Thanks for your step-by-step list e-motion! Our 6000+ user’s and 360 000+ post’s forum is still running on BBPress 0.9.0.2 and I’m going to upgrade it now. I think I just have to upgrade it first to 1.0.3 and then to 1.2 and follow your steps from point #5 or what do you think?

I have observed precisely the same problem on my Android Motorola Droid HD Maxx. In my case I defined a page containing the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode for the Forums top level. If I go to that page in either of the latest versions of IE or Firefox, I get a nice page showing the Forum categories. Using my Android phone, I get a page containing the single word ‘Forums’. As the OP noted, if I go directly to a Forum category or topic all is well.

My WordPress version is 3.8, bbPress version is 2.5.2. I am using a copied and modified version of the TwentyFourteen theme.

should this be a default feature of bbPress?

I would like to take this moment, hours before the new year actually arrives and thank each of you for your help and assistance. For without your help I wouldn’t have a site at all worth mentioning. Thank you for BBPress and to all the plugin authors for your hard work and sharing your fine talents with the rest of us. Many blessings and wish good fortune and happiness to all!

From my family to yours–Happy New Year!

agree with u big dream theory. GD BBpress attachments does not do the job and BBpress should’ve have this long time ago.

WP 3.8 and bbPress 2.5.2
Did searching but did not come up with much..

I have currently on my site a search for the WP side,
and a search for the forum side.

Is there a plugin or method of getting a single search
that can give a break down results list of links of both
the WP content (pages/posts/comments) and forum posts ?

This is a site setup for a common interest deal to commit
data and write ups in both areas and would like to make it
simple to find what you maybe looking for.

Using latest wordpress 3.8 and bbpress 2.5.2..
Using the 2014 template.
Did searching but didn’t see my exact problem mentioned?
I am new to WP/BBPress so maybe a newb issue. Only been 3 days..

Windows/OSX/Chrome/IE/Safari work fine.

Chrome/Safari on iOS on an iPad seems to work fine.

Chrome/Safari on iOS on a phone does not. If you go straight to the forums link
you just get a section that says Forums and thats it.

Android is unknown…

If you go straight to a forum section or a forum post, that works fine.

site is http://turbo3800.com/

I am running the theme Twenty Thirteen, WordPress 3.61 and bbPress 2.5. The Forum Sidebar widget does not replace the Secondary Widget Area on the Forums page. Any suggestions? Thanks. Unfortunately, our site requires a login to our Forum so I cannot provide a link.

I’m having the same failure of the “Notify me of follow-up replies via email” box. When I reply to a post and check the “Notify me of follow-up replies via email” box and reply to the post I get no email. However, if I go back and select “Edit” for my post and re-check the “Notify me of follow-up replies via email” box then all replies to the post result in an email to me. Why is the initial input box not responding? I am using bbPress 2.5.2.

Thank you for the link. I’ve created the ticked https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2500
Nice ticket number in the new years eve 😛

Create a new ticket on Trac and we can take a closer look at it 🙂

You could disable bbPress subscriptions if you want to stay with ‘Subscribe2’
https://codex.bbpress.org/forum-settings/#forum-features

Subscriptions Allow users to subscribe to forums and topics

I haven’t seen any recent reports of what you describe.

What versions of WordPress & bbPress are you using?

It could also be an issue with your rewrite rules. To fix this try resetting your permalinks. In your WordPress Administration Screens navigate to Settings > Permalinks, select a different permalink structure and save. Then select your preferred permalink structure and save again.

Patch is now done and will be fixed in bbPress 2.5.3 🙂

Under the WordPress ‘Users’ panel does your administrator account have the bbPress ‘Keymaster’ role?

[Stephen Edgar]

This thread here mentions a vBulletin conversion of ~600,000 posts took around 8-10 hours on an iMac so thats 1/6th of the time you’ve estimated.

vBulletin to bbPress questions

I’d love to test the DB you have, maybe some improvements can be made though I doubt they’d be done before your import completes 😉 I just followed you on Twitter so follow me back and drop me a DM with a ftp/dropbox link and I’ll give it a whirl.

[Stephen Edgar]

I also do not know what changes you have made so until you update both WordPress & bbPress you are basically out of luck.

This is the reason why you should never change the core files in WordPress or bbPress.

I would suggest you create yourself a test install of WordPress locally, add your theme and plugins and compare the changes and start to implement the changes you need in an upgrade friendly way such as child themes and custom additions to functions.php etc.

‘Search’ and ‘topic tags’ are completely separate entities.

I get directed to a page with meaningless results.

When you open a topic tag link you will only ever see topics that have been explicitly tagged with that topic tag, bbPress will never try to guess relevant topics in relation to topic tags.

Similarly with search you will only get the relevant search term.

[Stephen Edgar]

Topic Tags are to group like topics in a taxonomy.

eg. https://bbpress.org/forums/topic-tag/tags/

They should in no way link to any search results.

Based on your own site if have some tagged topics ‘mytopictag’ and you click that topic tag your link would be similar to http://example.com/forums/topic-tag/mytopictag/

If these links are resulting in some how opening search results could you add some examples of the URL links you are seeing.

Hi I am having trouble getting replies to show up in my posts. Currently using Responsive theme but I have checked it with others – Twenty Ten, Twenty Twelve – and it still does not show up. If I check the individual users page and select their replies I can see the replies that they have made, but then anything that is posted on a particular forum post does not show up for anybody even though the page says there are replies. All the settings seem to be correct, is there a particular part of the coding that I should check? I do not have any plugins active beyond the bbpress ones.

Thanks for any help you can give.

[Rob Beschizza]

Disabling plugins (other than bbpress) prevents those notices from appearing. Doesn’t seem to have an effect on the speed of the operation, alas.

Hi,

At the moment i have a WP 3.8 site with a PHPbb3 forum which is bridged by WPunited but i want to convert my PHPbb3 to BBpress. I ran the converter of BBpress 2.5.2 and everything was converted nicely but there’s only 1 problem: the topics have the wrong authors.

It looks like the conversion of the Authors broke down 🙁 . I did Repair after conversion.

Someone recognize this? and is there a solution?

OK, I had a success!
Sort of.

What I did was…

1. backup everything.
2. in your current wordpress, export all data to xml file
3. if your bbPress was deeply integrated like mine, you will not have a separate bb_users table. If so, export wp_users table via phpMyAdmin and save it.
4. upgrade bbPress from v1.0.3 to v1.2 as per <fontadoni> instructions
5. log into bbPress admin panel and let it upgrade the database. I got an error there, but whatever.
6. install clean WordPress with same user/pass. Make sure to keep old wp-config.php file.
7. if you had integrated users as per #3, go to phpMyAdmin, delete the only (admin) user from wp_users and import your original wp_users table. Check if you can log in. You should to.
8. in WordPress admin page, import xml backup of your previous posts. Let it download all media… You will need to install importer plugin. You should be able to see all your blog posts now. On first run, some posts were missing… If so, delete all posts and repeat.
9. install bbPress plugin.
10. Go to admin page -> permalinks and set “date and name” (at least for me it was needed to be able to access forums at /forums/ instead of seeing 404)
11. Go to tools -> Forums -> Import. Provide database login info. It should convert and import your old posts…
12. Your forums and all users should be available now. Check if posts have corrects users.
13. If this worked, thank me in comments below…
