Does the importer handle the custom profile fields in phpbb3, sepcifically the functionality in version 3.10+? Phpbb3 now allows admins to create new custom profile fields, beyond the ones listed as imported kept in phpbb3_users. There are at least 4 related tables, starting with <phpbb3_profile_fields…>.
Is it correct to think these custom profile fields should go into BuddyPress xprofile fields, or should they go into wp_meta (?) during bbpress import? If you happen to know, is there a way to import phpbb3 custom profile fields into BuddyPress if that is the appropriate target?
Thanks, Mike
Topic: phpBB Import Error(s)
Hi,
After reading the importer
I’ve recently migrated my phpBB forum to bbPress, but I have noted a few issues with the import/repair process. Does anybody have any suggestions as to what’s going wrong with any/all of these:Forum import – The documentation states that stickies will not be imported, however I after doing the import I have around 20 ‘super-stickies’ which, looking at the old forum, are a mixture of announcements and stickies. I’d rather these weren’t converted to anything, and as far as I’m aware they shouldn’t be (https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2126)
User import – During the import, I (the main WordPress admin user) seem to have had quite a lot of forums, topics and replies linked to my user. I wasn’t a user on the previous phpBB forum at all so I’m not sure why I’ve adopted these posts. Or any posts for that matter.
Repair tools – All the repair tasks seem to work ok, except for two:
– Recalculate the position of each reply
– Remap existing users to default forum roles
These two tasks end up white-screening with no status messages at all.User Login Conversion – User logins are converted correctly when using the standard wordpress login screen but now when using my custom frontend ajax login – does anyone know if there’s a way to get that to work? A seperate topic has been started about that here: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/user-login-authentication-migrated-phpbb-users/
Any advice on any of these steps would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!Topic: Hi
I’ve been using wordpress for about 6 months now and I’m using the “luminescent lite” theme. I now decided it was time to move my old phpbb board over to bbpress and I’m struggling a bit with the design. So:
1 – The theme is universal, so not much chance to change much without hard coding or a new theme
2 – I use categories and forums and it’s messy. I get:
Category
Forum nº 1 (14,54) Forum nº 2 /1,445 4,754)Can I add a paragraph for each forum or even not show the forums at all (they would open on a click on the category).
3 – No “unread topics” display (icon/different colour)
Not all is bad. I’m using buddypress and I’m loving it. BBpress ported quite well from phpbb3 and I lost no data at all (except PM’s). Even BBcode is looking good. My users are giving me a hard time, but they are just idiots anyway… lol
Topic: Theme: bbpress vc wordpress
Hi,
I’ve been running wordpress for a few months and I now was confident enough to move my phpbb to bbpress. All went very smooth.
Problem is, the theme I use (and that I like a lot) is not very bbpress friendly.I don’t suppose I can change the bbpress part too much without some hard coding, so any suggestion would be useful (probably change the theme altogether?). Any theme suggested?
My site is http://www.smartistas.com and the theme is luminescente lite.
Thanks
Hi,
I’ve recently migrated a large forum from phpBB to bbPress using the import tool (which has gone extremely smoothly – so thanks to all who have worked on the importer tools!)
Users have been imported successfully, and I can login via wp-admin with the password that was used on the previous phpBB forum… All of that is glorious! 😀On our site however, I’ve created an ajax login so visitors never have to get in via /wp-admin
The issue I’m having is that whatever code is used to check a users old password and convert it to a WordPress encoded password is not being run when I attempt to log a user in viawp_signon()
.Is there a filter or something I can run to ensure that bbPress runs the password conversion when a user logs in via my ajax login prompt?

Hi guys,
I have a problem with my freshness, some of the forums are set correctly but some are not.
someone has an idea what it can be ? something like an ID problem or something.i used the “Recalculate last activity in each topic and forum” repair tool but that didnt help alot.
my forum is build up like:
Forum/Subforum/Topic
the point where the freshness goes wrong is from Subforum to Forum.
i hope anyone can help
Kind regards,
Niek
