Is not good idea to change core code… And when bbpress is updated you lost all your modifies…

I also forgot to add the “freshness” time is also out of sync on some pages.

hello Stephen.

i am running version 4.1.5

as for the sql limitation, i have own dedicated server so if I can get this corrected if you point me the right direction. I have never done this before.

the problem is still the same. I am now on 280K posts and all the topics are either assigned to wrong person, anonymous or its owners. once again The process came to a slow transfer once I reached the high treshold.

you could try

Anyone have Prev/Next Thread / Forum plugin?

[Robin W]

you can add this function to your functions.php

function disable_all_widgets( $sidebars_widgets ) {       
    if ( function_exists('is_bbpress') ) {
        if (is_bbpress()) {
            $sidebars_widgets = array(false);
            remove_all_actions('bp_register_widgets');
            unregister_sidebar( 'bp_core_widgets' );
        }
    }
    return $sidebars_widgets;
}

add_filter('sidebars_widgets', 'disable_all_widgets', 1, 1);

or this to your style.css

.bbPress #primary {
display: none;
}

1. Users are not in sync with their topics and replies. Some topics with no replies downloaded yet are in ok, but many are not. Some topics are assigned to users who never posted anything, some are assigned to admin and the rest are assigned to their owners.

Until the repair tools are run after the import you will pretty much always see issues like this, the tools need to be run to get everything in sync.

2. At somewhere at 350,000 posts, the whole process slows down (10 posts per 20 seconds or worse) to turtle speed.

This can be your web host limiting the amount of SQL queries you can run per hour/day etc, contact your web host and ask them what limitations are on your hosting plan.

3. I repaired whatever I downloaded using the bbpress repair page and I don’t see anything fixed.

Odd, though it makes my first answer moot, but it is still important in that the execution order of the importer can significantly make these things look weird when it has imported a topic and expects there to be 12 replies but only sees 3.

So for now, kind of ignore my answers to 1 & 3 above and lets start on what version of vBulletin are you trying to import from? (and we can go from there)

[Stephen Edgar]

Your issue has nothing to do with bbPress, bbPress does NOT contain the string ‘Hack tool’ anywhere in its source, I would take a look at any other plugins you may be running.

[Stephen Edgar]

Where does it say that? 😉 I just changed it to MySQL 😉

https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/custom-import/

Take a look at the following for some reading material to help get you going.

Importing from DotNetNuke Active Forum

The basis of what ended up being used is here.

Mix all that in with this on converting from Microsoft SQL to MySQL (This was Access but the same tools should do MSSQL fine)

Documented import from snitz access database

Let me know how that all goes for you and I will follow up with more 🙂

I like bbpress but I am desperately trying to make it work for moving a large forum from vbulletin.

I tried to move my forum several times and everytime I move users, topics and some replies, I notice that users and some of their true replies are out of sync. In other words, some user are assigned to topics they didn’t start or reply to and other topics are assigned to admin. No, I didn’t wait for 1 million replies to be downloaded. I checked the first 350,000K replies and everything seems to be a mess.

1. Users are not in sync with their topics and replies. Some topics with no replies downloaded yet are in ok, but many are not. Some topics are assigned to users who never posted anything, some are assigned to admin and the rest are assigned to their owners.
2. At somewhere at 350,000 posts, the whole process slows down (10 posts per 20 seconds or worse) to turtle speed.
3. I repaired whatever I downloaded using the bbpress repair page and I don’t see anything fixed.

I am not sure what is causing this. Is this normal?

I need help. I can give links and login info to bbpress staff if required.

[Robin W]

Suggest you add the plugin

bbpress WP tweaks

and then use the

(bbpress) login widget

added to your sidebar.

Hi guys,

I realised I posted this in the wrong forum so I’m adding it here. 🙂

Is there any way for me to adjust the current BBPress and get back profile activity posting, so whenever someone posts in the forum, it shows on their BuddyPress profile activity feed?

This works in previous versions of BBPress but is broken in the current version.

Thanks!

Hello

I am trying to import my phpbb forum into bbPress. I put all the correct values in for the database but it comes back and says:

Conversion Complete
No reply_to parents to convert
No replies to convert
No tags to convert
No topics to convert
No forum parents to convert
No forums to convert
Starting Conversion

The tables are loaded with forum data. Any suggestions?

