@stagger-lee If the converter is stuck at Converting replies (10100 - 10199) click Stop wait a few seconds then click Start and the converter will continue on its merry way. 🙂

I added text both above and below the forums archive list by editing the content-archive-forum.php file (after I copied it into a bbpress folder inside my theme directory).

Either put it before the “bbpress-forums” div opens or after it closes (for before or after, respectively).

I’ve resychronized the phpbb3 forums and begun the conversion process by “Purge all information from a previously attempted import”. I then reimported also bringing the members this time and… still only up to five months ago 🙁 Wait, I wonder if that’s when I installed WP-United. I disabled the plugin, but maybe it’s somehow messing with the import process. Is there any way to import some phpbb3 tables into bbPress “by hand”?

“Internal Server Error” 😉

Yeah, another issue I was having is my phpBB3 private forums copied over public, and when I’d go into bbPress and choose “Hidden” and save it would refresh as “Open” again :/ so I deleted the forum. When I did that all hell broke loose for several hours. Server company said that phpBB3 was putting too much of a load on the shared server. I guess the import process put me close to the limit and the deletion process put me over.

I’ll try your suggestion, thanks.

I just migrated my legacy Buddypress forums to bbPress, and at first it seemed that everything was working great. Then I clicked on a topic and saw the notice info, and the reply form, but I presume that posts should be displaying in between. There’s nothing there in the code (so it’s not a CSS issue).

I created a brand new forum, a brand new topic, which you should be able to see here: http://atdp.berkeley.edu/forums/topic/test-topic-2/
There should be two posts (the topic post and a reply), but there’s nothing.

We use Buddypress groups, and the group forums have the same behavior. The forum and topic ULs look like they imported fine, but no posts appear when you click on a topic. So the symptoms persist for both pre- and post-migration forums, and for both group and site-wide forums.

I can see all topics and replies just fine in the backend and in the database, though it’s confused me that posts seem to be saved in the wp_posts table, not wp_bb_posts. I also can’t figure out where the new forum gets saved, because it’s not in wp_bb_forums, nor do new topics appear in wp_bb_topics. Anyway, they appear in Buddypress activity streams, and I can edit them in the backend, so it seems they’re just not making it to the page.

I’m using the theme Custom Community 1.17.3, and thought maybe that was the issue. Nope. Same exact behavior with Twenty Twelve and the default Buddypress theme.

I went through the standard toggling of plug-ins and saw no change.

WP version is 3.6.1, Buddypress 1.8.1, and bbPress 2.4. I updated to 2.4.1 in the hopes that that might fix something, but nope. I closely followed these instructions for migrating my data.

I’d love some troubleshooting ideas, because I’m about out!

Yes!!! Awesome thank you!! 🙂

Hi, maybe someone know help.

I have a forum with some child forums inside. When I open a child forum not only the releted topic are showen but also topics from other child forums.

E.g. this child forum “natural-fiber-bio-resin”:

http://auto-nomo.com/forums/forum/forum/natural-fiber-bio-resin/

Three topcs are displayed but only one belongs to this child forum. Any idea how to manage that only the related topics are displayed?

WordPress 3.6.1
bbPress 2.4
BuddyPress 1.8.1

Thanks for any idea …

In a default bbpress installation, I am seeing that the gravatar size is set to 80px. I learned that it can be changed in /templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php file. By adding the size parameter on line 45 like this:

<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'sep' => '<br />', 'show_role' => true ) ); ?>

to

<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'sep' => '<br />', 'size' => '44', 'show_role' => true ) ); ?>

I wanted to change it. Is it possible to do so without modifying any core template files?

awesome!

bbPress gets popular everyday.. with new users, new questions and new bugs! as you know bbPress is an open source project developed by a great volunteers from all over the world.

Which means many bbPress users can’t write in English and can’t ask support from the official forums, for this reason I suggest to add links in Codex(or any place), to all support forums that give a good support for bbPress in other language.

