I almost had it done converting it to simple machine and then to BBPress but it kept getting an error at the end. I was converting to 4.4 (I believe) it was using the latest converter someone posted on the VB Forums. I apologize for not saving the links. I finally gave up. Went back to VB 5.0 and am hosting it myself. vBulletin is by far the best software out there for forums, but not great when you want integration. My forum was pretty good sized..

I didn’t use the cloud like I did and went back to self hosting like I had before. If you host vBulletin yourself you have total control over it and you can install 3rd party plugins. I use DragonByte. It is inexpensive and great customer support. With the new vBulletin interface and mobile support for apps it is again top of the line.

I waited well over a year for a solution to the problem and WordPress and BBPress were obviously not willing to take a good portion of the crowd wanting to jump from vBulletin. But they waited too long and vBulletin worked their issues out.

This forum is for general bbPress questions. If you find issues with a plugin, please post it on the support forum of the specific plugin.

Thanks.

It does not work as it used to before.
Here the faults:
1) Under Settings > Discussions when I try to select the Forum, and click on “Apply settings to existing posts” it shows an error.
2) When I go to the posts I find all the wordpresss comments removed, and no bbpress replacement
3) However It works only if I edit individual posts and select the forum under the individual posts.

That means if somebody has 1000 posts he will have to edit 1000 posts for enabling the import?? How time consuming that will be
And during the time the individual posts are being edited the existing comments will remain hidden

Earlier this fault was not there, the import could be enabled for the all the posts with one click…

Hi @thebeeobee,

That looks like a nice bug. Would you be able to add that to https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/newticket , describe in short the issue and the steps to reproduce? Also put a link to this topic.

Thanks a lot!
Pascal.

We use Ultimate Membership Pro, which allows users to upload avatar’s to it’s own plugin. I’d like BBpress to look towards the member pro avatar instead of Gravatar. How can I do this? The custom field is called IHC_avatar

[Pascal Casier]

@vikingviolet,

Is your original forum also bbPress?

@fabioweb

Ciao Fabio,
As you can see on https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/it/default/wp-plugins/bbpress , bbPress is translated in stable and dev at 100%, so I confirm that all strings have been translated in Italian.

What you show in your screenshots is however coming from a theme or an extra plugin and not from bbPress.

So identify the theme or plugin that adds this string and translate it. More information on how to translate can be found on https://it.wordpress.org/traduzioni/

Hi bbpress friends,

I want to combine the shortcode with a href html command. At the moment iam doing this:

<td>

[caption id="attachment_238" align="aligncenter" width="150"]<a href=[bbp-topic-form forum_id=659]><img class="wp-image-238 size-thumbnail" src="http://hilf-mir-aus.de/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/internet.png" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a> Internet & Technik[/caption]
</td>

Any guesses, its not working…

@zcoin,
bbPress is not different from WordPress. Basic information on the post (a forum, a topic or a reply are all a ‘post) is a record inside the wp_posts table. Then in the wp_postmeta table you will find more information for every post.

Hi @tonyleev,

That would be a question for the support forum of that plugin. Maybe it’s this one: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/moderation-tools-for-bbpress ?

Hi @irishhealer,

Could you please try 2.6-RC5 ? You can find it on https://bbpress.org/download/

If you have the same issues, report back here.

Hi,
I am trying to repair the phpb3.2.2 import into bbpress. I have tried several imports since yesterday. I can see all forums, topics and replies in the back-end,but they are not associated with each other on import.

Using bbpress Version 2.6-beta-2. I’ve even tried the the latest trac importers.
Number of posts: 35976
Number of topics: 7199
Number of users: 1449
Can anyone help?

[swimdigitalgroup]

Hello,

I am receiving an error when I try to access the replies page from the dashboard. Every other page associated with the plugin works great except for this one. I’ve contact my host, tried another theme, deactivated all other plugins and even reinstalled bbpress with no luck.

