I am running the latest version (2.4) along with the latest version of WP (2.6.1) and BuddyPress (1.8.1) and my Search Box for the Forum has apparently disappeared? It was there at one point, but now it is missing and I’m not really sure when it disappeared, just noticed it yesterday, but I cannot find any useful solutions? Thanks for your help (hopefully)!

[Stephen Edgar]

It looks right to me, did you download the latest version and upload it to the correct location?

I hope that because o2 turned into an plugin and not a new theme, the possibilities of combining the functions with bbPress should be possible.
Breathe works well and if other themes can be made to play nice with both plugins, I don’t see why it shouldn’t work.

I do think that bbPress can be a very valuable tool and won’t actually be replaced by comments altogether.
I hope that we’ll be able to test the plugin soon on our own installs. 🙂

[inspirationally]

Wow, great work!! Thank you so much!
Baby sleeping, big one sent to kindergarden, so I have a bit of time, too.

Little changes in your version:

replaced

			'from_tablename'  => 'forum',

with

			'from_tablename'  => 'wbb1_1_board',

at forum status and forum board

(Btw. everyone may use another board ID!!!) I have 1, some may also have wbb2_1_board and wcf2_ or even wbb1_2_board (if they have a second board – you can install two baords in one WCF – Community Framework – this is to change individually. The same goes for the language IDs. There may be more/different languages.

Signature import works (will have to see how to implement that later for buddypress maybe), just special characters don’t convert: “there’s Johnny.— – but that’s just a mini error,
languages work, too (I just have to see how to implement it),
I have whole topics with all their answers (what I did not have yesterday – instead a headache).
Categories work quite perfect, too!
Closed forums -> no idea, because I don’t have any. But it sounds correct.
BBCodes have been converted, too, besides a few like [align=center]

The sortOrder does NOT work. Simply, because that field exists in wbb1_1_board, but it is empty.
This is saved in wbb1_1_board_structure with the fields parentID boardID and position.
I tried a table join here again and probably destroyed your clean coding once again. But it works, I just tested!!
See the updated wbb.txt from the top!!

The author thing is bad,
It’d be great if they even were anonymous and not ME. Actually there are some pretty silly posts there, and I keep replying to myself this way. Hmmm…
But I can solve it with manually replacing User ID 1 with 0 where it is a topic or reply for now to MAKE it anonymous.

I tried – because of the smilies not working and the special chars in the signature – an import with uncommenting the last lines (see wbb.txt)
Some Special Characters still wrong, but who cares for the few? as long as ä ö ü ß from German language work, everything is fine.
Smilies started to work. Great!!

So the only thing left is the author and the passwords.
I tried to implement parts of a paid plugin WBB Bridge here, but even that didn’t work (plus we cannot simply use it because of the license)

[Stephen Edgar]

I haven’t tested this myself but there are a few themes out there that support WordPress, bbPress, BuddyPress & WooCommerce so I would think that a few people have this up and running pretty much out of the box.

Your main issue I would start looking into would be managing your users and user profiles.

A seriously quick search for ‘WordPress & bbPress’ revealed this:

[Stephen Edgar]

Which version are you using? Make sure you are using the latest (and correct) version.

There are now three versions of the Kunena importer:

• Kunena1.php for Kunena v1.x
• Kunena2.php for Kunena v2.x
• Kunena3.php for Kunena v3.x

Hi Guys

I know WordPress to a reasonable level but am completely new to forum building and BBPress. I am hoping my question has a simple answer and is probably me missing something very simple.

I have set up the forum for a charity I am working with, its installed fine and we have some test topics up and running. No problems.

The installation provides me with a forum address of http://mydomain.com/forums/forum/forum-name which is fine.

All I want to do is basically add some notes/welcome message and an image just above where the forum starts but I dont seem to be able to do it. When I go into my form and add in text or an image, in the same way you would add to a page/post then save it, nothing appears?

Any ideas at all how I can achieve this? Should this be happening in the way that it is?

Many thanks!

