Hello!

I’m using bbPress 2.5.8 with theme Twenty Sixteen (WP 4.4.2). Accidentally I noticed, that when viewing topic on a devices with small screen (less than 414×736) all of the author avatars are sliding to the upper left. Here is a screenshot:

I tried to install bbPress on a fresh WP install and the avatar does not seems to slide, when viewing in small screens. So, I deactivated all the plugins, removed all known theme modifications, css styles, but avatar is still misplaced.

Here is a link to the test topic: http://rugby-forum.ru/wp2/forums/topic/test/ Can you please, take a look and guess what may be wrong here and how to fix this?

Thank you in advance!

I have a somewhat similar problem. I have an English site, but want to run a Dutch forum on it. Hence, changing the site’s general settings is no option for me.
I’ve uploaded Dutch bbpress-nl_NL.mo and bbpress-nl_NL.po files into the folder wp-content/languages/plugins (and there I removed the original en_GB files). I also tried making a wp-content/languages/bbpress folder with the language files, but failed to resolve the problem (which basically is that when Dutch forum participants type in text all of their words get marked with red underlining as if they are not knowing how to write).
I would very much appreciate some help here.
The site is called HenHub, and one of the (test) fora is called Facilitators.
Many thanks in advance!

Also, if the old xenForo site is still live and people are posting to it, can I re-run the import tool to have it grab the latest posts or would I want to start over? I know that I’ll probably want to start over since you’ve added new import functionality, but in the future, would it work to just run the import tool from time to time until I’m ready to shut down the old site?

No

I’d like to add this functionality down the road, we’ve got it partially, partially in that currently if it finished importing forums and only half way through topics then it would resume from the topics it didn’t finish then continue on to to replies.

It literally resumes from where it left off, it never goes back to check if there are new forums, or new topics but in the future that would be a great addition.

[Stephen Edgar]

Yeah, I’m actually thinking it might be best to require the user (me) to manually move the images directory from the old site to the new site. Then, maybe just use the xenForo URL to the image to display it in the post. It “should” be safe since xenForo reduced the images based on admin settings when they were originally uploaded. Just some random thoughts from a guy not looking at import code. 😉

I can add a “generic” that would change [ATTACH=full]872[/ATTACH] to generic URLhttps:/example.com/attachment/872, you could then manually change thehttps:/example.com/attachment/part of that to anything you want for examplehttp://surveyorconnect.com/attachments/` and have that folder on your server serve up the attachments from there?

I’m wondering if https://bbpress.dev4press.com would actually cure some of the bbcode issues automatically.

We actually use a pretty comprehensive BBCode library already during import it converts a huge amount of common BBCode code to native HTML for us, I think you’d find there are only a handful of custom BBCode’s not covered by this library and is why I add them manually.

p.s. I haven’t packaged up a new release with the changes just yet, but you can always get the latest version (with the above updates) from:

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/includes/admin/converters/XenForo.php

At the bottom of that page is a link to download the file in “original format” and that will get you the file, the link is dynamic and changes each revision so that’s why no direct link.

Hello!

We ar running the latest versions of WordPress and bbPress. From the beginning, since bbPress was installed, it’s working incorrectly. When I go to specific forum page, the topics list is not showing. And Opening a topic directly, the topic content is not displayed.
The problem is in our custom created theme, because, when I switch to one of the default WordPress themes, everything is working fine.
I can’t figure out what is wrong with our theme, or how to make it bbPress redy.

The specific forum: http://mglatvia.id.lv/forums/forum/foruma-noteikumi/
The single topic: http://mglatvia.id.lv/forums/topic/demo-testa-topiks/

[Valery Kondakoff]

Pascal, thank you for helping me!

By misaligned I was meant that the avatars are not on the same line as the user name. Your code solves this issue:

img.avatar.avatar-14.photo {
 margin-bottom: 0px !important;
display:inline;
}

There is a side-effect though: the avatar gets underlined if you use ‘display:inline;’. If there is a way to remove the underline? ‘text-decoration: none’ does not seems to work.

Here is a link to the test forum with your code applied: http://rugby-forum.ru/wp3/forums/forum/test-forum/

Thank you!

bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

bbpress and buddypress work fine together.

Hi,

I have wordpress 4.4.4 with bbpress 2.5.8 installed with Buddypress 2.5.2 Everything works fine except on my profile page.

If I go to a user profile and go to the tab forums and subtab topics started, it just shows every single topic that has been made and not just the topic that has been started by that user.
Same goes with ‘replies created’, I get to see every single reply beside the user’s replies.
As with favorites and subscribed, All topics besides the favorites will also all still display.
I basically needs all those tabs to display that user’s created topics and replies exactly like here on bbpress.org.

Is there a some settings I need to set? Could buddypress settings have been causing it? Is there some test I can run to see what is it?

Hello,
Actually after further testing, my code above for some reason hid the Forums, Topics, and Replies menu from people who had access to view them. Here is an updated piece of code that does not have this problem.

Hello, first I’d just like to say that I’ve thoroughly searched this issue, on Google and here on the forum, and have found no conclusive answers to this.

