I was on Simple:Press v5.3.4 and have just now upgraded to v5.4.1
Tested the current bbPress v2.5.3 import using the SimplePress5 importer and everything worked fine.

This is the SQL query that runs the step you are stuck on:
SELECT post_id AS value_id, meta_value FROM sp_postmeta WHERE meta_key = '_bbp_forum_parent_id' AND meta_value > 0 LIMIT 0, 100
This shouldn’t really cause any issues, worst case scenario you no longer have your forums grouped in their previous hierarchal structure.
The only other thing I can think of is maybe a SimplePress plugin/extension may have modified the database setup beyond the basic ‘out of the box’ setup I use.
You could also try reordering your SimplePress forums to force an update of their values in the database. Also try removing the forums from the groups and delete the groups. You can easily add the groups/categories again on the bbPress side once the import is completed successfully.
Help! My forums are not aligning properly. Has anyone had this problem, and any ideas what could be causing it? I’ve tried deactivating and reactivating all plugins… take a look here:

Thanks if you can help…

Ok, I am also confused !
If http://www.techgreet.com/ is your site, it seems to be working fine on the client side, I can access and see the forums.
So for the server error – when exactly do you receive this error?
Are there particular actions that you take to create this?
Have you contacted your server administrator, and what did they say?
for the tab error – I presume this is in the dashboard?
Have you just installed bbpress, or is this an old installation?
What else has changed
What other plugins are your running?
It may be a plugin or theme conflict – not sure whether you tried deactivating all plugins except bbPress viz
Check other plugins
Check that no other plugins are affecting this.
Turn off all other plugins, and see if that fixes the problem. If the problem is resolved, add back one at a time to see which is causing the conflict.
Check themes
If plugins are not the cause, then it may be a theme issue. Switch to a default theme, such as twentytwelve, and test.
So it turns out it definately was the MailChimp plug in.. I disabled a few of the checkboxes.. it got better but was still buggy.. then I disabled it all together and ran it through a series of posts and tests, log ins as admin, log ins as a user.. seems to be working fine .. so far.
It sucks though because I was really hoping to use that Mailchimp plug in to build our mailing list.. now I may have to do it manually.
You should be able to do most of this debug testing in under 5 minutes, this is the quickest and most effective way of troubleshooting. Once you determine what plugin or theme is causing the conflict then you can either choose to not reanble it or renable it, then do some research with the plugin/theme author to try and get the issue fixed.
Im guessing its that nasty MailChimp Lite plugin.. I’ll be checking later tonight.
I had tested this when I originally installed and didnt have these problems.. or at least I think so. I only installed Mailchimp in there a few days ago.
I’ll disable it bit by bit in hopes its not totally useless.. *sigh*
Whenever that control strip starts disappearing over top in admin mode.. its always a conflict.. so I still have hope…. those forums are a major part of that site.
Can’t switch the theme at this point.. t’would be suicide.
elegant – depends !
If you simply alter this file then on any bbpress version update you’ll lose the changes, so make a note of them.
There are alternatives
1. Add the css styling change to the style.css file within your child theme.
If you have a child theme, then this is ideal, as neither plugin nor theme update will affect your change. Simply add the code below to your style.css
/*Styling for forum description */
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-content {
clear:both !important;
margin-left: 0px !important;
padding: 0 0 0 0 !important;
}
2. If you only have a main theme, then consider using a child theme – it’s quick and easy to create one, basically it’s just a theme that you create that says “use this main theme, but then add these bits”. Google child theme video and you’ll get loads of help.
3. Add this to the style.css in your main theme
But you’ll need to keep a note of it for theme upgrades, so this is really no better than changing in the bbPress template, and neater to do it in bbPress than your theme
4. Make a directory called css in your theme (either child or main) and copy the bbpress.css file into it. Then make changes there. this then won’t be overwritten on upgrades, but you will not get the benefit of changes to the default bbpress.css that may be in upgrades.
Overall 1. is by far the best choice, as you keep the code no matter what happens. Otherwise keep a note of your changes (which are fine, and are what I did to test prior to putting the end result in my style.css), so that you can replicate them on upgrades.
I have done a little more investigation (with a slightly different configuration). I created a new “test” topic as one user. I logged out and logged in as a different user and attempted to respond to the test topic and I received the following error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_notifications_add_notification() in /nas/wp/www/staging/cbblogers/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/notifications.php on line 124
My configuration was:
bbPress v2.5.3
buddyPress v1.8.1
Wordpress v3.8.1

