Yeah I am looking at how to import them myself. I was trying the following just to even get the categories into the database but it does nothing:
$this->field_map[] = array(
'from_tablename' => 'categories',
'from_fieldname' => 'id_cat',
'to_type' => 'category',
'to_fieldname' => '_bbp_forum_type'
);
Not that the forum I am importing has a lot of categories but it would be nice if we could import these as well.
Open up your WordPress users admin eg. http://www.whichinvestmenttrust.com/wp-admin/users.php
I presume this is because your existing WordPress users before you installed bbPress do not have a ‘forum role’, set these users as ‘Participants’ and I think you will be good to go.
There is some more detailed role info here:
https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/
Gosh this is so frustrating.
When I click on ‘WangGuard Users’ it states I have 89 verified members. How does WangGuard connect with BBPress?
The 89 definitely includes members who registered on my site before I installed BBPress.
I’ve found a tool to import members it is here….. https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/
But it doesn’t seem to include WordPress members. It is just members of other forums software.
A solution might be to uninstall BBPress and install something that works better but if I uninstall BBPress will it delete my members?
I see others using http://disqus.com Maybe that would work better?
I just set up my first bbpress forum (WP 3.6 and bbPress 2.3.2). I’m using Genesis with the Eleven40 child theme. I also installed the bbPress Genesis Extend plugin.
For what it is worth, this problem does NOT happen using the Twenty Twelve theme. So it is likely related to the Genesis and Eleven40 child theme combo.
The problem I’m having is that the url “mysite/forums,” leads NOT to the forum index, but instead to a strange page that pulls a graphic from my theme and puts the following text on the page:
“Search for: Living With A Urinary Catheter › Forums Forum Topics Posts Freshness General Discussion Introduce yourself and talk about all things catheter related. 2 2 26 minutes ago Ken Theriot Urethral Strictures And Their Treatments Discussions about urethral strictures, their symptoms, treatments, success rates and surgery recovery. 0 0 No Topics”
Here is a link: http://livingwithacatheter.com/forums/
I have set up a page called “Community Forums” on which I have put the index shortcode, and the link to that, which I have in my NAV menu, works great. It leads here:
Community Forums
It would be an issue except that there is a clickable link in the breadcrumbs that leads to the weird /forums page (Living With A Urinary Catheter › Forums › General Discussion) – the “Forums” part of the breadcrumb path.
Is there a way I can at least correct the link destination of “Forums” in the breadcrumbs?
Thanks!
Ken
You can however download 2.4 already.
bbPress 2.4 – Release Candidate 1
Unfortunately bbPress is still in its early active development which means that a lot of wanted features are still being fabricated as we speak.
That may well be the reason, but what is the solution?
surely bbpress needs to send commands to wordpress such that it produces the desired result, i.e. selecting a navigation link in a bbpress widget should navigate to the desired page in bbpress, not jump to some random news page.
If it’s fixed in 2.4 as indicated above, that’s great but that’s not released yet.
Je bedoeld de activiteiten pagina van Buddypress?
In dat geval moet je bbpress ook z’n vertaling nog geven, gezien Buddypress en bbPress compleet aparte vertalings bestanden hebben.
Je kunt hier vinden hoe.
https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/
The reason for this is simple, when wordpress reads “?paged=2” it reads the second page of your posts, not the second page of your topics.
https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started-with-bbpress/
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.
…
You may, for example, have a Category “Open Source Software” with the Forums “bbPress” and “WordPress”.
…
Parent: Forums can have a hierarchical structure. If your forum is a sub-forum of another Forum or is the child of a category, add the Parent here.
Not sure of the actual cause but bbPress 2.4 RC 1 seems to of fixed my problem.
In your bbpress.css file you’ll find something like this:
#bbpress-forums p.bbp-topic-meta img.avatar, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-reply-revision-log img.avatar, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-topic-revision-log img.avatar, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-template-notice img.avatar, #bbpress-forums .widget_display_topics img.avatar, #bbpress-forums .widget_display_replies img.avatar, #bbpress-forums p.bbp-topic-meta img.avatar {
border: 3px double #DDDDDD;
float: none;
margin-bottom: -7px;
}
Add display: inline; to it, and that’ll fix it up for ya.
