Hi Again!,

I tried this once again by reseting bbpress and stated from fresh installation.
After convert I realised that replies has converted but forums and topics are missing..

I can see from replies header that there are 8180 replies but non of them are visible etc.. I tried repairs and got failed in “Recalculate the sticky relationship of each topic” Sure, theres no topic.

Just a minute ago I restarted my bbpress again and got “Deleting Conversion Table… Failed” Something serious?

Now I’m going to put it on one more time purging previous import and cross my fingers..

It’s incredible … bbPress seems to be in trouble when your permalinks (in WP) are set to TopicName and your usernames contains space. If you change the permalinks (in WP) to “default” there’s no problem. Check out this post as well: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/404-error-on-user-profiles/#post-154972

Except that all my othe links are not working anymore 🙁

So I wonder where the actual problem is … WP or bbPress

@phatmass, I also imported about 1000 users, most of them with spaces …

There seems to be a workaround … my profile name is joop.stringer
If you click on my profile link it shows joopstringer (without the dot)
So most probably bbPress changes the profilename to be without dots/spaces/diacritics …

bbPress guys, can you please give us a clue on what to do ?

Hi all,

I’ve been trying to import my forum from phpbb 3.1.1 (no mod or themes) to bbpress 2.5.4.

I used row limits 50 and delay time 2. Database settings looks to be ok.

Problem is following code that appears on every line:
‘Warning: set_time_limit() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/int2000/d/xxxxx/html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/converter.php on line 306 Warning: set_time_limit() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/int2000/d/xxxxx/html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/converter.php on line 306’

Conversion goes till end and following message will appear:
‘Repair any missing information: Continue’
‘SELECT convert(forums.forum_id USING “utf8”) AS forum_id,convert(forums.parent_id USING “utf8”) AS parent_id,convert(forums.forum_topics USING “utf8”) AS forum_topics,convert(forums.forum_posts USING “utf8”) AS forum_posts,convert(forums.forum_topics_real USING “utf8”) AS forum_topics_real,convert(forums.forum_name USING “utf8”) AS forum_name,convert(forums.forum_desc USING “utf8”) AS forum_desc,convert(forums.left_id USING “utf8”) AS left_id,convert(forums.forum_type USING “utf8”) AS forum_type,convert(forums.forum_status USING “utf8”) AS forum_status FROM phpbb_3forums AS forums LIMIT 0, 100’

What am I doing wrong?

[phatmass]

I just converted my Invision Power Board community to bbPress. Over 4000 members. The problem is, about 1/2 of them have spaces in their usernames so get 404 errors on their profile pages.

How do I fix this?

[phatmass]

I have been searching for a solution to the username with spaces 404 error and can’t find one. I just imported over 4000 users from my old Invision forum into bbPress and about half of them have spaces in their names and get the 404 error on their profiles.

Is it really a 7 year old problem that hasn’t been fixed yet!?!?

[davidinottawa]

Just looking for opinions.

Should the bbPress instance of my website run over SSL ?
Do most of you purchase an SSL for your forums ?

Thanks, dave

Hi, i have same problem, but my installation of bbpress is new.

[caucasusfund]

Hello,
i have a problem with bbpress, when bbpress is activated, the SlimStat plugin stops working/monitoring my website, and this error is appear in the SlimStat page:

Notice: bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly. The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init(). Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 2.3.) in /home/…/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3370

please help, how to fix this. thanks

i was a smart boy and found my way to generate the download link for bbpress 1.0.3

[tnts]

Legacy downloads page no longer offer all the versions of the standalone bbpress. I’m still running a forum on 0.9.0.2 and I would need 1.0.3 version as a middle step on way to upgrade to 1.2 and all the way to current version.

If any of you had .zip for 1.0.3 it would be a great help!

I know we’ll break all the internal links on the forum during the upgrade from standalone to plugin or is the a solution for that somewhere?

Hi Robin.

Thank you for your reply. I had found the order section but it didn’t work for me, hence my posting here. I tried again following your instructions…..

It didn’t work they are still in the same order… The only thing I can think is I’ve set it up bbPress incorrectly.

I created a Forum called Noticeboard – Forum as I wanted that name on the main menu bar….
I then created all the other Forum with this as the parent, if I remove Noticeboard – Forum as the parent then the forum disappears……eg General.

Have you any idea what I’m doing wrong. I know when I get the categories right that bbPress will be a great forum.

Thanks,

Letty

You can set all this in the forum

So if you go into dashboard>forums>all forums and edit for each forum in turn

On the right hand side you’ll see

Parent
Order

For your top level forums (eg farm machinery), have no parent and then just type in the order you want, so first top forum will be order 1, second order 2 etc.

For sub forums, they will have a parent, but again you just set the order, eg Machinery for sale would be order 1 and Machinery wanted order 2

By the by if you want you subforums to be vertical and/or to take away the (0,0) then see

Hi,
in admin toolber, I would disable the section about buddyPress, I detected it by css code:
ul#wp-admin-bar-my-account-buddypress.

