I found this topic from 3 years ago, which helped me:

Pagination broken when using shortcode for topic index

It suggested changing the Forum setting “Forum root should show” to “Topics by Freshness.” I had it set to “Forum Index.” With this setting changed, my pagination works.

Not sure why this setting would break pagination in bbpress topics index shortcode, but at least it works now.

I don’t know what “clean theme” means, however.

sorry lazy writing – just means a wordpress default theme with no changes – eg twentyseventeen. The ones released by wordpress are tested against bbpress.

I’ll contact you again via email.

[Robin W]

interesting – I think another theme or plugin may be overwriting.

suggest you check that your theme doesn’t have a ‘bbpress’ directory with templates in it, or that another plugin is not doing that.

[Jason]

I installed and activated twentyseventeen theme and the problem persists with my installation of WordPress. I don’t know what “clean theme” means, however.

I understand that it is very difficult (or next to impossible) to troubleshoot unless someone else can duplicate the problem. I am isolating this to bbpress, though, since pagination in WordPress posts work perfectly. And, bbpress was the only plugin active when using a WordPress.org-designed theme. Perhaps my database has been corrupted. Who knows.

I appreciate your efforts to help me troubleshoot.

Hi,

I am importing 3 forums into bbPress and in all of the databases the forum names are the same and some of the user names are the same.

I was just wondeirng, before I run the converter scripts, if I should change the names of the 2 old forums – maybe by putting a version 1 and version 2 or something similar after the names and do the same for the users?

I think I can make these old forums ones read only and the current forum still active?

Of couse if you have any better ideas or ways to do this, feel free to let me know – any advise is very much appreciated 🙂

Thank you for your time.

Hi,

I am moving an old site to WP and bbPress and need to convert my old forums. I understand I need to use the example.php in the converter folder and write a converter for each old forum – there are 3 I am gong to convert.

And wouldn’t you know it, the 3 different forums use 3 different date formats!

Here they are
1415922411
2004-09-13 19:25:59
20080407181855

From looking around in all of the converter files I see that forum dates are done 2 ways

In example converter – I am guessing that I would use this format to convert the date like 20080407181855 ?

// Forum dates.
$this->field_map[] = array(
'to_type' => 'forum',
'to_fieldname' => 'post_date',
'default' => date('Y-m-d H:i:s')
);


In vanilla converter – I am guessing I would use this format to convert the date like 2004-09-13 19:25:59 ?

// Forum dates.
$this->field_map[] = array(
'from_tablename' => 'Category',
'from_fieldname' => 'DateInserted',
'to_type' => 'forum',
'to_fieldname' => 'post_date',
);


Anyone know how I can convert a date such as 1415922411 to the correct date format – which I am guessing is Y-m-d H:i:s?

Thank you for your time.

this thread suggests using version 2.6

Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000

try 2.6Rc3

I wrote a small plugin a while ago that takes dates out of bbpress, including the columns

Give this a try

oh, same here, I think bbpress count post from stick posts and error 404 for the last of number link

I know how to access the database on my server, but I do not know what to look at or how to interpret anything in the database. If you can walk me through something, I’m happy to report back.

Just in case I made a mistake previously, I again disabled all plugins except for bbpress, then changed themes to twenty fifteen. Problem remains. I suppose at this point, we need to confirm that others on WP 4.9 and bbpress 2.5.14 can duplicate this problem, with broken pagination links.

[Robin W]

Thanks for that.

The blogs per page should not affect the number of forums shown. This is set to 50 in bbpress unless changed by code, which would either be code you have done (and would know about), code from a plugin (but you have disabled and checked these) or your theme (which again you have checked).

I’m not sure what else would be doing this

Do you know how to access the database and look at items in it?

