I’ve installed and activated bbpress and imported an smf forum. I then went through all the repair stages as mentioned in the documentation but no forum has appeared under ‘Forums’ although I have all the topics and replies.

Any idea why? Do I need to create a new forum area which will automatically use the topics etc?

I’ve just noticed that each section of the old smf forum has been made into a separate bbpress forum during import. These only show up as ‘scheduled’ in the bbpress forums area and none of them have any of their posts or replies attributed to them (they all apparently have zero topics or replies).

The imported topics still correctly refer to their parent forum however so why aren’t they matching up?

More info…

All forums seem to have published themselves which probably explains away the scheduled bit above. All forums are shown at ‘webitename.org/forums’ which appears to be the default and no issue with that. No topics are showing up despite them existing and publishedin the Forums > Topics area of bbpress.
When you click on a forum title the address bar adds in a level e.g ‘webitename.org/forums/forum/introductions’ which I wonder is a legacy from the import and the cause of the problems?

Help!

Another update…

Having trawled through a lot of posts and pages it seems there is an issue with WP4.0 meaning topics don’t show up. I’ve installed the fix plugin and the topics now appear.

Each forum section still shows there are no topics or posts despite them clearly being there!
