I let it run whole night but no luck 🙁

I’m having a similar problem, none of my topics seems to show up under freshness in the forums root. It just says “no topics”, the other counters for topics and posts seem to be working fine though..

Anyone got a solution for this? I’ve used bbpress for some two weeks now and it’s been this way from the start, I’m using the newest versions of both WP and bbpress.

I need one,too.

[cnksaopw]

come here to see…

Yes, I do. I have checked the Akismet page in my dashboard and it says “Valid” in green under the API key and “All Akismet servers are available” and “Akismet is working correctly. All servers are accessible.”

I checked the Akismet stats and since I added bbPress it is showing 166 incidents of Ham in this month, but no spam and nothing prior to that. Would it see the new forum posts as “ham?” I am not requiring users to register, but letting them post with just a user name and email.

I really want to keep it that way, but I also want Akismet to protect us to some extent.

Hi guys, still looking for a solution to this rather big problem. I’m shocked that it’s this difficult to integrate bbPress with what is actually a fairly straightforward theme in terms of the coding hierarchy.

I have just commited the three versions of Kunena bbPress importer for bbPress 2.5

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/includes/admin/converters

Kunena1.php for Kunena v1.x Forums
Kunena2.php for Kunena v2.x Forums
Kunena3.php for Kunena v3.x Forums

If you could all give them some tests and let me know if it works or doesn’t work that would be great.

[Stephen Edgar]

At what point do I give up and start again. Should it take over four hours?

You should see it start and offer you some sort of notice that it has within seconds.

Via FTP or your web host cPanel admin etc, open your phpBB config file /public_html/phpbbv3/config.php and make sure these are the values you are using on the bbPress importer screen.

<?php
// phpBB 3.0.x auto-generated configuration file
// Do not change anything in this file!
$dbms = 'mysqli';
$dbhost = 'localhost';
$dbport = '3306';
$dbname = 'my_phpbb_database';
$dbuser = 'my_user_name';
$dbpasswd = 'abcdefgh';
$table_prefix = 'phpbb_';

(The $dbhost & $dbport may be blank as thats the default so use the settings I list above which are the default on the bbPress importer anyway)

[Stephen Edgar]

bbPress is a plugin for WordPress and will only use the WordPress database.

If your WordPress instances, instance “A” and instanace “B” are sharing databases already bbPress will use whatever database you have WordPress setup with.

I think if you had a look at configuring WordPress to use multisite

[Stephen Edgar]

Everything is still going fine, I ran some phpBB imports yesterday whilst implementing a few minor updates.

Details are here https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2467

Feel free to download the latest from here:

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/includes/admin/converters/phpBB.php

[Stephen Edgar]

You should have this file on your server /public_html/smf/Settings.php

Open up that file in a text editor

########## Database Info ##########
$db_server = 'localhost';
$db_name = 'db_smf';
$db_user = 'db_user';
$db_passwd = 'abcdefghigh';
$db_prefix = 'smf_';

They are the settings you need to use for your import.

bbPress 2.4.1
WordPress 3.7.1
Theme: ZeeNews

The colors used in the Topic Listings are very pale grey text and very pale yellow background. This is very difficult to read but I cannot find how or where to change it.

Have a look yourself on my site Emergency Retirement

Ideas anyone?

Thanks for reading this!

[Matoca]

I should mention that this setting is properly checked in the bbPress settings and has been since it was installed, as it appears to be the default setting:
Akismet Integration
Forum settings for Akismet
Use Akismet: Allow Akismet to actively prevent forum spam.

In most cases if a plugin was acting like this I would just un-install and then re-install but with the forum very active I don’t think I should be doing that?

[Techknowledgic]

I am so sorry for bumping but it’s really bothering me that issue that’s why i asked again here and i have disabled the registration so I lost many users and the second I enabled it again I got around 5 spam users in few minutes only

Thanks

@manuxel

Thanks for replying!
Yes they are under same server. I m using cpanel
so the directory of smf is
public_html/smf and for wordpress is public_html/forum.

I entered the previous db details and and put the limit as 100 for Row Limits
This server is shared though but its very fast,

[manuxel]

@sachinsud you need to post more info about your situation my friend.
For example, is you WP on the same folder of your SMF? for example
www/wordpress
www/smf

How did you input your info in the converter fields?
How long did you wait? Depending on your server it might work reeeeeeeally slow.
What did you input in ROWS LIMIT and DELAY? If you for example input 2000 rows and your server is slow or your in a shared host, it may take several minutes to show something…

Cheers

[sachinsud]

I need some help here.

I want to convert my forum from smf to bbpress.
So what exactly i did is
1) Installed wordpress and then installed bbpress.
2) Then i copied the converter file as mentioned https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/2380/SMF.3.php to the location where it was mentioned,
3) I went to my wordpress menu > tools > forum > import forum and i choose SMF.3 from there and filled all the required options. And when i click on convert the bar just stays at Starting Conversion and nothing happens.

What am i doing wrong here 🙁

[Matoca]

I installed bbPress about 3 weeks ago on an existing wp 3.7.1 installation that is kept up to date. It is working fine, but I noticed this morning when I look at replies in my dashboard that there is a field below the reply that says “Akismet: No recorded history. Akismet has not checked this post.” All replies and topics are not being checked by Akismet.

I have searched through every possible setting in the dashboard but I cannot find where I tell Akismet to actually check the forum topics and replies.

Can anyone provide me with a little more information? I tried searching the Akismet help files but they don’t reference bbPress or forum use.
Thank you, Matoca

[manuxel]

Thank you Stephen, so close to finally having my full site in WP, really, thanks for the hard work…

have a nice weekend.

hi there,

is there a way to hide the forum menu from other user visitors on the user’s profile, we feel its a privacy issue and really need this feature hidden so only the user can see their forum menu on their profile and not friends.followers and other members.

will be grateful for any help on this

thanks again

James

[Stephen Edgar]

Just uploaded a new version of SMF.php, the core changes of the forum import have not changed. The main changes are the regex (regular expressions) to convert SMF’s BBCode.

It is a start and only a few tweaks are left to do, alas it’s 10pm Friday night and I’m done for the night 😉

Hello,

Is it possible connect to external database?
I have two separately wordpress instances, instance “A” and instanace “B”.
I have installed BBpress plugin in both instances, but I need connect to only one database.

Is exists any configure file only for bbpress plugin?

thanks for ideas…

[ggwarpig]

It appears that scripts and styles in the default theme are being added regardless of whether I’m viewing the forums or not.

For example: I have bbpress setup at /forums/ but I’m seeing /bbpress.css in the header of /blog/ and other pages.

At a minimum, head_scripts() is outputting a jQuery document ready call that I can’t be having all over my site.

[rsix08]

hey thank’s a lot for your help. I’ve added the code but it doesn’t look like it worked.

this is the file I had to modify

/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php
