Is this the full solutions already?
Yes
Or the known issues are still there at https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/mingle/ ?
This is up to date, anything listed here are the ‘workarounds’ you will need to do manually.
1) Which folder to put this file Mingle.php ?
Download `Mingle.php` using this link and upload the file with FTP to `/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/converters`
2) Just quickly have a look at my phpMyAdmin http://visionopen.com/questions/phpMyAdmin.png, is there any potential issue(s) for me to proceed with this Mingle.php?
Everything looks good here, on the import screen where it asks for table prefix use `wp_`
Remember to backup your web site pages and database first though…

Anyway, can this be more clear for entry-level users like me?

Well I don’t know how or why but as soon as I made that change, the issue went away and nothing else has broken (yet). As soon as I changed the code back to how it was, the issue reappeared. So since I have nothing else to go on, I will take this as a solution.
The code above just removes the redirect to field completely, which can’t possibly work correctly.
Can you create a bug ticket over at trac for this please
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/
Just for clarification, I tried the full “do_shortcode” call just as Ben posted:
`echo do_shortcode(‘[bbp-topic-form]‘);`
which had no effect.
I am having this same issue; I created a “partner” page for /forums/ and put in the `bbp-topic-index` as well as the `bbp-topic-form`, but only admin users can use the create new topic form.
I tried creating a custom template for this page like Ben tried, but the “echo shortchode” call does nothing.
We need users a way to add new topics quickly and easily, without having to drill down to the one and only forum.
Today when i tested my websites for flaws i saw that the visual editor box text color had changed into white instead of black. This made the text invisible unless you highlighted the written text.
When i did some research on how to change it i saw that this problem goes back years.
Most forum threads didn’t even got solved.
I have found a simple solution for this problem.
When i checked my source code i saw that the visual editor .css was located in public-html/wp-includes/css/editor.min.css
Call it a lucky guess but when i searched for ‘white’ it got me to this part of the code:
wp-editor-area{color:black}
I changed it into wp-editor-area{color:white} and this solved my problem.
I hope this helps allot of frustrated people!.
I found he solution for the white text in visual editor problem when using BBpress.
Go to your ftp and open public-html/wp-includes/css/editor.min.css ( I found it viewing my site’s source code)
You will see a whole bunch of code making it almost impossible to find the right part to change.
Call it a lucky guess but when i searched the word ‘white’ i only found 1 code:
-wp-editor-area{color:white}
I changed it into black and this solved the white text problem!
so just search for wp-editor-area{color:white} and change it into:
-wp-editor-area{color:black}

I want to add an extra field to the bbPress registration form but add it to the [bbp-login] shortcode so I don’t have to do a completely custom form (which I could do but seems more of a pain). Any thoughts?
What do you want to know?
There is no need to reverse engineer anything, just grab the latest copy of Example.php either from /bbpress/includes/admin/converters/ or the latest updated version I am working on here and start modifying the table mappings as per the docs in the codex.
https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/ & https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/custom-import/
Just installed this forum and am very disappointed. I installed mingle forum as well and out of the box it is fantastic. But do not like the fact that the theme does not integrate with the site theme. This integrates with the theme but thats all it does. I have spend hours trying to get the sidebar to work and finally found a plugin called WP tweaks. Okay side bar works, but then no topis are visible and no menu items are visible to allow me to post a reply or create a topic.
Everywhere i look, I see folks telling that you have to change the code in one file or the other. Really? Come on folks before you deploy a piece of software at least make sure it works and has the basic functions before marketing it as easy to use and a 10 minute install.
I am a big Joomla fan and atleast Joomla plugins work and we do not have to change every php or html file. I like WordPress a lot, but a lot of the plugins are badly coded like this one.
Am removing this forum and will give it a 1 star for too many problems right out of the box. I need to hire programmers just to get the basics working.
No where in the documentation it talks about the sidebar issue and these other problems. But I can see why this would be a programmers dream. It is job secuerity for them so they can spend hours on making the basics work. Switching to Mingle.
Unfortunate.

