If you are not doing any special things in your plugin, then in most of the cases it’s a plugin that is trying to do some ‘illegal’ stuff.
Please try to deactivate all plugins except bbPress and try.
Sorry for keeping you going…
Yes, there’s an error with some of the menu_order bits. In addition to @nesiditsa’s edit (the same as this patch: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/5392) you might need to apply these as well: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/5338
Hi,
bbPress has a converter from vbulletin. You can install the latest stable bbPress 2.5.8 as a plugin to your WordPress and start the conversion. I would however like to indicate that bbPress 2.6-alpha (so not yet stable) is however much improved for conversions, so it could be an option to do it with that version.
You can find information on installing and importing in the codex: https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/
I found some hack to resolve problem with wrong calculation of position of new post in long topics.
I change false to true in line 356 of file with path /plugins/bbpress/includes/replies/functions.php.
Before changes: ‘menu_order’ => bbp_get_topic_reply_count( $topic_id, false ) + 1
After changes: ‘menu_order’ => bbp_get_topic_reply_count( $topic_id, true ) + 1
And it works for me!
I’m considering moving my vbulletin forum to bbpress. But I want to be able programmatically create the forum because it’s impossible to migrate manually. Any suggestions? Where do I even start?
Tried out bbPress 2.6-alpha. Still didnt work.
WordPress 4.4.1
bbPress v 2.5.8
I have installed the forum all is good so far but I am wanting to limit access of the forum to registered users.
This forum is intended to be a benefit for paid members and I am using the Paid Membership Pro plugin and woocommerce to set up the memberships. While this plugin lets me limit other areas of my website to members, such is not the case for bbPress. Nor can I find a way in bbPress settings to limit access to registered users. I see where I can limit who can post but not who can visit and read the forums. Any thoughts on how I might make this work?

Hi,
Did you tick ‘Settings > Forums > Auto Role’ before starting the import ?
Some technical talk : The bbPress role is part of an array in the meta fields of a user. If Import users is using the normal way of creating a user, then setting the ‘Auto Role’ should be enough.
I know the plugin can import meta fields, but I only did that with strings, but no idea if it can ‘add’ to an existing array.

I tried importing a little over 400 users using Import users from CSV. The import is fine, however I am unable to bulk change the role of the imported users to participant, nor have I found a way to import them as participants in one go. How would I go about this? Thanks in advance.
Hi,
As written above, I would propose to test with bbPress v2.6-alpha and see how it goes with the import. There should be no issues about the size of topics/replies you have. The import start on the first one and … just goes to the last one !

@casiepa,
I am thinking of migrate my XenForo forums to bbpress forums.
My problem is that my fourms data are very huge approx 169000 users and approx 6269000 rows of xf_post table so my XenForo’s database’s table sizes are in giga bites.
-> So my question is does bbpress default importer tools is able to import these huge data on single click.?
-> Is there any extension or plugin required to import my users and forums from XenForo ?
Please let me know your thoughts so that I can move forward to it.
Thanks,
Multidots
@netweb,
How can I import my xenforo user to bbpress site?.
My forums imported successfully but user are not created in my bbpress site which are in xenforo.
Hi,
bbPress builds on top of WordPress. Any WordPress user that has at least ‘participant’ access can post on your forums.
So you need to make sure your users stay ‘clean’. I use wangguard for that and Theme My Login with a captcha so I’m rather sure that my users are real and they get checked if they would be sploggers or not. So you will need some extra plugins to safeguard, or you make sure that everybody is set ‘for approval’ so you can decide.
But this is a pure WordPress matter, not a bbPress one.
Pascal.
For importing, did you try to do it in test on bbPress 2.6-alpha (https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/bbpress.zip) ?
Importing has improved a lot in that version.

Hi,
You will have to follow the normal troubleshooting way to get out of this:
– Switch to a standard WP theme and see if that helps. If it does, ask the support of the theme author.
– Switch off all plugins, then see if it works, then switch them on one after the other.

Hi, i just added a bbpress forum to my website. You have to be register to be able to post something(wich i want i don’t want anybody to be able to post something). But where do i have to register the new users? On the same database that my admin credidentials? Or do i have to create an other database? Right now anyone can register and already two people did it, wich i guess are bots because they did not post anything on the forum. So do i also have to change the login url to avoid this? Thanks
I did. In fact, after I ran about 6 of them, one after the other, working my way down, it kills the blog completely, throwing a server 500 error. I’d have to reset bbpress and start the import again.
I am not sure what is happening or what is the issue, but i am asking in different places hoping one can help me.
I have bbpress installed with Headway Theme on a WP site.
Until recently, i was able to edit post from members but now, whenever i click on Edit or Move, i am just redirected to the Blog page. So i have no way to edit the posts to help the members who made errors in their posts.
Also, i noticed that whenever i click on any subsection of the forum, the BLOG appears active in the navigation menu. This has always been the case since i installed bbpress and although it is a minor annoyance, everything used to work correctly otherwise.
Any explanation why i can no longer edit? I am not sure if it is a bbpress issue, or a Headway issue (i posted on Headway too) or a WP issue.
Any idea?
Here is the link to the forum on my site:

I am using WP 4.4.1 and bbpress 2.5.8
Thank you.
Hi!
WordPress 4.4.1 (i have this problem on older versions)
BbPress 2.5.8-5815
Installed plugins are:
bbPress Moderation
BuddyPress
GD bbPress Attachments
I’ve been stuck on this problem for a while now. We recently migrated our website from Rackspace to AWS hosting. Reinstalled wordpress, bbpress, and was able to migrate most of the site. Now I’m having problems with the Forums, Topics, and Replies.
On my forum page it shows the number of topic and replies, but when you click on it, it doesn’t show them, and on the topics you can click on, it won’t show the replies. I exported them using Tools>Export and exported Forums, Topics, and Replies, and imported them the same way, assigning them users. I can see every topic and reply in the wordpress panel, just not in my forums.
My forums can be seen here http://freeskies.co/forums/forums/.
This problem also affects new topics. When I create a new topic, it will remove all of these topics and posts and reset the count, even though i can still see them in the wordpress panel.
Hi,
I have no idea what icon that could be. Is it a public website, could you share the link ?
What WP and bbPress version ?
Thanks, Pascal.
Hi,
That is a WordPress issue, not a specific bbPress issue. In most of the cases it is because WordPress checks for Nonce in an admin url and the check fails. You will have to search in that way.

Hi everyone.
I recently made a theme for a client and this is the first time I’ve included bbpress. Bbpress works with the default themes, but not for my custom theme and I can’t seem to find any documentation around to fix this – I’m getting the “Error: Are you sure you want to do this?” message.
Is there a theme support option I need to enable or something?
Regards,
Aaron.
Hi,
Did you try on the support site for the theme ? It’s might be that they are not bbPress compliant
