@ Stephen, thanks.
My apologies i didnt answer earlier. Had many projects and not much time. Customizing bbPress is something i try to learn for future projects, and one project it is not hurry for.
I will test converting today and write results.
Just want to know how does bbPress include page templates (/templates/extras/….) into the WordPress page template dropdown which are available when creating new pages. Just want to know where the code exists in the codebase
I found out that I misunderstood your post. I downloaded plugin that you suggested and checked the code. I remembered that I used is_bbpress() somewhere and that was the solution for my problem. There’s the snippet of code that I used in my theme in file functions.php:
/* Do not search pages, only posts and if there's a request from bbPress or Admin panel than ignore setting of post type */
function search_filter($query) {
if ($query->is_search && !is_admin() && !is_bbpress()) {
$query->set('post_type', 'post');
}
return $query;
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'search_filter');
Thank you very much again! 🙂 🙂
no, simply click the avatar – for instance since this support forum is bbpress,. just click the picture of pigs to the left of this post – you’ll see my topic count.
Do this for your website, an dit should show the posts for whichever user is in the avatar
If you click the avatar, you should go through to the profile page for that user, where bbpress shows the topic and reply count – can you tell me if those are also 0?
This will tell me whether it is a bbpress or my plugin issue
Hello
I installed bbPress Version 2.4.1 into WordPress 3.7.1 with Atahualpa theme and set up the forums.
I realized that editing is too limited to be useful. Some research showed that bbPress disabled the visual editor several versions back, but some people managed to activate it since then with some “code snippets”.
The code snippet does not work. I get errors. As I am not a Techie and for the most part do not know what I am doing, does anyone have simple instructions on how to get the visual editor in bbPress to work again?
Appreciate all help on this
Andy
You are right. There’s a problem because WordPress filters all searches, including the bbPress. Now I don’t know how to recognize if the search is coming from WordPress’s search box or bbPress’s searchbox.
I don’t need search box for forum on first/home page, but I need to filter results when searching with WordPress’s search box. I must not show pages in it, so that’s why I’m searching solution.
Thank you!
Actually, I found a thread that explains the issue better than I could when I first posted this. I’ve also updated it with more info:
New topics and replies not showing, freshness incorrect
It’s very strange.
Not sure how much help I can be, but can you post a link to a forum thread where this is happening?
and say which replies they can’t see – eg is it all their own replies, or just the first one?
I’d also suggest eliminating conflicts by disabling all the plugins (except bbpress of course!) and seeing if the problem goes away. If it does, re-enable the plugins one by one to see which is causing the conflict.
if the plugins are not the issue, then change to a default theme such as twentytwelve and see if it still occurs
Just to give some more info about this from what I’ve experienced too:
I’m using WP 3.7.1 and bbPress 2.4.1. I’m using the Fresh News theme from WooThemes. I tested this with another account and a friend. Topics are not an issue for me; it’s only replies that are causing an issue. I have also tried disabling my other plugins to no avail.
1. If I reply using either account, I cannot see the reply on the account that I made the reply with, but I can see it with my other account immediately. My friend can also see my reply immediately from her account and when she’s logged out. The same happens when my friend makes a reply. She cannot see her own reply, but I can see it immediately on both of my accounts and when I’m logged out. Refreshing the page (multiple times) does not cause the reply to appear for the user that made the reply.
2. If a reply is made by a logged-in user and the user immediately logs out, suddenly, their reply becomes visible. If a logged-out user makes a reply then immediately logs in, suddenly their reply becomes visible.
Something interesting to note is that I run the same site on two different domains with the same host but different servers. Everything is exactly the same on both sites… I just use one to test things before I install/transfer it to the “real” site. On my test site, I do not have this issue at all. Same exact theme, plugins, settings, etc. Everything is exactly the same, yet I am only having this weird reply lag on my “real” site.
bbpress 2.4.1 comes with it’s own search function, which only searches forums.
this post also describes forum only search boxes which might help

Nor to me !!
Perhaps one for JJJ or Stpehen edgar to answer
It’s no doubt linked to the fact that bbpress is a plugin. I also run MarketPress on my site (an on-line shop) and the user details for that also don’t appear until I edit – so it’s not just bbpress that doesn’t do it, which would tend to indicate a wordpress constriction, rather than bbpress failing.
I still don’t understand why the forum roles appear in the role drop down after I deactivate bbpress…doesn’t seem logical or make sense to me…but at least I can now add people with forum roles. Thanks for your help
You don’t need to deactivate bbpress, just create a user, then after creation go straight back in and edit – once you’ve clicked save on the create, you’ll see a bar at the top of the next screen that will say something like “xx user created – edit”, and you can just click that, so whilst an annoyance, quite easy
Or did you mean something else?
Happy to hear(read) that, and I envy you, I tried converting my SMF to phpbb first and didn’t work 🙁
Anyway, congratulations, enjoy this beautiful piece of software.
Thanks everyone! Its all sorted.
I first converted to phpbb and from there i converted to bbpress 🙂
Now just playing with bbpress feeling exited and happy!!
Have you tried on a local install of xampp or wamp in your PC?
Hi Robin – thanks for replying.
Initially, I couldn’t find what you were referencing…then I found it at the bottom of the user page.
So every user has to initially be given a blog role when added? do you know of any plugins or code which which would reveal the forum roles when I initially add users?
I still don’t understand why the forum roles appear in the role drop down after I deactivate bbpress…doesn’t seem logical or make sense to me…but at least I can now add people with forum roles. Thanks for your help
yes i did that only.
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.
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.
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)
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
