Hello,
Where do I go to change a users Forum Role? If I open up the user in the dashboard I see no option for Forum Role. Just Role with no option for Contributor or Keymaster. When I browse to the user’s bbpress page I see no option for Forum Role either. I appreciate your support locating where this field is edited. Thanks.
Now the conversion process seems to have stopped when there’s about eight thousand Replies left to convert… I don’t see the spinning thing anymore indicating progress, but get the same time limit warning.
Also, as mentioned, posts/Replies are all assigned to me, instead of the users who made them.
Solved it. It’s a incompatibility issue with Another WordPress Classifieds Plugin (AWPCP). I deactivate AWPCP and bbPress started work again.
Anybody know of a way I can assign posts to authors by their ip? All my imported posts are being assigned to the admin 🙁 but they have the correct ip’s attached to them. I did opt to import users with the posts.
WP Version: 3.6.0
bbPress Version: 1.8.1
I’m importing from phpBB3 and yes I synced everything in phpbb3 first and then in bbPress after 😉 I am also having other issues that I’m trying to get support for in another thread (posts only import up to five months ago)
Hi, I’m creating a new website and I installed bbpress. At first it worked, then it simply started showing “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.” when I try to change the plugin settings in the administration. Also, the Forum option in the sidebar of the administration didn’t show anymore. I uninstalled the bbpress and installed again. It worked. About one hour later I tried to access the forum settings and the same problem was happening. I tried again to reinstall bbpress but this time didn’t worked.
I saw cases where the message “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.” was shown in the whole administration, but didn’t find a case where it was shown only in the pages related to bbpress. Also the forum works in the front-end, but I’m unable to create a topic, showing “ERROR: You do not have permission to create new topics.”
I’m using WordPress 3.6.1(in PT-BR) and bbpress 2.4.1.
Well some editor reported me this, then I’ve checked the error log and I’ve found this:
[13-Oct-2013 21:22:03] WordPress database error Table ‘diytech1_wor5.zhb_bp_groups_groupmeta’ doesn’t exist for query SELECT group_id FROM zhb_bp_groups_groupmeta WHERE meta_key = ‘forum_id’ AND meta_value = ‘2874’; made by require_once(‘wp-admin/admin.php’), do_action(‘load-tools_page_bbp-repair’), call_user_func_array, bbp_admin_repair_handler, call_user_func, bbp_admin_repair_group_forum_relationship
Since the last update on bbpress editors cant login on wp-admin, they see a blank page.
How to fix it?
Now I have disabled Kiss Portal, purged the cache in phpBB3, resyncronized in phpBB3, imported to bbPress, and resynced there and still upon import only get posts up to five months ago.
Anybody have a clue what the issue might be or know of a resource that might show me how I can retrieve my posts from phpBB3 into bbPress by hand?
It seems to work now when I set the number of rows very low (10) and give it plenty of delay (5 seconds).
The conversion process is about halfway through the Replies now, but all the posts – so far anyway – are assigned to me, instead of the users who originally created Topics and posted those Replies.
I originally was importing from v1.1.18 and had this problem. I then updated to 2.0.5 and down to 2.0.4, but both resulted in the same issue.
I accessed the information from the Server Settings page of the forum and believe I have the correct fields for all the values.
Could the database port have any effect?
I have followed WP-United author’s instructions for removal by disabling in WP, removing the code (by hand to be sure) from all phpBB3 files and deleting WP-United files from phpBB3, deleting the plugin in WP. I then purged the cache in phpBB3, resyncronized in phpBB3, imported to bbPress, and resynched there – – Still only get posts up to five months ago 🙁
Maybe it’s the Kiss Portal that’s causing the issue? Maybe it puts a difference in the database that the importer doesn’t recognize?
I’ve installed BBPress plugin with WordPress on a brand new install of both. Everything worls fine, except that when the topic authors name or image is clicked the system directs to /forums/users/[username] and that gives a 404 error. Including for me as the administrator.
I’ve searched for a solution but can’t find one. I see lots of people with an issue that the users get 404 but admin doesn’t but I don’t even get that.
I’m hoping someone can help me.
I have installed bbPress on a wordpress-website where there are several usergroups. All groups have their own forum, and there is an overall forum. The problem is that when a user has made a new topic on a forum, only the title shows, not the content. The content is there though. If you edit the topic (as user) you can see and edit the title ánd the content. But no user can see it in the normal way. All replies are visible, but not the original content of the topic. Only if logged in as admin you can see the first content of the topic.
