I am looking for the most up to date version you have. I want to replace a forum I have which runs phpBB. But keep all the posts,threads,logins and mail function.

I would replace your anti spam plugin with my own.

[Andre]

WordPress is required for the plugin (2.0) version. 2.0 is in Release Candidate now and should be released soon. 2.0 is compatible with the anti-spam plugin Akismet.

This site currently uses bbPress 1.x, but will be converted to 2.x. bbPress 1.x does not require the use of WordPress since it is not a plugin.

Which are you interested in?

[DerpDiddy]

well, i can see you have issues with spambots here on the official site. which is a turn off.

I am interested in a NON beta release. Whatever is most applicable

[Andre]

Which version of bbPress are you interested in, the standalone (version 1.03) or WordPress plugin (version 2.0)?

[DerpDiddy]

Is this possible? I never read thru the faq’s but i saw a site using your software and I love it. Is this possible? I never edited any of the raw php code in php, but changed the template a bit so the banner points to /. can this be easily done? I do have one custom theme….would that need to go? please direct me to the FAQ on this procedure

A converter for phpbb3 is in progress. Here’s a link to the ticket for it. https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1547

[agriz]

Hi,

I want to convert my phpbb3 to bbpress. I am getting lot of spamming there. Is there any conversion?

I have about 1000 members there. I want to keep that members and posts without any loss.

Thanks

I’ve been researching for hours, trying to find a way to import bbpress standalone to bbpress 2.0 in wordpress. First I imported posts from phpBB to bbPress standalone, looks like it worked, then I installed the WP plugin.

I came across this topic but it was closed so I can’t post a question there:

bbPress Standalone to Plugin Converter Beta 2

In the last post you said:

Closing this topic, as the importer is now bundled with bbPress 2.0

I can’t seem to find an importer there anywhere, I checked the Settings under the Settings > Forums menu, and all I can see are the main forum settings. Checked the Readme file with the plugin, there’s no mention of it.

Can you tell me where to find the Importer? I need to get this huge site up and running by 7/1 and I don’t want to use the Standalone version because that means 2 admin pages.

Thanks!!!

Hi Good day!

I was able to switch from PHPBB3 to A BBpress site seamlessly using a converter. Now I would like to switch from a BBpress site to a WordPress Site with the BBpress Plugin. I have lots of topics in my forums and so far, I would like to give my members the ability to post ala-Wordpress (with pictures and all). Is this possible?

Thank you!

I use phpBB at the moment. It used to be pretty bad but version 3 is acceptable.

The 3 things I hate about phpBB are:

1) Lack of SEO URLs/ pretty URLs/ custom permalinks structures

2) There are no plugins. There are MODs – meaning installation is a pain in the back and code is changed. Forget about updations completely – it is excruciating. Contrasts with the rather pleasant one-click installs and upgrades that WordPress has made me accustomed to.

3) Lack of multilingual capability. WordPress has WPML…though I am getting increasingly disillusioned with it (critical features missing, basic things like Canadian flag, Slovak language etc missing, not using international conventions in naming, arrogant and unhelpful support etc). I run a multilingual site and need multilingual forums. If that’s not possible, then to begin with I need a Google Translate gadget so that people can read in multiple languages at least.

It’s not just the lack of these features that cheeses me off…it’s the unwillingness of the developer community to consider these for 3.1/3.2

And there is a major rewrite underway v4. I believe v4 will be the wipeout of phpBB…they are writing from the ground up, which is never a great idea (http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000069.html)

So excellent opportunity for bbPress.

I would switch as soon as I see the aforementioned 3 in bbPress…

I wish I had a good answer for you, but I don’t know.

It really depends on what you are trying to accomplish with your website. If you are already running wordpress and eventually want to have everything linked together between forums, blog posts, users etc, then bbPress is definitely the way to go.

If your primary focus of the website is forums only then I ‘may’ suggest vbulletin. I have no experience with phpbb, but have run very large vb forums for years now.

As to whether or not it is worth the money, well that’s different for everyone. I personally am going to transfer my larger forums over to bbPress as I much prefer the wordpress environment to vb.

At the moment vb can do a lot more out of the box than just about any other forum software, but I believe that bbPress is going to close this gap very quickly. Vbulletin is really bloated with a ton of features that really are not needed but some people just seem to like all the extra junk.

