Hi, I just started a new website and forum board. Mine does not send new users a link to set their password, but strangely enough, I did go to wp-admin and register a new user there and that did send an email. Went to spam, but it was there. When a new user registers through the bbpress widget, it send me their email and username, but they never get an email. When I successfully got the email for registering on the wp site at /wp-admin, it came from “wordpress@mysite.com” which I never set up. Under general settings I just have my personal email being used, but the reg. email came from wordpress@mysite.com. Any idea why it’s not sending out an email to new users when they register through bb.com but it does when they register at /wp-admin? Everything was just installed today, so plugins and wordpress are all up to date. Thanks!
I’m receiving a couple undefined index notices whenever viewing the settings page:
PHP Notice: Undefined index: args in /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/admin.php on line 370
PHP Notice: Undefined index: sanitize_callback in /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/admin.php on line 374
Any ideas what could be causing this?
you will need to do a custom import
Custom Import
buddypress and bbpress just use the wordpress logon.
It could be a theme or plugin issue
Themes
As a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.
Plugins
If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
Then come back
I am trying to migrate all my Xoops xForum data over to WP bbpress forum. Are there any free tools or info on how to accomplish this task? I do not see much onine to do this? I dont want to lose all my data that was collected over the years.
From:
Xoops ver. 2.5.6
xforum ver. 5.8.5
To:
WP ver. 5.0.3
bbpress ver. 2.5.14
Thanks in advance…
İ want all upload and embed view office files(word pdf excel power point) not only pictures.
Like embed any document for bbpress and for all users
I’m just a bbpress user who helps out here, so cannot comment on whether it should be core.
There was and is much debate about whether you can claim anything you put yourself into public view (eg in a topic or reply, or wordpress comment ) as personal data – and then demand it be removed.
for instance https://law.stackexchange.com/questions/28276/are-internet-forum-posts-considered-personal-data-under-gdpr
Awesome, hadn’t seen this. I’ve installed it and it seems to work fine, even though it hasn’t been updated for ages. This should really be included as a default feature in bbpress. Privacy is a big concern. Thank you robin!
bbpress doesn’t use any, as wordpress handles the login

Hi everyone,
Im looking to build some custom URL for users profile pages.
I wanted to have something like …/forums/users/name/ instead of …/forums/users/admin_j9fzjefzenfvx/ for some obvious security reasons.
Did anyone already build this in the past ?
Cheers,
Chaaampy.
Hello,
I want to add this information to my Privacy Policy because of the GDPR, and I was wondering which cookies does the plugin place? I don’t have any add-ons.
Thank you 🙂
Bbpress is not GDPR-compliant because of one thing: The User posts and threads are not collected in WordPress’ feature to export and delete all user data.
Please add this feature next! Thank you. 🙂
Understood. I did bring this topic up pretty specifically to the multiple WordPress forum sites (.org and .com) and it is hard to say if that is a very limited use case worth any effort (maybe just a plugin and not some core update to bbPress would be better) but there may be organizations that run different forum sites where the information is similar, but not worth co-mingling into the same site completely – and the ability to copy / move topics could be useful I believe.
A comment in another thread says the white screen problem is from a time out, and when you run it again it continues where it left off 🙂
The uploads that aren’t imported are going to be lots of broken links on your forum!
I have installed the bbp style pack and am trying to style the forums page. It seems to be using the middle third of a page and I don’t see how to expand the width. The URL is worldveganvision.org/forums.
I have set rounded corners but the corners do not appear rounded.
Hi all… I’m trying to export/import a bbpress forum very large (20k topic, 10k user and so on)
from a wordpress site (https://domande.analisidelsangue.net) to another (https://www.analisidelsangue.net) .. is there some plugin than can help me to do it? I’m triyng to do it using export/import function of wordpress… but I have only errors… thnkx a lot
When you stop and start it should continue from where it was before. This is part of the standard bbPress importer setup. Unless you choose: “Start Over: Restart the converter from the beginning (This forces all steps back to 0. Avoid duplicate data by purging or resetting first.)” on the Import Forums screen. As it suggests, under the Reset Forums tab you can delete all existing forums, topics and posts. Unfortunately, my plugin doesn’t delete the Redirection plugin settings or the images it imports (although it may be possible to hook into the forum reset code and achieve that).
You will have to start the import again to import the images and attachments. The converter scans each post as it’s importing for local links and then retrieves the files from the uploads folder. Some are direct links, some are links via Invision’s ~attachment.php?id=123 which need to query the database to find the true file path, and some are older style Invision v3 attachments.
As you see, the converter just creates its own forums and ignores what’s there, so just delete them.
I don’t think there’s any need, unless something goes wrong, to give me any access. I suggest doing a feature comparison between Invision and bbPress and see what plugins you’re going to need to retain tools you were using in Invision. If they match what I know I need, I’ll work on converting the appropriate data for both of us.
I get this message: the bbPress Notify (No-Spam)/Private Groups Bridge API Key has not been activated, so the plugin is not checking for updates! Click here to activate bbPress Notify (No-Spam)/Private Groups Bridge. Where do I find my api key?
Use WordPress 4.9
Hi, I would like to ask what bbPress template to choose so that the forum looks good.
I tried more, but the forum did not look very good. I would like to have the same or similar template as https://bbpress.org/forums/
Maybe I would ask differently why no one has made an official template for bbPress ?
Can you recommend a template ?
Thanks
bbPress plugin has serious problems itself.
1) Bad working width values:
The major problem for me was that @media screen and (min…. worked really ugly.
With relative wide sceen I got narrow listing. It took big time to get width values working well.
When the width was a little bit over 600px the width was in computer screen about 330 px. Bad.
1000 px it was about 530 px – bad.
Orinally bbPress worked well only in few situations.
2) Bad working with 320×480 cell phones.
Avatar didn’t work. I took model from http://www.matkapuhelinfoorumi.fi and redefined (max-width:320px).
CSS for these kinds of cell phone should fix.
Hi!
Sorry, no links, my forum and WordPress installations are on localhost.
After failed import of SMF (2.0.15) database to bbPress 2.5.14. I tried with bbPress 2.6 RC 7 but there is the same problem with both versions. I can’t seem to past by 7th step – “No forum subscriptions to import”. Import monitor listed: “Doing step 6” and it didn’t move past that for 12 hours
My SMF forum database is clean as it can possibly be and I can’t find where is the problem.
Has anyone succeeded to import SMF into bbPress?
