This is the problem: http://i.imgur.com/TWMBl.png
(I’m going to put in a separate feature request with Crayon Syntax Highlighter, which we are using to highlight code on bbPress, asking if it’d be possible to ignore HTML tags inside code tags (both square brackets and the more future proof pre tags), but that wouldn’t be the cleanest solution.)
The better solution would be if the importer could prevent this from happening in the first place. If not for square code brackets (although this is a standard set by an Automattic plugin) then at least for pre tags.
In my tests, I embedded code in pre tags in a BuddyPress forum, imported it to bbPress and the embedded code was now populated with HTML tags, mainly br tags for the newlines. Funny thing is if I have the rich editor turned on, I can go into edit mode with a post that has code embedded, then I’ll go to the “Visual” mode and back to “HTML” mode, and everything has been cleaned up. I basically want the importer to do that step for me.
Can you supply a link to the plugin you are talking about:

Thanks
I have some more information–I hope that someone can help me.
The problem is to swap the default behavior and make return give a br tag and
shift return give a p tag. The TinyMCE wiki http://www.tinymce.com/wiki.php/Configuration
seems to say that is the way to do it is by setting forced_root_block to false.*
However, when I tried that using the Advanced TinyMCE Configuration plugin by Andrew Ozz , I found:
If I use it to set
forced_root_block to false,
nothing changes.
If I set forced_root_block to true, which I expected
to do nothing, it breaks the editor:
The buttons don't work, and anything that I type into
the Visual editor gets wiped out when I switch to html.
If I set forced_root_block to just a space,
when I typed in
test
test
test
test
test
test
it produces the following html:
< >< >test
<!-- -->
test
test
test
test
test
which displays as
test
test
test
test
test
test
after submitting.
Finally, if I set forced_root_block to div,
when I typed in
test
test
test
test
test
test
it produces
test
test
test
test
test
test
which displays as
test
test
test
test
test
test
and there seems to be no way to produce a break.
I hope that this data is useful. ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated.
I’m trying to upgrade a huge bbpress db which until recently we’ve had running on v.0.9. I’ve stepped through the upgrade path of installing v.1 then upgrading to the latest release but when trying to upgrade my database the script always hangs. There doesn’t seem to be a pattern to where it does this (sometimes it processes other times it gets stuck at ‘Starting Conversion’).
I’ve tried running this both on the remote server and setting up the site locally to see if I could get the upgrade done locally before porting to the live server but with no joy.
Is there any other way to upgrade the database except for the bundled converter tool within WordPress? Does anyone have any advice as to how I might be able to achieve this?
Any help much appreciated!
Hi Pippin, great work on this plugin so far. Thank you. I read through the code and tested it out. The plugin works great, and I commend you for your hard work on this. I wanted to provide a bit of feedback in case you are planning any further revisions, just to weigh in with my 2c: 1) I realize you needed somewhere to hook the “mark as read/unread” link, and by default in bbp_theme_compat no action hook is provided in a topic header. Hooking it onto the subscribe link wedges it between subscribe/favorite and is overall a bit awkward for templating. I’m not sure what a better default solution would be, but personally I felt the need to unhook this and manually place the toggle button somewhere more appealing. 2) A standalone function to display a loop of unread topics would be great. show_unread_topics() is purpose built for the bbpress user profile, but under many circumstances users might want to call this list elsewhere (if we are using BuddyPress profiles for example). Personally I created a “View Unread Topics” page that functions similarly to the “Recent Topics” archive. Anyways, including a function for just the unread topics loop (with pagination) would be a nice addition for template flexibility purposes. 3) For a site with thousands of topics, is having that bulky a “_bbp_mar_read_ids” entry in meta a concern? 4) The plugin serves a nice function of allowing a user to track whether or not he/she has looked at topics which are posted. However, it seems to me that full “view unread posts” functionality would entail clearing resetting the “read” flag when the topic is updated with a new reply. What about saving each “read” ID to meta as: post_id?num_replies where num_replies is the number of replies to the topic when the user marked it as read. When a topic is called you can explode out how many replies it had when the user first marked it. If the topic now has more replies than when it was marked, you can override the “read” flag and reset it to unread. Probably not a very elegant solution, but I think what most users would be interested in is being able to generate a list of threads with unread content, not necessarily just unread topics. Anyways, thanks very much for your work on this. I’ll be keeping an eye on how this project develops. Andrew
OK, so to do that I would have to close the post myself, which looks like I just have to add two x divs
Div <!-- .bbp-reply-content -->
Div
But it looks like HTML filters are being applied still – ah, is this a case of ordering things so that my filter comes right at the end, ie after the HTML filter?
..ah a quick test and, yes, this seems to work.
$content=$content.'TEST1(/div)(/div)IS THIS BETWEEN POSTS? YES!(div)(div)';
Ah apologies, the forum filter has filtered out the DIVs above.. putting them back in with curly brackets.
Excellent. Looks like I need to put some thought into how to make it look good but I think I can work on that! One last question then (sorry, and thanks for your help!), how do I pick out the first post?