It really is a personal call. I can say though bbPress is progressing very nicely. It is a very solid foundation that can easily be built upon.

I am creating a forum for high end audio enthusiasts. There will be a bunch of different areas just like any other normal forum.

Are all of these options good options – vBulletin, bbpress, phpbb ??

Would one be better than another for some specific reason / reasons?

I just want to make sure I make the best choice as I’m just starting the forum.

Why do you have to pay for vBulletin? Is it really worth paying for?

Thank you,

[rhender]

Thank you Andre. I really appreciate your time.

So until then, forgive my ignorance, what might be the best way to import the old info manually from the old database?

[Andre]

An importer is being made, but isn’t done yet. You can follow the progress of it here, https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1547.

Which one is better depends on your needs. I plan on switching my phpBB forum to bbPress because I think it better suites my needs.

The bbpress plugin will work with Akismet so spam shouldn’t be a problem.

[rhender]

Can I import old posts and users / passwords from a phpbb board?

I am looking to possibly switch over to using bbpress. Is it better than phpbb?

The phpbb board is having a lot of spam problems that I am working with. Thank you,

Found out it’s got something to do with my earlier conversion from phpbb to bbpress standalone. But it still got me confused:

All the logins work perfectly after the first conversion (phpbb > bbpress 1.0), but after conversion from 1.0 to 2.0 all the logins block. Only accounts newly created in 1.0 get through in 2.0.

In the database there’s a visible difference between logins from phpbb (start with $H$7) and bbpress 1.0 (start with $P$9). Since there is no login error in bbpress 1.0 I don’t think it’s a problem with the phpbb conversion (used this converter recommended somewhere on this forum).

Can someone give me a hint on how to solve this?

Well it’s not so much a matter of censoring, it’s a question of security. Until I had them whitelist a rule in ModSecurity, I couldn’t post a lot of stuff in WordPress either, whether from admin or not. ModSec is treating certain words as SQL language and assuming they are an injection attack attempt. I’ve seen this problem before many times in the past but never realized what it was until this issue and subsequent conversation.

They’ve now whitelisted /topic/, /forum/, and /edit/ and that seems to have fixed this issue. I’m guessing this isn’t really something that can/should be fixed from within bbP itself, but if I’m wrong feel free to do so.

And though I personally believe that bbP is the way to go for my community, my users are used to PHPbb and VBulletin sites and so this already seems “weird” to them. Adding technical issues and using beta software isn’t really helping instill confidence but hey that’s my choice to do. They’re spoiled by forum solutions with all the bells & whistles that I’ve had to add with plugins for things like Private Messaging, showing unread topics, protecting content for members only, signatures, etc. This is of course by design, and though I’m essentially putting back in a lot of the stuff that bbP has intended to leave out, I believe I wouldn’t be happy with the lack of integration of any other forum solution within WP so… bbP it is!

They’ll get used to it, I just hope I don’t lose any because they can’t make the leap. Time will tell, and bbP keeps getting better with time. I hope my posts never suggest a lack of appreciation for this plugin and all the work you’re putting into it!

I ran the upgrade yesterday from the import menu after installing the plugin, and it worked great. I had some issues where topics lost the topic_author field, but I think that may have happened when converting from phpbb to bbpress, not from bbpress1 to bbpress2.

Hello !

After i finally understand what you are doing here…

I checked what i need to do. A little bit confusing for me, my english isn`t that good.

Ok, i setup a new WP (current version with twenty theme) and installed the bbpress 2 beta.

So far so good. Will there be categories in BBpress ? Cause i just need one Forum under one menupoint with different categories with the topics inside.

Currently i can only make different forums wich are seperatet, thant`s a little bit strange cause i have to a menupoint for every forum.

When i click on “forum” at the breadcrump i get this error:

The requested URL /mashup/forums/ was not found on this server.

404, folder not found.

Sure, there is none. Is this just a relict of the older BBPress version where normally i should have this folder ?

First look is nice, this can be great in the future, but its in a very early beta state i guess.

It`s the only forum wich is native in WP and runs directly in the page.

All others like Vbulletin, PHPbb and so can`t be included and iframes are not really nice.

so, BBPress is my hope and the only solution at the horizon.

Thanks for your work.