Thanks much,

Don’t know why it happened. try Dashoboard>tools>forums.reapir forums and run one at a time to see of this fixes your links.
It could also be worth checkint that you haven’t got a plugin or theme issue, although neither would cause a plugin to disappear.
Check other plugins
Check that no other plugins are affecting this.
Turn off all other plugins, and see if that fixes the problem. If the problem is resolved, add back one at a time to see which is causing the conflict.

@adenslayer
This seems to be a known issue with this plugin viz :
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wpsc-support-tickets-bbpress-conflict?replies=1
I see you’ve also posted to the plugin site, so hopefully the plugin author will come back to you.
Can only suggest you try the following to see if they are causing issues

I can’t see anything obvious that is wrong….
Your not using the latest jQuery, your using v1.10.2, you should be using v1.11.0
I would double check your code in any functions.php you are using for your theme, make sure you are using bbPress v2.5.3.
I’d also suggest strip out all the JavaScript (stickUp.js etc) and the jQuery bits as @Lynq wrote above and get back to an extremely basic header.php, footer.php and bbpress.php (or index.php, page.php etc) and verify everything is working then add back your JavaScript bits one at a time.
Hello Stephen,
I added this code in my functions.php file and got two button but the toolbar is still not working:
I have only 2 plug-ins. bbPress and Aqua Verifier. I already deactivated the Aqua Verifier plug-in to see if the plug-in could cause the problem but it doesn’t. I think the problem is my theme I have created for my site but I can’t find an mistake in my code. I would be really glad if you could take a look on my code: http://snippi.com/s/r6mpul7
Hi Robin,
Thank you for the prompt reply.
Issue 2 is resolved with your code.
As far as issue 1 goes – I disabled all plugins and it did not resolve the issue. So I went ahead and enabled twentyfourteen and it resolved it – Unfortunately that is not much good to me, as I need to continue using the theme I bought from Themeforest.
The theme authors general attitude when you post any issue with an external plugin is that they basically don’t care as its not directly related to in-built theme functionality or ‘we haven’t tested that with our theme so can’t comment on your issue’.
With the above in mind, could you suggest some way I could debug the issue myself and try to resolve it?
On issue no. 1
the ' is the code for a quote mark ie the ones either side of this ‘word’
so something is displaying rather than interpreting this.
Not sure why, could ebe a plugin or theme issue

Hi Lynqoid!
We love the look of your BBPress theme. It seems many people are installing this different ways though. Some are using filezilla and others their WP theme uploader. The result is that some installs are working out of the box and some are not so could you please answer a few questions for us?
1. We are using the Dynamix Theme with a child theme we created. How exactly would I go about this install? Can you give us the step by step for all of us please? 🙂
2. Am I correct in understanding that this file only “themes” BBPress and not the rest of our theme?
Thanks for all your help.

Hi there,
I have the latest versions of WP, Buddypress, bbPress and rtMedia installed on a test site.
My theme is SocialBuddy.
When I have all 3 plug-ins activated and go to the Buddypress member profile eg. members/admin and press the Media tab which should bring me to the Media area it instead brings me to the bbPress user’s (Admin in this instance) profile page but keeps the pretty url as members/admin and not forums/users/admin/.
When I deactivate the bbPress plugin the Media tab works correctly…with no issue at all.
I’ve been in touch with both the rtMedia and SocialBuddy developers and they are unable to help.
Site is wp.photographyireland.net
Any advice?
Thanks
Mark

I posted about this issue that I had a couple of weeks ago without any resolution. So I thought I would start at the beginning. I installed a fresh copy of WordPress (3.8.1) with the default themes on a newly created directory. Second I installed BBpress (2.5.3) and kept all the default settings. Upon completion I added the BBpress login widget and tested the login function. When I do this it hangs up on /wp-login.php page with nothing but a single period on the page.
Is anyone else having this same issue? I need help!!!!