Hello, I’m building a website with forums at . However, I’m having trouble understanding why it looks the way it does? I thought it would look like you know, an actual forum with the various forums and sub-forums in a “tree-like” format etc. I’m confused as to how to make it look an operate that way instead of the way it is currently with this weird “archive” format. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Btw, I just created the page with the default “forums” slug and I’ve tried the shortcode too with same results – I just have no idea why it looks the way it does.
It just appeared when the plugin was activated and nowhere else. It doesnt seem to affect anything as the ad codes i have added are appearing in the forums and in the correct locations specified.
Edit: I dont know what this notification message means.
I just installed this plugin in wordpress 3.6, when i enabled the plugin i got the following message:
The plugin generated 50 characters of unexpected output during activation. If you notice “headers already sent” messages, problems with syndication feeds or other issues, try deactivating or removing this plugin.
This doesnt seem to have had any effect on the plugin though as it still inserts ads correctly into the forums.
Im in need of this code as well, however when i add it to functions in my wordpress theme folder it crashes my website. I tried adding to bbpress functions as well but same problem. Any advice? :/
The SimplePress converter is already included in bbPress and is the latest version available, you should not need to download and upload it to your server.
The settings are critical to getting the importer working correctly, sadly at this stage there is very little error messages displayed if you get any of these settings wrong and this is the most common issue with importing.
Ensure your settings are correct for the fields noted in the docs here:
https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/#configuring-the-importer
You may have to check with your webhost to ensure you are using the correct values.
Ive had a search through the forums here and cant find an answer to my question, i have just installed bbpress and it integrates perfectly into my current wordpress installation. I notice whenever a post is made in bbpress the authors ip address is logged and is visible to the administrator. I would like to disable this and set it so that no ip addresses are stored at all.
From what i can tell the ip’s seem to be stored in the following db field:
wp_postmeta/meta_value
I have a function i found online for wordpress which prevents the ip from being logged:
add_filter('pre_comment_user_ip', 'no_ips');
function no_ips($comment_author_ip){
return '';
}
Can the above be converted for use with bbpress?
Any advice would be appreciated 🙂
Any examples as to where? It’s most likely a problem of it being hardcoded somewhere or the polish file not being 100% completely translated.
bbpress != wordpress
If your a programmer, you should read up on the codex, if not I do not recommend to do this yourself. I would recommend rehiring the designer/programmer (if he has the necessary knowledge).
I changed things and removed the page with the short code and just linked to a higher catagory called “forum”
It still shows the sub forums on seperate pages and with the (0,0) on the main page
I would really like the forum to look similar to a phpbb style forum

Hello,
I am having issues getting the BBpress forum to display in any sensible manner
At one point i made a category and used it as a page, this at least looked reasonable but didn’t allow for sections to be created. I am currently using the shortcode “[bbp-forum-index]” and now the catagoriess seems to show the sub forums. but they are all bunched together with a (0,0) next to each of them
Is there a way to split this up or create a proper forum layout?
my forum page: http://watracing.com/?page_id=132
I am new to BBpress
I get this issue because the BBP Threaded Replies plugin automatically de-activates the Fancy Editor.
bbPress Threaded Replies is incompatible with the Fancy Editor; enabling threading will automatically disable the Fancy Editor.
I’m not sure why they did that, but I was able to get around it by adding remove_filter('bbp_use_wp_editor', '__return_false'); to my theme’s functions.php file.
I just put this filter inside bbpress-functions.php, but it seems not to be executing the function… could you please help me? I’m stuck…
add_filter('bbp_plugin_dir_url', '_bbp_plugin_dir_url');
function _bbp_plugin_dir_url($plugin_dir_url) {
return str_replace("/home/content/12345/html/content/plugins", "", $plugin_dir_url);
}
Thank you!
I am currently using Simple:press and want to convert to bbPress. I have both installed on my WP, and I downloaded simplepress.php and uploaded it onto my server in the file/directory suggested from this site (wpcontent/etc)
I followed these instructions: http://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/
And when I hit “start’, I get this:
“Repair any missing information: Continue
Conversion Complete
No replies to convert
No tags to convert
No topics to convert
No forum parents to convert
No forums to convert
No passwords to clear
No users to convert
Starting Conversion”
(Obviously in reverse order).
WHat am I doing wrong? I have the updated versions of both forums and of WP (3.6).

How can you change the background of posts and the table containing the forum titles? The background of my core wordpress site is okay (I have Responsive theme installed), but the forum area should have a different color, especially the posts. Where can I find the apporpiate code sctions for this in the CSS?
