Thank you for the link. I’ve created the ticked https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2500

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.

Now your forum’s participants can reply to topics via email using
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?
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.
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.
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.

Also i have 404 on clicking profiles.
Can you help me please ?!
Thank you.

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.
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…
- backup everything.
- in your current wordpress, export all data to xml file
- 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.
- upgrade bbPress from v1.0.3 to v1.2 as per <fontadoni> instructions
- log into bbPress admin panel and let it upgrade the database. I got an error there, but whatever.
- install clean WordPress with same user/pass. Make sure to keep old wp-config.php file.
- 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.
- 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.
- install bbPress plugin.
- 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)
- Go to tools -> Forums -> Import. Provide database login info. It should convert and import your old posts…
- Your forums and all users should be available now. Check if posts have corrects users.
- If this worked, thank me in comments below…
The problem I see is the table name: bb_forums
It should be running these queries on the old bb_tagged table.
These queries are part of a relatively ancient upgrade routine, dating back to database version 220 in bb_upgrade_220(). Are you able to see what your bbPress database version was before this upgrade started?
I am still all full at it. What I discovered is that converter DOES work on fresh wordpress and bbpress installations. Of course I have discovered that all imported bbpress posts are by “Anonymous”, because of lost user data… So now I am working on solving that.
Hi. I just added a bbpress forum to my site. Everything seems to be working well. I already have a good number of subscribers to my site who receive new post email notifications via Subscribe2 plugin. Now with the new forum I am asking people to register for the site so they have forum access and once they do they will be getting new blog post notifications from that registrations too (I think). I am anticipating many of my followers getting two emails everytime I post a new blog post now, one from Subscribe2 and one from the forum/wordpress registration. I think that will likely annoy many of my followers. Any suggestions?
I should add that when I manually paste in “/wp-admin/tools.php?page=bbp-repair” on top of SimpleFitnessHabit.com, I get this message:
You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.
There isn’t like a “super admin” with bbPress, is there? There are 12 administrators on this install….
Hello.
If you have a look into the templates form-user-register.php and form-user-login.php you could see they are almost the same beside do_action placement.
<?php do_action( 'register_form' ); ?>
<div class="bbp-submit-wrapper">
<button type="submit" tabindex="<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>" name="user-submit" class="button submit user-submit"><?php _e( 'Register', 'bbpress' ); ?></button>
<?php bbp_user_register_fields(); ?>
</div>
<div class="bbp-submit-wrapper">
<?php do_action( 'login_form' ); ?>
<button type="submit" tabindex="<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>" name="user-submit" class="button submit user-submit"><?php _e( 'Log In', 'bbpress' ); ?></button>
<?php bbp_user_login_fields(); ?>
</div>
Is it possible to move <?php do_action( 'login_form' ); ?> out of the bbp-submit-wrapper in the next releases? This will greatly help to have the same markup for these templates using the wordpress hooks system.

You need to select ‘bbPress1’ as the forum you are importing from the drop down in the import settings. 😉
Try running the repair tool ‘Remap existing users to default forum roles’
https://codex.bbpress.org/repair-forums/
If each of those queries were successful the import should run run fine. I actually copied them directly from a successful import of bbPress v1.2 right before I posted it above.
What size is the forum your importing? (Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of posts)
Give it another go and copy any errors you get and post them here, there really isn’t much more verbosity checks that can be added (connection issues yes, but not data).
@Stephen
Thanks for the reply.
You’re correct. The first two points were covered except that I need to test if I can eliminate the ‘All Members’ public group and just use a sitewide forum.
In the meantime I had successfully upgraded to bbPress 2.5.1 and I have now gone to 2.5.2.
I’ll check the theme compatibility article although I am using a child theme of Suffusion and I have installed the Suffusion bbPress pack.
The threaded reply setting was enabled to a depth of ‘2’. The first reply was at the same level as the original posting and the reply to that was indented one level. When I increased the depth to ‘4’ and added more replies to replies, the threading worked. I guess I can live with the first reply being at the same level or I can muck around with the CSS if need be. 😉
Happy New Year
Maury