Maybe something like this:
http://codex.wordpress.org/L10n:Localization_Teams

for now bbPress start to gets popular in the Arabian Community, with a lot of questions from the new users, so we decided to give bbPress a special support, see:
http://www.ar-wp.com/forums/section/bbpress/

What you think?

[Nashwan D]

I was waiting for it.. Thank you all 🙂

2.4.1 was released yesterday. Update, and all should be well again.

[Stagger Lee]

Maybe some detailed clarification. It is about replies of some topic.

Converting replies (10100 - 10199)

[Stagger Lee]

Kunena converter (both 2.0 and 3.0) stuck at some specific Kunena topic it is importing.

Please add a function to bypass topics it cannot import, and make script continue with healthy topics. This way only one topic is missing, as it is now all topics behind one that makes problems are missing.

I would try to repair (or delete) that Joomla Kunena topic, but number “10999” says me absolutely nothing.

[zilveer]

I recommend you to just download the latest files from the trunk and upload it to your server and it should solve your issue.
After the v2.4.1 is release you could then just update your bbpress plugin again

Hi all, I’m trying to set up BBPress to combine forums and comments on my website, and I’m stumped by an odd issue.

I can create a menu page with the short code [bbp-forum-index] that looks and works perfectly, but whenever you go deeper into the forums, everything defaults to the Post template – which means I get the standard blog sidebar (that I don’t want on the forum) and an author detail at the bottom of the page.

I’ve tried turning off comment integration (disabling the plugin) and it doesn’t seem to make a difference. Can anyone help?

[fazcue]

Hello,

i’m having this problem in all my buddypress + bbpress sites.

The page title is not showing when I create a topic inside a buddypress group.

I’ve tried disabling all others plugins, but yet it doesn’t work.

Is there any fix for this? I’m having duplicate titles in all my groups topics because of this :/

Thanks!

Hello. I am the owner of http://www.gamingtracks.com, Pingal Pratyush.

Thanks

I’m first!!.. Provide to upgrade now!!

[Stephen Edgar]

First up, make sure you have run the phpBB recount tools which ‘should’ make sure phpB database is in good shape before you get started.

The importer is designed to import your users from phpBB and that is where your problems will now be as you already have some users in WordPress…

During the import the importer if it finds a username already exists eg ‘username’ it will create a new user with a prefix ‘imported_’ eg ‘imported_username’.

After the import is finished you can use WordPress’ user admin panel to delete (one by one) each ‘imported_’ user and as you do you are presented with the option to reassign all posts to another user, select the user you want from the dropdown list and your done.

This gets painful very quickly if you have 1,000 users to do this to one by one.

“Internal Server Error” 😉

[Halo Diehard]

Hello, I am once again seeing if I can switch over to bbPress, since WP-United does not play well with so many phpBB3 and WP social extras, and upon import I am only getting posts up to four months ago, with nothing for the last four months. Also, somehow the import process is switching some authors. I’m not sure if I should be importing the users or not (I think I’ve tried both), or what the best practice is since I already have a WP userbase of the same people who made the posts that I’m importing from phpBB3. In fact, because of WP-United, they are linked in some way.

Any help would be appreciated! I’ve been at it for a number of days. My WordPress version is 3.6.0 and my bbPress version is 2.4.

You may be surprised to see my bbPress forum: I’m currently altering the css to make it look like my phpBB3 one, using @Lynq’s bbPress starter theme and Daniel St. Jules’ CoDFaction phpBB3 theme.

Please discuss bbPress 2.4.1 here. Thanks!

[Stephen Edgar]

bbPress does not include ‘attachments’, if you are using a plugin to allow attachments in bbPress then it is up to that plugin to have attachments uploaded to S3.

[Da Jules]

Hi,
can we setup bbpress to save all attachments and serve media files from Amazon s3?

Is this done via a WordPress plugin like: http://wordpress.org/plugins/amazon-s3-and-cloudfront/screenshots/

Thanks.
