Hi Stephen,
Could the member column be missing the _ ? between the member and name? Mine doesn’t look like yours.

The SMF version is 1.1.11.

you need to match the main bbPress converter.php file, this is not the ‘dropdown’>>>>So, I would have needed to find a previous version of a converter..okay getting lost.

Yes, so I did delete and reload bbpress, and tried without any patch, just fresh, still didn’t work.

[Stephen Edgar]

Oh! The version included in bbPress 2.5.4 is the r5191 version, the smf3 you refer to is older than that, essentially there is no need to download any files from trac manually to replace the files that already exist in bbPress 2.5.x.

That said “if” you do download any versions of the importers from trac, you need to match the main bbPress converter.php file, this is not the ‘dropdown’ you refer to.

Looking closer at your original message, indeed you did use the smf_ prefix, my bad.

Can you open up phpMyAdmin and open the smf_members table and post a screenshot like mine below (if there is sensitive data there then just the column headers would be fine)

For some reason it appears your table is missing the member_name column and that is why the error occurs.

What version of SMF are you trying to import?

And lastly, no forum is to big for bbPress 😉

Do you know of any themes that are both bbpress & buddypress that you can use the license on multiple websites/domains ?

because when i looked at paid themes – you could only use them on one domain, and had to pay per domain for each license of the theme.

ive never seen this before with wordpress themes, usually you buy a theme – and you can use it on as many domains as you want.

does anyone know any different ?

I havent tested any of the siggestions below. But you can play around with changes as example and change parameters:

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-title h3,
	font-size: 30px;
	color: #CC00CC;
}

….ad this as as separate controls in the code above.

Find colors that you want at: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_colorpicker.asp

You dont need uch change. Just add controls on the text types you want to change woth an } to close the code.

Hi!

I finally managed to do it.
I added this code so the avatar is at the top of the text

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author {
	float: none;
	text-align: center;
	}

Then when the text was below the avatar I inserted this code to the mobile part of the css:

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-content {
		margin-left: 20px;
		padding: 0 0 0 0;
		text-align: left;
}

Thanks for getting me on the right track.
It concerns a closed forum and I was already preparing an access for you but then I managed by myself.
Thanks again!

It has nothing to do with bbpress.

contact your theme developer
make a topic on wordpress support

or you can

create a folder called images in your theme if you dont have one already find a facebook icon and rename it fb.jpg

and use this

<a href="fbico"><img style="border:0;" src="fb.jpg" alt="Like Me" width="42" height="42"></a>

and just place it in the right template file

then position with css

links with images:

I don’t know either of the two plugins, but essentially I don’t let anyone have access to the backend of my site – it jars with the front end.

https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/

contains a list of the capabilities, and most restriction plugins should list these, and you hopefully should be able to find or see edit_topics as a capability that you can restrict.

It may well be that one plugin is conflicting with the other as they both sound like they are trying to do the same job.

[Robin W]

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.

Could be a number of things.

1. check that you are not present on multiple screens in the same browser, sometimes leaving yourself logged in on one screen whilst logged out on others can do funny things.

then it could be a theme or plugin issue

you probably decrease the margin-left and add the @media at top

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-content {
margin-left: 130px;
padding: 12px 12px 12px 0;
text-align: left;
}

need a link to just make sure though.

[jborbely]

Because I pretended that bbpress users have experience with wordpress. Probably even more than someone who uses only wordpress.

[Robkk]

copy page.php and rename it bbpress.php and remove any call for any sidebars

[Robkk]

why did you post on the bbpress support forums??

wordpress has support forums too

Support Forums

[Robkk]

ya didnt need to bump your topic after 20 minutes.

try that, it just changes it to black and white. change the colors to whatever you want

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-the-content-wrapper input {
font-size: 12px;
padding: 5px;
margin: 0 2px 0 0;
line-height: 1em;
background: #222;
color: #fff;
}

put it anywhere you can put custom css in

Hi,

I’m trying to convert a rather large forum (80,000+ replies) from bbPress 1 to the plugin version. The first time I ran the conversion, it started importing just fine, but my connection is not always stable and any time it dropped, I needed to begin again (it takes a very long time to import that at 100-reply intervals). About the 4th time I made an attempt, the importer started to throw the user_pass error (each time, I started a fresh conversion and even reset the forums between to no effect).

