I ran into to some server problems and it turned out to be my test site was opening up tons and tons of connections to the server, all php5, and the only way to stop it was to uninstall WordPress not even deactivating bbpress worked…very odd.
I will do some more tests this weekend and and get back to you… I am thinking the convert vb.php maybe did not close connection when it was done? Just a gut feeling plus I know nothing about coding.
Thanks, My theme can now read my bbpress.css file based on the directory structure you advised.
One observation and question though:
I noticed that when i created a blank bbpress.css file in my child theme, it wiped off the default styles created by the parent!! So, do I copy the complete parent bbpress.css file or do I make a child bbpress.css file.
If i am to make a child bbpress.css file, then how do i reference the parent css file, as it is done in wordpress child theme design?
Regards
WordPress should be able to automatically update your .htacess file which it looks like it is based on the last ~11 lines of your post above. Those first ~9 lines though could be the problem as it looks like they are from another WordPress plugin or added by your webhost.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Automatically_updating_.htaccess
If you don’t know what plugin is adding the extra bits to your .htaccess file try disabling all of your plugins except bbPress, go back to your WordPress permalinks settings and update the settings again which forces WordPress to update your .htaccess file and see how that goes.
I ‘think’ from a quick look you should have the bbpress.css file you want to modify in the following location:
http://www.rubycore-ng.com/blog/wp-content/themes/rubycore-Blogger/css/bbpress.css
Give that a go and let me know if that does/doesn’t work 😉
Nice… The last ‘big’ import I did I was only missing ~10 topics or replies in total from ~40,000 imported, though it should be zero missed 😉 … If you find you are getting a high rate of topics or replies not being imported we can take a closer look.
It’s all in the ‘Eye of the beholder’ I presume, and I don’t think its lame at all.
There are loads of free & paid themes out there for WordPress that bbPress will work with out of the box and with some customizations you can do some amazing things with bbPress…
Examples
You would have to code this up yourself, a good starting point would be taking a look at this:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/customising-bbp_list_forums-last-poster-block/
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.
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?
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
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
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?
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

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
