Vbulletin to BBpress conversion in Stages

Published on February 9th, 2018 by

Hi BBpress people!

Okay, it’s taken me days to go through with the conversion between vbulletin and bbpress. Until now, I have yet to see my complete forums in bbpress. The process stops eventually every time I restart.

180K Threads
4.2m Post
170 Users

What I have done is:
– copied the vbulletin site to vbulletincopy
– prune it down to 100K post (replies)
– start the conversion
– it’s taken me 8hrs and i’ve only got 18,000 replies converted.

Question 1:
How else can I do this conversion? I really want to get bbpress working.
Can I try this?:
– copy 4 or 5 copies of vbulletin db
– prune posts according to date (eg: 2018 – 2015 / 2015 – 2014)
– go through the conversion again with every “batch” and let it overwrite somehow?

Question 2:
How can I copy it in stages and let the forums operate with the latest data and I can overwrite with more old threads later?

Thanks!

Can’t see profil’s users

Published on February 9th, 2018 by pataric

When I clic on an author name on my forum, i got ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS.

That problem was for every author that I want to see the profil page on the website but by changing the link (dashboard-> settings-> permalinks) sometimes I can go on the admin profil page this way.

I try to deactivate all pluggins and changed my theme to see if it was that but nothings change.

Two Instances of BBPress?

Published on February 9th, 2018 by alananderson

Hi,
I’m a newbie!

I’m using the WordPress theme called Directory by Templatic.

Is it possible to create two DIFFERENT Forums on my site on different pages using BBPress?

Basically the one would just be a general forum while the other would have to have security features built in.

Thank you,

Alan

Can’t see BBPress in my WordPress Menu

Published on February 9th, 2018 by alananderson

Hi,
I’m a newbie!

I’m using the WordPress theme called Directory by Templatic.

I’ve just downloaded and activated BBPress but I cant find it in the WP Menu on left side of page.

Could the problem be that I already have another Forum plugin active on my site?

Thank you,

Alan

Users can’t reply to forum

Published on February 9th, 2018 by sasenzon

I just signed up 60 new users and put them in a new group and created a forum.
Whenever a user tries to post a topic or reply to my initial topic the page refreshes back to home.
bbpress – 2.5 14-6684
wp 4.9.4

Other forums I started last year seem to work fine.
The site is members.institutechiro.com

Private vs Public

Published on February 8th, 2018 by locutus1

I just need clarification on private vs public. If a forum is public, anyone can see the name of the forum and its sub-forums whether they’re logged in or not but if you enter a forum you can ONLY see the topics if you’re logged in. So you have to be logged in to see the topics. If a forum is private, you can ONLY see the name of the forum and its sub-forums if you’re logged in. Is this right?

Forums won’t display on site

Published on February 8th, 2018 by keralat

We have WordPress version 4.9.4 and tried to install bbPress on our site yesterday. Our site is http://www.oen.org

I have successfully created a forum index using shortcode and populated one forum with a topic. However, when I click on the Forum name from the index, I get taken to a page that merely includes our nav menu and footer (see screenshots below). I cannot get to a page that displays the forum topics. Any ideas what might be going on?

How to Sort Ascending in 1 Forum Only

Published on February 8th, 2018 by jemar707

I am trying to set the sort order alphabetical for only 1 of our forums, leaving the rest as default. I tried a function that I found in another thread below, but it resulted in all the topics just disappearing.

/*
//* Change sort order of Topics within a specified bbpress forum
function my_custom_display_topic_index_query ($args) {
$thisforumid = bbp_get_forum_id();

if($thisforumid == 15283) {
$args[‘orderby’] = ‘date’;
$args[‘order’] = ‘ASC’;
}

return $args;
}
add_filter(‘bbp_before_has_topics_parse_args’, ‘my_custom_display_topic_index_query ‘ );
*/
