Stephen,
I’m not sure what you mean by “Once bbPress core converter is updated we can filter the users imported”. I believe we need to add the ‘from_expression’ => ‘WHERE User.Deleted = 0’ back into the first user section, but if your saying the core converter can do it, how does the core know who’s deleted?
Also, is there a way we can check for the password type in the User table, and then if the type is not Vanilla, do something else? I didn’t dig into how you guys handle passwords you can’t convert, but I’m pretty sure a Facebook auth token will be one of those off cases. I would be happy to help test and work on this more to produce a finished product.
Jack,
You can try this one, it’s works for me. A couple notes, I didn’t finish the “Tags” section because I don’t have any tags in my Vanilla Forum. Also, I didn’t have any child Categories, but the converter “should” work for parent/child Categories. I also removed the code that excludes Deleted and Comment Email statuses, so those will get imported.

I have a full test server setup however, and would happy to help tweak this converter so it works for you.
Stephen,
I think I made a couple tweaks to the Vanilla2 during final testing. Have you tested the version you have, or should I post my latest version?
More testing!
I’ve tested clearing W3TC and that seemed to have no effect.
Upgraded WP and bbP and that doesn’t seem to have any effect either.
One additional weird thing — when I moved the affected user to the “Participant” role for the forum, they couldn’t see ANYTHING. This seems like a separate issue, but felt I should mention it here. When they were set as forum role “Spectator”, the forum/topics displayed as usual (still missing the first post)
Hey guys,
So I’ve got a weird thing happening on my forums.
I create a test account, make a post, and it appears on the forum. But then I log out and it disappears! It won’t re-appear until I login with a user account (any user account).
Weird huh? Any idea whats happening?

Guys,
Have a question.. I have the latest bbpress installed and I can see my forum and posts in the frontend on my website but I can`t see the forum/post/topics/replys in the admin back end.. So I can`t edit or do anything much. very strange.. anybody know what could be wrong? Have the latest version of WP and Pagelines
Thank you in advance
@wdfee Wow – I am SOO glad I stumbled across this y’day – as I was having the EXACT same issue related to the inability to post/create new (forum) topics within buddypress groups after I migrated all the group forums to bbpress 2.2.3.
My config is WP 3.5 multisite, bbPress 2.2.3, BuddyPress 1.6.3, using bp-default theme &/or Genesis Agency w/ Genesis Connect.
It was driving me bonkers trying to comprehend what could be wrong. Regardless, I de-activated bbpress on the root site (site 1), & re-activated bbpress ‘sitewide’ and now I can post new topics w/ buddypress group forums. Like you, I could always create new topics for group forums via the back-end & from the front-end via the sitewide forums, but the front-end was a no-go (w/in the actual group-forum) until I activated bbpress sitewide. As a test, I created a multisite ‘from scratch’ installation (WP 3.5 multisite, bbPress 2.2.3, BuddyPress 1.6.3, using bp-default theme) & activated both buddypress & bbpress from site 1 (root) and everything works 100% as expected from the start. I still don’t 100% understand the nature of this sol’n, but I’ll take it for now!
Anyways, THANKS for posting this, as this forum thread was the tipping point to get a major [buddypress x bbpress] open-innovation project launched ‘only x1 month late’ √
Hello,
I am trying to display the telephone number of members in the members directory. I already tried
echo bp_member_profile_data(‘field=Phone Number’);
But for some reason it is still not working. Any advise on what could be done?
Have the latest version of BP/WP installed.
Thanks
Lucky
Hi guys I am trying to list the 3 freshest bbpress topics from a specific forum. How Can I do that?
This is my code for displaying latest 3 topics from bbpress (not specific forum):
get_results("SELECT post_title, guid, post_date, post_type, post_modified, post_type from wp_posts where post_type LIKE 'topic' && post_type LIKE 'topic' ORDER by post_date DESC limit 3","ARRAY_N");
if ($forumslist)
{
foreach ($forumslist as $row)
{
echo '<li><a href="'.$row[1].'" rel="nofollow">'.$row[0].'</a>'.date('F d, Y', strtotime($row[2])).'</li>';
}
}
else
echo 'Error fetching data';
?>
Now I would like to get the most fresh topics under a certain parent. So I know I can do something like:
$forumslist1 = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT post_title, guid, post_date, post_modified, post_type, post_parent from wp_posts where post_type LIKE 'topic' && post_parent LIKE '1263' ORDER by post_modified DESC limit 3","ARRAY_N");
but how can I order those by freshness? You can see I tried to order them by post_modified but I didnt have luck there…
So I need to know how to get the freshest topics…
Thanks,
Mario
Thanks for replying @destroflyer
We use 2.0.3 and can’t upgrade yet until we work out theme issues. The latest BBpress completely breaks our theme and makes the site un-usable. We’re working on a new theme but I was hoping I could get these to work without it.
Try your plugins
— disable all of them except your theme and your bbpress plugin.
for me it was plugin – “Frontpage category filter”
“This plugin allows you to choose which post categories youe site will show on the homepage. Just go to settings and deselect the categories that you want to hide.
Version 1.0.2 | By Cristian Merli ”
Once I deactivated I went one by one – ok sometimes two by two and isolated that plug-in which I need so I will try and find a workaround or another plugin that will not break bbpress. Would like to continue testing bbpress.. have looked at others and yes they work – but this version of bbpress is so far working with my thesis theme.
As long as that plugin is off.

