Hi Stephen,
I think I’ve read about every post on importing a phpBB forum into bbpress, but to no avail. I have managed to find above info in the php.config file and used these in the import settings in bbpress import (I was quite sure I finally found what I was looking for, because I first used user:’root’ and password ‘root’), but I’m getting the exact same result as above: “no users to convert. no passwords to clear, etc. etc.
This is what is running:
I have bbpress 2.5.7 No forums created
WP version 4.2.2
phpBB 3.0.x
Clean install of MAMP 3.2.1.
This is what I did:
I made an export of the phpBB database to be imported.
I am running MAMP
Created a new database on MAMP with the same name as the exported one, then imported the database into MAMP
Use ‘localhost’ on port 3306 (same as on MAMP) and dbname, user, password and prefix as found in the php.config file from the phpBB install.
No luck: “no users to convert. no passwords to clear”, etc. etc…
Your help would be much appreciated!
Thanks!
Henk
Also, I’m running Frontier theme if it matters. I have two websites. I had installed BBPress on one months ago before I swapped to Frontier and that one installed fine. However, I had deactivated. Now that I’m using Frontier there and I tried reinstalling it, the same thing happens: no option to add forums in the dashboard.
Sorry about that, I did not intend to insult anyone, French is my first language and maybe that sound worst that I intended it to be.
For the update you could add a line to check for buddypress xprofiles and check this field instead of the bbpress one :
xprofile_get_field_data( 'Signature', $user_id );
sorry again about that.
The bbp-signature plugin is designed to work with bbpress not with buddypress, so it works fine – I’ve amended your original post to reflect that for future users in the first post to save them needing to read the whole thread.
But the code wasn't too terrible
General open software etiquette is not to insult other software authors, we are all at different levels and any software that works is useful 🙂
The original author of this software is unable to continue supporting it, so I have access to it so that it can continue.
I think it was made to work with buddypress groups whitout xprofiles yes. A simple update could fix that.
If you’d care to suggest code that would make it work for users with and without buddypress, please contact me via my website, as I’d love to include it in the plugin

Your site is not available so I can’t have a look.
If you’re using a custom theme with ‘theme options’ you need to look at the settings there to see if the default setting is with a sidebar, your forum will use this default page unless you create templates specially for it.
Here’s some info on the templates that bbpress looks for in your theme:
https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/
Usually using page.php in most themes, so you could try opening up your page.php, remove the code that includes a sidebar, then save it as bbpress.php
It is really annoying that no one seems to bother…..
bbPress is at this time not showing in the backend of the site, it does in the front end but in a wrong way.
So this afternoon, it stopped showing my topics to my participants too. I went to my staging install and I deactivated every plug-in other than bbPress. The 502 error was still there. So, I deleted the entire forum with all topics and replies. The 502 error was still there. I changed the theme and the error was still there. Is there something else that I can try? I really don’t want to start over and it doesn’t appear that will help anyway.
hello, sorry i already tryed everything about this issues,
i can’t get full width on my forum page
http://teamplay.gamehosting.it/?forum=teamplay
can you help me? i already removed php my sydebar ecc…
Thank you all for your replies.
I have found this solution https://wordpress.org/plugins/gd-bbpress-attachments/screenshots/ which works perfectly!!
Regards,
Andreas
I was able to do this by adding this to my functions.php / custom plugin:
// Add custom fields to bbpress topics on front end
add_action ( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_form_content', 'bbp_extra_fields');
function bbp_extra_fields() {
$value = get_post_meta( bbp_get_topic_id(), 'YOUR-FIELD-NAME', true);
echo '<label for="bbp_extra_field">My Extra Field:</label><br>';
echo "<input type='text' name='YOUR-FIELD-NAME' value='".$value."'>";
}
//Save and update the values from the front end
add_action ( 'bbp_new_topic', 'bbp_save_extra_fields', 10, 1 );
add_action ( 'bbp_edit_topic', 'bbp_save_extra_fields', 10, 1 );
function bbp_save_extra_fields($topic_id=0) {
if (isset($_POST) && $_POST['YOUR-FIELD-NAME']!='')
update_post_meta( $topic_id, 'YOUR-FIELD-NAME', $_POST['YOUR-FIELD-NAME'] );
}
I think that’s correct but am in a bit of a code-haze at the moment! Hopefully it puts you on the right track at least. (And I can’t remember where I got the original code so apologies for not crediting original author)
Hi!
When clicking through bbpress user pages (profile, edit profil, subscriptions etc..) the avatar and the user navigation will be displayed on the left side on all those pages by default.