WordPress version 3.5.2
bbPress version 2.2.4
theme Twenty Twelve Child
I think it is a conflict with User Access Manager 1.2.2 (which I use for making the usergroups) but I have read about people having the same issue with bbPress in combination with other user acces manager plugins. Unfortunately I cannot find a solution 😉
I have been receiving a steady stream of the following error message (using Deprecated Call plugin)
Incorrect Use of bbp_setup_current_user()
The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init().
This message was added in version 2.3.
bbPress – 2.4.1
WordPress – 3.7-beta2-25760
I have tried that — resetting and starting the conversion process again. But not with a lower row count and higher time interval, so I’ll give that a go.
Resetting the forums does not remove all the imported users, by the way. Is that a problem? Should I select “Start a fresh conversion from the beginning” or “Purge all information from a previously attempted import” or both?
Thanks for your help so far.
My bad, it should be message, copy and paste error on my part.
I suggest you reset the forums codex.bbpress.org/reset-forums/ and give it another go, I would also suggest due to your web host limiting some of the changes we try to make is to drop some of the values eg. to 50 rows at a time rather than the default 100, set the time to 2 seconds delay.
If it appears that the importer stalls again, simply click ‘Stop’ wait a few seconds for your host to finish up any tasks its performing and click ‘Start’ and the import should resume from where it left off.
Hey Stephan, thanks for your reply.
I’m running punBB 1.4.2. I actually upgraded to the latest version before I started the conversion process.
There is a _posts table but not a “message text” field. It’s called just “message”. All the others look just the way you describe them.
No, it doesnt do anything, just spinning. Maybe it needs to be start from beginning next time without “Purge Previous Import” checked. Seems as it try now to do all from very scratch.
Sometimes the ‘Purge previous import’ gets a little confused 😉
You can Reset Forums which will remove all forums, topics, topic tags & replies from the WordPress database giving you a ‘clean’ bbPress to start again.
Dont want to be rude, but make plugin little bit verbose, put some info around, dont be leasy.
As the converter is constantly being improved in bbPress we will get more verbose/debugging information in there in future versions. Generating this type of information supporting the ever growing ~35 different forum conversion scripts is no easy task and we are trying not to be vague yet at the same time not be to verbose either.
@ricov4 What version of SMF are you trying to import from?
Make sure you have the correct fields for ALL of the values:
- Database Name: Name of the database with your old forum data
- Database User: User for your database connection
- Database Password: Password to access the database
- Table Prefix: (Possibly could be
smf_)
The error is due to a few settings we try to make with your web host to help the importer along with some time limits and memory limits. If you are getting forums and topics imported fine we can probably (for now) ignore the error.
What version of PunBB are you trying to import from?
Can you open up phpMyAdmin and confirm you have a _posts table, it may have a prefix eg punbb_posts and does it have the following fields in the table structure:
id, poster, poster_id, poster_ip, poster_email, message, hide_smilies, posted, edited, edited_by & topic_id
Thanks for the awesome work, you guys!
I have tried running the importer a few times now, but it just states that there none of the forum items (users, topics, replies, etc.) to import. Any ideas why this could be happening? (My forum on SMF has many users and data)
Thanks for your help,
Ryan
Thanks Stephen! I’ve been waiting for this.
Unfortunately, the converter seems to get stuck at the point where it’s supposed to start importing Replies. It brings over Forums, Topics and Users just fine, though.
It also repeatedly gives me the following Warning, nor sure if it’s connected..
Warning: set_time_limit(): Cannot set time limit due to system policy in /customers/e/e/2/[MY URL]/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/converter.php on line 306
OK, one hour passed. I started with “Purge Previous Import” disabled and it doesnt work.
Stop => Start doesnt work.
Wish someone could test it locally.
No, it doesnt do anything, just spinning. Maybe it needs to be start from beginning next time without “Purge Previous Import” checked. Seems as it try now to do all from very scratch.
But then it is risk of database corruption and duplicates. Dont want to be rude, but make plugin little bit verbose, put some info around, dont be leasy. 🙂
“Starting Conversion” and spinning and spinning. I will wait 10-15 minutes.
Thank you, i am just trying that, and report comes.
Some other thing, converter stops with error because you have hard coded database prefix at line 365:
'join_expression' => 'ON kunena_messages_text.mesid = kunena_messages.id LEFT JOIN jos_kunena_topics AS kunena_topics ON kunena_messages.thread = kunena_topics.id WHERE kunena_messages.parent != 0',
That “jos_” i need to change to my Joomla prefix and all is OK.