Justin

[jcundiff]

I am having a small issue with my website. I want to start really using the forums. I set up the registration process and the forums themselves. The one area I am having a problem is the confirmation email not actually going out to user’s emails. After completing registration, the email is suppose to be sent out but never actual arrives (I tested myself). Where exactly would I look to correct this problem?

Thanks!

[jenseo]

Solved it! Changed it to the latest jQuery version (1.10.2) and now it works like a charm!

[fontadoni]

Hello,

I encountered major problems after running the “Repair Forums” tools on my site newdirt.org/forums. It seems like all forums, topics and replies have lost their “parent relationship” and my forum looks empty. This is not a new forum installation, I have hundreds of posts. It looks the same from the admin panel, I can see forum names but they have 0 posts in them. I can see topic titles but they look empty. Replies have “No Topic” and “No Forum” assigned to them, but the content is there. The funny thing is that if you go directly to each topic link, you can see each topic with their replies (for example as accessing “Latest Forum Topics” from the sidebar: Topic From Sidebar.

Things that I did previous to this problem: upgraded wordpress to 3.6.1 and then ran Tools -> Forums -> Repair Forums.

PLEASE HELP!

Wordpress Version: 3.6.1
bbPress Version: 2.4

[PureLoneWolf]

See…now I feel like a complete moron. No, I had not checked the “Screen Options” option…although, in my defense, I have never adjusted that on the working site either…

So that’s the menu issue sorted now…/facepalm. I always say to check the simple stuff first, I should probably listen to myself from time to time.

What is confusing me about the functions.php mod..is that, to test, I have actually taken a copy of the working theme from the working site..and it still fails. It actually fails on every theme I give it. It literally happened when I upgraded to 2.4. I had the main site open in another tab, updated the bbpress plugin, switched to the other tab and hit refresh…where it immediately went to what it is now.

I thought it might be plugin related, so I deactivated any differences between the sites, and still nothing.

Is there another way to get this change, other than in the themes functions.php?

[Kaliceos]

I’m running latest releases of WordPress and bbPress, and I don’t have any problems neither with the custom function (placed in my theme’s functions.php) nor with the menus.
Edit after your edit : I also have buddyPress installed

What theme are you using ? The bbp_list_forums may be used in a different way in the theme where it doesn’t work.

For the menus, I don’t know what could cause this issue, have you tried with an other theme ?

If you want to rebuild your site, take a look at the Tools > Export and Tools > Import in your dahsboard, you’ll be able to transfer your forums, topics and posts.
For users, it looks like the plugin AEIOU can do that. Otherwise, transferring the mysql tables (wp_users, wp_usermeta and if you use buddyPress wp_bp_xprofile_*) should work too.
I guess you have to import users before forums, posts, and topics if you want to keep the author relation.

[PureLoneWolf]

Ok. I have now done the following:

Copied the entire bbPress (plus bbPress plugins) folder from the working site.
Copied the working theme from the working site.

Deactivated deleted bbPress (plus bbPress plugins) from the non-working site
Uploaded bbPress and plugins to the non-working site.
Uploaded theme
Activated all on the non-working site

This didn’t work. Forums remain stubbornly on one line and the Forums option doesn’t appear in the WP menu editor.

On top of that, I then deactivated and deleted bbPress..then re-installed through the WP Add New Plugin interface.

This also didn’t work. No change whatsoever. I am going to have to build a test site and re-build the site I think.

What would be the easiest way to get the forums/posts/users etc brought over?

Many thanks

**EDIT**
This just gets weirder and weirder. I just created a blank, brand new installation of wordpress. Installed buddypress, then bbpress. Went to Appearance/Menus and Forums does not show up.

@Xevo

Go to https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/2.3 and press “Zip Archive” at the bottom.

That appears to be 2.3.3-ALPHA. I need the latest stable of 2.3, which I thought was 2.3.2?

[PureLoneWolf]

Hi there

I have bbPress (along with BuddyPress) on two, fundamentally, identical websites.

However, on http://www.wolflan.com, I have no issues, but on clan.wolflan.com I have a couple of weird ones.

