hmmm…
Just looked on my test site, and the newest appears at the top, and changes when I add a reply.
I can see yours does not match this.
What other (if any) bbpress related plugins are you using?
Hi,
On our bbPress forum at: https://greatwaraviation.org/forums/forum/general/
We’ve noticed that **normal topics are correctly sorted by most recent activity**, but **sticky topics stay at the top in the order they were made sticky**, regardless of new replies.
Screenshot for reference: https://prnt.sc/zHWdapMx5Tw5
Is there a way to make sticky topics sort by recent activity as well, or is this the default behavior in bbPress?
Thanks for your help!
This migration process not for the faint of heart! I was never able to complete successfully. I did learn a few things tho.
- Pare down and disable as many plugins as possible before migrating. (especially optimize and cache ones).
- Be ready to disable the entire plugin directory in order to log into site.
- Realize that the activity of uploading files, importing a database, changing configurations, and adjusting dns, can spike shared server resources, leading to unstable and throttled-down results.
- Revel in the miracle of a nicely integrated bbPress/Wordpress install and always take time to break, inhale a deep breath, and appreciate the majesty of life
ok, so I’ve now had a chance to look at your steps.
Steps 1-4 are fine.
Step 5 is causing the issue. It is not needed as you are on bbpress 2.x, and that holds the data in the posts table. The site should work at this point with no further action. By importing the bbpress1 you will be overwriting the current forums.
So do it again without stage 5 and come back at that part and let us know what is happening.
Hi Robin,
The WordPress/bbPress install and all content is all on one subdomain (feedback.pdxradio.com).
It’s interesting the legacy bb_ tables are still there. I don’t want to touch (delete) them, in case they’re still being used.
Ty so much. Finally bbpress can be installed with fse theme 😄
Very good job. I release a 5* review in wp repo.
ok, I’d suspect that the bb_ tables are from versions 0.x and 1.x.
In version 2.x, bbpress was migrated to a plugin under wordpress.
I presume that your bbpress forums run on the same website and nit on a sub-domain – can you confirm?
Thanks for the clarification @robin-w. I don’t really understand anything about the WP translation scheme, or exactly when WP changed things so that these notices are shown (when I started seeing them doesn’t seem to jibe with what I can find in the WP trac). Anyway, AFAICT this isn’t in the bbpress trac (though there are similar things there). Should it be there?
Again, I’m fairly confused about this. I’m assuming that not everyone is seeing this, or there would be a lot more complaints about it. I don’t know if that’s because some special circumstances are necessary, or just because nobody has debugging turned on 🙂

it’s not really anyone’s ‘fault’ but bbpress would need to make the change to their code, so yes bbpress is ‘causing it’.
Today’s ACF update (6.4.1):
Fix – ACF no longer causes an infinite loop in bbPress when editing replies
I have the same problem.
Buddyboss is slow to update and has old code, so I want to switch back to BBPRESS.
Buddyboss doesn’t want to export, so they don’t provide a migration tool. For that reason, I don’t recommend it.
@dragoeco, Thanks a lot for posting this. This notice was driving me crazy. Can I ask why you say “bbpress is not causing it.” It seems like this is something that needs to be fixed in bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/loader.php.
I checked it out with QueryMonitor and it didn’t appear that any other plugins were involved, though I’m rather out of my depth here and might be confused.
I’m running the the latest: {bbPress version 2.6.13) / WordPress version 6.8.1}. I’ve been running bbPress for 10 to 15 years, starting with the 0.x versions. I notice when I look at the database in MyPHPadmin there are many tables with the prefix of bb_ and even more tables starting with wsy****_.
So just to review, when we move the bbPress/Wordpress installation from one server to another we do so in these steps?
- Copy all web files over to new server
- Copy the database.sql over to new server
- Edit the first few lines of wp-config.php with the pertinent new database settings
- Go into the Admin panel of the site and make sure the bbPress plugin is active
- Then go to Tools, Forums, click the Import forums tab, select Platform, bbPress1 and enter the pertinent database details
- In the table prefix section be sure to add the prefixes from your database (in my case bb_ and wsy****_, i guess entered as bb_wsy****_?)
