Importing from phpbb3 to bbpress

Published on September 29th, 2012 by Tanya

I am going to start importing the forum from the current phpbb3 site, which is on a different hosting account, to my site and I have a few questions.

  • Do I have to export the database from the current forum and then import it?
  • I am on the Tools>Forums>Import Forums page. When it says Database Server, what do I type in here?
  • Table prefix – what do I write here?

No Avatar For New Members???

Published on September 28th, 2012 by Ian M

When new members register on my forum there is no default avatar displayed – just an ugly blank box with a missing image icon in it. Please help me to figure out how to set a default avatar.

I have searched for an answer but couldn’t make sense of anything I found. You can see the problem here: http://residentevilsix.net/members/

Install theme on make a new one

Published on September 28th, 2012 by nbtetreault

I’m trying to figure out how to install a new theme on bbPress. My bbPress is the plugin version.

In the plugin folder it says “Do not put custom themes here. They will be deleted on bbPress updates. Keep custom bbPress themes in /wp-content/themes/”.

For now I found no information ou theme to install for bbPress.

Import users on site > 1?

Published on September 27th, 2012 by Anointed

I’ve setup WordPress multisite.

Using the built in importer from vbulletin (which works great), I am curious, my forums are going to be on site #2, not my primary install site.

So if I do this, run the importer, and import all users/posts from vbulletin, the users are then added to site #2, or both site #1 and #2? (site #1 is root site)

Or:
Am I better off, this sounds stupid, importing the users/forums from vb into my root site #1, then erasing the forums/topics/replies, keeping the users, and then going to site #2 and doing a forum only import?

Goal:
Obviously I need users to be able to login to site#2, but would also like to make sure all users are able to login to the parent ‘global’ site #1.

How should I proceed?

User replies generate error msg but still post the reply

Published on September 27th, 2012 by jmm7574

(WP 3.4.1, bbPress 2.1.2, http://riseaboveindiana.com)

When I as admin — or any subscriber — posts a reply to a forum, it displays the “You don’t have permission to do that!” error message, but the reply still posts to the forum. Anonymous posting and global access are allowed.

Here’s a subscriber username for testing:
ID: bbPress
Password: bbPress

Thanks so much for your plugin and the support you provide for your users!

remove blue box

Published on September 27th, 2012 by CraigIW

Hi,

How can I remove the blue box that says “This forum contains 1 topic, and was last updated by admin 15 hours, 5 minutes ago.”, etc., using my theme? From what I can see, the code for that is in the wp-content\plugins\bbpress\bbp-includes\bbp-forum-template.php file. How can I override that? Or do I just need to directly edit it?

Thanks.

Login to View

Published on September 27th, 2012 by beerdrinkingangel

I have scoured the forum here trying to find a solution for what I think is a simple problem. My blog is public and I want my forum to be private. I would like for the unregistered user to be able to view the forum headings without actually being able to read the posts.

I’ve tried force login and forum restrict plugins. Forum restrict comes close to what I want, but not quite.

I just want them to have to create a login and sign in to view other’s postings. It doesn’t have to be super-secure, I just want them to have to make an effort.

Hope that makes sense.