Can I hide it?

Thanks.

[Nicolas Korobochkin]

Damn spammers! Maybe you can set up editor role to users with high rating or registered long time ago? Actually is a big problem (spam) on my sites too. It would be great if some instruments with ratings will be available (like a additional plugin for buddypress or bbpress) 🙂

Hope you block all spammers! Good luck 🙂

Hi,
in the function ‘bbp_get_single_forum_description’, I would concat a message for user not logged in.

I wrote:

add_action( 'bbp_get_single_forum_description', 'msg_for_user_loggedin' );
add_action( 'bbp_get_single_topic_description', 'msg_for_user_loggedin' );

function msg_for_user_loggedin( $args = '' ) {
	if ( !bb_is_user_logged_in() )
	{ 
		$custom_msg = "You must be logged in to see all topics.";
	}
	else 
	{
		$custom_msg = "";
	}
	
     echo $custom_msg . bbp_get_single_forum_description( $args );
}

But it not works, why?

Thanks.

Hi,

How can I diagnose where the conflict between bbpress and a plugin on our website occurs so I can fix within the plugin?

We’re using a theme that integrates the bbpress forum in to it and we’re 99% sure that this plugin is the reason why the forum isn’t working but we need both the plugin and the bbpress forum to work alongside each other.

How can we find the issue with the plugin and fix it? At the moment the forum structure works but threads and replies aren’t shown at all.

Thanks,
Adam

Hello Robin,

Please I am a novice to using all this. Heres my own question:

My website is a free membership website (no form of payment, just a free membership site where my colleagues can register and chat in groups for free).
I have s2member Pro, buddypress and bbpress installed.

S2member Pro= handles registration form. there is a restricition in the forum page which redirects you to either register or login before you can access the forums and its working fine( I HAVE DONE THAT ALREADY). During member registration, theres a field i created for year of graduation. lets say for a example you choose 1991 as your year of graduation, then you finish your registration and logged in.

Buddypress= BP handles my group forums and i have groups forums 91, 92,93 and so on. I want only users that graduated in 1991 to have access to only group 91. Users that graduated in 1992 to have access to group 92 only. users that graduated in 1991 should not be able to access 92 groups and vice versa.

BBPress: My bb press handles sitewide forums and general chats which is already accessible to every logged in member.

Please how can I use your plugin: bbp private group to assign this? please show me how to do it in details sir, I want to restrict certain members from accessing certain group chats, let it not be even visible to them. Heres my skype: aibrahim299. Thanks.

Hi,
I have upgraded a website to wordpress 4.0.1 and bbpress to version 2.5.4 and after that topics have disappeared. If I click on each forum appear two messages:
This forum contains 7 topics and 102 replies
but no topics are shown and after this message there is this other message:
Oh bother! No topics were found here!

We have tried to change the template and to deactivate the plugins but there are no conflicts and the issue still exist.

Hi,

I have a problem where pagination is not working in my theme.

I am doing template redirect in function.php to template file of forum, topic or reply if URL is like http://domain/forums/…
Right templates are loaded and right content is shown, but pagination is not working, first page is always shown/loaded.
Pagination appends …/page/{page}/ to URL when page is selected, but always first page of data loads.
I have tried to set page manually, among others, $bbpressInstance->forum_query->paged, but no luck.

My question is, how and where to set page that should be loaded, and how to track where is the problem. Because problem is in my theme, pagination works in WP default themes.
How to debug this?

I am on deadline, but stuck on this basic feature and should appreciate some pointers how to debug this.

BBPress forum is included in my template file through shortcode
echo do_shortcode('[bbp-single-forum id='.$id.']');
Topics are included like
echo do_shortcode ( '[bbp-single-topic id=' . $id . ']' );
And Replays like
echo do_shortcode ( '[bbp-single-reply id=' . $id . ']' );

[digiblogger]

This is absolutely not correct.
There is no a single capability, allowing to restrict anybody for anything on “per forum base”.

You can allow or restrict creating, writing, replying (…) for specific rules.

But you can not create somthing like that:

Forum 1
Guests: Allowed to view, but not to create or answer
Members: Allowed to view, allowed to answer, but not to create
Moderators: Allower to view, answer and create

Forum 2
Guests: Not allowed to view, create or answer
Members: Allowed to view, create an answer
Moderators: Allowed to view, anwer and create

Forum 3
Guest: Not alowerd to view, create, answer
Members: Allowed to reply, but not to view or create
Moderators: Allowed to create, view and reply.

Capabilities on per Forum base would make bbpress an absolutely perfect forum solution.

Example 1:
Allow to create Groups.
Set permissions for groups on per forum.

Example 2:
Allow to set permissions for all existing groups on per forum base.

The capabilities that are included allow only general permissions/restrictions.
You can not have different capabilities for every group on per forum base.

Digi

All vast majority of your sugestions are already included in bbPress 2.x
