Hello, I have installed bbpress and added a forum and topic.
WordPress and BBPress are both the latest version.

The forum shows in a really odd way with items stacked on top of each other.
http://imagphoto.com/forums/forum/new-forum/

Secondly, the breadcrumb link to the forum results in a 404 http://imagphoto.com/forums/forum/
Yet the parent link in the breadcrumb works http://imagphoto.com/forums/

Is it possible to use pages and the shortcodes to have the forum within a page so that I can control the settings of the page and maybe dump the sidebar to see if that corrects the issue? I checked the documentation but could not see anything about this specific issue.

Many thanks for your help 🙂

I have imported a mingle forum to bbpress and it seems like most of it went fine. However there is one problem with about 10% of the topics.
Some of the posts in the topics has separated from the topic and created their own duplicate topic, but with just the one post, that was separated from the topic.

For instance you have a topic: new bike.
Author original: I want to buy a new bike, which do you recommend. (time: 14. nov. 10.40)
author 1: Cervelo is very good. (time: 14. nov. 11.45)
author 2: Yes take cervelo it is the best (time: 14. nov. 13.50)
Author original: great thx, will check it out
author 3: I prefer cannondale (time: 15. nov 10.05)
author 4: choose centurion (time: 15. nov. 12.30)

The import is done and now you get
Topic: new bike
Author original: great thx, will check it out (time: 14. nov. 16.40)
author 3: I prefer cannondale (time: 15. nov 10.05)

Topic: new bike
Author original:Cervelo is very good (time: 14. nov. 16.40)

Topic: new bike
Author original: choose centurion (time: 14. nov. 16.40)

Topic: new bike
Author original: I want to buy a new bike, which do you recommend. (time: 14. nov. 16.40)

Notice it has changed the time on the new topics to the same on all of them as well.

Any idea for a solution for this?
The forum has several thousands topics and replies, so it would be a lot to manually move all of them.

Hi all. I’m having some problems importing my phpBB forum into bbPress. My forum is quite big, those are my stats:
Posts: 576133 | Topics: 32722 | Users: 12306

I first tried a default import with 1000row/1sec setting. It ran for an entire day, however after around 60000 posts it just started giving me dashes (‘-‘ char) and I really didn’t know what to do or if it was normal. So i just stopped it.

After this I wanted to try more rows, assuming it was going to be faster. So I started (2 tries) a 5000 and a 10000 row imports. However I had it on starting conversion for an hours or more, and never actually started converting. I don’t have memory problems or errors, it’s just very slow I guess.

So my question is: Is there a way to import all together, maybe directly with some bash script, from shell without using a webserver. Or something else to speed it up instead of waiting days in my browser?

Thanks.

I’m not seeing this on any of my installs, try running the ‘Repair BuddyPress Group Forum relationships’ repair tool https://codex.bbpress.org/repair-forums/

I am not that familar with mod_fcgid but a quick search landed me here if that might help

Dropbox are using the old bbPress ‘Standalone’ 1.x version with some custom theming, though I wouldn’t recommend installing this old version as I am quite sure they have lots of customizations in the backend to get around the known numerous issues with the old version.

Go with the new version https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/installation/

Then start customizing the templates to the style you want

Same problem, it’s just hanging.

What stage do you get to though now?
(As you shouldn’t be seeing “Delete users WordPress default passwords Deleting previously converted data” etc)

“Deleting Conversion Table… Failed”

This is fine, it just depends on if bbPress used a conversion table to do the conversion or it used the source database tables correctly.

As well as the actual users there are a lot of bots etc. (e.g. AdsBot Google, Ask Jeeves Bot)

These are special phpBB user accounts that I haven’t found a way to ignore importing just yet and must be manually removed after importing, see the follwing for a list of them all.

Hi,

I wonder if there is a notification box or area for a user to see if his topic is under moderation? or a page. It seems to be hassle for the user to receive it via email. Also, I know there is a plugin called bbpress moderation but I don’t want to use it as it will slow down my site. I want everything to be just php code under the bbpress.

Can anyone help me? Thanks.

[zilveer]

EDIT;

I have the following set:

Setting>Forums>Forum User Settings>Auto Role – set to participant

And besides my installation of WP and bbpress is new installed.

Is this some kind of bug?

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,
I have WP 3.7.1 installed with bbPress 2.4.1.

When I create a user in frontend the user role is not set.

I need to use repair forum function in order to sync every time I create a user,
WordPress Dashboard -> ‘Tools’ -> ‘Forums’ -> ‘Repair Forums’

I am using the default twenty eleven theme.

Can someone please help me with this?

