I’ve been struggling for a while now to get the forum import tool to run efficiently. I notice that for some forums, the mysql query code is supplied, but for others it is not. It seems that the process would run a lot faster if I performed the entire operation in mysql instead of using the import tool. I have ~2M posts I need to import. Does anyone have the MYSQL queries for converting Xenforo to BbPress?

Thanks!

your theme is having some issues with bbpress, in particular when trying to display that page there is an error

<article id=”<br /> <b>Warning</b>: Missing argument 1 for getMagicrechePageID(), called in /homepages/33/d197641801/htdocs/AdoptionChatter/wp-content/themes/magicreche/page.php on line 25 and defined in <b>/homepages/33/d197641801/htdocs/AdoptionChatter/wp-content/themes/magicreche/functions.php</b> on line <b>325</b><br /> chat-and-share-all-thing-adoption-fostering” class=”post-579 forum type-forum status-publish hentry”>

Suggest you refer to your theme author

[VSensational]

Could anyone recommend a rating and/or sorting plugin that will let me sort the threads on my bbpress forum by the highest voted and/or most replied to threads? I’m thinking Reddit here, i.e. upvotes and then shifting “sort by” to Top and so on.

Unless this is built into bbpress default and I’m just being an idiot, in which case please point me in the right direction to set that up.

Hi, Hopefully this is a quick fix for a newbie Forum creator.
If you look at my adoption site ( http://www.adoptionchatter.co.uk/forums/forum/chat-and-share-all-thing-adoption-fostering/ ) youll notice there is some text of the bbpress page covered by my themes menu bar.
Is there a way to nudge down the BBpress page so all is visable please.
Look forward to your help 🙂

First remove the data

dashboard>tools>forums>reset forums

then remove the plugin

dashboard>plugins>all plugins>bbpress deactivate and then delete plugin

[bharasthsunny]

I would like to shift from BBpress to Phpbb . So I would like to remove the bbpress forum that I have created for my Blog. Can anyone tell me how to do that ?

[jtstables]

OK, working on it.

Two weeks ago you helped me with an issue under the topic, “Stop users from making topics”.

You had me to change the following code:

<?php

/**
* Single Forum Content Part
*
* @package bbPress
* @subpackage Theme
*/

?>

<div id=”bbpress-forums”>

<?php bbp_breadcrumb(); ?>

<?php bbp_forum_subscription_link(); ?>

<?php do_action( ‘bbp_template_before_single_forum’ ); ?>

<?php if ( post_password_required() ) : ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘form’, ‘protected’ ); ?>

<?php else : ?>

<?php bbp_single_forum_description(); ?>

<?php if ( bbp_has_forums() ) : ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘loop’, ‘forums’ ); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

<?php if ( !bbp_is_forum_category() && bbp_has_topics() ) : ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘pagination’, ‘topics’ ); ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘loop’, ‘topics’ ); ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘pagination’, ‘topics’ ); ?>

<?php elseif ( !bbp_is_forum_category() ) : ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘feedback’, ‘no-topics’ ); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

<?php endif; ?>

<?php do_action( ‘bbp_template_after_single_forum’ ); ?>

</div>

Could this have caused the problem when they upgraded WP? LIke I said the forum worked great until the upgrade.

Thanks

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

[Robin W]

why not just have one form, referenced by a button at the top.

function bsp_create_new_topica () {
	 $text='Create New Topic' ;
	if ( bbp_current_user_can_access_create_topic_form() && !bbp_is_forum_category() ) echo '<div style="text-align: center;">  <a href ="#topic">'.$text.'</div>' ;
	}

function bsp_create_new_topicb () {
	echo '<a name="topic"></a>' ;
	}

	
add_action ( 'bbp_template_before_single_forum', 'bsp_create_new_topica' ) ;
add_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_form', 'bsp_create_new_topicb' ) ;

(not tested as its cut down code from one of my plugins)

adds a link which lets you add a link to the top of the page which sends you to the bottom, which you can easily make a button.

add to your functions file https://codex.bbpress.org/functions-files-and-child-themes-explained/

or take the guts into the template you’re amending.

You could probably send it to a collapsing div at the bottom if you tinker

That way you only have one form

[Robin W]

ok, it’s working fine on my test site with bbpress and twentyten.

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

Then come back

Hello,
Thank you for your great plugin first of all.

I have one task and I hope you could help me to solve it. Is it possible to define in which forum (by forum ID) search form should search for results? Could you please explain me how can I achieve that? (I would like to make search on one of my forums (define that forum by ID), but not all)

Thanks.

I’ve tried to install the danish langauge pack to my forum.

i have tried to do:

How to use the language files

Rename each file of the files to bbpress-language_COUNTRY.extension

eg. bbpress-plugin-pt-br.po to bbpress-pt_BR.po
and bbpress-plugin-pt-br.mo to bbpress-pt_BR.mo.
Note: Ensure you use the – and _ in the correct place per the above example.

still doesnt work.. can someone help me?