Right now I’m noticing tons of p and br tags in bbPress HTML, and I’m confused as to whether this is stemming from wpautop or is actually part of bbPress template files itself.. to test I’ve literally deactivated wpautop itself (and checked site-wide on other pages to verify it was indeed off) and the tags still remain on bbPress pages.

This is making it extremely hard to custom style bbPress while navigating these tags, as they break the layout in needless ways.

Here’s some examples..

Thanks for reading,

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
I confirm that all topics,replies and forum are stored as custom post types in the wp_posts and wp_postmeta table like any other post.
So you cannot just restore a table to get your data back.

I have never done this before, but I would try to clean the old environment, export and then import (I suppose import will append). Of course in test first.

Pascal.

[Stephen Edgar]

I wrote a reply here yesterday, it’s vanished 🙁

I have an idea what it might be but today has run out of hours, I’ll test this tomorrow and let you know 🙂

[Pascal Casier]

First in test, always !

Hi.

I have created 4 Forums, but only the latest 2 show up on the Forum Index page.
I’ve looked at the settings, but I can’t seem to find anything to change to allow more to show.
The website is still under development, but you can see the page at http://www.computer-repairs-morayfield.com.au/jetski/forums/
All Forums are “Open”.
I’m hoping someone can shed some light on the problem.

Regards
Iain

I think I’m pulling the right info…

MySQL server version: 5.5.42-37.1

On the PhP Back end…

Under “Web Server” it says:
Database client version: libmysql – 5.1.73

On phpMyAdmin it says:
Version information: 4.3.8, latest stable version: 4.6.0

[aaachiaki]

Late to the party on migrating, but I think it’s time. Installed bbPress via plugins on my WordPress instance. I’d played around with it in the past so I cleared all the old data with a board reset. Went to import and put in all the information – created a new MySQL user with full permissions to the database my phpBB forum is on.

Set rows limit to 75 and Delay time to 3 – I have a pretty big forum to move.

Checked all three boxes for Convert Users, Start Over, and Purge – I want a full, clean import.

It gets right to the start of the process and says:
WordPress database error: [Table ‘XXXX_forum.users’ doesn’t exist]
(the XXXX is the name of my database)

And it gives a long string in gray after that of info I don’t quite understand.

Tried deleting the plugin and reinstalling it. I’m on the latest version of WordPress and PhpBB.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance!

[abletec]

Well let’s see if the 3rd time’s a charm. My site is netballscoop.com. I’m running latest version of WordPress & BBPress. This is a sports site, w/content going back to 2007. I’d really like to make it such that only content for the current year is displayed & previous content archived to another site, but I’m having trouble. An export of only 2016 content & reimport does not work correctly (I suspect because the topic & reply numbers are messed up) & the WordPress Bulk Delete plugin simply can’t do this. Anyone got any suggestions? Please? Is this something that no one else wants to do or…?

Hello,

I make a new fourm role called facepainter. When I go into the user and set the fourm role as facepainter it works fine. However when they post somthing it still says member below their name, when it should say facepainter.

I am on the latest wordpress version
I am using Tesseract theme
My website is http://www.monsterbrand.co.uk

Hopefully that is clear enough
Thanks!

[ajay48jang]

i am testing forums but forum list style has shadow. I want to make it simple forum style. how to do it? http://www.wehackyou.com/forums

[klink]

I don’t really know how it would be possible to deactivate necessary plugins and/or switch themes and still make sure the site is still usable to our paid community. It’s not something I can test, as I don’t know how the spammers are getting through in the first place.

[Wendell]

I’m testing with a conversion from xenForo to bbpress as well. I’m using the latest bbpress available to the public, 2.5.8. My xenForo site has about 33,000 topics, 330,000 posts and 6,000 users. Running the bbpress import feature seems to work without a hitch. Then when I go to repair, all functions work great except for the “Recalculate the position of each reply”, as another user here has mentioned. After several seconds, I get a 500 error.

After the import and running the repair items (except for the one that doesn’t work), the forums *seem* to all be intact and working well until you look a bit closer. Many users aren’t associated with their posts — they show 0 posts in bbpress even though they have thousands of posts in xenForo.

I may go ahead and try bbpress 2.6 alpha and see how it goes.

FWIW, I’m running both forums on the same VPS, so the import is relatively quick. It takes a few hours.

[Sziban]

As I checked the converter again, I found that during the test period I changed the default value to “special” in this part below.
// User password verify class (Stored in usermeta for verifying password)
$this->field_map[] = array(
‘to_type’ => ‘user’,
‘to_fieldname’ => ‘_bbp_class’,
‘default’ => ‘special’
);
Is this could cause the error?

[Stephen Edgar]

I’m guessing the sync-all-reply-positions fails because of some incorrect meta for the replies, theres also a few known issues with this tool timing out when used on sites with lots of replies.

The user-role-map repair tool should work fine, no known issues with this one.

What happens if you create a new user, just a new WordPress user, can that user login, create topics and replies etc? What happens if you now remove all the imported users and run this repair tool again, theoretically it would only be running on “native” WordPress users and not any imported users, (i.e. “admin” and “test user” only), does the repair tool still fail?
