I am in the process of converting my vBulletin 4.x site over to WordPress/bbPress and it’s not going as smoothly as I’d hoped.
Using the built-in converter, it has stalled several times…although when I stop and restart it, it seemed to pick up where it left off.
It looks like it did the users, forums, and topics fine (approx 100,000 topics) but when it went through the replies, it only got up to the 1500 – 1599 range and now it’s putting dashes across the output box. If I stop it and restart it, it goes back to outputting dashes.
I’ve done a lot of searching here, but I can’t seem to find info on what exactly the output messages mean. Do the dashes mean it’s still doing something? or should I trash this import and start new? maybe with lower limits?
Background info:
There’s approximately 600,000 posts on my vBulletin installation.
Running Apache 2.2.17, MySQL 5.0.67, and PHP 5.2.17
WordPress 3.6
bbPress 2.3.2
Thanks,

Hi,
Is there a way or some plugin available to link wordpress posts and bbpress topics? So that a post in wordpress has a link to bbpress topic.
Can I import/copy categories from wordpress installation (Same installation have bbpress installed) in bbpress as Forums/Category? Is there any plugin available for this?
Also, if posts can be imported as topics?
I get email on new replies and posts. But, the URL is not correct. I get a 404 when I click it
http://www.xxxxxxxxx.com/?post_type=reply&p=703
The actual URL is http://www.xxxxxxx.com/forums/topic/where-is-it-yay-and-nay/#post-703
The email leaves out the site, location. (forum ), topic, topic name
How do I fix this?
WordPress version: 3.6
bbPress 2.3.2
Site url: http://www.rubycore-ng.com/blog/forum/
I wanted to create a custom bbPress theme, i followed the instructions here:’ Step-by-Step Guide to Creating a Custom bbPress Theme’. Having copied the following assets from the bbpress>template>default folder to my child theme:
1-bbpress folder
2-extras folder
3-js folder
4-bbpress-functions.php
I am still unable to override the styles in the default bbpress.css file.
I would appreciate clues on how to approach this.
Regards.
i am posting this problem again because no one seems to have responded to an earliest try by another poster.
i am running wp locally on mac using the bitNamiStack for wp2.6
i have installed the bbPress plugin v.2.3.2
when i try to create a topic from the front end i get this error message in a pink box:
**ERROR: Are you sure you wanted to do that?**
and the post doesn’t go up.
i read in another post in response to this problem, that i should change the port to 80 instead of 8080. when i try that apache starts and quickly shuts up.
btw, there’s another irritation message when i post as keymaster or admin, in a yellow box:
**Your account has the ability to post unrestricted HTML content.**
wonder how i can get rid of that.
many thanks for your help.
Hi ,
I have installed your forum in my site. http://e-orchids.com/clients/mockexam/forums/
but sidemenu is not enabled. Why its disabled? . Please find the solution
Thanks
We have bbpress forums installed on our website www.hphe.net The forums look great, but when I want to click on a paritulcar user’s profile, the text of the information is overlapping–as if everything is being crammed into the left side of the page. It looks like the screen view needs to expand, but I don’t know how to do that for profile pages.
I am very much in the beginning stages of learning about code…using WordPress so I wouldn’t really have to deal with any code, but I’m seeing that it would be handy in a number of instances. Any help needs to be explained to me in the most basic of terms. :\
Thanks for any help.
Has anyone found a solution that will upload images to posts from the iPhone or other mobile devices? Thanks.
Is there a way to show more levels of the forum hierarchy in the Forum Index? For example, right now I see the top-level forums/categories, and one level below them. How do I show the next level as well?
Thanks.