Hello,

I am currently working on a school project that is in dire need of a adequate forum and I think bbPress would fit the bill perfectly. I am completely new here, I just had one really quick question:

So I read that the dropbox support website forum, https://forums.dropbox.com/ was based on bbPress and I was wondering what it would take to make something as similar as possible to that.

We don’t need social functions, or any other sophisticated integration — we need a forum, login functionality and that’s it.

Could anyone give me some pointers or leads as to how I could accomplish this?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Currently the Forum Root is titled Forum Archive by default and there is no way to change it from the back-end. This is still impossible even when the Forum Root is partnered with a wordpress page optimized with a SEO pluggin like All In One SEO or WordPress SEO By Yoast.

So I think I going to modify the code to get this done, but I need your instruction, please help.

And how can I request this possibility as a default feature in the next BBPress realease? I think many people will thank it.

Thanks in advance,
Hung.

Hello,
I have Genesis Prose, and I guess I will have the latest version of the bbpress forum plugin. Here is my site, http://www.unclaimed-funds.org .

I would like to add a forum to the site, but I would like to get rid of the sidebar on the forum page.

Is this possible?

Thank you,

Mark

I’m not very experienced with bbPress. I am trying to make sure my forum works properly by creating a “test” user and trying to post from that account. When I submit the test post, it does not show up at all on the forum. Can anyone please help me with this?

[bbp-fan]

I thought it is possible because I have the default bbPress CSS in use. Nothing special, just the CSS that have probably all bbpress-user. But if it is not possible to find the solution, I will contact you as soon as I’ve finished the site so that I can release it.
Thank you again.

Finally got it sorted and was able to convert the phpbb3 forum into my local bbPress forum! I did indeed find an error involving the portal that was hitching me up on installing on my local server, but there is a possibility that I was making another mistake: I may have been telling the importer that the table prefix was phpbb3_ instead of phpbb_, since there are tables of both and I did not know that. I’m not sure if I was doing that or not.

So now do I export my bbPress tables from my local site using mysql and import them into my live site’s database?

[bbp-fan]

No, unfortunately not. 🙁 Also not with ! important.
Although these are exactly the two titles that I want to enlarge! The only that works is the solution with inherit, but that just increases all fonts in the forum and I do not want that. It also destroys the layout. I’m certainly not a CSS professional, but I have changed so much and it all worked. Why does this one not work?? I really do not understand what’s going on.

Is there any way to ask one of the bbpress-people?

WP 3.7.1, BP 1.8.1, bbPress 3.4.1. Forum is within a Group.

I’ve recently been seeing Internal Server Errors when trying to make new forum posts and replies. After clicking the Submit button it takes about 40 seconds and then the error appears. Interestingly, the UTL in the address bar changes to that of a recent post.

I have checked the server logs and see these 2 lines:

[warn] mod_fcgid: read data timeout in 40 seconds
[error] Premature end of script headers: index.php

This is a recent development and, to the best of my recollection, I haven’t changed anything.

Any insights would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Ok, open content-archive-forum.php

Sorry i understand what you want.. h1 title before id bbpress is made by wordpress, is title page, i think you find it in your page template!!

[squid1974]

Following is my loop-forums.php – I still don’t understand where the title is coming from…

<?php

/**
 * Forums Loop
 *
 * @package bbPress
 * @subpackage Theme
 */

?>

<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_before_forums_loop' ); ?>

<ul id="forums-list-<?php bbp_forum_id(); ?>" class="bbp-forums">

	<li class="bbp-header">

		<ul class="forum-titles">
			<li class="bbp-forum-info"><?php _e( 'Forum', 'bbpress' ); ?> </li>
			<li class="bbp-forum-topic-count"><?php _e( 'Topics', 'bbpress' ); ?></li>

			<li class="bbp-forum-freshness"><?php _e( 'Freshness', 'bbpress' ); ?></li>
		</ul>

	</li><!-- .bbp-header -->

	<li class="bbp-body">

		</div><!-- .tr -->

	</li><!-- .bbp-footer -->

</ul><!-- .forums-directory -->

<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_after_forums_loop' ); ?>

Not for this version.. for future version mybe.. I have made a function to rewrite title.. bbpress is not seo friendly for users… it generate duplicate pages!!

[squid1974]

Hi all,

I can’t find where the title output is coming from. I want to wrap it in a <h1>. In the default templates it starts with <div id="bbpress-forums"> and the title’s output is before that. But where is it coming from? I can’t find it.

[john_ggg]

Hi! You put in a great deal of efforts to this job! Well done!

[Lynq]

You would have to customise your theme to do so, but the data is there so you should be able to get something similar.

Have you got custom theme files for bbPress or are you using the bundled theme?
