Since you still need help on this. First do not import SMF to phpbb, just try leaving it in SMF and import from there. users have had problems importing from phpBB lately but not SMF.
You have to make sure you are not using a remote database.
Make sure to always check the import troubleshooting.

You need help with bbPress using a certain theme template?? Is that what you are saying??
This guide will help you (I hope), I am not entirely sure you want specifically though. I bet the information is useful to learn though.
Getting Started in Modifying the Main bbPress Template
Hi. I have simple course management site. I create each course with simple post assigned to specific category. What I really need is to assign a forum discussion to each course. It means that for every post with specific category I need a specific forum discussion. Is there any solution in bbPress?
thanks in advance
Hello,
I installed bbPress for the first time.
bbPress has displaying the proper theme on my forum home page but it is not using the page format I want.
It is using the them for my blog page listing all the recent widgets for blog content down the right hand page. Instead of want it to be a standard context page where the blog is centered on the page like it would be more my “about me” or “contact us” page.
How do I modify the theme for the home ?post_type=forum or one of my forum pages ?forum=general-forum-2
Thanks,
Chris
Hi there!
I have tried to troubleshoot, and I had a bbpress on that theme before.
I have also had bbpress before with all the plugins i have now.
Both BBpress and WordPress is updatet to the newest.
Try some troubleshooting, and also link to your site to a forum where the error occurs. Also tell me your WordPress and bbPress versions are.

There is a 2 link limit on these forums, these links include links in images.
Is this the topic you are talking about??
SMF Import Help Needed
What kind of features are you looking for? BuddyPress can handle most of the social network aspects that vBull does.
Since you said layout are you looking for something similar to this??
Not really a bbPress issue, but you can follow this if there is not a register link by default.

Hi, I’m new to WordPress and bbPress
I’ve just installed bbPress and BuddyPress for the first time.
I was mucking about, looking around to work out how things work.
I thought I’d log out of Admin and try and see if I could see what it would be like to register as a new user. But there is no “register” link showing up anywhere?
Below is a screen capture of part of the screen of what I see, no register, just log in.
Any help appreciated.
Hi all. I have a WordPress site with a fresh install of bbpress on it for my forums. That said, the default bbpress theme for my site looks absolutely awful, so I was wondering how to install another theme or even just change the colors just for my forums. This is what it’s looking like at the moment.
I recently discovered this theme here that looks alright. Is there some way I could import that onto my site for JUST the forums? Let me know, thank you!
I forgot to mention does bbPress support multiple languages?
Hi
This is an interesting thread.
I have a large vBulletin 5.1.7 forum and after reading this topic I am thinking about migrating to bbPress.
I have powerful dedicated server solely for the forum, the forum has topics: 129,286 Posts: 3,055,650 Members: 51,108
Is there a script to import my forum into bbPress?
Can the WordPress plugin W3 Total Cache be used with bbPress to boost perform dance?
Many thanks for your help.

Hi there, I am having a slightly strange issue in that I have just installed:
Wordpress 4.2.4
BuddyPress 2.3.2.1
bbPress 2.5.8
Everything appears to be fine except for the little fact that I have no bbPress admin sections in the dashboard.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Hi,
I was not able to find a shortcode like [bbPress_forum] to add a forum on a page. Is there a code available?
the bbpress.php template looks fine to me.
There might be other custom functions for bbPress somewhere though? or cache?
Try some troubleshooting. See if it is a plugin issue, issue is only present in your custom theme, and maybe run the repair tools to recalculate.
Troubleshooting
Thanks for the advice
I have tried following the above troubleshooting steps but it seems to be running into an issue right at the very start, it seems to not even start importing at all. So if I click stop it just stops and doesn’t show me any info on what it had imported, where it got up to. Should it display the detail in the import status window on the page? I also can’t see any topics, posts in the database or in the bbpress forum. Makes me think that it doesn’t even start the import process. Maybe it is getting stuck at the connecting to the database part of the process?
I can’t seem to see any other details or messages other than ‘starting conversion’ and the little circle status symbol spinning.
Where should I be looking to see more detail on what rows it is working on etc?
This might be custom development since it is the reply/topic forms. You may need to hire a developer to create this kind of functionality for you.
If you basically using this as spam protection you can use this.

You can also just link to your terms and condtions in the reply form too.
For registration/login forms you can use this plugin.

You could possible hook the above plugin to work for reply/topic forms somehow though.

This kind of looks normal since when you edit the topic all you see is the Text editor which will show the html tags.
Visual vs Text Editor
Also did you copy and paste the content of the whole topic page as an test, or was it just like that??
Are you using this plugin??

As I expected, was something to do with the rewrite rules. Was a very simple fix, I simply started messing with the rewrite until it worked. This is how mine works flawlessly should anyone have the same issur and somehow stumble across this thread.
Note: This is for lighttpd. This is not an Apache or Nginx solution.
# This is mainly a fix for bbPress and its functions
url.rewrite = (
"^/(wp-admin|wp-includes|wp-content|gallery2)/(.*)" => "$0",
"^/(.*)\.(.+)$" => "$0",
"^/(.+)/?$" => "/index.php/$1"
)
}
All I did here was remove the additional forward slash within each rule.
Now my links work perfectly!
I’d like to add <link rel="prev" href=".." /> and <link rel="next" href=".." /> tags into <head> of bbpress forum page. So I need to get links for the next and previous pages of my forum. It has to be outputed in wp_head action but in that time the bbPress class is not initialized yet, so I cannot get any information from that. Can you help me?
I’m trying to add an additional checkbox under the “notify of follow-up emails” that will simply say “I agree to the terms and conditions” and needs to be required. I already have bbpress templates folder copied into my child theme.
The document I think I should be adding this to is: bbp-reply-form.php
I guess I just can’t figure out if I should create a new function within bbpress or my theme and how exactly I would go about this for this type of request.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you.
Hi guys,
I have spent some evenings using for the first time WP_list_table and understanding the bbpress functions, but this is the plugin I have for the moment : http://casier.eu/dev/bbp-manage-subscriptions/
It will list your users and the forums they are subscribed to. You should be able to (un)subscribe users more easily (well, at least it works for me).
ALL REMARKS WELCOME!
Pascal.