Hi.
I downloaded the latest file from the link that you provided above, put it in the folder `/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/converters` but I couldn’t import my old Mingle forum into bbPress.
When I click start button I get this:
Repair any missing information: Continue
Conversion Complete
No replies to convert
No tags to convert
No topics to convert
No forum parents to convert
No forums to convert
Starting Conversion
The settings which I tried as below:
Select Platform: Mingle
Database Server: My host IP
Database Port: 3306
Database Name: My database name
Database User: My database user name
Database Password: My database password (which I use to login to phpMyAdmin)
Table Prefix: The prefix that used in my database.
Can you please help me?
Thanks in advance.
We will have to go down that route for now as the phpBB import has a similar issue and at the moment the docs state to manually delete these after import.
We can look into why the converter isn’t doing joins correctly on the user table for future versions as if we changed to much there now I am quite sure we would break other stuff and would have very little time to test this at this stage.
Thats great news, would you mind adding a comment to that ticket #2155 in trac with details of your setup and results from your testing.
O.M.G I have finally come across the solution to my problem! Well I have only tested it in my local environment a couple of times and the issue has gone away so hopefully it’s fixed for good!
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2155
The solution was to change the `bbp_redirect_to_field()` function. I changed this function located in bbpress\includes\common\template-tags.php and the redirects now work!
Thanks bbPress team =)
Modified function:
`function bbp_redirect_to_field( $redirect_to = ” ) {
// Make sure we are directing somewhere
if ( empty( $redirect_to ) ) {
if ( isset( $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’] ) ) {
$redirect_to = ( is_ssl() ? ‘https://’ : ‘http://’ ) . $_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’] . $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’];
} else {
$redirect_to = wp_get_referer();
}
}
// Remove loggedout query arg if it’s there
$redirect_to = (string) esc_attr( remove_query_arg( ‘loggedout’, $redirect_to ) );
$redirect_field = ”;
echo apply_filters( ‘bbp_redirect_to_field’, $redirect_field, $redirect_to );
}`
Today when i tested my websites for flaws i saw that the visual editor box text color had changed into white instead of black. This made the text invisible unless you highlighted the written text.
When i did some research on how to change it i saw that this problem goes back years.
Most forum threads didn’t even got solved.
I have found a simple solution for this problem.
When i checked my source code i saw that the visual editor .css was located in public-html/wp-includes/css/editor.min.css
Call it a lucky guess but when i searched for ‘white’ it got me to this part of the code:
wp-editor-area{color:black}
I changed it into wp-editor-area{color:white} and this solved my problem.
I hope this helps allot of frustrated people!.
I’m wondering if there is a way to exclude one or more forums (and optionally, specific tags) from being included in the site-wide “latest posts” index.
What do you want to know?
There is no need to reverse engineer anything, just grab the latest copy of Example.php either from /bbpress/includes/admin/converters/ or the latest updated version I am working on here and start modifying the table mappings as per the docs in the codex.
https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/ & https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/custom-import/
@noumaan I just tested this and everything works as expected with a WordPress user with the WP role ‘Subscriber’ and bbPress role ‘Keymaster’
These following are the only admin panels available/visible in the WP admin dashboard:
- Home – Right now in forums (stats)
- bbPress Forums, Topics and Replies panels
- Profile (Edit own profile)
- Tools -> Forums (Repair, Import & Reset bbPress tools)
- Settings -> Forums (Main bbPress settings)
I’m having a bit of an issue with bbPress and WPML. For some reason it loads every single wordpress post ever created under the actual forum.
See: http://www.touhou.si/forums/forum/testingissoawesome/
Has anyone seen anything like that before?
Hey Stephen,
I’ve been debugging this for a while and it appears that I don’t get the erro if I post as admi, I only get it if I’m posting as a participant.
Could you try posting an @mention as a regular participant in the forum and see if you get it?
No idea why that would affect things, but it does seem to.
Will keep testing various scenarios!
I saw some discusses about the usage of Latex in bbpress. I guess maybe the easiest way to enable Latex in bbpress is to use Mathjax.
Put the following script code into the block of the header.php in the theme. This will load the latest version of MathJax from the distributed server, and configure it to recognize mathematics in both TeX and MathML notation. For details, refer to http://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/start.html#mathjax-cdn and http://www.ouruniv.com/topic.php?id=4
script
type=”text/javascript”
src=”http://cdn.mathjax.org/mathjax/latest/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS-MML_HTMLorMML”>
script
The above script is not the exactly one. The shape bracket is omitted since the code won’t be displayed with it. You could copy the right one at http://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/start.html#mathjax-cdn

I do not why the script above is not displayed.
I’d love to have Tapatalk support on bbpress. This is truly great news.
I’m having two issues:
1) When my users are logged in they they get the following message “We’re Sorry But That Page Could Not Be Found”
However when I’m logged in as admin (keymaster) I can see the entire forum & topics. This is also for those who are not logged in.
2) The other issue I am having is I did a fresh install of the latest version on bbPress, but now the option to create new Forums & Topics is gone from the admin side bar located in the admin side of the site. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling more than once.
