I appreciate the reply, the reason I suggested that my settings were correct were that I used the settings out of that domain’s wp-config file.

However, let me ask you, how long does the converter script run before it starts feeding back responses on its activity? For example, if it is succeeding does it start listing the tables or posts successfully migrated?

My point is that I want to know whether I should walk away from it, if say, it hasn’t reported anything other than “started” within 5 minutes or so.

I had read an article that said it took 4-5 hours for a site that had 100,000 posts on a forum. I am no where near that, but want to know if there is more that it reports than “started” and “finished”.

Thank you!

OK there was a similar question in the Buddyboss forums and if you are using the Buddyboss theme, it should be put in the bbpress subfolder (copy to child theme if not there) in the oop-single-reply.php file after the
<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details' ); ?>

Now a further question – if I want to replace the Real Name displayed with only the @username, what should I do?
Thanks!

Hi,

I am trying to install a BBPress Forum to a website I am working on. However, after installing the plug-in the only page I can access is the edit page. Settings, Activate, and About bring me to a blank page with text that states “You Do Not Have Sufficient Permissions to Access this Page”

After installing the plug in, I clicked activate plug in from the page that shows it has been installed. I received the error message, but it still appears that the plug in has been activated, because it now says “deactivate” underneath it on the plug ins list.

The theme is Bretheon version 2.0.1, and WordPress version 3.6.1. Everything is up to date, and everything else is running smoothly. I do not have any other problems besides this plug in.

All I want to do is install a simple forum where people can communicate with each other.

Any more information I will gladly give. I am teaching myself web development, and want to be the best that I can possibly be. This installation however is giving me headaches!! Please help!!

I am running WP 3.6.1 with BBPress 2.4.1, BuddyPress 1.8.1, and WooThemes Canvas 5.4.0.

I noticed some JQuery code in the header of the homepage (and every other page on the site) for changing the code button to display backticks and for processing a few keybinds. This code originated from bbpress\templates\default\bbpress-functions.php and, according to the if statement that encapsulates the code, should only fire if bbp_use_wp_editor() is true. This if statement seems to be working incorrectly since the code shows up on the header of every page.

Now, this doesn’t cause issues for my site as far as I can see, but it does cause the site to run slightly slower because of the time it takes to load the code in the header. Anyone else have this issue?

Hi Guys,

I’m using WordPress 3.6.1 and BBpress 2.4.1 , but i having the same problem after installing and unistaling the BBpress plugin. I can’t create topics and a message “Error : Are You Sure you want to do this?” appears, please someone give me a solution for this

If you’ve installed bbpress WP tweaks plugin (in addition to the bbpress plugin) then there are two login widgets.

the one you want is called “bbpress login widget” rather than the “bbpress login links widget” that you have used.

[Robin W]

correction to the above – forgot that like you I didn’t like the default login form.

Install bbpress WP tweaks – it has a login that appears in the sidebar, so takes away the WP login. looks much better

eg

http://www.gospbc.co.uk/forums

Also gives you a bbpress sidebar which you can use with your forum pages and other goodies

[Robin W]

the bbpress login widget should just log them in, you shouldn’t get other login screens – what your url?

[Stephen Edgar]

Most likely you have an incorrect setting, see my post above and if needed contact your web host to get them.

Importing Mingle Forums into bbPress?

[modbunker]

Hi

Ive setup the forum and have the register link in the widget setup properly. My test profile was able to register and receive an activation email. But when/if I log out and try to sign back in using the BBPress Login Widget, after I click “login” it takes me to the wordpress login?

Is this how the login is supposed to work? Is there a way to login using the widget that doesnt prompt them to login with wordpress? Why after clicking on “login” does it take the user to another login screen and just log them in on that same page?

I dont feel secure if users can maybe access the backend to the site, but it looks like this is how this site works as well?

