Hi there,

sorry for posting to a 3 years old thread, but I’m about to do the same, importing mm_forum into bbpress.

Any news if anyone ever progressed on this task? Did anyone do a succesful migration from mm_forum?

Hi everyone, I’m sorry if I’m doing something wrong, I’m very new to the subject, and especially in wordpress architecture, I use bbpress, and I’m having a hard time researching 2 days to fix this and I’m not successful.
I need the information below the avatar to be centered below the avatar, because they are out of sync as the image shows:

Hello! How I can add captcha to bbpress ? I don’t find information about it
How I can add google captcha and I want add my own bbcode and assign button in editor.
I don’t know how can add my own profile pages for users too 🙁

When I can read about it ?

[Robin W]

Can’t immediately see any issue.

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

I have a WP site , and I installed bbPress and BuddyPress in 2012. It worked great. Then the project got cold, and I now want to start it up again.

However, to keep WP healthy I have updated it version for version. Now it is 4.6.1, and I have bbPress 2.5.11 and BuddyPress 2.7.2

I can not get access to bbPress’ settings.

I can access wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bb-forums-setup and then can click “cofigure bbPress”, but the popup loads a blank page.

I remember that the first time I set it up I had access to a lot of settings, but now I can not access anything.

Where do I go from here? What is the best way to get access again?

[mikehaceman]

Any ideas? Am I the only one moving smf to bbpress?

[Chad R. Schulz]

There’s contradictory information inside these forums about whether it’s possible to have front-end editing for a forum in bbpress.

Within the code there’s obviously support (or once was). However, every attempt to access front-end editing using a /forum/sample-forum/edit url results in a 404.

Older posts here indicate this used to work. Yet, some more current posts state that front-end editing for forums is not yet(?) possible (only topics and replies).

What information is correct? Is front-end forum editing still possible in core as default or has it (for some reason) been deactivated? And if it is still an option what things could I check for why I’m getting a 404 instead of the form-forum.php template?

Thanks for any help,
Chad

After removing almost half of the Drupal 6 spam and blocked uses, I still have over 250K users to import to WP/bbPress.

I run a prior test import for the topics, and it seemed to run fine. But importing users one at a time hangs after every ~one hundred users. I have to manually click stop and start at the Converter Admin page every few minutes. If I can’t find other solutions, I might want to install a Browser addon to click stop and start for me every 3 minutes when I’m away. Otherwise, I’m at 2500 users now and I still have 247K users to go! It won’t finish for weeks.

Suggestions? Thanks.

FYI: In contrary to above, bbPress can import from remote database. But must use Hostname:Port in the converter admin, instead of hostname and port in separate input form fields.

I’m able to use a remote MySql server as import source.
Details please see a minor bug or enhancement that I just created:
BBpress import from remote database hostname:port config

The strange part – once I install “bbPress Notify (No-Spam)”

Notification works but only for the Admin

Hi there,

I’m using Bbpress as a forum in my website and I’m link it very much. So thank you very much for sharing this.

But I would like to share what I found today.

Today I found a “Bug” in bbPress that will ask if the tema of bbPress could think on a resolution for the next release.

The problem is if we activate the “replying threading” the the replies stop making pagination. The page will be a continuous one.
But if you deactivate the “replying threadin” then you have the pagination of the replies.
Can you making to have the both possibilites?

Kind Regards,

I’d like to hide/remove the “right now in forums” widget from the dashboard. There are some code snippets online but none seem to work.

Can anyone help?

[Robin W]

Thanks for posting back

To remove the indent and the left hand border,
put the following into the custom css tab of the plugin

#bbpress-forums .bbp-forums-list {
  border-left: none;
  padding-left: 0px;
}

If you still want the border, then just

#bbpress-forums .bbp-forums-list {
  padding-left: 0px;
}

I want users who visit the site to create a topic without logging into bbPress form.
I need to create a subject form on the question page I created on my site. Can you help me?

I’m sorry for my bad english.

[Robin W]

suggest you go back to basics and try :

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 there,

I use myMail + Amazon SES to send all the emails on my website.

All the system emails works, BuddyPress emails works. However, bbPress email notifications don’t work.

I already know that the problem with the myMail settings:
https://gyazo.com/52d3e8bc99e159018599fee3cdb5887f

When I use “Do not use MyMail for outgoing WordPress mails” everything works. But I can’t use this setting, because all the emails became ugly and with different design (Buddypress has it’s own design, WooCommerce has it’s own, bbPress has no design at all).

Therefore, I have to use “Use MyMail for all outgoing WordPress mails” in the myMail to have unified emails. However, bbPress emails don’t work as I said.

Can anyone help me, please? I’m willing to pay for this.

When you have BuddyPress activated they user profiles now us e member instead of bbPress user profile URLs

[u_Oi]

WAMP always give me problems…thats why I hate it! Anyway, I suggest you upload the site to your server/hosting and then install bbPress Messages.

Take it easy, I use bbPress Message and works fine. You should upload the website because the developer can’t help you with a site in local host.

Hi

I have fresh installation of WordPress and bbPress. I have old 2.x SMF forum I would like to move across. While using “Import Forums”, when I use correct server name, user name, password and prefix “smf_” (all from smf settings.php) I am getting error message:

Repair any missing information: Continue

Nothing seems to be working. I tried with and without any prefix, i tried converting users and not. I start FRESH every time. SMF database is NOT in utf8mb4. If i go to php admin i see Type: MyISAM and Collation: utf8_general_ci for every table.

Could you help?
THanks

Hi Pascal. I tried renaming the folder to bbpress.old and then installing the latest version of bbPress, but the admin panel still said that it was on the previous pervion of bbPress. I’d be okay with doing a proper uninstall of bbPress and then doing a clean install, but will that wipe out my bbPress database tables? I need to be able to do this without destroying my community.

[gbbgadmin]

UPDATE. NOT RESOLVED.

After repairing broken relationships the site was working as expected. Then, about 1 hour ago, a member reported that 503 errors are back on our bbPress forum. After looking at a narrower window of data, here is what we have found.

Replies are NOT being associated with their parent forum. They go into the database and even have their proper topic parent ID assigned in the post_parent column. The admin “replies” page, which becomes accessible after running “Recalculate the parent topic for each post” tool. Then, the forum for the post shows as “No Forum”.

Upon inspection of the form where users enter replies, we see this:

<input type=”hidden” name=”bbp_topic_id” id=”bbp_topic_id” value=”HIDDEN”/>
<input type=”hidden” name=”bbp_reply_to” id=”bbp_reply_to” value=”0″/>
<input type=”hidden” name=”action” id=”bbp_post_action” value=”bbp-new-reply”/>

NOTICE: we put “HIDDEN” into the value for bb_topic_id because it is not relevant here. It does show correctly. However, you will notice that the bb_reply_to is ALWAYS being set as value=”0″. There is some reason that bbPress is setting ALL replies to 0. We cannot seem to figure out why.

[Robin W]

I can only suggest that you try this on a non-wamp environment – bbpress can have issues with wamp.