There is no real easy way to do this in bbPress 1.x and that is what you are using.
The latest version of bbPress is bbPress v2.5.3 that is a plugin for WordPress.
You should just delete the entire database and install WordPress then bbPress.

Hello, I’m having some tests in a site named ffffind.com
Now the only problem is, it looks like someone has breached into my wordpress account and posted 20K+ posts and topics inside the bbpress extension.
ffffind.com/forum/ is where the problem is at.
I am running the latest WP release as well as the latest BBpress release.
How do i delete all of the posts in one hit and renew all of the bbpress content?
Is there a way to filter search results for non-logged-on users of the website so their results don’t display the contents of private forums which then go to a redirect loop when we try to follow the links?
An example from our testing site:
http://www.resourcescentreonline.co.uk/tim_play/?s=fisticuffs
The search results don’t include topics that have individually been made ‘private’ but I can’t find a way to set this to default for topics within a private forum – I can batch edit them afterwards but it would be good if, failing a solution to the search problem, this could happen automatically.
We’re running WordPress 3.8.1 and BBPress 2.5.3 (as part of a Commons In A Box setup) on an entirely custom theme.
If there’s any more information I need to provide, please let me know – thank you.
edit: glaring typo
I just did a test on my staging site, pagination gets the 404 error in main forum, in topic it works fine
Having issue with our site pages and BBPress. We are using WP 3.8.1 and the latest version of BB Press.

We want to customize our BB Press page (title, maybe input a button or two… who knows) BUT there is no actual BB Press page to customize? The forum seems to be automatically created upon install. Normally we can edit any page by selecting “edit page” at the top of the screen and in this case, there is no edit page button because the page doesn’t exist.
Following? So the logical next step is to create the page right? Well… when we go to the backend of WP in the admin dashboard -> Settings -> Forums -> we read (about halfway down this page) this text:
“Forum Root Slug – Customize your Forums root. Partner with a WordPress Page and use Shortcodes for more flexibility.”
So we created a WP Page named forums. (http://www.fretbuzz.com/forums/) If this page is created then the forums appear until we edit anything. We cant select any option or input any text or the forums do not appear. So we deleted the page and the forums appear again. Then we created a separate WP page and labeled it test (http://www.fretbuzz.com/test/) and then moved the forum root slug to it, the forums again appear but If we again try to put any button shortcode or text or whatever in the page then nothing appears. So this begs the question…. What are the shortcodes BB Press talks about in the settings panel? How do we customize our BB Press Forums page?
End goal = Create an actual page that hold the forum roots on which we can add a button or two (with maybe some text). With an actual page as the root slug, I have access to turn on or off options as well such as “ratings” and “Author Bio”, which is quite annoying on the forums currently.
Our theme (DynamiX) has almost 9000 support members and this is what one of the support moderators said:
“Hi Tad,
I am not sure if this feature works correctly as I have tested it with DynamiX and the standard WP theme and they both have the same results. It must be a feature of BBPress that does not work properly.
Tom”
This cannot be so…. Any suggestions. Any help is highly coveted. 🙂
Hi all,
I’m trying to figure out how to get a specific forum to be shown on a page and to keep users on that page.
I’m using the following shortcode:
[bbp-single-forum id=9232]
This does the job of showing the specific forum on the page, but it when a user posts a new topic or clicks on a topic to read it, it takes them to the bbPress page:
/forums/topic/test-topic
Is it possible to keep the user on that page throughout the process? I have different forums for separate members (using the Groups plugin), and would like to control who can see what from that single page.
Thanks 🙂
