Hi, I’m trying to import a Vanilla forum db into my new BBPress install (2.5.4 on WP 4.0.1) and it silently hangs during the conversion of topics.
I’ve debugged the code and I suspect it’s getting stuck when it tries to parse the HTML into BBPress. Is this a known issue at all? Is there something I can do to prep the incoming data perhaps?
I’m open to hacking the core of the importer here, I only need to get it working once.
TL;DR How do I make the forum open so everyone can read an view topics without being logged in?

Im developing a forum with BBpress, but im having trouble viewing topic when im not logged in. I develop with two browsers open one logged in to the wp-admin and one for viewing without being logged in and I can view everything except when I go in to a topic to view the comments. How can I make the forum open for everyone to view, but only logged in users can comment?
Hello,
It’s my first time on this forum…
This is my problem :
I don’t want to insert a Connection widget on a side bar.I’d rather like to use short codes.
I already know these following shortcodes :
– Display the login screen.
– Display the register screen.
– Display the lost password screen.
But I’d like a shortcode to sign out. I didn’t find it. Does it exist ?
Thank you very much for your help…

When someone posts, the first post layout is fine. Any reply after though, the avatar and name is at the bottom of the screen?

I checked it with live preview on twentyfifteen and its fine, perhaps I can override the them of just the forum ?
any help would be appreciated
Hey guys! First off awesome and amazing plugin, love all the community support. But I seem to be stuck on how to do something and i wonder if its possible. (well it has to be… just matters on how difficult this is.
Im wanting a PHP form, that a user fills out to auto generate a Topic in a form. Simply making it in essence be a few questions (like an application) and when the user hits submit it will auto generate a Topic with the requested information.
Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!
I am having problems with users and myself posting youtube urls in the forum I made for this. What is happening is when me or someone else posts the video they want to show it takes the newest video from their/my channel and plays that. Instead the video playing the url they/me paste.
How is this problem fixed? It has not done this forever just started.
Okay, I broke it.
I imported a phpbb forum into bbpress. Nice. We had a number of older threads with a post at the beginning and a bunch of replies. I used a conversion tool to convert the topics to posts — so the initial topic of each thread is now converted to a post.
For this site, this was powerful good. Magic. Yay…
Except that now the users wonder what happened to all of those replies. We’re using a plugin that uses bbpress to integrate the comments on the posts…so, now having their cake, they want to eat it, too.
I can see in the back end that the replies are still all there. I’ve picked at a couple and moved and merged and fiddled and got them where I wanted them. Generated a mismatch warning at one point, but it all connected back up.
But the process is insanely slow.
I used the auto-create to create new topics in the forum for each of the posts (converted topics). So each of the ones I converted to a post now HAS a master topic in the forum, but the replies aren’t attached.
They aren’t visible on the front end, either.
In retrospect, this was pretty stupid. Looking at about 800 replies. My current workflow takes me around 15 minutes to reattach one. Not going to happen.
Thoughts?
Is there a way to create a NEW TOPIC button at the top of each forum page that will automatically create a new topic in whichever forum the user is currently viewing ?
Also, is there a way to setup a REPLY button on the top of each forum post?

Does anyone have a idea how to fix it?
Greetings & I appreciate any help!
About one week ago, my bbPress forum stopped working. I get a 404 when trying to access the root folder of the forum. When I try to follow links to topics, they do work. But replying or navigating to the root via links does not work.
I have bbPress 2.5.4 and WordPress 4.1
How do I trouble shoot this?