[patc890]

We just started to use bbpress forum and noticed that some of the entries are out of order (time and date). I just put in a test entry and it shows up before two other entries up to 10 days before this one.
Can anyone tell me what the problem is?

Thanks.

Hi,

I managed to create a TinyMCE plugin and add it to wordpress editor (which is the same as bbpress).

So far so good.

Using

$ args ['teeny'] = false;

config, my tinymce plugin’s button show normal.

But, I need to be displayed in the default editor for bbpress, in teeny editor.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot.

[Mailhilfe]

Do you think about to add different time areas for each user in the bbPress Profile?

Hi guys,

Is there any way for me to adjust the current BBPress and get back profile activity posting, so whenever someone posts in the forum, it shows on their Activity feed?

@johnjamesjacoby I read https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-2-0-updates/ and am just wondering if I create a forum topic with an external URL that it will tell that blog that I pinged them, now?

[unklee]

Hi Stephen, I understand you have many things to do and mostly in your “spare time”, but I think some documentation like this would reduce the number of questions and promote the product.

I don’t know enough yet to write anything, but if/when I resolve my problems, I might give it a go. I am sorry to see that people don’t always come back to the thread they started with a question when they have the answer, to tell us what they worked out, so I had already planned to do that.

Thanks for your response.

[Stephen Edgar]

@unklee Thnaks for your feedback, all great ideas and it is just really a time issue, our 9-5 day jobs get in the way of spending more time with bbPress 😉

Anyone with a WordPress/bbPress/BuddyPress username & password can edit and update the codex so we may not mention this fact as often as we should and are extremely grateful when new contributions occur.

Just go to https://codex.bbpress.org/ and click ‘login’ and have at it 🙂

[unklee]

Guys, I have been a WordPress user for a couple of years, but just beginning to work out bbpress. It looks great (thanks!) but I’m finding a few difficulties working out a few things.

I want to suggest that you enlarge the Codex slightly to assist new users, with a section titled something like “Some common issues”. It could include your recommendations and suggestions on the following:

Getting sidebars the way you want them:
Outline the various common problems and the recommended approaches/plugins to solving them (there are many threads on this, not all resolved):

• remove all sidebars
• Get the same sidebars as your blog
• Different sidebar to blog

Styling
Do we need a special CSS or can we use the CSS from the blog?

Features of most forums
Most forums have features that it is sometimes hard for newbies to find the right way to get them, so giving us some good advice would really help:

• List of forums in sidebar
• List of recent posts in sidebar
• Login/register box
• HTML/BBCode buttons – is a separate plugin useful?
• Admin & moderation

I know you probably don’t want to favour some plugins over others, but giving us your best advice, and maybe listing a couple of alternatives, would be very helpful.

Thanks.

[baylock]

I really hope someone will be able to help you on this but I believe, as long as BBpress works ok out of the box, that the question should be asked to your main theme maker.
Maybe it was supposed, at some point, to work on some previous version of BBPress?

Anyway, if you know how to use css, this should be something that could be solved within minutes.
I would help if I could but without having this specific theme styles, it’s difficult to know remotely what to tweak.

Anyway, I hope you’ll find your answer around here!

Regards.

[mrmandinga]

Hello. I have a theme which is supossed to be compatible with BBPress, but for some reason the forum looks weird: the lines or rows are broken. I couldnt find a solution. This is a screenshot:

Anyone had the same problem or knows how to solve it?

[unklee]

Hi Robin, I tried what you said (exactly, including logging out) and I’m afraid it didn’t work for me. I still see the blog sidebar with about 8 widgets in it, and not the bbpress sidebar with just one (trial) widget in it.

I note that others talk about changing the permalinks and I haven’t done that because I’m not sure exactly what they mean.

I really want to get this sorted, and I’d prefer not to have to do it by changing some of the php files, because I’m a very rough php coder! I wonder whether there’s anything else I should do that is so obvious to everyone that they’re not saying it, but it’s not obvious to me.It would be good if we could work out a definitive set of instructions, because a lot of people seem to have this issue.