Can someone please help me out with this issue? I’ve been researching this for days and I can’t find a solution.

Hello everyone!

I’ve set up a bbPress forum on a clean WordPress installation and applying the simpliest boxed theme to it (twentysixteen). I tested ie and everything was working fine so I made a child theme and started styling it.

Problem is, almost at the end of the customization, I realized that when I search something in the top form, the results page is completely messed up and I can’t seem to figure out why…

I’ve done some googling and ended up on these two topics:
Search css issues…
Template in Extras Directory for Search Results

But they didn’t help me because as for the first one, by using What The FIle plugin, turns out the files WP pulls up in the index and search restults are the same; as for the second one, I didn’t import any custom UI and the theme I created was made a child of twentysixteen which was quite vanilla as for looks.

I admit I’m not a sharp expert on the matter, but I’m out of options…
Does anyone have an idea of why the results page breaks so badly?

Thanks in advance for your replies!
Have a nice day 🙂

Hi bbPress folks,

i created this forum, all fine :)…
http://www.ayurveda-portal.de/test-forum

but when i want to go deeper in the forum, this 404 happens:
http://www.ayurveda-portal.de/ayurveda/forum/zweites-forum

Permalink’s setting is user-defined:
http://www.ayurveda-portal.de/%postname%

I have already researched for a few hours and now I ask you,

Hi,

I am having issues with using bbpress. When I post something in the forum, a user who is subscribed to the forum, then receives an email with a link to the post I have just created. However, the user will click on the link and then recieve a 404 page not found message. This is because the forum is private and the user is not currently logged in.

I was wondering if anyone has a solution to ensure that if a user is not logged into the forum, that they would get the Log In page to access the forum rather than the 404 redirect.

I cannot put a direct redirect from the post to the login page, because then this would happen for all logged in users too.

Any help would be greatly appreciated – I am not a PHP expert either, so please explain things in simple terms if changes to the PHP are necessary.

Thank you.

Hello,

We are using the bbPress forum on our clients website and for some reason the nested replies will not work. I have the featured enabled in the settings and I can’t seem to get it working. I’ve checked plugins and nothing seems to be conflicting. How would I go about fixing this issue? I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank You!

[mtclmbr]

We are using bbPress v2.5.14 and WP 4.9.4

Forums link: http://www.wi-geocaching.com/forums
Recent Posts Link: http://www.wi-geocaching.com/forums/most-recent/

So all topics and threads behave as desired when clicking the ‘view reply’ link in that it will open up that topic, to the current/posted page, and scroll down to the post.

Now all of them behave like that but ONE. And not sure if the 900+ pages (13,500+ replies) is leading to the issue. On this one particular thread, it always opens up from the link to page 1.

Here is a recent ‘view reply’ link for that particular topic. The issue topic is titled “Thread Stealers With Too Much On Their Minds” – Recent Link: http://www.wi-geocaching.com/forums/topic/thread-stealers-with-too-much-on-their-minds-2/#post-2058859

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Then come back

[Robin W]

@studentfilmmakers As a start try using this plugin to style your bbpress.

bbp style pack

then come back with any further queries

[StudentFilmmakers]

I am frustrated with the lack of layout and theme availability for the bbpress. Yes, there are a hundred thousand themes you can use it with but a lot of them are only visually pleasing and not really made for functionality. What really bothers me is the use of the grey text that looks great aesthetically but it is not for reading. I am sure there is a way I can change the grey text and make the nice background show up after the post. I just have to find the person who can tell me where to edit this in the theme or style sheet. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I like the way this forums looks. Is there a link I can download the them at. The link above is not in my face understandable for me. Here is it https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk/buddypress.org/public_html/wp-content/themes
What can I do to make this work as a theme. The steps to make this happen would be appreciated greatly. Have a great day and God bless.

Hello,

I am trying to create private topics with BBpress so it will be only visible between the creator and the administrators. Is it possible? If it is, where are the options to set it up?

Thanks and kind regards,
