Hi Robk,
I understand but you know it´s supposed to be pretty much the official wordpress forum solution and it we made the leap from joomla to wordpress and the forum was a main pilar of our site and we´re finding bbpress so incrediby fustrating, no primate messages, no way to tell users if x post has unread replies (I mean, really!? how is a user supposed to use it regularily!?) and it´s just ridicolous, I´m sure bbpress has many good features but… so far it´s just useless to us and we have no special needs, just a conventional, everyday forum with conventional everyday features.
As for the converter, for whoever finds this post, I found no solution for Kunena 2 converter. Only solution was to update the joomla forum to Kunena 3 and then run the Kunena 3 converter/importer and that seemed to work.
In bbpress, Video player not showing.
I tried both Jwplayer & flowplayer and wordpress core player.
But none of this show the player, just the code.
but in other page, it works well.
Would you help me?

hmmm….hadn’t fully reads your original post
ideally I’d like to get search results with pagination
That’s what you should have ! Results should show the ‘replies per page’ setting together with full pagination.
Are you sure there are more than 20 results to show?
I suspect that something else is disturbing this
If you haven’t amended bbpress code or added filters then :
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.
Come back when you have done that
no problem
copy this code into a new notepad/notepad++ page

Change the -10 days right near the bottom to whatever number you want
Save this file as ‘close_old_topics.php’
Compress/zip this file, so you have a zipped version.
then in worpress go to
Dashboard>plugins>add new and click ‘upload’ and then upload the zipped file you saved above, and then activate.
Come back if you have any issues, the code is not mine and I have not tested it, but others have used.
hello,
I believe that wordpress support forums use bbpress, how can I add this “Add New” button to my bbpress forum
http://screenshot.co/#!/25c3f78a68
suprisingly this button is not in here.
thank you,
siddardha.
@newdermeo
hover over bbpress.org in the toolbar there should be a dropdown that says create new topic
or click the forum you want to create your topic in the forum list in the sidebar and scroll to the bottom of the page and create a new topic from there.
do this instead since you want it for all of the bbPress login forms.
.bbp-login-form {
max-width: 270px;
}
and you could put the CSS in many places
a custom css plugin
jetpacks css module
your child themes stylesheet
the bbpress.css stylesheet that should be copied to your child theme in a bbpress folder
ive found this https://wp-push.com/extension/pushover-notifications-for-bbpress/ its a good 16 bucks in US.
it says it sends notifications to your phone if you have the pushover app (also paid $5 maybe??)
if you want to create an app out of your WordPress/bbPress site i think this service would work apppresser.com/
there might be other ways too , maybe hooking into the official WordPress app but im not sure, this might need some custom development and you would need to hire a developer.
if you have WordPress all set up and also downloaded and activated bbPress.
then follow this article and see if it helps.
https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started-with-bbpress/
if you want more explained articles on how to set up your forums
there is a step by step 5 part guide on how to setup bbPress
in codex.bbpress.org/
still have issues then please reply back
sorry about you getting no responses
im lately fiddling with importing other forum software to bbPress
its a learning curve but yeah maybe in the future we wont have to always rely on Stephen for importing forums support tickets when he is busy.
if you have any other information to post to help out future users who have could come across the same issue please do so.
Hi. I have the very latest bbpress but do not see an option in forum settings for fancy editor.
I have WP-EDIT as apparently this replaced tinymce.
Can anyone comment? I see the same editor here. Just thinking of my potential non-techy members.
Thanks!
Hello friendly webpeople,
So I’m fairly new to the website creating world (go me) and thanks to GoDaddy’s website builder, I actually have something pretty nice. One of the things I wanted to do was add a forum. Talking with the GD tech support people, they suggested getting wordpress (hosted through them) and then downloading the bbPress plugin, and easy-as-pie – NOW YOU HAVE A MESSAGE BOARD!
But that’s where they left me.
I’ve been trying for hours to figure out how you go from the dashboard, which is basically a blogger UI, to turning it into a message board. For years, I was an admin for a little board we all ran, but it was a YaBB board and everything I had to do, I did from the admin panel.
Is there a simple way to make this plugin look and behave like a message board?
Please help this poor little sheep.
