How can we edit the edit my profile link in admin bar so that it can redirect to wp-admin/profile.php. How can we redirect edit link in my profile page.

Hi Moderator,

I am currently using Mingle forum and it has been giving me alot of Respond 500 error. I wish to change to bbPress. However, I am facing issue of importing.

I go to tools, import forums. However, I do not know what to key in for the following fields

1) Database Name
2) Database User
3) Database Password

Where can I get them?

Please help as its urgent.

WordPress 3.9.1
TwentyTen with some CSS modification
bbPress 2.5.4

This what my bbPress looks like now

This is close to what I want my bbPress installation to look like I didn’t pull the line spaces together in the image.

I may be completely wrong and these settings may all be controlled by the TwentyTen theme and WordPress. In either case I’ll do the work if somebody can just point me to the right information so I can learn.

Make the forum’s Search window persistent, available from within all forums.

Move the Forum Title and the Search Window so they are parallel and within 20 pixels or less of main menu (white on black menu).

Make the Categories’ and Forums’ names BOLD and make them 1.00 line or less apart from their descriptions which should NOT be bold.

Instead of a specific pixel width can the area of the post to the BBS be calibrated in percent or at least be 640px or even better 800px width?

Finally, why are my category and forum names duplicated?

I am looking for a good plug in for the a customized registration form that will allow front end user registration. The simplr form plug in I just found out is broken 3.9.1 Thanks in advance

I started a similar topic on wordpress.org – but I wasn’t sure where the best place would be (here I suppose!)

I’ve done some Googling here, and I’ve found a few topics that apparantly fix this, but…I’m not seeing the same info in my own site (the database info that theyre referring to isnt there..) I’m sure someone will point me to those older posts 😛

So I want to start with a fresh question – I want to start TOTALLY fresh with BBPRess, so I deleted the forums and whatnot and then uninstalled BBPress…later I reinstalled it but on the main dashboard I see this in one of the little info boxes on the right hand side: “Right now in Forums” and then it shows a few forums and topics, etc, that don’t exist…I want to remove those. Is there any way to do that?

I tried looking in the database through PHPMyAdmin and I don’t see anything named “bb_” to delete, so what’s the next step? :/

Thanks SO much in advance.

I’m using the latest version of WP and BBPress, btw and the twenty fourteen theme, if any of that helps.

My bbpress forum tags are separate from normal WordPress post tags.
Is these any way i could combine both so that if i add a tag for example “health” in normal WordPress post it would also be seen as tags in forums. If a user clicks on a tag he gets results from both normal WordPress posts and forum posts as well.

if i use bbpress topics for posts how do i remove the bbpress header when ever its on blog posts only?

Hey,

I successfully imported my Vanilla Forum. But what its missing are my forums. I got 7 categories in my old Vanilla forum but 0 forums after the import.

Here https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/vanilla/
Here it says “Forum ‘Categories’ are imported as a ‘Forum’”

Do I miss something here?
Thanks for your help!

I have started www.sacredandsequential.org just recently, and I am trying to move over the forums from www.captionbox.net. Both domains are running WordPress 3.9.1 and the bbPress 2.5.4. The forums can be found at http://www.captionbox.net/forums/forum/empanelment/

After going to Tools -> Forums and selecting the Import Forums tab, I am entering what I believe to be all of my correct database information. (The only info I am uncertain of is the Table Prefix, but I have tried wp_bb_, forums_, forum_, and even utf8_ to no avail.)

Would anyone have advice as to what I’m overlooking or how to remedy this? I would rather not abandon all the discussions we’ve had leading up to this new site!

Please help!

None of the links work I followed all of the steps indicated here https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/#3-%C2%A0creating-a-forum-page

It is not a compatibility issue because even before I had someone add the DIVI theme to the CSS for me the links were not working and I thought that it was because it was not incorporated into my theme.

My website is thecatholicwoman.com
