I don’t think things have progressed much further than what you have found thus far. The best place to keep track of this would be to subscribe to the bbPress Trac ticket #2191.

You should upgrade your bbPress v1.02 to bbPress v1.2 and then import into bbPress v2.x.

Legacy

[Stephen Edgar]

Which version are you using? Make sure you are using the latest (and correct) version.

There are now three versions of the Kunena importer:

• Kunena1.php for Kunena v1.x
• Kunena2.php for Kunena v2.x
• Kunena3.php for Kunena v3.x

[Stephen Edgar]

Forum Section

• Added Forum Display Order using wbb1_1_board.sortOrder
• Added wbb1_1_board.boardType and callback method callback_forum_type where category =1 & forum = 0
• wbb1_1_board.isClosed & callback method callback_forum_status where closed =1 & open = 0
• (Are the above values correct for these DB fields? I have guessed these ;))

Topic Section

• Changed callback method for Topic Language from callback_topic_reply_count to callback_topic_language
• Added topic author ip
• Your SQL join for the topic content looks good

Reply Section

• Fixed ‘Reply parent forum id’ (we need the ‘parent forum’ here not the first ‘post id’, the inline docs were not very clear here)
• Removed ‘Reply Unregistered Author name’ (See #2347for more info)

User Section

• Added ‘User Signature’ wcf1_user.signature

Generally cleaned up the code and inline docs to match the other importers.

Hi, I’m thinking of a website entirely implemented in wordpress that has a section in which the user can identify and from there you can access different pages and also to an online store WooCommerce. If the user would not have to buy anything to be re-identified.

All this I can integrate bbpress?, I need some additional plugin?

Thank you!

Xavier.

Hi Guys

I know WordPress to a reasonable level but am completely new to forum building and BBPress. I am hoping my question has a simple answer and is probably me missing something very simple.

I have set up the forum for a charity I am working with, its installed fine and we have some test topics up and running. No problems.

The installation provides me with a forum address of http://mydomain.com/forums/forum/forum-name which is fine.

All I want to do is basically add some notes/welcome message and an image just above where the forum starts but I dont seem to be able to do it. When I go into my form and add in text or an image, in the same way you would add to a page/post then save it, nothing appears?

Any ideas at all how I can achieve this? Should this be happening in the way that it is?

Many thanks!

Justin

Hi I am not denying search engines nor changed the site address yet I don’t have notifications when the user is mentioned in the forums with @username
It’s working in the Activity stream though.
Anyone else have similar problems?

Buddypress 1.8.1, bbPress 2.4 and WordPress 3.6.1

@Allen Hi, your database name and also your DB username have to be dnadjser_dbname and dnadjser_usrname

Cheers.

[palmdoc]

Any solution? Thanks

[AJ's WebCreations]

ok I will try that. but just to make sure this is how the layout is for the phpmyadmin

before all databases (dnadjser)
then the database name _smp3
I just want to make sure I put the right thing where it needs to be.

[jenseo]

Solved it! Changed it to the latest jQuery version (1.10.2) and now it works like a charm!

[jenseo]

Ok, I have partly found the problem!

I’m relying on Google’s jQuery-packs since these load much faster. I’m having the following code in my functions.php file:

	// Load jQuery
	if ( !is_admin() ) {
	   wp_deregister_script('jquery');
	   wp_register_script('jquery', ("http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.2/jquery.min.js"), false);
	   wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
	}

When removing this line, it suddenly works. The problem is that I would like to keep using Googles libraries…

Any suggestions?

// Jens.

Hi!
I’m using pretty permalinks on my WordPress site and has been working hard with the SEO on the site.

One thing I can’t seem to solve, although I have been googling and searched this forum for days now, is how to get rid of the /topic/ and /forum/ parts of the permalinks when using bbPress.

Is it even possible?

The ideal setup for me, that would also reflect how the rest of my site is set up, would be something like this:

mysite.com/forums/name-of-the-forum-topic/name-of-the-thread

Is this possible to accomplish?

Thanks a lot for a great plugin!

// Jens.

Hello!

I just started building my own Forum and so far it’s working great, except for some minor problems.