Your pal,
Sam
Hi does anybody have opensource or github Android\iOs app for full functionality of BBpress forum? as well as Push Notifictions may be working via XML-RPC?
Hey guys I am new to bbPress. I am excited to be part of the community. I have been using SimplePress(Not so simple press lol). Anyhow I have followed the import instructions and everything seems to go well. I don’t get any errors. But it is like nothing imports. I checked my database I see of the SimplePress tables and rows. And there are also to of topics and a few forums.
Thank you in advance for the help! Below is a screen shot of what the import screen looks like after I try and import. I would also be happy to make a brief screen capture video and give any more details needed.
Regards,
Dallin
bbpress uses custom post types of Forums, Topics, and Replies.
Just use one of the many export plugins.
I googled ‘wordpress export custom post types to excel’ and got lots of useful looking plugins
I think these issues are not bbpress related.
I’d discuss these issues with the plugin authors and your host provider.
Hello, I’m new to wordpress and bbPress and I’m trying to find an option to close topics after a some time, for example, after 2 days the topic was created.
How may I do this? Do I have to edit the code? If so, can someone explain step by step, as I have never worked with PHP before.
Thanks.
Have couple of problems with my bbpress installation.
1. Users keep getting logged out in different pages, for safari users it’s ok, some firefox users have the problem and some dont.
No page cache or browser cache is used on the site only object and db cache.
2. Fragmented caching –
Using the plugin WP Fragment Cache, probably a plugin issue.
If i cache a part of the content inside a loop then the caching plugin for some reason ignores the position where it should replace the content from cache and puts it as the first div in the page, complete ignoring the correct HTML structure of the site.
Any ideas?
Hello
Is there any possibility to get Polish translation for bbpress 2.5.4? It’s fully translated but still “waiting”. I was looking for way to download non aproved version but can’t find it
Anybody knows how to do that?
Hi all
Is it possible to export the topics in a bbpress forum to something like an excel file.
I don’t particularly won’t to export the posts to another forum but more see how many posts there are from different users
I’d say @korobochkin – nailed the solution on this lingering problem with sub-site (only) user-registration, bbPress & multi-site!! Any chance you’d be able to share the exact code/steps you took to resolve this?
It sounds like hooking into the wp_signup_location filter opens the door 🙂
I’ve been trying to work through the steps/logic that Kolya has shared – but I’ve yet to make the entire piece work (though I know it will, eventually)
-J
I hope someone can help, I feel like I have tried everything and searched everywhere.
We are running WP 4.0.1 – BP 2.1.1 – BBPress 2.5.4 –
I am trying to enable group forums and following the newest instructions I found but when I enable them, the links to the forums change and go to error 404.
I have group forums clicked, if you visit: http://godstuff.ablurk.com/forums (dynamically created by BBPress?) and hover down the list of forum links you can see which ones have bad links and give 404s, some still work, ALL these forums were created back in BP 1 as group forums with no BBPress and yet they act differently now, some permalinks change and some don’t???? One changes to – /groups/share-music-videos/forum/ ???
In the sidebar I have godstuff.ablurk.com/forums/forum/online-resources hard linked in the features menu, when clicked and it redirects to /groups/forum/ and 404s.
I hope some one can help
Hi there,
We have a forum using bbPress and have set a number of forums to “Private”, and it has been working for quite some time. Normally if a person who is not logged in visits the forums page, it would show the message from the feedback-no-forums.php file, however now it doesn’t display anything at all. Just a blank page.
Looking at the HTML code that’s loaded, nothing within the container is loaded either which is strange. However, if I set one of the forums to public, the forum shows.
Any suggestions?
Thanks Robin for looking into this. I have disabled dashboard for non-admin users and that works well for me as of now. So, no issues there.
My next query may be a bit out of bbpress’s scope (i hope i am not being too much of a pest here). Is there a way to allow forum moderator to edit a table (say tablepress table)? I am editing it as an admin but would like moderator of individual forums to be able to do so.
Thanks a ton and feel free to ignore if out of bbpress’s scope or guide me to start a new topic if the query is out of scope of current topic.
probably because bbpress is sending them through subscriptions, as well as the notify plugin.