[Robin W]

I think what you want is the template from my plugin bbp style pack

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

you can install this plugin if you like, it has lots of stuff in it, but if you just want the styling above then download the plugin to your pc, and do the following

1. Create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

2. Find bbp-style-pack/extras/loop-forums.php and make a copy

3. Paste this copy into the directory called bbpress that you created in 1. above, so you end up with

wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-forums.php

4. Reload the site (don’t just refresh)

To stop using this just delete the file wp-content/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-forums.php

[Robkk]

i think using a plugin like this will help

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-post-topics/

[Robkk]

download the forums.php file and insert it into your child theme in a folder called bbpress.

https://github.com/robkk/bbPress-Hierarchical-Forum-and-Category-Layout

you can also use Robin’s plugin , it has the same file inside the plugin and it gives you options to style your bbpress installation better.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

[Robkk]

shortcodes do not post in bbPress

use this plugin

I’ve just discovered i’m having the same issue where notifications aren’t being sent via WPmandrill. Mentions are fine but notifications and subscriptions are broken.

I’ve installed the bbPress – Subscription in Mandrill plugin and tried editing the “do not reply” email addresses in “bbpress/includes/common/function.php” file the but still get no notifications.

Do i need to to anything else?

——————————-
add_action ( ‘bbp_theme_before_topic_form_content’, ‘bbp_extra_fields’);
function bbp_extra_fields() {

echo ‘<label for=”bbp_extra_field1”>textarea1</label><br>’;
echo “<textarea name=’bbp_extra_field1′ rows=’10’ cols=’78’ value='”.$value.”‘></p>”;

$value = get_post_meta( bbp_get_topic_id(), ‘bbp_extra_field2’, true);

$topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id();
$value1 = get_post_meta( $topic_id, ‘bbp_extra_field1’, true);
$value2 = get_post_meta( $topic_id, ‘bbp_extra_field2’, true);

echo “textarea1: “.$value1.”<br>”;

</p>
<p>
content of textarea2
</p>

</p>

If anyone know it, please help me.

Thanks,

Did anybody find a way to make this work, I have a theme with exactly the same issue and cannot seem to find the correct page template to hook into. Is there another way to solve this? The forum main index and subsequent bbpress pages all display correct just minus the search box and login links etc. If I use the short code they do display correctly.

Hi all!

I’m totally green to BBPress and BuddyPress and I feel so out of my element. Hopefully someone here can help me!

I’m working on a new community-based website and I would like to set my forums up to look something like this:

http://tamrielfoundry.com/forums/

Multiple categories, with multiple forums, but I’m just not really sure how to go about this. They look weird when I set them up on my site and I feel like I’m doing something wrong.

Is Tamriel Foundry using some sort of plugin to make their forums appear like that?

Hoping someone can help me.

How my forums look presently: http://screencast.com/t/S1Fmp8ZwD

Any help will be absolutely appreciated!

Hi,

I know this has been asked a million times so my apologies, but, is there a way to merge comments on articles into bbpress forum posts and replies.

aka Whenever an article is published a bbPress topic is made, and whenever someone comments on an article, it becomes a reply. So, people can comment on articles, and they can go to the forum and it will be filled with a mix of forum posts and comment posts.

thanks.

[weirdman]

thread can be closed now. had to run wordpress in order to use the bbpress.

[van24]

Hi everyone

Most of our forum counts on the homepage are OK, but the first forum is displaying 8,343 Topics and 8,343 Posts. It should be more like 8,343 Topics and 40,000 Posts. I have tried using the repair function to recount the topics and posts, but it hasn’t helped.

I also tried deactivating all plugins except bbpress and switching to the 2014 theme. But the posts are still being counted incorrectly.

We’re using all the latest versions of WP, BBP etc.

Does anyone have any other suggestions that I can try? Thanks!

[mhairilongmuir]

Hi there,

I have been trying to follow the instruction on your page: http://codex.bbpress.org/modal-login-in-a-menu/

I searched online and via the wordpress dashboard for the plugin mentioned ‘wp modal login’ and I can’t find it?

If not, does anyone have the link for it, or instructions for another one that will work with bbPress? (I’m using the most recent version of WordPress, bbPress and Canvas theme)

Many thanks

[miglaraujo]

Hi there,

I’ve been working around bbpress for the past 5 hours, and i’m now using the plugin bbpress addition shortcodes to build my forum.

This is my forum:
http://invaderz.pt/community/?page_id=29

As you can see, i have multiple forum indexes, but they all have the same name. But i need them to have different names from each other.
Is there anyway to do this?

Thank you for you time,
Miguel
