Yeah, a pure MySQL will always be better, for bbPress 1.x imports both the topics and replies steps of the imports have a table join that is currently required for topics to determine the 1st post and ignore replies, then for replies to ignore the topic.

I’ve got some ideas on how we can eliminate this join which would speed things up significantly but that will have to wait a bit as it involves refactoring the entire process, that then means refactoring the other ~24 importers to also work. At the moment this process is all manual, try this, try that, and that makes it incredibly time consuming. Hopefully not to far down the road I can automate much of this with bbPress’ new testing setup much of the manual work can be eliminated and iterating the importers can happen alot faster.

[Stephen Edgar]

Regarding option 1, is it even possible and does such a script exist?

Yes, there one, maybe two scripts, but they are quite out of date.

Regarding option 2, what are the required wp_postmeta keys I would need to generate?

Have you looked at the internals of any of the ~25 importers included with bbPress?

phpBB and SMF are the two most “feature complete” in that they import nearly 100% of the required wp_postmeta fields.

A basic example version of an importer is included, Example.php in the `/includes/admin/converters/ folder, its fairly basic, when comparing it with either the phpBB or SMF importers it might make more sense. There is also some initial documentation on modifying this yourself https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/importing-data/import-forums/custom-import/

If you upload to https://gist.github.com/ or somewhere, take a screenshot of it from phpMyAdmin I’ll happily help you get it up and running.

Also, I suggest using bbPress 2.6-alpha, loads of importer improvements over bbPress 2.5.9, you can grab it from here https://bbpress.org/download/

Unfortunately the original Sucuri article incorrectly stated what versions of bbPress were affected, the article has seen been updated to document what versions of bbPress were affected. bbPress 2.5.9 patched the security issue documented by Sucuri.

Ok, the weird issue.

I’m trying to get the forum working on a child theme, however, it is being displayed as a blog posts. Switching to the parent theme makes it display normally. I found that while child theme is activated, bbpress injects into archive-listing.php of my child theme.

Now, It tried all I could think off. All tutorials, documentation, support topics. It doesn’t matter whether I create a custom bb theme, creating bbpress.php, plugin-bbpress.php or any other file name I found in documentation. It always injects into the same template and displayed as posts.

If I create a new page and input a [bbp-forum-index], it is displayed properly. However, as soon as I click on a single forum or topic, it gets displayed on a different template again and ignoring bbpress.php.

I evein tried echoing some custom words inside the templates to see do they even get loaded somewhere. But “hello world” didn’t appear anywhere.

This issue is clearly not related to bbpress as it works on other themes, the issue is within my child theme. But I don’t have any idea what to do!! I spent last few days googling for a solution without a luck.

Do I need to add some kind of filters or actions inside my child theme functions.php??

If anyone has encountered with this issue or can offer a solution, it would be most appreciated!

WP:4.5.1
BBPRESS: 2.5.9

Thanks!

which is why 2.5.9 has been released

I am assessing installing this for a client and am new to bbpress, but have 9 years with WordPress.

What default user profile fields come with the basic single site installation of bbpress, and how customizable are they.

Specifically, my clients wants to have name, company and a question answered (i.e. why are you here). And no other fields other than what is desired.

And are their options to require fields if so desired?

And as a side question: Is there any recommendation or advice on whether to install this in a client’s existing website or duplicate their theme and install that theme with WordPress and bbpress on a subdomain and have the forum there?

Thanks so much,

David

Anyone know about this?

During regular research audits of our Sucuri Firewall, we discovered a Stored XSS vulnerability affecting the bbPress plugin for WordPress, currently installed on 300,000 live websites, one of them being the popular wordpress.org support forum.

Exploitation Level: Easy/Remote
DREAD Score: 6/10
Vulnerability: Stored XSS
Patched Version: bbPress 2.5.9
As a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability, it could allow this user to hijack other user accounts, perform actions on their behalf (like administrators, moderators, etc.) to escalate its user’s privileges.

Half the site is 404 errors. My theme uses/recommenced rtmedia, I updated it and all went wacky. Only thing working Is the forums!

Now I had many plugins going but shut Every single one down except bbpress/buddypress. Even required theme plugins. Ive even deleted 90% of them and still cant fix the issue…

I know this is not my ‘support’ Im just at wits end and cant fix it, Im reaching out hoping someone can help… I can pay. We have 200+ members, while not a lot its a lot for us as we are so new.

We’ve been half down for about 8 hours now…

Hi,
I have problem with bbpress after update. I get message:

@jkuzma, I’ve moved this to its own topic.

