Thanks Robin, that didn’t work but at least I can set the option manually for each new user. I’ll try deactivating other plugins to see if there’s a conflict. There’s a message on the plugin to say it hasn’t been tested with the current version of WordPress so maybe there’s an issue there. I’ll check the support forum for the toolkit.

The link looks good, suggest you try

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 twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Then come back

I would like to run the bbpress forums without BuddyPress, if possible. Is there a solution to this issue?

yes bbpress runs quite happily on its own – my bbpress sites run without buddypress.

3.

An engaging business community giving credit to people who take the time to submit comprehensive organizational case studies

beyond ‘support desk’ help I’m afraid – it is do-able but lots and lots of bespoke coding needed (The site is not a bbpress one) . My style pack would help in getting a nicer look

1/ If i deactivate this plugin, i can’t upload new media.
I’m doing differently, i posting via then Control Panel / Topics / New topic.
But i don”t know how other people on our forum can upload new media without this plugin.

2/ OKI ! Nice !
I’ve doing it also for loop-single-topic.php, in lines 60 & 98.
I’m testing with 20 for the size.

3/ Thank you. 🙂

4/ Is it difficult to explain you here, because, we can’t upload on this forum. But i’ve pushed via my mobile on my website for you :


There is few space for text and the topic is not easy to read on mobile.
As you can see on the second one, my avatar is also a little strange in responsive mode… 🙁

5/ I have no a new question also (number five ;)) :
I can’t find the “fil d’ariane” (Breadcrumb ?) on the top of my forum.
I’ve the SEO plugin installed.
Any idea ?

From @matevoun

Then, now :

1/ I think this is because i’ve installed bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab plugin, but i need this for uploading new media… 🙁

2/ Yes, tell me what can i do… 🙂

3/ Done ! Thank you ! I’ve installed your plugin. 😉

4/ I think this is a too little for texte + avatar.

How can i do now ?

Hope to read you soon…

1. As a test deactivate that plugin and see if it works without. If so re-enable and contact that plugins author

2. for the forum list

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this

so change line 68
<span class="bbp-topic-freshness-author"><?php bbp_author_link( array( 'post_id' => bbp_get_forum_last_active_id(), 'size' => 14 ) ); ?></span>

amend 14 to whatever size you want

3. glad you like it

4. without knowing exactly what you want, I cannot suggest css changes – I suspect we will not fix this one

[TiiuK]

Thanks guys, I had the latest bbPress installed but my converter.php looked different so now I am using the converter.php file which Stephen posted and did not do any change to it. Then I tried the phpBB3 import again but know I am stuck at “Starting conversion” … it just won’t stop and there is no error message. How can I finally get this to work?

[krioteh]

Sorry, English is not my native language, I can distort phrases. I’ll try differently:

After importing a new site in …wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=topic and wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=reply is there anything?
Perhaps the topic and answer did not receive the correct post_type when importing

You can try to update the old site.
You can backup the database (in order to roll back in case of something), then:
Disable all plugins.
Update WordPress (if you can not get to the latest version, then you can add intermediate ones – they are available at https://wordpress.org/download/release-archive/)
After updating WordPress update bbPress.

P.S.Your links require authentication 🙂

Hi BBpress people!

Okay, it’s taken me days to go through with the conversion between vbulletin and bbpress. Until now, I have yet to see my complete forums in bbpress. The process stops eventually every time I restart.

180K Threads
4.2m Post
170 Users

What I have done is:
– copied the vbulletin site to vbulletincopy
– prune it down to 100K post (replies)
– start the conversion
– it’s taken me 8hrs and i’ve only got 18,000 replies converted.

Question 1:
How else can I do this conversion? I really want to get bbpress working.
Can I try this?:
– copy 4 or 5 copies of vbulletin db
– prune posts according to date (eg: 2018 – 2015 / 2015 – 2014)
– go through the conversion again with every “batch” and let it overwrite somehow?