Hey there, may you can help me, so i got a website where i got a bbpress forum installed, but when i want to write to a topic my letters is grey, and its really hard to see in the dark red background, i want to change this text color, where i can change it?
http://killingfloor.info/topics/ask-about-the-game/
to see my problem please logon with this,
user: test123 pwd: test123
Thank you.
For some reason I did not see replies to this thread so I’ve not been back until now.
Thanks matthiaswh. That solved the problem. And since it’s a membership site for a very small class with only 20 participants at a time, it won’t be a problem for us.
Also for those asking for more details. I originally solved the problem by going back to the previous version of bbpress. Recently I needed to upgrade bbpress to the latest version again because another plugin would only work with the most recent version.
We use imember360 for our membership system and our theme is Twenty Ten.
I have created a couple of test forums – these show up ok individually. But when I go to the main forums page (http://www.buscarlibros.com/foros/) the list of forums aren’t showing.
Also, on Internet Explorer I get
<tr id="bbp-forum-397"
showing up
If you grab the latest v2.1 branch of bbPress from Trac here that fix is included

Hello:
I’ve just started using wordpress and needed a good forum. I opted for BBPress and so far works fine. I am just tweaking it a bit and would like to disable the Reply to: in the Topics section. My particular test site will not need this and I wish to keep the area tidy.
** I posted this in WordPress (Plugins & Hacks) but didn’t get any response. Not sure if I was in the wrong place? **
Thanks
Andrew
Wordpress 3.4.2
BBPress 2.1.2
Thx. It’s what I was looking for.
I was confused because I didn’t found any bbpress theme to “install” and test.
In BBPress 2.0.2 version I had to integrate the native editor by myself but in the latest BBPress you can use any tinyMCE editor enhancer to change and customise the editor.
Take a look at those WordPress plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tinymce-advanced/, https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ultimate-tinymce/
This will change all tinyMCE editors on the site, but you can create a dedicated editor for the forums comment.

Good catch, I didn’t even think about vb having to link to the user id.
I was hoping to avoid setting up a dummy site to test this, but I guess with this much involved I probably should. I’ll do the test tomorrow and report back so maybe others will benefit in the future.

This option I am pretty sure will not work in the way during the import that the topics and replies are matched to user ID’s, essentially during the import bbPress can not match the vBulletin (or any other forum) UserID to an existing WordPress user.
As for the other side of things I haven’t tried to do what you are trying to do with MultiSite though a quick test install locally to give it a run through different scenarios would be the best bet to see what the outcome is.
I figured out how to make a bbpress.phhp template to use as a wrapper and it seems to be working fine except on the profile pages. Any ideas? Here’s an example profile page: http://pintester.com/forums/users/pintester/
can you give a link for the human test plugin? I can’t find it. and the bbcaptcha plugin doesnt seem to work with the latest version of wordpress.
(WP 3.4.1, bbPress 2.1.2, http://riseaboveindiana.com)
When I as admin — or any subscriber — posts a reply to a forum, it displays the “You don’t have permission to do that!” error message, but the reply still posts to the forum. Anonymous posting and global access are allowed.
Here’s a subscriber username for testing:
ID: bbPress
Password: bbPress
Thanks so much for your plugin and the support you provide for your users!

You should NOT be able to view a private forum directly by its URL.
Are you using the latest bbPress v2.1.2?
Hi,
I’ve installed bbPress on my site at http://www.thebridesboudoir.com/forums/
I’m in the middle of tweaking the templates now after copying them all to my Theme folder. I mainly copied the opening and closing tags from my current themes full width template into each file or am doing thatm, but testing when I go to the main forums, everything is thrown an inch or so to the right? It’s fine when I click on a Post to read te post details.
I have a few tweaks to make yet to the styling e.g. the post titles are too small, but could someone tell me why the main forum look would be skewif?
The other question is, what is Keymaster and how do I hide that. I prefer not to have the admin label in peoples face when I’m using the forums. I assume Key Master is another word for Admin and I don’t like the sound of it. Can I change that and where?
I note on some forums that you can create user roles and wondered if thats possible with bbPress and where that would be changed also?
Thanks for help in advance.
I like the way the forum is mixing in with my site with just a few changes here and there already. I’m surprised I’ve got this far as I’m hopeless with theming etc. Initially I installed and it took my side bar template as default and had sidebar featured and I preferred a full width forum theme, so copied the files to my theme directory. I’d be grateful for the help or hints on how to fix the front page to get it in line.
Testing, testing. 1, 2, 3. Thanks @johnjamesjacoby!
Hi all,
I’ve got a fresh installation of bbPress within a WordPress site with a custom theme. The forum needs some styling work, but seems to be mostly functional, aside from the lack of posts within threads.
I’m including a screenshot of a test thread with one reply. As you can see, the contents of the post and it’s reply are absent and i’m unsure as to where to look to fix it.

WordPress 3.4.2 and bbPress 2.1.2.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Sam.
Same problem here. The profile page displays with text only and it looks horrible. It’s something to do with the theme, but I have no idea how to fix it. Example: http://pintester.com/forums/users/pintester/
Thanks– that worked! I’m worried that it will get over-written when I update the bbpress plugin, but I guess I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it. 😉 http://pintester.com/forums2
