Remove the bbPress subscriptions plugin or contact the plugin authors on how to fix it.

Closing this, this is essntially a duplicate of your other topic here.

[Stephen Edgar]

Indeed it would have helped and by switching back you have enabled the error to occur again, redo what you did and then create a new topic and include the source code of your bbpress.php file and the name and link of the theme you are using and we can help get your sidebar back.

[Stephen Edgar]

Ah… That’s the reason, bbPress only supports importing from SMF 2.x and your using 1.x.

It looks like significant database schema changes so I’d take a look at upgrading your database to SMF 2.x first and once done then import to bbPress 2.x 🙂

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.

How can I make hidden comments visible? They were visible but since I trashed the topic(which I did because for some reason bbpress was making a new topic every time I created a new page) I cant get them back even when I try to restore the topic. I also installed bbpress sort topics reply and under discussion I applied settings to existing posts which worked the first time I used it but now I can see the first post only from 2 years ago and the next 390 are hidden.
Thanks for your suggestions!

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.

[Robin W]

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/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??
