@jjj said : “Hopefully in bbPress 2.4 or 2.5, I’d like to move the last-active-time meta queries to use post_modified in the posts table. That will remove some of our dependency on JOINing tables, and speed things up for you pretty significantly (at the cost of bastardizing the core post schema and its intentions a bit.)”
I would be hugely in favor of this change, as it would have really tangible performance benefits. I understand what you are saying about misinterpreting the schema, but I think you can make a compelling argument that a reply being added to a topic is tantamount to that topic being modified for the purposes of discussion. If that eases your conscience at all…
While you’re at it, it would also be worth considering saving the topic reply count in the ‘comment_count’ field, since they are functionally the same thing.

Genesis 2 does not fully support bbPress. A fix is needed either in Genesis core itself or the compat plugin, but is not yet in place.
If you run bbPress do not upgrade to Genesis 2.0. Keep an eye out on that plugin for a future update to hopefully address the issue.

I have this same problem and can’t find a solution anywhere. I can add a topic but when I click the topic there is no option to reply. Here is my site: http://hbsu2.org/forums/forum/hbsu2-leader-forum/
Currently set to anyone can post so that hopefully someone can help me out here!

I have a phpBB (3.0.11) forum since many years. After a good clean up, I am down at these stats
1 200 members
18 000 subjects
52 000 answers
My urls looks like this
http://www.mysite.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=27944
In Google i get 280 000 results if I type this
“mysite.com/forum/viewtopic.php”
I am feeling this forum software (thanks for all these nice years!) gets behind the actual social life these years so I am looking to change for another forum (hopefully with Facebook login!)
What will happen if I decide to switch to installing bbPress into my actual WordPress ? I have read the codex, but doest my urls and so my results in google would all be lost (as I can’t see how a rewrite redirect url could work here anyway) ?
Hi!
I want to know is the plugin compatible with the 3.6 wordpress ver.
Because i have many problems…
Any update for 2.3.X? Thanks!
Hello all. So I am having layout issues with my forums under the “sophomore english” and “the human condition” menu items. (http://www.blackboarddreams.com) I thought that accessing the repair option under bbpress main settings may help, yet everytime I try accessing the repair option I get this message: “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”
Thoughts? Thank you.
Yeah there is something up with Apache. Reverted to the old script and I am getting the same thing happening:
View post on imgur.com
I’ll have a look and see what is causing it because it wasn’t happening yesterday.
Now having an issue where Apache on Windows 7 appears to crash and the conversion process stops when processing the replies with latest script. I’ll need to get a SS of the dialogs that appear which I will attach when I get the chance. It stops/crashes at around 1370 replies. Funny thing is apache and all the other services such as mysql etc. are still running.
Also noticed that we still seem to have the issue where the count is out by the same amount we set to process i.e. it says we are processing 100 – 200 rows when in fact we are processing 200 – 300. This goes for both topics and replies.
Going to run the previous script to see if this causes the same issue.

