I was not able to use the previous phpBB importer as it was failing right at the start. This new version seems to work better! However, I have some comments about this.

1/ A possible problem.

Here is my log (which I paused in the end):

2/ Feature Request

Because I was not able to previously import content I came up with a new simplified set of forum categories etc in my bbPress forum. Therefore, ideally I would love to be presented with a list of forums that are going to be imported so that I can map them to the existing forums I have created. So some would be merging several into one if that makes sense.

At the moment (even though I hit stop on point 9) I was able to view the forum and could seem many boards imported – a quick look it looked great. It is just that I wanted control over how the topics were imported. Thus my idea for the mapping from old forums to current forums.

Can this be done?

Please let me know if I need to give more info.

I don’t know if this should be a “trac ticket” or not.

Well done guys.

PS. The related question (which can be closed and linked to this new one is: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/importing-from-phpbb-5/).

I don’t really know what to do as I only came on board within the last month. So 420 tweaks – ooer!

I have been providing feedback about features but sometimes they seem to go unanswered (not just for me). I understand why. But you specifically want feedback. Is that feedback in the repository?

Details here: https://bbpress.org/blog/2019/11/bbpress-2-6/

We have shortcodes for the login and password reset process.

The login form has a logout button that avoids the confirmation prompt.

The default logout experience asks the user to confirm.

What would be nice is ability for a logout shortcode that we can put on our own page so that the question is asked consistent with the theme.

I am using My Theme Login plugin so I can specify what page to use for logout.

As mentioned, the login form is avoiding the prompt but it would be nice if it was optional to show the prompt and that it could be done on our own page.

I pulled down the latest from the repo because I saw quite a bit of work was going on… Very excited to see the movement, and wanting to get in on the testing to be sure things are working ok. Maybe I jumped in the middle of some commits and that is my problem, but…

I am updating an earlier v2.6 dev release, which was working fine. But after doing the update and starting to test, a rather large error showed up on the first page where the shortcode

I was trying to track this down via WP-CLI, but doing the shortcode from there, or even calling bbp_list_formums() is returning nothing at all, so the context must not be set up properly. I can’t figure out how to use that as a debugging path, and don’t really know offhand what is the right way.

If this isn’t the right location in the forums here, please let me know which section is better. 🙂

After all this time could we finally be there?

Hi

Are we going to see any updates to the latest version of BB Press any time soon?

WP Version 5.2.4
bbPress Version 2.5.14
bbp style pack Version 4.3.2

When logged in, the main nav is showing “Edit Profile” and links to
…/forumslug/users/emailgmail-c*o*m/edit (added * to get this to post)

Two questions:
* How do I remove this from the menu?
(I have checked the main menu and it’s not showing this item under Appearance > Menus
I have deactivated all plugins… also tried wp2019 theme … no change)
*When that menu item is clicked, it reaches this page…
“Sorry, This Page Is Gone.
The page you are trying to view no longer exists or has been moved. You may try the search form below to find it.”
Why is this link incorrect and can it be corrected?

I use a shortcode for the forum user profile and works and the link is this…
…/forumslug/users/emailgmail-c*o*m (added * to get this to post)
(the “… /edit” is missing from this link and it works)

Mahalo!

Hi, I’ve been using the importer to import a Simple Press forum, all the content seems to go correctly, however it’s not importing the forum groups of forums, so I end up with a huge list of topics that aren’t categorised.

Can anybody point me in the direction of how to resolve this?

Thanks.

WP Version 5.2.4
bbPress Version 2.5.14
bbp style pack Version 4.3.2

With bbp style, I have tried the Gravatar option for User’s avatars.
It seems it will be too complicated for many.

What is the best option to setup self-uploads for avatars for the forum?
And, to change out the default avatar for the forum with a custom one?