They are both even using themes from the same author.

On wolflan.com, I was able to use

function custom_bbp_list_forums() {
  $args['separator'] = '<br />';
 
  return $args;
}
 
add_filter('bbp_before_list_forums_parse_args', 'custom_bbp_list_forums' );

in my themes functions.php, and therefore get the sub-forums on their own line. Additionally, I was able to add individual forums to the site navigation menu (Appearance/Menus).

On clan.wolflan.com I was able to get the sub-forums on their own line, up until I upgraded to 2.4. At which point, my private forums moved to the bottom and the code above stopped putting the sub-forums on their own line. Today, I decided that I would like to have forums on the navigation and noticed that I have no option for this.

Both sites are running an identical plugin list, they are both on the latest versions of all plugins and are also running WP3.6.1 as of this morning.

Would anyone have any ideas?

I have linked to images that show the issue:

wolflan.com
Fully working, modded functions.php
fullworkingfunctionsmod.png
Fully working, wordpress menu editor
fullworkingmenueditor.png

clan.wolflan.com
Not working, modded functions.php
nonworkingfunctionsmod.png
Not working, wordpress menu editor
nonworkingmenueditor.png

Would anyone have any ideas as to what I can do to solve these two issues?

Many thanks

Hello,

I tried for several days to import my forum PHPBB 3.0.11 (the latest version) to bbPress, the latest version too, but the problem is that I end up with countless duplicate for each element of the forum.

How to remedy this?

Sincerely,

[inspirationally]

Hello,

after exactly 10 years and over 500.000 posts with our board deppheads.com running with Woltlab Burning Board (right now version 3.1.8), social networks have sort of won – instead of 150 new posts the day we have now maximum 5 posts. WBB4 will be coming out soon, so this is the right time to sell my WBB license and move it all to my site johnny-depp.org, powered by WordPress. This is where I seek help.

I already deleted inactive members, so that we now have “just” over 300, but I don’t want to delete all the written things like movie reviews and serious discussion, as this is still the home of many. So there are 500.000 posts and nearly 10.000 topics to be imported.

I edited the example.php and so far it worked with importing members and forums (just on a test WordPress installation for now).

However, there are some problems/questions I’ve come up with and I’m almost sure, there will be more following.

1. there is, equally to phpBB, the problem, that there are topics and posts, and the first post of the topic has to become “topic content” of WBB.
Here I used

// Topic content.
// Note: We join the posts table because topics do not have content.
$this->field_map[] = array(
'from_tablename' => 'wbb1_1_post',
'from_fieldname' => 'message',
'join_tablename' => 'topics',
'join_type' => 'INNER',
'join_expression' => 'USING (threadID) WHERE wbb1_1_post.postID = wbb1_1_thread.firstPostID',
'to_type' => 'topic',
'to_fieldname' => 'post_content',
'callback_method' => 'callback_html'
);

Unfortunately, I get the error, that wbb1_1_post.message does not exist:

WordPress database error: [Unknown column 'wbb1_1_post.message' in 'field list']
SELECT convert(wbb1_1_thread.threadID USING "utf8") AS threadID,convert(wbb1_1_thread.replies USING "utf8") AS replies,convert(wbb1_1_thread.boardID USING "utf8") AS boardID,convert(wbb1_1_thread.userID USING "utf8") AS userID,convert(wbb1_1_post.message USING "utf8") AS message,convert(wbb1_1_thread.topic USING "utf8") AS topic,convert(wbb1_1_thread.time USING "utf8") AS time,convert(wbb1_1_thread.lastPostTime USING "utf8") AS lastPostTime FROM wbb1_1_thread AS wbb1_1_thread LIMIT 0, 100

But it does!
I attached both, my wbb3.php import script and the database structure of the most important tables, here you go:
http://deppheads.com/uploads/wbb.txt
http://deppheads.com/uploads/database_structure.txt

2. I hope/guess, this is also the reason that all topics (once I remove that passage that produces an error) are started either by Anonymous or by ME (although I haven’t done it)?