Hello,
I am a newbie in WP and bbP.
I want to give to the user of my site the possibility to include a reference (a link, a quote or something else) of a post or page in a new created topic in bbPress.
There is a plugin “bbPress Topics for Posts” : it include a topic for all posts or pages. That is not what I want. I want the possibility of the following scenario :
– the user create a new post in bbPress
– after or before the text of the topic it should have the possibility to insert a reference to a post or page.
I find nothings that could help me. Do you have any idea to do that ?
Thanks
AP
Good stuff. Will give it a test out. Thanks.
Neil.
Latest Attachment PunBB.php
Fixed:
- Topics
- Replies
- User Nice Name ‘user_nicename’ & Display Name ‘user_displayname’ import fields
- User PunBB MSN
Outstanding:
- Forum/Category? hierarchy (currently parent forums/categories are imported ‘flat’)
- User Passwords
- – Custom BBCode for Topic & Reply Content
NOTE: If you are importing ‘users’ during the import you will see multiple instances of the following error message:-
– Notice: Undefined variable: user_pass in /home/webhost/public_html/wp-includes/user.php on line 1305
This can be ignored and only relates to the current non-working state of converting user passwords. If you need to login (or users login) they will just need to reset their WordPress password to be able to login.
@capacitron Thanks a bunch for testing it out, glad it worked.
bbPress & BuddyPress use the same WordPress user table so everything should be common across both plugins and WordPress itself.
That said, any extra profile data I can get from the source forum, in this case MyBB we are storing the extra data in the WordPress ‘usermeta’ table so this data can be manipulated/imported/whatever at a later time.
With MyBB I only see 3 extra user profile fields to store (ICQ, MSN & Signature), the rest WordPress includes by default (AIM, Yahoo etc) .
Looking at the current version of MyBB.php importer at Line #474 you will see the three entries I have (summarized below):
- // Store ICQ (Stored in usermeta)
‘to_fieldname’ => ‘_bbp_mybb_user_icq’
- // Store MSN (Stored in usermeta)
‘to_fieldname’ => ‘_bbp_mybb_user_msn’
- // Store Signature (Stored in usermeta)
‘to_fieldname’ => ‘_bbp_mybb_user_sig’,
Thus under each imported user in the wp_usermeta table under each user id the above data will also be stored…. So for example if you wanted to install a bbPress/BuddyPress signature plugin to extend either of these plugins you could then copy the data from this stored field to the field that the plugin uses f or storing user signature data. As any of this can be done in numerous ways by plugin authors each site admin will need to decide what plugin to use and how to shift around any relevant data.

@ricov4 Thanks, to help out if you can download the importer and setup a test environment to see how well it works that would be great.
@koawinter I have not tried SMF 1.1.16 and only downloaded the latest version of SMF. Are you able to update your SMF to v2.0.4? You could also try the importer and see if it does or does not work and we can go from there.
@NeilJ Thanks a bunch for testing it out… The previous versions of the counts would have been off as the original reply query was adding the original topic as its own reply, I have now fixed this and from my testing the counts are now correct for topics and replies.
As far as I can tell it is now only the user passwords and some custom regex strings to fix some converted BBCode and ‘Smilies’ and we will have a perfect SMF importer 🙂
I have updated the SMF Importer and you can download the latest again via the same links in my original post above.

When I insert links into a reply for a topic via the the link option or by inputting html directly, it never shows up in the reply. In fact if my reply consists only of a link and no text apart from it, ll i get is an empty\blank reply to the topic. I’ve tried this with different user roles too, since i suspected the ability to post unrestricted html might’ve been the problem, but no such luck. I’m relatively new to wordpress, so i apologise if this has an obvious fix or an apparent reason.
Wordpress 3.6
BBpress 2.3.2
Nice! Just finished using your importer on a test site. Everything went great, no problems. I’m almost sad I didn’t have an error. How can I help you more?
The feature I’m dying for is to import MyBB user profile data into BuddyPress profiles. Any plans for that feature?
If not, do you have any suggestions for me?
For your private messaging problem, have you considered Pippins bbPress Private Replies Extension
I get this error on the main forum page where all the topics are listed:
Warning: in_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, null given in /home/public_html/wp-content/themes/genesis/lib/functions/general.php on line 293
It started after I upgraded to Genesis 2.0. I have no other plugins installed so it must be a genesis2.0-bbpress compatibility problem.
Is anyone else experiencing this?

So right now the entire forum is using the standard page template (Default Template). Here is an example of the template.
But I would like bbpress to use the Full-Width Template as used here.
Is there a way to change the page-template used by bbpress?
Kind regards,
Luc
Hey
I have installed bbpress on my website and it’s pretty easy to use it but I just have a question about adding sub categories.
I have create a category for example How to and a forum as a parent in this category for example phones but i just want the users now to see all the sub categories from the forum home page but when they click on How to they will see all the sub categories so can that be done?
BTW, idk if this is repeated or not but I searched and found some old topics like from 3 years but nothing new
Thanks!
