You would have to code this up yourself, a good starting point would be taking a look at this:

I did run the repair tools.

Right now my import is going pretty well, 7,554 users, 40 Forums, 3,146 Topics, and 33,912 replies and counting.

[Stephen Edgar]

Cool… After the import you must run the Repair Tools to get everything recounted…

OK, so in my PC it was incredibly slow so I made a test SMF and deleted a ton of users, topics and replies and left about 7000 replies, 600 topics and 800 users, uploaded to a VPS and the conversion was really fast.

As far as I can tell the import went well, seeing the numbers I noticed a few topics/replies missing but I’m not sure if it’s that they were lost or the SMF statistics are wrong.

Anyway I’ll proceed to test with the full database to see how it goes.

Wordpress version: 3.6
bbPress 2.3.2
Site url: http://www.rubycore-ng.com/blog/forum/

I wanted to create a custom bbPress theme, i followed the instructions here:’ Step-by-Step Guide to Creating a Custom bbPress Theme’. Having copied the following assets from the bbpress>template>default folder to my child theme:

1-bbpress folder
2-extras folder
3-js folder
4-bbpress-functions.php

I am still unable to override the styles in the default bbpress.css file.

I would appreciate clues on how to approach this.

Regards.

I figured it out from this topic, https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/resolved-resolved-my-bbpress-how-to-tutorial/ . You have to check “anyone can register” in the general section of settings. Thanks to all!

i am posting this problem again because no one seems to have responded to an earliest try by another poster.
i am running wp locally on mac using the bitNamiStack for wp2.6
i have installed the bbPress plugin v.2.3.2
when i try to create a topic from the front end i get this error message in a pink box:
**ERROR: Are you sure you wanted to do that?**
and the post doesn’t go up.

i read in another post in response to this problem, that i should change the port to 80 instead of 8080. when i try that apache starts and quickly shuts up.

btw, there’s another irritation message when i post as keymaster or admin, in a yellow box:
**Your account has the ability to post unrestricted HTML content.**

wonder how i can get rid of that.
many thanks for your help.

We have bbpress forums installed on our website http://www.hphe.net The forums look great, but when I want to click on a paritulcar user’s profile, the text of the information is overlapping–as if everything is being crammed into the left side of the page. It looks like the screen view needs to expand, but I don’t know how to do that for profile pages.

I am very much in the beginning stages of learning about code…using WordPress so I wouldn’t really have to deal with any code, but I’m seeing that it would be handy in a number of instances. Any help needs to be explained to me in the most basic of terms. :\

Thanks for any help.

Cool… Done… Just download again via the link up there ^^^.

If there are any others hanging about let me know or any other text, paragraph, images etc BBCodes I will add them all in for bbPress 2.5

I have started a new website with forum

In order to get my forum up and running I wil be posting under different alias

Is there a plugin to allow me to do this without signing in with a different email address each time?

[nvsemin]

Sorry guys, cannot help it
I tried mingle forum, easy to setup, but kinda rawish still
I believe that bbpress is better in this regard, but … why this forum
looks so … lamish? Maybe I used to phpBB based forums too much.

Please enlighten me

[kriskl]

there is a way to do it, someone posted few lines of code last year.. and it works. BUT I cannot find it now here on the forums, and I can’t remember how it was done :((

please search bbpress forums

[Stephen Edgar]

The full docs for bbp_list_forums is here https://codex.bbpress.org/bbp_list_forums/

The quick and easy way is via this topic where you can add the code from that gist to your themes functions.php

how to display list of sub-forums on separate lines, instead of big blob?

[kriskl]

Hi,
sorry if this is repeated request, but I think it is a valid and important one,

I think Topic Views (or in other words popularity) is more important in the forum index than number of “voices” since ‘voices” is similar to number of replies

There used to be a plugin for Topic Views.. but it is not working with 2.3 Bppress and I suppose with 2.4 🙁

Maybe someone would try and update this plugin? if it not is scheduled to be added to the core bbpress.

thanks

[Stephen Edgar]

Ahhh, sorry, it is on our ‘to do’ list here: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1958

https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started-with-bbpress/#creating-your-first-forum

Adjust your Forum attributes. These are:
Types: choose whether you are creating a Forum or category.
Forum – can contain topics and be the parent of other forums.
Category – can only contain forums (no topics). Use for organizing your forums.

Hello,

I love bbPress, but the one thing I really need is to split it into “sections.” If you look at http://community.invisionpower.com/, the different “sections” or “clusters” are “Welcome to IPS,” IPS Client Services,” “Community Resources,” etc.

Is there a way to do this in bbPress?

Thank you.

Hi there, my website is http://www.theyouthlink.com and currently I have a login widget that links to the WP profile page. Preferably, I would like to rewrite the code so that it links to the BBpress forums profile page in order to keep everything front end.

Any idea’s on how to do this? My current php code for the login widget is: `

case “profile_link”:
$return_text = str_replace(“{“.$match.”}”, ““. __(‘Profile’, ‘pwLogWi’) .”<//a>”, $return_text);
break;

Your using bbPress v0.9/v1.x you will need to update the site, enable akismet, disable registrations etc.

If you want to keep using bbPress on your site I suggest you upgrade it to the new v2.x

[Stephen Edgar]

Go give bbPress 2.4 RC1 a test run…

bbPress 2.4 – Release Candidate 1

Hmmm… Yep quotes are converted correctly, are you sure you uploaded the latest vBulletin.php file and uploaded to

Is there a mobile theme/plugin that can be used w an integrated WordPress/bbpress installation so that a site can be viewed via smartphone? So that BBpress is usable on a phone?

[Morgensonne]

Hi Xevo,
sorry, but it runs still on localhost.
But it looks just like here in the forum. For example, in the table “Latest Topics”

Please look here.

These small avatars I would like to delete.
I guess it is to be found in the same file of bbPress?

Would be glad for help.
Thank you.

[Xevo]

Seeing how new bbPress 2.0 still is and not the first choice of most, there’s not that much too choose from at the moment.

[Nykess]

That’s what I said I have been using. 🙂 I agree that it’s pretty good, though.

Attachments aside, I would be interested in any signature/quote alternatives to GD bbPress Tools.

Thanks.
