@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.

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.
Pascal.
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
Pascal.
Hi,
Can you both please give some info:
– WP version
– bbPress version
– Any plugins that could have an influence
Thanks, Pascal.
Hello! I excuse for my english, it is not my native language.
I have a same problem. I think that issue relates to long topics (more than 100 pages) too. Ğ¢emporarily this trouble resolves by bbpress’s repair tools – Recalculate the position of each reply. But after posting some new posts in topic this problem returns.
Do you resolve this?
Everything is on top of each other (the width is greatly reduced and I only see a portion of the search field and button) in the forum only on its main page.
Snippet of what I think is the problem:
</head>
<body class=”forum-archive bbpress archive post-type-archive post-type-archive-forum logged-in admin-bar no-customize-support”>
<div id=”page” class=”hfeed site”>
Through trial and error, the word responsible for the problem is in the body class and it’s “archive,” when I remove only this word, the main page of the forum looks fine.
Any thoughts on where to go to fix this problem? Not sure what file to edit.
Thanks.
Hi,
What is ‘newest bbPress’ for you ? 2.5.8 or the 2.6-alpha version ?
Pascal.
Importing with the newest bbpress importer doesn’t work. The users from myBB don’t get imported. Using your MyBB.php class also didn’t help. Where can i find the bugtracker for the importer?
Nothing under appearance is changing the Large font size of the bbpress forum. Everywhere I have looked, css is required, I am just unsure where I need to add any code required, and what the code is.
@superaven @willywonkabar
v2.6 is in a pretty advanced state now. You can download the current alpha version from https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/bbpress.zip . It has improved a lot in, amongst other things, importing from other forums.
It would be of great help if both of you could test it and let us know your feeling about it.
Pascal.
Hey willywonkabar,
Unfortunately, I never tried. As mentioned further up, the fix needed for us to do so was supposed to be rolled into v2.6 which was due out soon. You’ll note on the download page that after all this time, the latest stable release is still at 2.5.8, so unfortunately BBPress isn’t even an option for us yet. Really sucks, because we’ve lost massive amounts of traffic struggling with bridge options and so far none have been all that great. We moved from vBulletin and settled on Xenforo as at least there appeared to be plugins to bridge their forum system to WordPress, but we’ve found after paying and testing the top 3 or so, that all come with compromises of one sort or another. We’re actually in the process of a major development effort now to move from a fully custom theme to a commercial theme for the purposes of simplifying the complexity of everything and dropping the various plugins and custom development we’d been using for our authentication and member roles. Hoping this improves the situation with the bridge, but not holding my breath. I really wish I could move us to an integrated solution like BBPress so we no longer have to worry about hacked bridges and unreliable authentication, but until BBPress improves the methods of how data is stored, it isn’t an option for large / active forums.
Sorry I don’t have better news for you.
i’ve been able to create the (correctly displaying) test page thanks to a plugin recommended by moderator Robin W. thanks, robin!
Hey superaven,
Did you ever complete your move to BBPress? I’m looking to do the same from a 4.2.2 install, 300k+ members, 60K threads, 600K+ posts, and was hoping for some feedback on successful medium/big board moves.
If so, care to share how the migration went, any hiccups in the migration, specific thoughts about overall performance you’re experiencing, and any limitations in features or lack of features as compared to VB?
As I see also mentioned in this thread, 2.6 is still not out (88% complete), with 2.5.8 the most recent release.
Thanks!