Yes, bbPress includes an importer to convert your Invision (IPB) forums and users to bbPress.
https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/
I recently setup the bbpress plugin on my site – finally transitioning from the standalone code.
I have a dev site where I prepared everything and it all works perfectly.
When I transitioned everything to my live site it all looks ok – but neither myself, or my users, can post replies or new topics.
My site is here: http://prothemedesign.com/forums/
Since it all works on the dev server (which is a sub domain running from the same server) then everything should match up and work just fine.
I saw some discusses about the usage of Latex in bbpress. I guess maybe the easiest way to enable Latex in bbpress is to use Mathjax.
Put the following script code into the block of the header.php in the theme. This will load the latest version of MathJax from the distributed server, and configure it to recognize mathematics in both TeX and MathML notation. For details, refer to http://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/start.html#mathjax-cdn and http://www.ouruniv.com/topic.php?id=4
script
type=”text/javascript”
src=”http://cdn.mathjax.org/mathjax/latest/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS-MML_HTMLorMML”>
script
The above script is not the exactly one. The shape bracket is omitted since the code won’t be displayed with it. You could copy the right one at http://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/start.html#mathjax-cdn

I do not why the script above is not displayed.
Thank you so much for responding, Shane. I couldn’t get this to work but as I was searching for further explanation, I found another fix. I added this code to the functions.php
add_filter( ‘bbp_get_single_forum_description’, ‘ja_return_blank’ );
add_filter( ‘bbp_get_single_topic_description’, ‘ja_return_blank’ );
function ja_return_blank() {
return ”;
}
for anyone else who may have this problem. Thank you for setting me in the right direction!
Just realised, the reason that you see the ’ in the URL is JUST THIS FORUM. It’s obviously stripping the second apostrophe JUST IN THIS FORUM.
Ignore that, it’s in 2 single quotes in my error log, it’s just because I’ve not posted it as code here.
I’ll try again here, see if it includes the second single quote.

The URL displays fine in the error log, hopefully it will here now too.
I can’t see what the cause is straight up so could you paste the entire code in a gist at @GitHub please, also a dump of the relevant DNN database schema would be helpful.

(We will also add this DNN converter to bbPress for others wishing to convert from DNN)
It appears that I have this same issue (only the admin and guests can see the forums). I tried adding this code to the functions.php file, but it doesn’t seem to fix it. I also noticed that I can create a new page and put the forum shortcode in it, and it the main forum page shows up for all users (which is what I need), but once I click on any of the forum links, it gives me a 404.
Any ideas, or maybe options I should change, or caches and whatnot that I should clear?
Can someone help me ?
I tried to add a shortcode to my page but it does nothing…
Thanks
Hello everyone, first of all thanks for the great plugin, i´m building a new project community and one important part is the forum… I compared the options and the bbpress integrates perfect with the site and has a very clean code… but there a few features that I need…
One would be the “range” image for the users… like badges or something personalized
Another option could be a “award” image for the user implication on the community
I have been looking for a long time and no way to show those things on my bbpress forum….
can anyone bring me some light?
I haven’t had any problems on smartphones,… yet … iPhone/Android; they all work fine.
I’m sure there are other platforms (Windows,BlackBerry) but I do not know anyone who has either to test.
What problems do you run into?
I’d be very interested in your feedback on where it goes wrong/misbehaves (so I can adapt my website as well).
– Does tinyMCE misbehave?
– Or simply not work (lack of JavaScript)?
It might be difficult to determine if a visitor uses a phone or a regular computer, specially since the gap between the two is getting more narrow by the day.
Some examples are discussed here: Stackoverflow.
There is an example of browser sniffing (not my favorite) and some other techniques.
However … they all rely on JavaScript (which would be too late for doing something in PHP).
I did find some PHP code that could do the trick here: php-mobile-detect.
I have not tested it though.
If a cellphone is detected call (untested):
bbp_the_content( array( ‘context’ => ‘reply’, ‘tinymce’ => false ) );
Hello all!
I´m having some similar issue. I´m here reading and reading but nothing help me.
I did all what Shmoo say here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/page-php-as-template/
My problem is this: I had upload to my root theme this file from Extras: page-front-forums.php, and now I can see well the forum, but when I click on any link in forum WP load a home-template.php.
I would like to know what code I need to use and which files.
In the template root I use 2: bbpress.php and page-front-forums.php but I don´t know exactly which bbpress code I need to use..
Can any help me please? I don´t know if you are able to undestand me, my english, as you can see, is so bad.
Thanks in advance!