How can I remove avatar’s and user navigation’s div from all pages except the user’s profile home page to get more space?
Tried this in user-details.php, did not work (blank screen):
<?php if ( bbp_is_user_home() ){ ?>
<div id="bbp-user-avatar">
[...]
</div>
<div id="bbp-user-navigation">
</div>
}
Thanks in advance!
I am pretty much out of ideas as to what to do.
Our website is http://www.geekgirlpenpals.com
We have Godaddy managed wordpress hosting. I call their customer support and they have no idea what’s wrong.
We were using the Hueman theme for a long time, and suddenly yesterday the BBpress plugin began acting up and causing a 500 internal server error. It caused those errors on both Posts and Forums. The error only appears to people who are logged in.
Once I deactivated BBpress, the error was gone (but so were the forums)
Since I knew it was BBpress, I uninstalled and reinstalled BBpress plugin. That did not fix it
I turned on the Twenty Fourteen theme and that seems to show the forums fine. So I went ahead and installed a new theme, thinking it must be a theme issue.
The theme worked great for about 5 hours and showed the forums and blog (while logged in, which is when the problem was occuring) but now as of 5 minutes ago – exact same problem.
Feel free to use username jimbob and password jimbobsauce to test the Internal Server Error
HELP 🙁
Hi!
I ‘d like to change the meta titles (browser’s page title) for bbpress’ profile/user pages as it was not catched by the translation in my language.
So far I tried this which does not work:
function amend_title ()
{ elseif ( bbp_is_single_user() ) {
if ( bbp_is_user_home() ) {
$new_title['text'] = esc_attr_x( 'Translation of Your Profile', 'User viewing his/her own profile', 'bbpress' );
}
} else {
$new_title['text'] = sprintf( esc_attr_x( "%s's", 'User viewing another users profile', 'bbpress' ), get_userdata( bbp_get_user_id() )->display_name );
}
if ( bbp_is_single_user_topics() ) {
$new_title['format'] = esc_attr__( "%s Translation of topics", 'bbpress' );
} elseif ( bbp_is_single_user_replies() ) {
$new_title['format'] = esc_attr__( "%s Translation of replies", 'bbpress' );
} elseif ( bbp_is_favorites() ) {
$new_title['format'] = esc_attr__( "%s Translation of favorites", 'bbpress' );
} elseif ( bbp_is_subscriptions() ) {
$new_title['format'] = esc_attr__( "%s Translation of subscriptions", 'bbpress' );
} else {
$new_title['format'] = esc_attr__( "%s Translation of profile", 'bbpress' );
}
} elseif ( bbp_is_single_user_edit() ) {
if ( bbp_is_user_home_edit() ) {
$new_title['text'] = esc_attr__( 'Translation of edit profile', 'bbpress' );
} else {
$new_title['text'] = get_userdata( bbp_get_user_id() )->display_name;
$new_title['format'] = esc_attr__( "Translation of edit %s's profile", 'bbpress' );
}
return $new_title;
}
add_filter('bbp_before_title_parse_args', 'amend_title' );
Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks!
I am hoping someone here can help me or shed some light on what we can do about this. We have the WishList Member plugin installed, setup and running. It was not until then that we realized that despite the fact you can assign specific forums to each level any topics created by members with access to that level will not inherit that protection.
This means that if member A has access to Forum A by being a member of Level A in WishList member and creates a new Topic, lets say ‘A’. Topic A is now visible to the entire world and not just members with access to Level A. Hope that makes sense.
You can go into the WishList Member settings and protect that topic correctly after the fact, but that is a manual step for each and every topic that members create. That is definitely not going to work long term.
I am hoping someone has some ideas on what we can do about this. I have contacted WishList Member and they say despite the fact they say the ‘integrate’ with bbPress they do not support this. Which I think is a cop out, since you can go in afterwards and protect the topics…
Revival!
It gets hilariously worse when running a MultiSite – Calling a SubSite “Forum” – then working around this issue. The bigger your site, the less you want everything to weigh for User loading and Server handling. There’s now an option in the bbPress Settings called ‘Prefix all forum content with the Forum Root slug (Recommended)’ – I’ve unchecked it. I’m willing to bet I run into *at least* one hundred different user issues now that I’ve done so. This was definitely designed for the smaller blog, even with it’s latest updates I’m having unrelated issues not addressed in documentation.
I’m an advanced User, too. As cool as BuddyPress is, it’s pretty much useless without bbPress integration. As much as people would like to pretend (yep, you’re dreaming) their running their own “social media website”, it’s an unrealistic dream compared to running a Forum. Financing that dream over the Forum is poor form, but w/e.
