I was facing this issue due to the plugin “Search Everything”, which was recently updated.
When i deactivated the plugin, it fixed the issue. So i reverted back to the old version of that plugin.
@5lions That’s a shame. Do keep us updated.
I already installed this beta. Tomorrow, as soon as I get up, I’ll make coffee, I’ll try with those converters, but I doubt I’ll succeed … I’ll be grateful for any help shown. I think that such a “newbb” forum converter will in the future help other users. I will keep you updated on progress or lack thereof 🙂
Good morning, my name is Michael and I am writing from a distant country of Poland :). I have a website dedicated to bodybuilding based on xoops, but I will soon change to wordpress. I have converted all 1200 articles, comments and users, but I have a problem moving forums …
The newbb script is similar to phpbb, so I used the available converter in the admin panel, I modified it a little, basically the beginning of the category and description of the forum sections. It looks like:
http://www.kulturystyka.org.pl/test/forums/
Further modification of the phpBB.php file unfortunately did not produce the expected results, because the newbb script has changed a bit, and the converter in the BBpress package is probably not updated for a long time ….?
Please help me to modify this file so that it finishes work ie it has moved topics, utterances and users. Below I show how the structure of individual tables in the newbb module (xoops) looks like. I am green in terms of these matters, I am surprised myself that I have moved the forum sections. My WP version is 4.7.3
I found something like this: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/includes/admin/converters/Example.php?order=name
Yesterday and today I’m struggling with it …
I will be very, but very grateful for the help shown. Regards, Michal

HI,
Now i updated into Latest My BB.
Still I Can’t Import MYBB forum data using import forum tools within BuddyPress.
any other way.
Hi,
Before I begin, please don’t lecture me on why I should always use the latest WordPress version – let’s just say that I’m very well aware of all the usual arguments, but I’ve got a mountain of much better reasons why I don’t want to ‘upgrade’. And 3.7+ get all security updates anyway.
Anyway, I am currently successfully running 2.5.10 on WordPress 3.7.19. In the release notes for 2.5.11 you updated the minimum requirements from 3.6 to 4.2, and on the plug-in page specifies 4.7! Why does such a minor point release require such a huge jump in requirements? The only issue I have with 2.5.10 is the 3.8+-style icons (which would only require a minimum of 3.8 anyway).
Hi Stephen,
As I already stated above, I hav already updated siteurl and homeurl to HTTPS, so that’s not an issue.
I created whole new copy of the site, I activated and updated one plugin at a time. Checkign each time to make sure things were still working properly.
The problem is only between bbpress and the latest version of wordress.
this is the error I get: Warning: ksort() expects parameter 1 to be array, object given in /home/blendics/staging/2/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core/template-functions.php on line 316
Unfortunately I’m not on Facebook so I cannot see that conversation you had 🙁
Perhaps you could link to this topic in that conversation and have the WPseo plugin author join this conversation?
As to Yoast, I believe Yoast is compatible with bbPress, @joostdevalk wrote here last year “I’ll bump BBPress on to the list again, we’ve long had issues with that, we should just fix it”, I’ve no idea if anything was updated for bbPress or not, was it @joostdevalk ?
I myself don’t use any SEO plugins let alone any that you mention, we’re happy to work with any plugin author to help add support their plugin if we can.
I’m sure there are other bbPress users who do use various SEO plugins, maybe someone else here has some tips on using Yoast WordPress SEO, WPseo, or All in One SEO?
p.s. This topic is going to attract many a spammer, so if your reply doesn’t show up straight away that will be due to Akismet being proactive, if your reply doesn’t turn up straight away give it some time for the moderators to approve and move out of the spam queue.
Hi there,
while waiting for the github by @casiepa to be updated, I managed to take some time to (partially) clean what I had written so far.
I published it on a repo, just in case anybody were interested in taking a look and opening a discussion about desirable ways to approach the problem and to structure the code.
Here it is:

Hi,
According to codex https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/before-installing/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/ Moderators should be able to publish and edit forums.
This seems to be a bug cause they can’t. I’ve been reading a bunch of topics now and it seems like this has been a bug for more than FOUR YEARS. Why hasn’t codex been updated??
I’ve seen hints pointing out that moderators can actualy publish forums on front end with shortcode [bbp-forum-form] – this works but they can still not edit forums.
I’ve tried to edit the keymaster role and disable access to global forum settings but this didn’t work. There are a bunch of capabilities for every single action of bbpress. And then there is on huge capability for a monster amount of actions. This capability is keep_gate. When I disabled that for the keymaster role I managed to disable acces to global forum settings but acces to publish and edit forums was also disabled.
I want to achieve a role that has ALL the keymaster capabilities except from access to admin pages bbpress (global forum settings) and bbp-repair.
Is there anyway to do this?
Thanks!
Hi @casiepa.
Can you update the github repo with your latest updated version of the plugin?
I would love to offer my changes and additions to it.
@venutius, I agree with that. It’s a headache for activity moderators. It would be great if the published activity was updated if the bbpress topic/reply is updated.
Hi RotiSoft,
Could you provide me with a description of how you’re displaying the titles?
I’ve just recently had a longer correspondence with RobW, about what i think is the same issue.
He told me as follows:
Basically a category holds the last active ID of its sub forums, and each sub forum also holds its last active ID. But deleting a sub forum topic seems to get the category last active ID wrong.
I see that he just updated he’s bbpress style pack plugin, with a hotfix for this issue,
while he gave me the snippet of the code used for the fix, it does not work if your tweak is done if you’re using code as in this: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/freshness-link/
I don’t think Robin would mind me sharing the code snippet, as he implemented it in he’s free plugin, but as requested i would like to know how you’re displaying it.

Wordpress is 4.7.2 BBpress is the most updated version. site is http://teroromighty.com
On the main site you’ll see the bbpress login. I can log in with my account but the page will refresh and not show me the menu items that are listed to be private. (only logged in viewers)
i can log in by using the /login page and then it’ll allow you to view profile as if you’re logged in but it’s not showing the menu items profile and logout.
And account to test with is dragonchild pass Dragon13
I’m at a loss really. I’ve also got a plugin called
Oh, that is strange, can you check the contents of the following file for me on your beta 2:
bbpress/includes/admin/converter.php#L653
That line should read $max_index_length = 191;
One other thing, you might need to run the “reset forums” tool first from:
/wp-admin/tools.php?page=bbp-reset
That will delete that old table (and *all* your forum data) and make it available to be created in the updated format.
My forums were working fine but suddenly links to any of the forums are just going to “Page not found”. I’ve not changed anything on the site for ages – has the plugin updated?
The site is members only so providing a link isn’t much help.
Hi,
We are using bbPress on http://failuresrepublic.com/ and topics are not showing on single forum pages instead it shows the counts of topics as “This forum contains 1 topic and was last updated…”. Here is the URL: http://failuresrepublic.com/forums/discussions/talks/
I tried all the techniques as suggested in this thread.
Still, our issue is resolved.A help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Member, Failures Republic community
I have a Forum which shows the Last Post as being 2months 2 weeks ago. However, if you go into the forum you can see many topics have Last Post dates which are more recent.
I’ve run all of the repair jobs but nothing has changed.
Thank you, I’ll take a look at it. Maybe it’s bat that it states “Compatible up to: 4.2.11. Last Updated: 1 year ago” but maybe it still works.
Hello,
Our topics are no longer being listed on our forum except for sticky topics I believe.
Top blue box says “This forum contains 32 topics and 24 replies, and was last updated by…” but it then only lists 3 topics “Viewing 3 topics – 1 through 3 (of 3 total)”
WordPress: 4.7.1
bbPress: 2.5.12
Theme: Salutation by Parallelus v3.0.2
Please help. Thank you.
There would be two parts to this, the first I think sounds easy enough, when a user updates their profile we submit the updated user bio/description to Akismet. The second part of this is the “management” side, what to do with the profile if it fails the Akismet check 🤔
With topics and replies, in bbPress we have a new “pending” post status, similar to the “spam” post status for topics and replies awaiting some moderator action. I wouldn’t want (due to Akismet false positives) to automatically mark a user as a “spam user” solely from the Akismet response, we’d want the user flagged for follow up by a moderator or keymaster.
Anyone else have some thoughts on the workflow and how w should approach this?
Forum Discussions
here is the forum page. WP and BBpress are most updated versions
I Think if I could just get the forum pages/topic pages to be a white background, it would be fine.
I deleted bbpress via ftp, and re-installed it. It still wasn’t working, so I deleted bbpress, and I was able to log into WordPress. I found that 4 plugins, and one theme needed to be updated. So I updated everything, and re-installed bbpress. No more errors!
While this post is old, I came across this issue when using XAMPP and found the solution here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/error-are-you-sure-you-wanted-to-do-that-3/#post-142468. Once I updated my theme’s function.php file with the suggested method, all worked correctly for my local XAMPP website instance.
BTW, before adding the fix above, when attempting to create a topic or reply, I did not see any error message, in fact no message at all. The page simply reloaded and left the pending topic or reply text sitting inertly on the screen in front of me…