- Click Start, and then fold your hands together and pray the import works 😉
what version of bbpress are you using?
bbpress just uses wordpress posts and post meta tables and the wordpress use table.
So if you copy the wp-content files, mysql database, bbpress should just work ok
So, does that mean I only need to copy the wp_ files and folders from the old server, not the bb_ ones? And of course, the database.sql.
bbpress just uses wordpress posts and post meta tables and the wordpress use table.
So if you copy the wp-content files, mysql database, bbpress should just work ok
Since the forum has been running for 10+ years the sql file is pretty huge (250 MB). And I assume the bbPress import function taxes the database server resources too highly and it balks.
I also added bb_ to the import, table prefix section with no luck. I also tried the Repair forums section without success. Sigh!
I guess i will have to try breaking up the database tables into smaller sections and try importing them individually that way. Or sadly, return to the original server.
Has anyone been able to migrate a large bbPress forum database over from one server to another?
I thought I would easily move my bbpress (version 2.6.13) / WordPress (version 6.8.1) installation from one server to another by copying all the files and exporting/importing the sql database file and adjusting wp-config.php.
However after moving everything over I can access the new WP installation, see all the plugins from before (all deactivated), but cannot see or import the bbPress forum.
I activated the bbPress plugin but don’t see any of my previous forum names listed.
In the WordPress Admin dashboard, I went to Tools, Import forums, put in the database settings (platform bbpress1) and clicked import, but it immediately stops on step 1.
Since most of the articles in this forum about moving servers is 10 to 15 years old. Maybe a refresh of an overview on how to do it today would be helpful. If anyone can throw in some ideas, I would appreciate it.
hello guys i install bbpress style pack ,
and i activate moderation
add_action(‘transition_post_status’, ‘send_email_on_post_approval’, 10, 3);
function send_email_on_post_approval($new_status, $old_status, $post) {
if ($old_status === ‘pending’ && $new_status === ‘publish’) {
if ($post->post_type === ‘reply’) {
// Déclenche les notifications pour une réponse
do_action(‘bbp_new_reply’, $post->ID, $post->post_parent, $post->post_parent, $post->post_author);
} elseif ($post->post_type === ‘topic’) {
// Déclenche les notifications pour un sujet
do_action(‘bbp_new_topic’, $post->ID, $post->post_parent, $post->post_author);
}
}
}
why i dont receive the email from the post type topic ? (replies work normally )
thanks
Update – I have a BBPress forum (2.6.13) set up on WP (6.8.1), using BBP Style Pack (6.3.0) – and it is fantastic!
I find that I need to have ‘Enable advanced FSE theme support’ selected or my forums disapear from the site! They are ‘private’ forums, which may or may not be relevant.
Hi All,
I’m hoping someone can help me with this. I am using BBpress in conjunction with my membership site, MemberPress. I send a lot of important updates through BBpress. I have 10 different subscription plans on my site. However, I only want to send notifications to some of these specific plans. Is there a way to seperate who receives notifications based on the plan they sign up to? The only way I can think of is to manually subscribe users to the forum after they sign up to my site. Ideally, I’d like a way for this to be done automatically based on the chosen plan.
Thank you for any help in advance.
Hello..
Yes, I want Change my bbPress permalinks in my forum,
from:
Error
to:
https://bbpress.org/troubleshooting/error-5/
So, I want:
Delete: forums
Delete: topic
Add: ForumName “not forums btw”
Can I do that plz?
E.T.A.
Why?
Because my forum will be about cars, I’ll want to include the car brand in the permanent link.
For example:
https://cars.com/bmw/why-my-bmw-app-is-not-working
could be hundreds of reasons, and may be coincidental of 6.8 or may not.
so it could be a theme or plugin issue
Themes
As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.
Plugins
If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users
Health Check & Troubleshooting
Then come back
I have a website that uses bbpress forums.
The bbpress forums have worked for 5 1/2 years. When WordPress 6.8 came out, it broke. Now, when members log in, they can only see 2 forums and even those don’t work. When I log in as an admin to word press, all the forums are there. When a member logs in, they only see two broken forums. The updated bbpress plugin did not fix it. Reverting back to a previous Word Press version did not fix it.
Can I get any help with this?