I did not think your issue was to do do with 2.5.9, as you’d replied to I have the same exact problem to the original authors post from before bbPress 2.5.9 was released.

Can you add here a list of your plugins and the theme you’re using so I can try and replicate your setup and reproduce the issue please.

p.s. I won’t be able to now, but will look in the mornings its half past midnight here local time, and yawn, I’m tired 😉

[jkuzma]

Most likely all the above replies which are *not* the same thing, they are all different errors are caused by the same thing though, a plugin or theme conflict.

Yes, a BBPress conflict, because this issue did not exist prior to updating yesterday (May 2nd.)

This is a problem on the backend, and is not theme or plugin dependent, as I’m seeing it on more than one site. I have even reverted back to the previous version of BBPress, changed my PHP version, etc.

I get this error anytime I am editing/updating a post/page on the backend. The post/page will end up saving, but the errors popup, sometimes with wp-includes/pluggable.php as well (which I’ve also replaced.)

I’ve also gone through the tedious process of uninstalling and reinstalling every plugin on my site. It’s quite obvious that disabling only BBPress fixes the problem, which is not a solution by any means.

Hi there Kelly,

I’m the developer of WP-SpamShield. I’m sorry to hear about the issue you’re having and I’ll be happy to help.

That sounds like you have a some type of conflict that is more specific to your site setup or configuration. We have a lot of users on bbPress, and most are having no issues. (We do a lot of testing to ensure compatibility.) So, there shouldn’t be any generalized conflicts with bbPress.

We have put together some excellent troubleshooting options for our plugin users, including FAQs, a Troubleshooting Guide, Known Conflicts page, and Support Request page.

Please take a few minutes to work through the Troubleshooting Guide and FAQs, as these solve over 90% of issues users have.

One of the things that the Troubleshooting Guide and FAQs will ask you to do is turn on logging. When logging is enabled, anything the plugin blocks will be logged. If you feel that there is a conflict, and something is being blocked that shouldn’t be, you can test it out after you enable logging. If it doesn’t show up in the log, then that tells you that something other than the plugin is blocking it.

If the information provided doesn’t solve the issue for you, we’ll need a bit more info from you on the specifics, and we’ll need to email back and forth, so please head over to the WP-SpamShield Support Form, and take a moment to fill out a support request. That will allow us to help you diagnose this, find out what the real issue is, and get things working right for you. (If the issue does by chance turn out to be a bug in the plugin, we always try to fix those within 24 hours, and get a new version out with the fix.)

Please note that the WP-SpamShield Support page is our main support venue, not the WordPress or bbPress forums here, so that will always be the best way to get a quick response and resolve any tech support issues.

Hi Stephan
nice work for the update. But it is forgotten the pagination when threaded reply is activated.
Will bbpress do this integrate asap?

Best regards.

PS: I made the patch it was mentioned before.

[asoukhoverkhov]

I am in trouble. Menu link /wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=reply does’t work. It leads to a page with a notice that page does’t work and
ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE…

I’ve tried do uninstall and to reinstal bbPress but it does’t help. I have thousands of topics and replies already, my forum is not empty. What should I do?..

[Robkk]

@janeakshar

You have to create a child theme, and copy and edit the feedback-no-search.php template, and put that edited file in a folder called bbpress in that child theme.

[Robkk]

If you are using bbPress moderation you go to the plugin settings and disable only allow approval once.

[Robkk]

This have clickable category links though, but you can use this file in a folder called bbpress in a child theme.

Having created a 2nd keymaster user this sounds like a plugin conflict, follwo the steps here to see if you can narrow down which plugin is causing the conflict

[Stephen Edgar]

For the bbp_setup_current_user issue see:

bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly

Most likely all the above replies which are *not* the same thing, they are all different errors are caused by the same thing though, a plugin or theme conflict.

See this https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/troubleshooting/

[Robkk]

@zimmermannc You can use this code php code snippet/plugin and it will put the forum form in bbPress user profiles for users that can moderate.

https://gist.github.com/ntwb/9887310

[Robkk]

You can use something like this.

Add this php code snippet into your child themes functions.php file or add the function to a plugin like functionality.

add_action( 'bbp_theme_after_topic_author_details', 'rkk_add_register_date' );
add_action( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details', 'rkk_add_register_date' );
function rkk_add_register_date() {{ ?>
  <span class="bbp-user-register-time">
    <?php printf( __( 'Member since: %s',    'bbpress' ),
    date( get_option( 'date_format' ), strtotime( get_the_author_meta( 'user_registered' ) ) )
    ); ?>
  </span>
<?php }}
