I’m migrating from a vbulletin forum (3.x) and I’ve figured out how to do a bit of customization, bringing over custom fields in the user table. But one thing I’m having a tough time figuring out is how to bring in the first_name and last_name to the usermeta table.

For some reason, the following does not work:

		// fx: last name Stored in usermeta)
		$this->field_map[] = array(
			'from_tablename' => 'user',
			'from_fieldname' => 'lastname',
			'to_type'        => 'user',
			'to_fieldname'   => 'last_name'
		);

But the following does:

		// fx: last name Stored in usermeta)
		$this->field_map[] = array(
			'from_tablename' => 'user',
			'from_fieldname' => 'lastname',
			'to_type'        => 'user',
			'to_fieldname'   => 'fx_last_name'
		);

Simply by changing “last_name” to “fx_last_name” it works. I’d prefer to have it bring it in as the WordPress defaults. I understand I can force a move into the correct field once I import, but as I’ll have about 24 hours on the migration day, i’d love to get it accomplished in the import script.

Thanks for any insights.

Hi,
I am volunteering on a not for profit site running wordpress 4.0.1, bbpress 2.5.4, s2member pro 141007

I have yet to be able to see any of the forums, topics etc as all I get is a 404 error. I have ready through the info about this issue and tried everything suggested, including the two plugins that are supposed to fix it to no avail.

I do have pretty links turned on, I do have a “Forums” page and have tried it with and without a shortcode to pull up the forums and it just shows the shortcode and never the forum. The only way I get get anything to show is to use the “ugly” link to the forums but none of the links work from
http://ontariodoulas.org/?post_type=forum

Any ideas on where to go from here? Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

Hi all,

I’ve been trying to import my forum from phpbb 3.1.1 (no mod or themes) to bbpress 2.5.4.

I used row limits 50 and delay time 2. Database settings looks to be ok.

Problem is following code that appears on every line:
‘Warning: set_time_limit() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/int2000/d/xxxxx/html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/converter.php on line 306 Warning: set_time_limit() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/int2000/d/xxxxx/html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/converter.php on line 306’

Conversion goes till end and following message will appear:
‘Repair any missing information: Continue’
‘SELECT convert(forums.forum_id USING “utf8”) AS forum_id,convert(forums.parent_id USING “utf8”) AS parent_id,convert(forums.forum_topics USING “utf8”) AS forum_topics,convert(forums.forum_posts USING “utf8”) AS forum_posts,convert(forums.forum_topics_real USING “utf8”) AS forum_topics_real,convert(forums.forum_name USING “utf8”) AS forum_name,convert(forums.forum_desc USING “utf8”) AS forum_desc,convert(forums.left_id USING “utf8”) AS left_id,convert(forums.forum_type USING “utf8”) AS forum_type,convert(forums.forum_status USING “utf8”) AS forum_status FROM phpbb_3forums AS forums LIMIT 0, 100’

What am I doing wrong?

I just converted my Invision Power Board community to bbPress. Over 4000 members. The problem is, about 1/2 of them have spaces in their usernames so get 404 errors on their profile pages.

How do I fix this?

Just looking for opinions.

Should the bbPress instance of my website run over SSL ?
Do most of you purchase an SSL for your forums ?

Thanks, dave

Hey I need help, when I go to site.com/forums nothing is showing up. I cannot figure it out. Any help would be appreciated.

Legacy downloads page no longer offer all the versions of the standalone bbpress. I’m still running a forum on 0.9.0.2 and I would need 1.0.3 version as a middle step on way to upgrade to 1.2 and all the way to current version.

If any of you had .zip for 1.0.3 it would be a great help!

I know we’ll break all the internal links on the forum during the upgrade from standalone to plugin or is the a solution for that somewhere?

How can I add a button next to favorite and subscribe buttons on a forum post? Iv searched everywhere and cant find a similar question. Is there a functions code I could add?

WordPress 4.0
bbPress 2.5.4

Hi,
in admin toolber, I would disable the section about buddyPress, I detected it by css code:
ul#wp-admin-bar-my-account-buddypress.

Can I hide it?

Thanks.

If site have enabled option

Allow link notifications from other blogs (pingbacks and trackbacks)

Then if you try to create a post with links to your forum topics WordPress creates comments for… topics. I guess this is a bug, because comments not showing on topics pages.