3. some users are twice now (like myself..who have been admins of wordpress and users of the forum). Can I simply merge them with
UPDATE wp_posts SET post_author = ‘1’ WHERE post_author = ‘2’; and it will count for the forum, too?

4. the passwords – in WBB they are hashed by this:
$passwort = sha1($row->salt.sha1($row->salt.sha1($_POST[‘passwort’])));
so what do I write at the end of wbb3.php
public function authenticate_pass( $password, $serialized_pass ) {
$pass_array = unserialize( $serialized_pass );
return ( $pass_array[‘hash’] == md5( md5( $password ). $pass_array[‘salt’] ) );
}
or is this impossible and the users have to get the new password by mail?

5. the imported users have no “Forum Role”. Is is “normal”? Is there any chance to automatically give them the forum role “Participant”?

6. do I have to keep the wbb3.php “forever” because of the passwords or can I delete it one day, even if not all members have com back yet?

7. until now we have everything like private messages, profiles, friends and especially user groups (Moderators, crew members) with hidden forums. Do I see correct, that I can install both, import bbpress and afterwards attach for example our “Mods Only” to the group “Moderators” as group forum?

8. I see that every user gets a new User ID – old IDs are saved in table _bbp_converter_translator – will that table be kept? Maybe by this I have a chance to later import – somehow – private messages for buddy press!?

Alone if my first point is solved, I’d be thankful.

Kind regards, inspirationally.

Hi,

I’m in the process of migrating a phpBB forum to WordPress with bbPress. I don’t know if the bbPress style is better but my users are used to the phpBB style for displaying Forums on the main page. So I tried to reproduce that layout in bbPress using categories. With the default theme, I was not happy with the way it looked. After a quick search in these forums, I saw some interesting topics from @lynq (here and there) but it didn’t work as intended in the last bbpress release and ticket #1958 has been moved to 2.6.

So after a few hours of searching codex, and a lot of tries, I managed to do what I wanted. As there is still some demand in Lynq’s topic, I thought I should share my little work.

I’m not a developper, so my code may be a little messy, but it works as intended. I’ve tried using the bbpress functions, and commented my code. If any PHP expert would like to review it and make it better, any feedback is welcome.

The only file to change is loop-forums.php with this code.
You just need to create it and paste the code. Then upload it to /wp-content/your-theme/bbpress/. Use a child-theme if you don’t want to loose it on next theme update.

The forums are not yet online, so here are some screenshots with descriptions. (In French, because, as you may have noticed, English is not my native language 🙂 )

I’ve tested many situations (even a category inside a forum, which bbpress doesn’t consider anymore as a category, probably normal behavior) and I think everything works as intended. Feel free to report any bug.

[matrixd]

btw. did anyone else notice that the latest bbpress killed the display of the date of the latest post/reply as well as the display of the post author?

Its simply not showing anymore even though I checked the box in the widget settings

Hi,

I have the same problem. When I click on the Visual Tab, following error will shown:

TypeError: d is undefined …/wp-includes/js/quicktags.min.js?ver=3.6 Line 1

I’m using Wodpress 3.6 and the latest bbPress. What can I do?

[ManuZorch]

Hi
I have faced an issue that maybe some people have encountered and for which I did not find much info on the net.

Basically the problem was that the bbpress default template that I embedded in my WP template was rendered with supplementary line breaks (<br> and <p> tags). Just as if the wpautop function was reapplied on the forum content included in the template.

I noticed that the problem was existing on Linux if the template files had an Unix EOL : LF
And also existing on Windows (using WAMP) if those same files had a Windows EOL : CR+LF
I found a workaround by making the template files have a Mac End Of Line with : CR

But I am not sure this is a clean solution
Maybe there is something far more simple that I do not know

Thanks

I am using the latest 2.4 bbpress version

[David Donnelly]

I found Version 2.3.2 on my computer. deleted 2.4 uploaded 2.3.2 and Title tags work as they should.

Definitely a problem with 2.4 messing with Title tags.

If there is a fix let me know and I’ll be happy to test it.

Thanks
