Hi folks,

Trouble with SMF 2.0.7 to bbpress 2.6 beta import
Wordpress version 4.5.3

I’ve just imported the SMF forums here on my server –

http://www.holistic-counseling.ca/Forums/index.php

to bbpress here on my server:

http://nutopia.cc/Holistic-Counseling-WP/holistic-counseling-community-forums/

you’ll need to login to see.

p/w [redacted]

At first glance, everything appears fine, although the number in the Posts column seems to be a product of adding the number of topics to the number of replies in a given forum. I don’t mind this.
Freshness shows zero, but that’s not a big deal either bc A) I can fix the freshness (but it results in losing posts and replies in the forums. B) Once new forum posts happen, it will repopulate.

now here’s the main issue
Upon clicking on a forum, it says:

This forum contains 8 topics and 15 replies.

Viewing 4 topics – 1 through 4 (of 4 total)

So the top area states how many topics there are accurately but then only 4 are actually displayed.
This problem is consistent across the other forums. (sometimes only 3 or 2 are displayed when more are stated above)

Any idea what that is about? It’s the main issue.

note: i did a repair Recalculate last activity in each topic and forum
and then the bottom forum dropped to 0 and 0.
Any of the forum repairs that I use that involve Topics creates problems in the number of topics and replies and doesn’t fix anything.

HELP is much appreciated.

since my forums are quite small and seem to be largely well imported, I would be willing to manually fix the incorrect topics and replies in the database. But I have no idea how to do that. At this point, I am satisfied with any solution to get all the topics and posts from the other SMF forum up and running.

I have noticed a potential legal issue. If the forum users all start receiving notifications and they want to unsubscribe, they can’t do this through the email notification that they receive.
I believe legally, they must have the option to unsubscribe within the email.
can this be done with bbpress?

[haddly]

Hi,
do i add this file to the bbpress plugin directory?
i have lots of directories in my server and not exactly sure where to place the “topic subscribe.php.
thanks

Hi,

I’m having some issues between bbpress and Ultimate Member plugin.
Ultimate Member has a feature that lets us add custom permissions on the menu’s links, allowing X user role to see Y links on the menu. It always works well, except when I’m on the forums root (smilang.com/forums), where all logged-in users see the website menu as group X, no matter their current role. If they go on a specific forum or topic, the issue goes away and the menu gets back to normal.

See the images for an example:

On the forums root (Not OK)

Elsewhere on the forums (OK)

I’ve also contacted Ultimate Member’s support team about this, I just did a plugin and theme conflict test, it doesn’t seem like it’s my theme nor any other plugins than UM and bbpress. I’m waiting for their answer now but I was wondering if you could find anything that would cause this.

I’m using bbpress 2.6-alpha, I just updated in hopes it would fix things but it doesn’t change anything. WordPress 4.5.3
Thanks!

Hello,

Bbpress is a very nice forumscript, but it can’t handle big forums.
We have imported an big phpbb forum in bbpress with this statics (+1000K posts, +70k topics, +50k users)
BBpress need almost 30 second to place a new topic or post.

This problem is NOT a serverproblem.
It is sure that BBPRESS can’t handle a big database.
When i reset my forum (remove all posts and topic) Then creating a post/topic it take 1 second.

I’ve search the internet and BBpress has this problem al several years.
There as topics from 2004 with this problem.

Developers Please think about this problem.

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]

ok, on font/style that link doesn’t have a reply – can you create one so that I can see the issue.

on the topic/reply order – try this plugin – I haven’t used it but it seems to do what you want !

Hello we just installed bbPress and have a minor issue. It is probably a setting or something not I have not set up correctly im guessing.

Ok so the forum itself loads up ok fine, example:

Test Forum

However if we goto

https://aont.uk/forums/

The page does not show anything really worthwhile.

I have even created a page called “Forums” and added just the line [bbp-forum-index] onto the page, but still it shows up nothing of any use.

Anyone know what is going on here and how I could fix it?

Many thanks

And I found the solution:

Navigation Links Return 404s Errors

1. Removing the breadcrumbs

if you are fine with code then :

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

if not then use my style pack plugin to turn them off

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

[Robin W]

ok, so something is turning it off.

Hey guys, I am having an interesting problem with bbpress.
When I try to reply to someones post (not signed in) using Google Chrome. I am unable to fill the login form.
However, I am able to create a new topic (Still not signed in) just not reply

[Robin W]

it works with postname

bbpress uses much of the theme characteristics so if the theme is compliant then bbpress should be there.

you can also use my style pack

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

to style to get improved fonts etc.

I suspect that your theme or another plugin might be interfering.

ok, so for the header you have

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-header
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-header

and on content you have

#bbpress-forums .bbp-topic-content,
#bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-content

You could also download my style plugin

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

and either use that or look at the styles.php file in the css folder for styling css and use what you need.

[Robin W]

ok, I’d strongly recommend you have a testing site.

Creating a Test Site

Whilst it will take an initial effort to set up, it is well worthwhile

[adanoski]

I have WordPress 4.5.3 running AccessPress Pro theme on my site with the latest version of bbpress at 2.5.10.

I have the Search Function in my forum unfortunately the forum is not public. When I try to search, it only searches through the WordPress posts that I’ve created and not through the forum. I’ve searched with words that I know are included in the topics and topic names.

The search is doing the literal opposite of what I want it to do and what it says it should be doing.

[Robin W]

probably a conflict –

WordPress Version: 4.5.3

Well, this is a strange one. The formatting toolbar (above each editor area with the bold, italics, link, etc. buttons) disappears when someone is logged into my forum.

I have already tried disabling all other plugins, to no avail. No change from clearing my browser’s cache or trying different browsers either.

Any ideas what might be causing this?

[phileas013]

I would like the questions to be displayed the same way that on this bbpress forum.
I want them to look very different from replies.
Thanks
Phil