One of them is that the frontend editor, with the buttons for making text bold, italic etc doesn’t show up when replying to something. It works great when creating a new topic, but not when answering.

Anyone else experiencing the same thing?

Thanks!

// Jens.

I went to clan.wolflan.com and your source code looks like some paragraphs were added by your editor as I see some <p> and </p> in weird places. What software did you use to edit loop-single-forum.php or your functions.php ?

I was not able to check because some of your forums are private, but what’s the html source code for the list of subforums ? (I mean in the browser) Is there a <br /> between the list of subforums ? Because, when I watch your screenshot, subforums are not separated by a comma, so I guess the function did his job, but your code may be broken because you used WordPress editor or an other editor that deleted the <br />.

Anyway, in your case, the simplest solution may be using some CSS. And as you said, simple stuff first ! You wouldn’t need to change any php template. You may try something like that in your style.css or Custom CSS if you use Jetpack :

#bbpress-forums .bbp-forums-list li {
  display: block;
}

If it works, I don’t know what was the problem with the bbp_list_forums() function, but you will not need to use it and you can delete the custom loop-single-forum.php that you copied to your theme’s directory if you had not made other edits.

[PureLoneWolf]

Hi there

The theme itself doesn’t supply any bbpress templates, so I copied loop-single-forum.php from the bbpress default theme and created a theme/bbpress folder and dropped it in there.

http://pastebin.com/dARzjbvb

There is no loop-forums.php file in there at the moment.

Many thanks

[palmdoc]

I am pleased to report I managed to successfully upgrade to bbPress from legacy forums
The proper code to put in the Forums page is:
[bbp-topic-index]

[manuxel]

@Allen in the last shoice, the prefix for SMF is “smf_” try it with that and see if the error persists.

And about the user, if you created one and added the privileges it should work.

Hi, I have tried to use bbpress as my forum page. It has 49 forums and include pics. What I want is that the forum page looks like a gallery. It shows list style only. I would like to make it like a gallery or table style.

Second question. bbpress shows the pics with title, but it is above the picture. How can I put it down under the picture?
Please let me know if there are solutions. Thanks!!!

[Kaliceos]

Normally, the main forum list is built using loop-single-forum.php but your theme may work in a different way. Can you put on pastebin.com your bbpress/loop-single-forum.php and bbpress/loop-forums.php from your theme or child-theme ?

[Beau Lebens]

Yes, except that I work at Automattic (we run WP.com), so we can run whatever we want on WordPress.com. Getting bbPress working there would be a very different project from what we’re doing with o2.

[Erlend]

Thank you very much for chiming in Beau. Your points make sense, except the first one has me a bit confused. o2 is going to be a plugin, like bbPress. So isn’t “WordPress.com runs WordPress, not o2” just as true?

the code will be open source, so you’re welcome to take pieces and apply it to bbPress as well.

I sincerely hope that will be feasible. Excitedly looking forward to seeing o2 in action!

[Beau Lebens]

I suppose there are a few reasons for this, but the most immediate are:

• Our primary goal is replacing our own internal communications platform (P2). That runs on WordPress.com, which runs WordPress, not bbPress (this is probably the biggest one).
• We (the team working on it) are more natively WordPress developers than bbPress specifically.
• Quite simply, we didn’t really think about it until we were already well along the way building it for WordPress.

There are no plans to do anything related to bbPress, but the code will be open source, so you’re welcome to take pieces and apply it to bbPress as well.

[AJ's WebCreations]

I am trying to run this script. I added the the SMF.php file. I am running SMF 2.0.4 on the one I am trying to import. The SMF 2.0.4 was done with simple scripts a while back don’t know if that would have anything to do with it. Maybe it is the settings I am using I am not sure about the last choice (If converting from BuddyPress Forums, use “wp_bb_” or your custom prefix)

Also with it being a simple script install I do not know the user password, so I created another user will all privg and added it to the database and used that one.

I select
rows limit 100
delay time 1
convert users (check)
I hit start then after a little bit I get a yellow box with an error but with a link to continue. I hit continue and it takes me to the repair page I do that step and I have nothing showing that would indicate that it worked. No post topics or anything.
