I have searched the forum and can’t find anywhere to find the BBPRESS importer. I have an old PHPBB forum that I’d love to move over to my brand new BBPRESS one but eveyr post says the importer is under TOOLS>IMPORT and I don’t see that listed. Am I missing a plugin? Can I get the steps listed?
I added bbPress to Mantra 4.4.2. Looked like it was a winner. Logged out of the administration mode and did something else for a while. Went back and tried to log in to the administration mode again and all I got was the internet website. I finally had to to to the server and delete the bbPress plugin. Then logging into the administration mode was no problem. How to correct so that doesn’t happen.
you have an entry in your /forums/#6 css file line 288 which says
#bbpress-forums {
margin-top: -70px !important;
}
remove this and it will display correctly.
Several of the wordpress access manager products will allow you to control who can do stuff to what
I think (from memory) that ‘user role editor’
and if you are happy with a bit of code, then this will help you define new roles/admin existing and control access

If it is a Genesis theme, it may not play nicely with bbpress.
to fix have you added
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-genesis-extend/
plenty of plugins, just google ‘wordpress export csv’ and look for one that exports custom post types.
BBpress using custom post types of ‘forum’, ‘topic’, ‘reply’
I set up a new WordPress blog today and set it up with no changes. I may not ever use the blog but wanted the bbpress forum. I added the plugin and created several test forums. But every time I create a forum I cannot view it – I get “This page can’t be displayed”. I’ve tried just about everything you recommend (everything I can understand) and even deleted the plugin and reinstalled it. Nothing seems to work.

Hi @tkserver – yes it was the
custom bbpress “threaded view” layout, which is the home page of utehub.com.
that I was discussing – it looks really amazing !
Thanks @robin-w so perhaps we may be discussing two different things?
This thread is related to my work on a custom like/dislike plugin for wordpress and bbpress. I did resolve the issue I described in the first post.
I then integrated the like/dislike plugin into my custom bbpress “threaded view” layout, which is the home page of utehub.com.
So just wondering which one you are talking about? I have a couple of threads here discussing the threaded view.
I’ve been searching for a solution on this for hours, to no avail, and it seems like such a simple thing:
All I want to do is have my website show other users’ basic info when I click their name in a forum post.
For example, if I write a forum post, another user should be able to click on my name and see the profile info that I’ve added to my profile in the backend–e.g. “Contact Info” and “About Yourself” (email address, website, biographical info)–on a page on my site.
Right now, when they click on my name, or when I click on another forum user’s name, it sends to our 404 page.
What gives? Pretty much any site I’ve ever used that has multiple users allows you to click their name to see their bio. It seems insane that WordPress/bbPress doesn’t have this basic feature. And I haven’t even been able to find a plugin or any kinds of codes to make this happen. I’ve found all kinds of plugins that allow you to add additional user fields (like social media info) or prettier front-end login pages, but nothing that just displays another user’s contact/bio info.
Thanks in advance for your help.

It’s been a while but looks like nobody has done anything yet, so it’s time to start…
I’ve created a repository for this issue: https://github.com/NeoID/bbpress-converters-drupal6
All tables have been updated to work with Drupal 6/Advanced forum 6.x, but for some reason it’s stuck on “Starting Conversion…”. Any ideas would be appreciated!
Hey TK – love this layout – and hate that your commentary got lost – any chance you could give us some code and hints that would let others share this great work.
I’m happy to help if stuff needs putting together eg i’m happy to write connecting sentences for non-experts if you do one liners for someone who knows what they are doing, and post stuff on the documentation part of bbpress etc.
Would be a real shame for a great looking site not to become better used !!
Feel free to contact me via my website if easier http://www.rewweb.co.uk
The user can do this by editing their profile.
The do that by clicking their name or avatar anywhere on the site.
Now that is not obvious, so

Hello Pascal,
I can’t show you my site, it’s in local.
I bought a theme, but I know it’s not the problem, because this yellow box wasn’t there before.
I erased the file bbpress in the plugin and reinstall it but the problem is still there.
How can I remove this undesired yellow box
Pretty much what you’ve described is what I am seeking. I currently have a blog page but I would need to create a topic to which any visitor can reply without needing permission from me or need to join anything.
I want the visitor to simply be able to ask a question [create topic?] so myself or anyone can reply to that question/topic. Would i have that scenario with bbpress please?
Bumping actually has the opposite effect – as most mods look for posts with 0 replies, so by replying to your own post, we only get round to them later !
start with
Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1
can you explain a bit more !
You can allow anonymous posting on bbpress, so people who have not joined can post ‘topics’ which will be questions, but this will also allow them to reply to others.
To insert a topic in a parent forum with given id. But after successful insertion the topic shows up in other forums and doesnt remain inside the parent forum. The code is a standard way to insert a topic in bbpress programmatically.
I am just trying to learn this so I can build my website. Thanks for your attention.

Hey guys, I am looking around for a utility which will allow visitors to my site to ask any questions but without having to join a forum, is this possible with bbpress please?
Cool, as its no biggie, I’ve added your site to our list here: https://bbpress.org/about/examples/ 🙂
Got it to work. Just had to install a child theme with support for bbPress xD.
So I managed to remove the right sidebar of bbPress by duplicating the “page.php” file and renaming it “forum.php” and dropping that into my parent theme folder. No more sidebar…
BUT now the bbPress breadcrumb is right behind the Page Title (overlapping). Is there any way to correct this?
Thanks,
John