Question 2:
How can I copy it in stages and let the forums operate with the latest data and I can overwrite with more old threads later?

Thanks!

[krioteh]

I’m testing version 2.6rc5 – everything works, moderators are added.
You need to enter: “user1, user2, user3”

They do not have access to the backend (this is superfluous …).

All actions with topics and answers (moving, splitting, merging, approval, etc.) are available from the frontend.

[streng]

Thanks, but it work only if text between code is on one row. If someune post log test separated by rows, then didnt work properly.
Any idea how to fix ?

The “bbpress topics for posts” plugin does still work, I use it extensively on my site and have done for over 3 years.

Forums

I’m currently running WP 4.9.2 and whatever the latest version of BBPress is in Prod and in test I’ve just installed WP 4.9.3 and it’s looking ok under that as well.

One thing that does need doing for the plugin is to bring it up to PHP7.x compatibility.

Another test post.

[Robin W]

ok, we need to do some tests

can you contact me via my website

I imported forums and that went fine.

I imported topics and they do not show in any forums. I re-save topics and they show up in forums. But having to save over 1,400 topics is a problem.

I have not yet imported replies but based on other people’s problems this is also going to be an issue. I cannot re-save over 15,000 replies to have them show up in topics.

This is using the WordPress built in export and import.

I have tried disabling all plugins except bbpress. I have tried saving permalinks. Nothing has worked.

I have tried the latest bbpress version, I have tried the RC version and I have tried the beta version. All with the same results.

@adchix Did you try to import in bbPress v2.6 ? The import procedure have been reviewed so you might have more luck.
Try to install v2.6 from https://bbpress.org/download/ in a test environment.

Just realised what might be causing some confusion but the problem still seems to exist.

I am using a plugin to hide the forums so they are private. Thats why when your not logged in you see a bbpress message that I have modified to say you need to login (Think it said there are no forums here by default).

I have now made some of the forums available to the public in the hope that might work but I just tested. Went to the site, loaded the forum, logged in, went back to the forum and I have to refresh the page/cache before I can see the form to post a new topic.

Its not just my local cache either, someone else had the same problem.

Feel like I am missing something stupid! Gravity forms is powering my registration process if that makes any difference?

[jamesp4578]

Is there a way for forum users to flag abusive posts (like a Twitter-style ‘Report tweet’ function)?

I tried the plugin “Safe Report Comments” and a later fork, but they didn’t work.

(I’m on the latest WP/bbPress.)

[jemar707]

Yes, that forced it to close. I can’t see manually doing that for many more. 40 or so, yeah no biggie. But as I move forward, that just can’t seem like any fun.

I tested to see if I could do anything with the topic now – and sure enough, it’s stuck closed. Almost seems like it is locked for editing.

[Robin W]

yes, I frequently have multiple users on different browsers on my one PC when I am testing

Hi @process_of_illumination ,
I see you have found the functions that you need.

Try to avoid adding 5 functions if you can do it in 1, so at least change it to:

add_action( 'wp_head', 'casiepa_add_noindex' );
function casiepa_add_noindex() {
  if ( bbp_is_favorites() ) {
    wp_no_robots();
  }
  if ( bbp_is_topic_tag() ) {
    wp_no_robots();
  }
  if ( bbp_is_single_user_replies() ) {
    wp_no_robots();
  }
  if ( bbp_is_single_user_profile() ) {
    wp_no_robots();
  }
  if ( bbp_is_single_user_topics() ) {
    wp_no_robots();
  }
}

Of course the shortest way would be:

add_action( 'wp_head', 'casiepa_add_noindex' );
function casiepa_add_noindex() {
  if ( bbp_is_favorites() || bbp_is_topic_tag() || bbp_is_single_user_replies() || bbp_is_single_user_profile() || bbp_is_single_user_topics() ) {
    wp_no_robots();
  }
}
