Hi,
I’ve been struggling with a serious import problem since may 2016.
Issue #1 My BBpress forums will not migrate properly with conventional WordPress import/export built in tool.
Issue #2 When I use WP ALL Import (pro bundle) to get a CSV I can actually work with, and manually update the USER ID table and Forum ID and Parent ID, the import works (Forums and Topics are matched up properly) but tool>BBpress>recaculate will completely break the forum, I need to be able to recalculate once in a while… not being able to do this is a problem. And even to get the imports working I have to manually change IDs in the CSVs in order for the imports to match content up properly. And even when using vlookup in Excel, it is painstakingly difficult to manually create a dual reference column where column one is the old ID (for old website forum) and column two is the new ID (for new website forum). This is why I don’t have a fixed CSV for replies yet. I’ve thousands of them.

Authors of WP ALL Import have been of no substantial help. Please any help because I’ve been paying for my old server and new server for months now and it’s gotten very expensive.

Data columns including in Forum Export is:
id Title Content Post Type Date Order Parent Slug Author Status _bbp_status _bbp_old_forum_id _bbp_forum_parent_id _bbp_forum_subforum_count _bbp_topic_count_hidden _vc_post_settings _bbp_status _yoast_wpseo_title _bbp_forum_id _bbp_last_topic_id _bbp_last_reply_id _bbp_last_active_id _bbp_last_active_time _bbp_topic_count _bbp_total_topic_count _bbp_reply_count _bbp_total_reply_count

Data columns included in Topic Export is:
"id Title Content Date Post Type Permalink _bbp_old_topic_id _bbp_reply_count _bbp_total_reply_count _bbp_author_ip _bbp_old_sticky_status _bbp_topic_id _bbp_forum_id _bbp_last_reply_id _bbp_last_active_id _bbp_last_active_time _bbp_voice_count _vc_post_settings vc_teaser Status Author Slug Order Parent Comment Status"

Data columns included in Replies Export is:
id Content Date Post Type Permalink Status Author Slug Parent Order Comment Status Ping Status _bbp_post_id _bbp_author_ip _vc_post_settings _bbp_activity_id _bbp_topic_id _bbp_forum_id

For Forum’s I updated Author IDs.
For Topic’s I updated Author IDs, Parent, and _bbp_forum_id

After a successful import for these two post types,
bbpress recalculate will completely break the posts’ hierarchy.

I’ve yet to find a way to get replies to import successfully due to the shear number of replies and _bbp_topic_id’s I’d have to update the new IDs for.

@consultjoseph I think this is down to the id not being available.

We are trying various dfifferent ways of doign this now with different url structures. Once we have a solution we will release it as part of the Coffeeblack BBpress extended plugin.

the default code still works for search engine friendly urls but there are a load of other bits i am working on too. like auto setup of urls to match default vbulletin, default kunena, default phpbb and so on. so you can just choose the format from the admin side and it will just work.

Also looking at a sensible way to auto redirect all old urls to the new ones. Which is a harder propsective change but nonetheless it should be done so this solution can work for everyone.

These issues are fixed in the next release of bbPress, bbPress 2.6

Hello. I ‘m new, and I am not a programmer, so please excuse me for the question.

Is there a way to insert the “quote” option in a bbpress post? I mean a button (or something like that) on each post. When a user what to reply quoting that post, simply has to click there.

There is a plugin, but If possible I would do it without a plugin. Is there a code to paste somewhere? If so, tell me the code and where (in a simple way so I can understand 😀 )

Thanks a lot!

Hi!

How can I show the replies count somewhere, like they are showing in the following screen shot.

My theme generates grids of the posts (not topics) and displays comments count. However, I have turned off comments completely and I use bbPress replies instead using ‘bbPress topics for posts’ plugin. So my comment count would always show zero

Can there be any workaround to display topic count in place of comment count in the grids as in thee screen shot above?

Thank you

Hi Stephen. I then set up a new WordPress install with only the bbPress 2.6 alpha plugin installed and did my import. Everything seems fine and the forums work great except for the login. I’ve tested this with a user I can log in to the PHPBB site with but it won’t let me in to the WP site at all. I can see the user in the WP Users list and it has the same details (username/email) as in the PHPBB forum.

Problem 1:
Using builtin importer, whole system is being imported by phpbb3. Anonymous users who does not have any accounts are allowed for posting but they are showing up as anonymous, in the system.
I have collected the usernames_of_the_visitors from posts_from_current_users and created those users, using a query:

INSERT INTO wp_current_visitors (using_the_login)
    SELECT DISTINCT usernames_of_the_visitors
    FROM posts_from_current_users

Step 2:
I am creating multiple tables (in this case:3), some of the code is:

SELECT ID FROM wp_current_visitors 
INSERT INTO current_live_posts(author_current_posts)
WHERE current_live_posts(post_time_and_date) = posts_from_current_users(posted_time)
  AND posts_from_current_users(usernames_of_the_visitors) = wp_current_visitors(using_the_login)

You can see this is not the correct way contain syntax errors. First I have to correct it. Second, I have to find a way to tell the mySQL that ID is connected with ‘using_the_login’ (see the first line). Am I right?

Please help in this regard?

Queries after up-gradation:

SELECT ID FROM wp_current_visitors
SELECT post_time FROM posts_from_current_users = post_time_and_date
SELECT post_username FROM posts_from_current_users = using_the_login

The are working in the correct way. But, I don’t know where to insert the WHERE information correctly.Only possible solution in my mind is to create sub-queries.

