i’ve been able to create the (correctly displaying) test page thanks to a plugin recommended by moderator Robin W. thanks, robin!
Hi,
I run a site: http://rohamjelvenyek.com/, WP 4.4.1, BBPress 2.5.8, BuddyPress 2.4.3, Enfold theme.
The last week 2 strange thing happened:
1.
A user: who was moderator of the site for a long time, has disappeared from users, and all his forums become visible on the site under the name: anonymus.
As admin I did not do anything with this user before this happened, I only made the WP and plugin updates for the site. The user says, he did not deleted his account either.
2.
Yesterday (after 10 day of updating the site) another user who was moderator of the site for a long time, has disappeared, but at this time, his forums become visible under another user (a moderator) ‘s name.
What is very strange for me, that the issue happaned twice, but not the same way and time, and that the other 21 moderators have no problems, are not deleted.
I use a plugin: User Roles and Capabilities, maybe this caused the errors? But I cannot regenerate the issue on a test user, because I dont know, why exactly the users disappeared.
I let run a bbpress repair scripts after the issues, but I dont know, if it will help.
Please help me, I am afraid of other moderators will disappear also.
Thanks
Hi,
To be honest, I tend not to use MU except for testing. The network activation of plugins (so push and activate them to all the subsites) is nice, but not all plugins are ready to be used like that. But I more see it like different websites under the same admin and not as a site and a subsite.

This seems to be working well for me now that the update has been rolled out to my site. I’ll continue testing but looks good so far. Thanks for all who were involved in investigating/fixing this problem!
Thanks Pascal,
I look at the SQL and saw that ‘imported_Glenn’ was 3228 and ‘Glenn’ was 1. Tested and changed one of them to 1 and it worked OK. I will look at replacing them all tonight.
Unless anyone shouts out not to do it. 🙂

Hi,
The latest stable version is still 2.5.8, but 3 days ago probably the readme file was modified to indicate that WP 4.4.1 is supported.
Version 2.6-alpha is in the development trunk but not yet moved to ‘stable’.
Pascal.
Hi,
If you use the latest WP and bbPress and also the latest version of the plugin, then it SHOULD work. But it would be best to open a support call on the plugin directly. This issue seems to have happened before.
Pascal.
Make sure your using the correct database prefix, most phpBB tables will be named something like phpbb_posts, in that case the database prefix is phpbb_
If you are importing from phpBB 3.1 then you can test the new importer via our bbPress “development version” aka bbPress 2.6 alpha, theres some new import improvements, you can get this from the following page or direct link:
• https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/developers/
• https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/bbpress.zip
link to your site please
and
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 twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.
Then come back
Trying to import a very large bbpress 1.2 forum to the latest. As I understand it, the converter essentially reads through all topics, replies and forums and creates a new post of type “forum” in the main WP database.
My issue is that this forum has approx. 520k topics and many, many more replies. The furthest the import process has managed to get has been 67k posts imported before timing out or dying in some unshown way. This is running on a dedicated server with 4GB RAM which runs nothing else.
Short of me rewriting the converter so it’s pure scripting and doesn’t run in WP, is there some way for me to speed this up and make sure it doesn’t die? To recap, it’s died in the following ways:
1) got to 67k, ended in ———- : AFAIK from reading, this is due to login timeout. I’ve solved that by auto refreshing the dashboard page
2) Says “starting conversion” hangs there indefinitely : logging that I’ve put in place indicates that inserts are happening but nothing is coming through on the WP log window. This eventually dies as well.
Any advice would be great – I’m not sure if @netweb is still around but if yes, please help 😀 I’ve read all your posts to other people on this sorta topic.
Right, but I’ve tested it without all the other plugins and it’s entirely fine. What’s strange to me is that any new post is accessible from the page where you can see all the forums, but in that specific forum, it’s not there.
For example, if I were to post “Hello.” In a forum called “Miscellaneous”, I can see that I’ve made a change in that forum under the freshness section in the page where you can see all the forums, and if I click on that link I see the post “Hello.” But if I click to see the “Miscellaneous” forum, the post “Hello” isn’t there.
I’m utterly confused…
Hey there,
I’d like to import Mingle Forums in to BBPRESS
But there is no ‘Forums’ option under Tools.
Have tested a different server, different theme – same problem. Anyone else having the issue?
Any ideas?
Hey everyone.
Trying to start up a forum on our website (taegukwarriors.com) but my tests in Private reveal that a new post can take up to 45 minutes to show up on the topic page, and replies up to 5 minutes. Is this my website being slow (I ran it through some tests on GTMetrix and I’m getting 85%…)? What can I do to make it faster, so when I go public, people can start new posts and reply in a fairly fluid way?
Thanks
Tim
WordPress 4.4.1 has now been released, could you please test to make sure this issue is resolved. https://wordpress.org/news/2016/01/wordpress-4-4-1-security-and-maintenance-release/
Thanks for all your feedback and patience here in this topic, its greatly appreciated everyone 🙂
I’ve just installed bbPress and have come across a bit of an issue. Hopefully it’s something I’ve done wrong rather than anything else 🙂
The forum will display fine – I’ve set up a default forum, topic, etc – except for the forum root page. That appears as blank.
I’ve kept everything as default so the root is ‘forums’. Here it is… http://artiss.co.uk/sandbox/forums/
Blank page. Not even a 404. No, I don’t have any posts or pages set up with the same name. I even changed this to another name and still got the same.
However, a direct link to the forum I set up works… http://artiss.co.uk/sandbox/forums/forum/test-forum/
Anybody have an idea what the problem is?
Thanks,
David.
Hi all,
I’m trying to figure out with BBPress installed and activated on my latest WP 4.4 installation.
I’ve successfully activated BBPress but i doens’t display in my dashboard .
Is it a known issue ? It worked fine with WP 4.3.1
thanks a lot !
So something is creating an extra one. You will have to test:
– Switch to a standard theme and try inserting a topic
– Stop all plugins except bbPress (stay on the standard theme), insert a topic, then start reactivating one plugin after another and everytime insert a topic.
Pascal.
on admin panel, there is also two records. my site is live but still in test.
Hello,
When I create a new Topic or reply, bbpress is creating another topic or forum as duplicate and the wierd part is the name of duplicated topic/forum is just (0).
I am using BPtoolkit only.
Do you have any idea why I am facing with that?
My WP version is 4.4, bbversion is the latest one.
Hi Naerean,
WP 4.4.1 Release Candidate is out. If you want to test it, you can find it here
Hopefully in 1 week it will be available for production, at least I hope.

WordPress 4.4.1 RC (Release Candidate) was released earlier today, if your able to test it and make sure this issue is resolved that would be great 🙂
4.4.1 Release Candidate
Expect the main 4.4.1 release to be released later this week pending the RC release testing.
No update as yet, but between WordPress and bbPress I think we can add some unit tests that will add a set of examples of possible permutations and combinations of when this occurs and mitigate as best we can against as many of these as possible.
Hi,
bbPress is already at the latest stable version (2.5.8) and works great. There are some issues with WP 4.4 (mainly for hidden/private forums) and I’m waiting for WP 4.4.1 like many others, but the issue is there, not in bbPress.
The lastest info I have is that it should be available before Mid January, but that’s just unofficial data.
If you are referring to bbPress 2.6 (nothing to see with WP issues) then I can tell you that tests are fully ongoing (well, a bit less in the last week, but everybody deserves some rest), so I do hope that shortly 2.6 will be out also. You can already test the alpha development version here.
Pascal.
When is BBPress going to be updated for latest WP version?
