an exact copy of your forum in your localhost server, this prevents any damage to the online forum).
2. install bbpress anywhere, just use the same database of phpbb3. this is important because the script assumes that all tables are in the same database.
3. download the script from here. extract it, and you’ll get 2 files.
4. copy the file phpbb3tobbpress.php to “phpbb3/” directory.
5. copy the file _phpbb3_pass.php to bbpress/my-plugins/ directory (if it doesn’t exist, create it!).
6. go to http://path-to-phpbb3/phpbb3tobbpress.php and start converting your board.
7. voila .. all your data is converted to bbpress tables, go to your bbpress installation and login. don’t forget to visit admin->manage->recount to make sure your converted board is updated.
As said before, it is advised to copy your phpbb3 forum to a localhost installation and make the conversion as stated in the steps above, this way if you have big forum with thousands of posts, it is easier and safer to run the conversion on localhost.
Hope this helps and thanx to the original poster.
Tested by http://numediastudio.com for http://forumcine.ma
I updated the current code and hosted it under google code at http://code.google.com/p/phpbb3-to-bbpress1-converter/
now it works with bbpress 1.0.2 and phpbb 3.0.7
have fun! and thanx original poster: wmnasef