Ive installed a BBPress plugin called BBPress – No Admin does this solve my fear of them being able to access the backend?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Your best bet here will be to create a ticket on Trac for this:

I am having an obstacle. I begin the conversion process, with a forum with less than 200 posts in it, and I deactivate all plugins except Buddypress, BBpress, and Mingle.

I have tried this 2 or 3 times now, and virtually 12 hours later the converter is just spinning.

Any idea why the converter (assumed to be correctly configured) is just spinning with the message “Starting Conversion”?

[himali]

I also tried that but facing same same problem
as well as I also create another website and install only bbpress plugin but again facing same problem

[fettabachi]

WP 3.6.1
bbPress 2.4.1

After creating a new forum and setting visibility to hidden and then publishing it, I can no longer access the forum to edit it – it’s not listed. But the number indicator of my hidden forums does appear above the (empty) list. Clicking on that link has no effect.

The forum does appear on the frontend of the site and functions properly with topics etc. I just can’t access the forum in the backend.

Need help with that error message in forum-topics

`Home › Forums › Test

Warning: sprintf() [function.sprintf]: Too few arguments in /xxx/xxx/xxx/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/forums/template.php on line 187

anyone knows what is wrong?

[bassjobsen]

BBPress adds some jQuery dependent javascript to the header which breaks the defer loading (cause a javascript error).
Javascript will be insert by setup_actions in bbpress/templates/default/bbpress-functions.php

add_action( 'bbp_head', array( $this, 'head_scripts' ) );

Would it be possible to make this script independent of jQuery or otherwise insert it with wp_enqueue_script and set its dependency of jQuery?

I also want to know how to remove this action. I tried:

global $BBP_Default;
remove_action( ‘bbp_head’, array( $BBP_Default, ‘head_scripts’ ) );

Thanks for your attention. I will need this fixes to get WP Defer Loading work with BuddyPress, see: https://github.com/bassjobsen/wp-defer-loading/issues/5

[Morgensonne]

Stephen, I thank you very, very much!!!
I have set a margin-left to the point that you’ve told me and now it looks perfectly.

Please, would you also tell me how I could get that the “remember me” (in my screenshot in German “Daten merken”) is displayed in 1 line? That would be great!

Thanks in advance from Morgensonne!

Hi Bookkus, I have exactly the same problem here.
I’m using a child theme of BP default. bbPress 2.3.2, BP 1.7.3, WP 3.5.2.

The pages generated by bbPress follow my theme styling fine:
http://community.allen-heath.com/forums/forum/me

However when I use a bbPress shortcode, the styling / font goes wrong:

Have you ever fixed this?

Keeping your ‘Auto Role’ issue in a single topic is much easier to track, closing this topic.

Auto Role not working

[Stephen Edgar]

That plugin looks fine to use with bbPress 2.x, you just need to download either the bbpress-close-old-posts.php file and upload it to your plugins folder, or download the .zip, extract to a folder and upload that folder to your plugins folder.

But since it’s not listed at bbpress.org plugins list, I’m not sure if it’s safe or even compatible with my current install.

You will at times find many themes and plugins that are not hosted on WordPress.org, sometimes they are proprietary code, other times they are just quick snippets of code, it doesn’t mean they are unsafe and usually a quick note to the author will confirm if they work with the latest version of bbPress.

btw, searching for “lock” at bbpress.org plugins, at the bottom of the page you will see: ”Viewing 1 to 4 (4 total)” but there are only 3 plugins listed.”

Thanks, this is a known issue and will hopefully be fixed soon.

[Stephen Edgar]

Thanks for the feedback and as time goes on more and more bits keep getting added 🙂

If you do decide to give bbPress another shot the phpBB importer is pretty awesome so it shouldn’t be too hard to have a play in a dev site now and then either 😉

[Stephen Edgar]

Try reinstalling the bbPress plugin to ensure no files are missing or corrupted.

If you can export your Yahoo Groups data you should be able to import it into bbPress

If you can export it as CSV data then the following discussion should get you on the right track to get your data imported into WordPress/bbPress.