How can I import the users and passwords from our bbPress 1 installation? Is there any way to request in the future that the importer squelch this particular message? It makes it very hard to monitor import progress.

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I was just wondering if there was a way of disabling the sidebars on the bbpress part of my site. In the forum pages I have the sidebar (used in the blog pages) always present. I would like to have it be a forum with no sidebars. Any ideas how i can do this?

I would post a link but I am working locally.

Thx

Alex

WP 3.9.2
BBP 2.5.4
http://REBTinfo.info
http://rebtinfo.info/forums/
http://rebtinfo.info/forum/forum/general-topics/open-discussion-2/

Hello,

We are nearly recovered from a hacking incident. I uninstalled Simple:Press because although it is a sweet program, it is buggy and temperamental and conflicts with my WP.

OK, just installed bbPress 2.5.4 . At some point the forum links on my dashboard disappeared. I have uninstalled and reinstalled bbPress several times, even deleted it manually from the server, but I cannot get hose links back even though the forum seems to be installed => http://rebtinfo.info/forums/ .
How do I get the links back? The installation is so new, don’t need to preserve the contents if radical surgery is necessary.

Thanks v. much!

Aloha,

I get to this point:

Convert posts (17600 – 17699)-

And it just hangs there forever….

What can I do?

[Robkk]

does this have to do with bbpress??

[cybarmitzvah]

I also renamed it to bbpress.php

hello Friends,

I am not sure if I am posting in the right forum but it has something to do with the plugins I am using. I created a new user to give someone an authority to post videos on my site. I been testing before I hand that authority over to someone. This particular issue is giving me a real hard time.

Please see the link below:
http://www.mediafire.com/view/maebk11vfjv0m2b/edittopic.png

I am trying to remove that EDIT TOPIC from top left corner but unable to do that. I have Adminimize plugin and then I installed WP Front Role Editor.

I am not too sure where i am going wrong with this, but if someone can help, it will be greatly appreciated.

thank you
Regards,

In fact took a look today and done !

bbp additional shortcodes

You now have a template of ‘short’ which just does the titles and topics, no search or other stuff.

see the web for full details on how to do this, but for example

[bbp-display-topic-index show=’5′ forum=’29’ template=’short’ ]

Hi, thanks for the reply!
I actually used this revision first, https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2380 (smf.3) Is that correct? I tried the other afterwards thinking it was more recent. (I don’t think well after 9pm ha) In any case neither worked for me. 🙂
I retried all the steps this morning. I checked the database info…
I have the prefix right, it’s smf_; I had found your earlier post when someone posted the same issue, so I checked that before posting. For the revised converter, you mean once you upload the patch, pick the correct revised converter from the drop down…? I checked that too…deleted the previous and uploaded the new patch along in case it wasn’t overwriting.

I’m out of ideas – could the database be too big? We have about 8K users.
Thanks again, truly appreciate the help on the forum. Theresa

Just wondering what the future of bbPress holds?

I’ve been following BuddyPress and bbPress development for years now and while both plugins always have to rely on the same small group of people I’m just curious if this would bring the future of bbPress development in danger?

BuddyPress is a far more popular plugin than bbPress, more people those days need community functionality attached to their WordPress sites than support forums but still, if you look at the bbPress trac it say 64 closed tickets for a very long time.

I don’t want to make this a bash or negative talking topic about bbPress, I respect the people who have done so much for bbPress at this moment and in the past.
It’s just what’s next..
