Hello,

I try to import my phpBB 3.2.0 (latest stable version) to bbPress (latest version 2.5.12) using the default import tool in the WordPress 4.7.2 backend. The phpBB is clean, no mods / plugins or custom styles. I get this error:

Repair any missing information: Continue

WordPress database error: [Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000 bytes]
CREATE TABLE MNmAD_bbp_converter_translator ( meta_id mediumint(8) unsigned not null auto_increment, value_type varchar(25) null, value_id bigint(20) unsigned not null default ‘0’, meta_key varchar(255) null, meta_value varchar(255) null, PRIMARY KEY (meta_id), KEY value_id (value_id), KEY meta_join (meta_key(191), meta_value(191)) ) DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_520_ci;

No data to clean

Starting Conversion

I don’t know any MySQL so I don’t understand what to do. If relevant here the collations used: utf8_bin (phpBB) and utf8mb4_general_ci (WordPress).

Any suggestions?

My forums were working fine but suddenly links to any of the forums are just going to “Page not found”. I’ve not changed anything on the site for ages – has the plugin updated?

The site is members only so providing a link isn’t much help.

I deployed the bbpress plugin.
on the Lost Password page, using the Lost password shortcode, I cannot finalise the action to do a lost password. get an error message that says that captcha has not been entered.
Problem: captcha is not even on the screen.
Note: it is however on the WordPress Lost Password screen.

Any help on how to get the captcha feature on the Lost password bbpress functionality?

Hi, can’t provide link to page because it’s a private / paid site: fapsa.org.uk

When I try to go to Forums I get ‘HTTP ERROR 500’ and this in my error log:

[30-Jan-2017 18:21:55 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class WP_Taxonomy in /home/fapsa******/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/bb-includes/backpress/class.wp-taxonomy.php on line 17

Any suggestions?

BuddyPress: 2.7.4
WordPress: 4.7.2

I think the problem is that I’ve been using legacy Forums in BuddyPress. Is there any way to transfer them across to bbPress?

We’re looking to add a Forum feature for premium users and provide a seamless experience (e.g. once they login to the app, they’re automatically logged in to the forum as well). We don’t have a forum software yet and that’s one of the things we’re looking into.

Do you provide an SDK/API that we can use so we can build out a forum feature right inside our app without having to take the user to a different app?

Hello,

I’m currently using a plugin to show the activity-stream. There is a parameter called include, where I can choose for a activity_group id, this way I can show only ‘updates’ instead of everything.

I looked everywhere but I cant seem to find the activity_group id to only show updates.
Does someone know the id for updates?

Good morning, this morning I decided to check how my site loads from all around the world and the report showed up error notifications:

—

after clicking on the error it says that bspstyle.css returns 404 (not found)
> screenshot:

There are no posts here on this topic and decided to start one here. Google returns a lot of issues after “bspstyle.css not found”.

What is the solution to this problem?

thank you in advance and, of course, huge tx for the creator of bbp style pack,

Hello,
I’m curious how I can get my forum to display subforum links. I’m not really sure how to describe this one but let me try.

Category A – >
Forum A
Forum B – >
Subforum A
Forum C

I want my main loop, that displays Category A – >
Forum A
Forum B
Forumc C

To show my subforum as links, under Forum B.

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks for the help in advance.

Whenever a user tries to register to participate in the forums, they are told:

Registration complete. Please check your email.

Registration is approved by CleanTalk.

As administrator, I then receive an email confirming that a new user has registered and I can see that user in the system. However, they never receive the promised e-mail to complete the registration process. I’ve tried this myself and can confirm there is no e-mail being sent using an e-mail address that I know to work). It isn’t being received and put into a SPAM folder either.

Is this a known issue? Is there a known solution?

I’m running a website with two private groups, and I’ve run into a snag. It turns out that all logged in users can also see topics posted into private forums in the “recent topics” widget, even if they are not member of a private group. Naturally if they click on these topics, they cannot see the contents of the thread, but the topic titles occasionally do leak information that they shouldn’t be able to see.

Is this a known bug with the bbpress “recent topics” widget? Is there a way of fixing this?

I’m running wordpress 4.7.2, buddypress 2.7.4, and bbpress 2.5.12 (also jetpack, askimet, and wordfence, at their latest versions). Happy to provide more information if need be.

Thanks in advance for any help!