Oops… I can’t believe I posted this in the wrong forum. I thought this was Buddypress forum (bbpress and buddypress was both open in my browser :p ) Is there a way to delete this posts? I will post in buddypress forum. And, by the way, cropping works in WP -> Media and also with Ultimate-member plugin si I guess is something with Buddypress… I’ll check this. Thanks for your answer Robin (The plugin you made for me is still working great (bbpress search by category ID :))

[Robin W]

since you are uploading avatars, and this is not a bbpress function (bbpress uses gravatar) – I think this is further plugin issue – probably GD.

I keep running into the following error when trying to import my Vanilla 2.x forum database. I’m using WordPress 4.9 and bbpress 2.5.14.

Repair any missing information: Continue
WordPress database error: [Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000 bytes]
CREATE TABLE GcuHRqrGbbp_converter_translator ( meta_id mediumint(8) unsigned not null auto_increment, value_type varchar(25) null, value_id bigint(20) unsigned not null default '0', meta_key varchar(255) null, meta_value varchar(255) null, PRIMARY KEY (meta_id), KEY value_id (value_id), KEY meta_join (meta_key(191), meta_value(191)) ) DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;
No data to cleanStarting Conversion

Any ideas on what I need to do to get this error resolved?

[Jason]

Update… if I go to Settings > Reading and change the value in “Blog pages show at most” to 2, I can access the 2nd page link (…page/2), but not the 3rd page. If I change the value in “Blog pages show at most” to 1, I can access all 3 pages. I only have 3 pages of topics, so I am not able to test higher page number navigation links.

It’s worth noting that regardless of the setting, I can always access the URL that ends in page2 and page3 (without the inbetween slash “/”). And, it appears that WordPress itself displays the page navigation links just fine. This pagination problem seems to be isolated to the bbpress plugin.

Hi guys.
On my current site I have exported forums, topics and replies via the WordPress built in export to XML function.
Then I am uploading these files to a new site with the same BBPress version and it looks like all goes well. When I go to Forums I can see all forums and how many topics they’ve got. But at the frontend the forums are empty when entering them.

I have run all the tools recount etc. and then every forum says 0 topics. I did map all users to existing users which I move prior to BBPress so I do not understand how this recount can reset all forums.

Any advice?

Thanks!

Hi

we have BBPress set up so that we only have forums in Groups. We do not want to have sitewide access to members.

The problem with this setup is that I can’t find where the admins or moderators can go and check all forums – without going into each of the very many groups individually.

Is there a way maybe admins can get root access to the forum but other users can’t?

Thanks for your assistance.

WP 4.9 – bbpress 2.5.14 – no link because private site

Hello,

By default, bbpress does not send any message to the user when he creates a topic or a reply, which is a malfunction, because if the message must wait moderation it does not appear right away and the user sometimes repost it many time.
I am not talking about email notification to the user but a message directly on the site announcing that the message has been taken into account and that it is pending moderation.
I have tried the various existing plugins (bbpress moderation, bbpress notify, etc) but none do that.
I also modified the form-topic and form-reply files of bbpress for a redirection to an information page, but unfortunately only the modification of the form-topic works.

Is not a flaw on bbpress that should be fixed in future versions (but I’m surprised that this minimum has not been expected since!) Or someone has a solution?

Thank you for your comeback !

I have been trying to get bbpress to work with the Smartline theme but I have noticed that the text displays strangely on the sidebar widget.

Here is the URL: https://asdzone.com/

Hi

in defoult bbpress show the auther area depend on browser widths
– the author avatar will displayed to the side of a post at all browser widths over 480px, at 480px and narrower it will displays above the post

its all works only when threaded replies option are off
when im enabling threaded replies, the auther area always display on side
its reasonable. but to me i prefer to keep the above parameter – to display the author area above the post when the browser widths is 480px or narrower.
can i ?

Thanks in advance

Hi,
you were right about having to deactivate all other add-on bbpress plugins. thx. I can’t seem to set this issue as resolved though.

[Robin W]

most likely your theme or another plugin is expecting bbpress to be there.

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.

Hi,
If I deactivate BBPress, the website crashes and displays the white screen of death.