By the time it gets addressed, the advanced users with thousands of of hits a day wont change it. Why? Because of the Social Media Integration like Facebook, Twitter, and G+ – NOT BUDDYPRESS (which I run for other much different *fluffy* reasons). Likes and Shares are gold, it’s networking and sales. We will weigh our links; SHARING LINKS and LIKES; over making the url pretty for SEO at that point… no matter how terrific the fix.
8 years too late pretty much. I know it’s community driven – and that’s respectable. Doesn’t change the bigger picture, though, and imo this plugin outweighs BuddyPress in importance concerning the current evolution of WordPress itself.
yes but does that mean there are multiple login processes? once into the membership section and another into bbPress? Im simply wanting a forum to be part of my membership section so is there a way to modify the ‘forum’ page settings?
I use to have a good custom function on my theme that add custom banners before articles, what I do is to write a function with the rotation ads inside.
The final lines are like this:
return $custom_adsense . $content;
}
add_filter(‘the_content’, ‘custom_banner’);
What is the_content equivalent in bbPress?
How can I add a custom banner over all topics?
My theme is Twenty Fourteen and I have a nice space above these forum pages that fits ads perfectly.
Hello. I run a MultiSite. I’m a firm believer in “Weight” – meaning I should only have the plugins I want activated on a site that demands it – in such a way that gives users a seamless experience (as if they never left the root). Otherwise, it weighs down the entire multisite, in my case of 8 subsites all serving vital purposes. eg. /root / magazine /forum /store /support /project1 /project2 /project3 /etc. Also helps with security.
Every time I activate a bbPress plugin on a SubSite – it deactivates bbPress. Everytime I activate bbPress, it deactivates the plugins. I don’t need bbPress sitewide, nor do I need it’s plugins sitewide. It’s useless weight – and while I could use Plugin Organizer to manually disable the plugins 7 times accross dozens of addons… why should I have to?
Potentially a user-error, I’m curious why this is might be occurring – or if there’s a solution to the issue?
No you were trying to find this code as if it was already in your theme , I just showed you the original code so you could understand why it was causing the issue.
But just place this CSS code where you would put custom CSS like what I already listed.
You do not have to replace any code just add it as custom css
#bbpress-forums .single_post a {
font-size: 12px !important;
margin-left: 0 !Important;
}
Since your bbPress forums look custom I can’t tell which is custom and what could be your theme so you would have to edit this code and replace the original code in the bbpress.css file if you want or just place it in some other custom css areas with !important after the width to help out.
You can place the code in the bbpress.css file where you want , it is your site
the two places i said would be better for beginners so that the code doesn’t conflict with the media queries.
li.bbp-forum-topic-count,
li.bbp-topic-voice-count,
li.bbp-forum-reply-count,
li.bbp-topic-reply-count {
border: 0px none;
width: 10% !important;
margin-right: 20px !important;
margin-top: 0px !important;
}
Okay so if I am understanding this correct (sorry im still learning this stuff)
for my themes style.css files you want me to find the code
.single_post a {
font-size: 14px ;
margin-left: 0 ;
}
and replace it with
#bbpress-forums .single_post a {
font-size: 12px !important;
margin-left: 0 !Important;
}
And for this code
li.bbp-forum-topic-count,
li.bbp-topic-voice-count,
li.bbp-forum-reply-count,
li.bbp-topic-reply-count {
border: 0px none;
width: 10% !important;
margin-right: 20px !important;
margin-top: 0px !important;
}
you want me to open up the bbpress.css and add it above the media queries or just at the top above the other css rules?
Well a good way to link to the users topics created is maybe create a custom bbPress login widget as listed here.
Redirect from page to profile url (menu link)
I might create a gist to post what I mentioned in the topic
Your theme had something similar to this CSS
.single_post a {
font-size: 14px ;
margin-left: 0 ;
}
So the new CSS I gave you would overwrite it only on bbPress forums.
you can add it
to your child themes style.css
in a custom css plugin
and you could add it to the bbpress.css file if you put it in your child theme in a folder called css somewhere above the media queries or just at the top above the other css rules.
I just checked my themes style.css and there is nothing with bbpress forums in it right now for some reason there is however css code in my responsive.css for bbpress forums
#bbpress-forums .status-category li.bbp-in-forum-freshness {
margin-left: 1px;
width: 33.494% !important;
#bbpress-forums .bbp-topics li.bbp-body ul.topic {
border-bottom: medium none !important;
border-left: 0 none !important;
border-top: 2px solid #aaa !important;
box-shadow: 1px 1px 0.5px 0 rgb(221, 221, 221);
