For some reason, I can not get rid of those damn bullets.
http://www.oostuudio.ee/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/65-bbpres_fkn_bullets.jpg
(I added red marks so you can see the problematic dots/bullets)

I am using bbPress 2.3.2 (installed as plugin via WP admin)

I wasted hours with FF and Chrome dev tool but did not get anywhere.

I am no css master but I was expecting this to fix the problem:

#bbpress-forums ul {
list-style: none outside none;
}
#bbpress-forums li {
list-style: none outside none;
}

I was wrong. It has no effect at all.

So, I need your help to fix this because I can not launch a forum, looking like this: http://www.oostuudio.ee/foorum/f/poletamine/

Thank you

bbConverter is out of date and no longer updated.

bbPress includes a phpBB importer and details on how to use it and any phpBB import issues can be found in these links:

I have myBB importer ~75% complete, hopefully I’ll get it uploaded to bbPress later today.
(Categories, Forums, Topics, Replies & Users working 100% with outstanding issues being some BBCode conversions and user passwords)

Running bang up-to-date WP Multisite, Buddyperss, BBPress.

No preview available, site still under maintenance.

I need to remove group forum posts from showing up within the forum index.

Seems quite strange that you can set up private groups with their own forums, but all their forum post activity shows up for all to read on the [bbp-topic-index] page? Not so private?

Am I missing something that is staring me in the face or is this seriously just how it works? If the latter is the case, I’d be very grateful if anyone could please assist with a workaround of some description.

I’d like to eliminate all group posts from showing on the forum index page listing if possible please.

Regards….

[dasped]

Good day,

I seem to be having an issue with page titles not showing up.

Build all current and latest. WP Multisite – Buddypress – BBPress.

To be clear, this page’s title is <h3 id="post - ***">Troubleshooting</h3>

This is what I’m missing, any reason this should occur please, or something I’m missing.

Thanks.

@pinkishhue I hadn’t thought of that, thank-you! Going to give it a quick go now.

Is there a converter from myBB to phpBB? You may be able to convert it to phpBB and then convert that to bbpress

(I’m quite new to bbpress so apologies if this is the wrong answer, this is just what I have seen recommended in similar circumstances)

[joedawson]

And there has been plans to add it prior to my thread, any updates on this? https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/importing-data-from-other-forums/

[joedawson]

Hello,

I’ve been doing some searches for a plugin to import all data from myBB to bbPress. I now know that the bbPress core itself can import other forum platforms but not myBB?

Is there a third party plugin that someone knows of that can help me or of this is possible already with bbPress and I’ve overlooked it somewhere?

Many Thanks
– Joe

WordPress 3.6
bbPress 2.3.2

I have bbPress and BuddyPress setup on a multisite network with sitewide and group forums. Is it possible to integrate the group forum with a multisite site?

ie.-
XYZ BuddyPress Group = http://mainsite.com/groups/xyz/forum
XYZ Blog = http://xyz.mainsite.com

Can the group forums integrate to the site? So if a post is made on the site it will show back on the group page or if on the group page it will go back to the site?

If that is not possible, is it possible to at least display the group forum data on the subsite with a shortcode or something?

Thanks for any help!

Did you follow these directions?

You don’t need to use the blog of WP. Just use the bbpress plugin. The current BBPress version is not standalone.

[Ipanema]

Thank you Kannued. I’m going to try that.

I accidentally deleted my question which was:

Hi,

I just intalled bbPress, but there is a new line now on top of the website. It’s like it increased the top margin of the Website. Does anybody know how to fix this? Thank you!

[amitlin96]

I do want a user system, just not that of a blog, i need that of a forum.

I just dont want a blog, im not going to use it, and also, arnt there anti spam plugins for bbpress alone?

[kannued]

Follow this directions

[kannued]

Using wordpress is not overkill. Think of wordpress as an overall operating system where you have registration and login abilities, different roles for different users, spam filters like Wangguard. Then you use bbpress as a plugin for your forum.

How can you not want the user system if you have a forum?

WP is not overkill.

[amitlin96]

Hi there!

I’m in a bit of a dilemma, here are my circumstances:

1. I want to use bbPress, but as a forum alone – My website is going to be a static homepage and a forum, no more and no less, and i would really hate to use a wordpress to accomplish such a simple task, it would really be an overkill, im not going to use ANY forum of cms, so id really hate to install wordpress ONLY so i can use bbPress, is there any way to get bbPress as a forum alone, not as a plugin?

2. In the homepage, i want there to be two boxes:
Box1 – shows the latest topic from a certain forum(the announcement forum), including the title, and content, number of comments and user that posted it.

Box2 – shows a featured topic. I know there is a plugin for this, im just curios if i could use functions from bbPress, outside of bbPress, as in, in the homepage page, which is not a wordpress page.

So these are my circumstances. What do you think? should i install wordpress JUST so i could use the forum(if so, is there any way to really trim it down? i dont need the users system, comments, pages, posts, etc. Almost everything revolves around the forum)? If not, what are the alternatives?

bbPress is a really great software, and would really want to use it 🙂

Now I have installed the bbPress successfully.But I want to use it as a bbs.Because it base on the WordPress,I want to custom the style of it, so that it looks like a bbs,or it is a blog.

[liminjun88]

Good News.

Hello, I’m using WP version 3.5.1 and bbpress version 2.3.2. My site is http://www.timemasteryblueprint.com, but you can’t see the forum page because it is a paid only membership site. The forum is part of a paid membership site. There is no way for members, once they enter the forum to get back to the main paid content area. The breadcrumbs only lead back to the home page, which is an optin page with no membership access tab. I would like to get rid of the existing breadcrumbs and provide a link back to the main paid content area (or perhaps I can substitute the existing breadcrumbs for a link back to the member content area?)
Is there a way to do this?

Thanks for any help you can give me!

Hey there!

I used PHPbb3 the last 4 years now. The Foums is grown.
But now I created a new Website with WordPress and want something what is
integrated in there. I found bbPress and bbConverter. I installed both in my
WordPress but I cant run the bbConverter. Is there anyone who could give me some Detail
Information?

Thanks.

[cappazushi]

I’ve done all of the steps required for editing bbPress’ look, but one feature that seems odd to me is that the editor can’t bring up the CSS Stylesheet; that needs to be edited from CPanel. I moved the CSS folder to my theme’s root but it can’t read it directly, I guess. This is odd because it ca. Read the PHP files in the bbpress folder. Anyway, is there a more intuitive way to edit the Stylesheet?

[Thank you]

Hi,i just installed BBpress on to my under construction site.I have WordPress 3.6 and i am using twenty thirteen theme.

whenever a new user signup for the forum,he recieve an email addressed from wordpress@my domain address.

Is it possible to change the name from wordpress to my domain name.

Thanks.

[wpobs]

Hi guys, im using the latest WP 3.6 + bbPress 2.3.2 + buddypress 1.8

All works fine until you try to either Edit a forum of an existing group (front end) or when creating a new group and then at step 3 adding a forum to this group, when then the page get broken.

The page will remain visible but the header and footer will disappear.

see image below:

I have disabled ALL plugins as well as switched theme to the WordPress / buddypress default one but still the issue remains.

Page end Source code finished without closing this are the last lines:

<form action="http://[domainname]/group1/admin/extras" name="group-settings-form" id="group-settings-form" class="standard-form" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" role="main">

Inspect Elements reports error:
Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method ‘sortable’

This was also report on the Buddypress forum:
http://buddypress.org/support/topic/admin-bar-and-footer-broken/

Please help.