Problem 2:
I am installing bbpress on my own(for the first time on a client website, as an evaluation task). I am creating a simple forum, with necessary plugins for login and flow control. But, an important requirement, I am unable to configure is that client wants to create a new page for each directory page. And whenever a new page is added, he wants to add a forum page, automatically. Like, if the directory page is Directory page of militarybases – Cheyenne mountain Air Force base Colorado Springs Colorado. When, he made the page using wordpress, it’s forum page like website/forum/cheyenne-mountain-air-force-base-colorado-springs-co automatically created.

Is this possible? If yes, how will achieve this? Please don’t tell codes other than javascript and php. Please only provide the full solution, in case of others.

[Stephen Edgar]

Thanks for the topic @fourmi 🙂

You are correct, looking at that code for forum subscriptions, if you successfully subscribe to a forum then true === $success so and then is_single() || is_page() would be true in your case the redirect should redirect to your page via get_permalink()

Could you confirm that the user IS successfully subscribed when subscribing via your forum list page please @fourmi

I tried to copy templates from bbPress theme to my child theme, but it does not work.
Maybe I have to update the css.

Thanks for your reply.

Hi,
In what version of bbPress did you import ? Note that the upcoming bbPress 2.6 has a much better support for import so this could be an option.
Have a try in a test environment…

Hi , we want to increase our forum community and traffic, which ways do you usero get more members and join into your bbpress forums?

[Pascal Casier]

Hi, I suppose you want to know how many views a certain topic has ?
Please refer to this thread that might help you: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/new-feature-viewhit-counts/
Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
As you confirm your bbPress works fine with a standard theme, I propose that you indicate the strange behaviour on the support forum of the theme (https://wordpress.org/support/theme/hueman).

Note that you can always copy and modify the standard bbPress templates to have them work within your theme. See https://codex.bbpress.org/themes/theme-compatibility/step-by-step-guide-to-creating-a-custom-bbpress-theme/ starting somewhere step 5.

Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

That would more be a question for google I suppose. You forum is working and I can access the pages without login, so on the bbPress side it seems to be fine.
I propose to try to use the Google tools.

Pascal.

Hi,
I installed bbPress for my site which uses hueman theme.
But when I create the forums page including bbPress shortcode, the layout of the forums page is quite messy. But for another theme thentyfifteen, bbPress works fine.

What can I do to solve this problem with hueman theme?

This is the forums page: https://trainsova.pitt.edu/forums

[aluser]

How do I select the type of page?

Mice list of sub-forum

<?php if ( post_password_required() ) : ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘form’, ‘protected’ );?>

<!– IF NOT HAVE APASSOWORD –>
<?php else: ?>

<!– => LOOP CATEGORY –>
<?php if ( bbp_is_forum_category() && !bbp_has_topics() ) : ?>
<p>ITS A MACRO-FORUM (category)</p>
<?php include “common/forums_category.php” ?>

<!– => LOOP FORUMS –>
<?php elseif ( bbp_is_forum_category() && bbp_has_topics() ) : ?>

<?php endif; ?>

sorry for my unfamiliarity with php and bbPress …
thank you

Template hierarchy in detail

This page is a great initiative to make explained each part.. but for me still has a problem…

I can’t identify those parts in the layout… could someone do a visual scratch for elements over some “twenty” template?

I really, really appreciate 😉

Hi guys and gals,

I’ve searched up and down for this and haven’t been able to find anything.

Is it possible to set up bbPress to show the latest post/reply when you click on a thread?

Currently, if I have say 3 pages, clicking on a discussion will take me to the first page and the first post. I’d like it to take me to the latest reply in the thread when I click on the thread topic.

Possible? Thanks for any help on this!

Hi. I have just converted a PHPBB v3.1.10 to BBPress using the 2.6 alpha version. I am unsure whether the user passwords are converted or not.

In the codex https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/importing-data/import-forums/phpbb/ it says “Existing passwords are converted during the import so users can login to WordPress/bbPress as soon as the import and recounts have finished.”
However, in the importer it says “Non-bbPress passwords cannot be automatically converted. They will be converted as each user logs in.”

I don’t know if they have been converted or what is meant by “They will be converted as each user logs in.”

Can you tell me what the status of the WP User passwords is and what the users can or need to do?

Cheers

WordPress 4.6.1, bbPress 2.5.10, sorry, no link because the forum is closed

With Auto-Embed enabled, some threads won’t load at all or need as long as 20 min. to load.
I created a test thread and found the problem occurs when there are links to other threads within the forum. Although I only created three messages which all contain nothing but a link to another thread within the forum, the page has to load 250 MB of data and hundreds of www-embed-player.js. Also, more than a thousand recourses are loaded (well, one of the linked threads has lots of embedded YouTube videos).

When Auto-Embed is on bbPress shows the topic of the linked thread instead of the link, which is good. But it seems that everything from that linked thread is already loaded and I’m not even sure that if those linked threads contain links to other threads as well, that those are not loaded, too.
I’m don’t know why it is loaded, because it is (of course) not shown. If Auto-Embed is off, everything is fine.

Is there something we can do about that behavior? What we need, are YouTube and especially SoundCloud files that can be played from within the thread and links to other threads that won’t load the complete content without showing it.

Any ideas?

Guido

I can’t recall where I had found this code, fairly certain on the forums here, but here is a pastebin of the code:
http://pastebin.com/J9whPuCV

It shows category forums and then any forums beneath it, up to one level. It isn’t the entire hierarchical display but could be modified somehow, I would imagine, to show more. How I’m not sure.

You will want to place this file in your child theme in the themes/childtheme/bbpress directory; you’ll want to name the file loop-forums.php

Note: I did change the names of my forum’s columns to Topics, Posts, and Recent, for what its worth.
