Exporting posts….

Hi – I am migrating over to Vanilla (don’t ask, long story). I want to export a bunch of posts – just the post title, content, and user. Anything will do, even a Text file. Is there an easy way to do this?

Thanks!

That solution isn’t really possible if you’ve made changes to the them since installing buddypress. At least I can’t imagine how. I have a similar situation – trying to get rid of buddy press but terrified that pulling it out is going to screw the rest of the site… Is there a more foolproof way […]

Anyone know of a plugin that will let me change the author and date of forum posts? I have done an import from bbpress and everything got attributed to the wrong users. Doing this via phpMyAdmin will be a crazy nightmare.

I did an import from bbpress and now all my topics are mislabled – attibuted to random users and not the correct ones. Is there a plugin I can use to change the name on posts? What about editing the “posted on” date? Thanks!

Why does this How-To and Troubleshooting section run like one long conversation? Why can’t I start a new topic? Is this the way BP is supposed to be?

I’m not too fond of the default avatars. Is there a way to change those defaults?

HI there. I deactivated BuddyPress as well as the Buddy Press Template Pack. However, my index.php “main index template” is still polluted somehow by Buddy Press. If I look at it in the Theme Editor, it contains all kinds of references to BuddyPress. How did this template get changed? I did not do it, somehow […]

okay great… but, what if I just want to keep it off *some* pages?

nickaster posted on the forum topic What happened to my index.php template? in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 14 years, 5 months ago

Right… so what are my options for moving these edits back? I do have backups of my templates, can I just overwrite them after getting rid of buddypress? More importantly, what happened to my index.php file? It’s now just a bunch of incomprehensible php… even though, if I FTP into the main directory, I still […]

Okay – Thanks! here’s a second question to follow up. I see that buddypress creates some kind of dropdown menu set of options across the top of all pages. What if I dont’ want that at all? I’d rather only have options like that in a sidebar on the bbpress part of my site. I […]

HI there – I’m debating whether I really need buddy press. I have installed bbpress and it’s working pretty well. It’s not exactly feature-rich, but seems decent. What does buddypress really do that bbpress doesn’t do already? The things I’d really like are: 1) Facebook connect – is this possible? 2) Better profiles – with […]

nickaster posted on the forum topic What happened to my index.php template? in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 14 years, 5 months ago

Anyone understand what I”m talking about? My index.php is no longer editable from inside WP – it’s almost as if there are two of them now. Why did this happen? What’s it mean?

nickaster posted on the forum topic What happened to my index.php template? in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 14 years, 5 months ago

Right – so I found it but I have to bloody FTP into my server to get to it? WHat the heck is buddypress doing here? If I go into my theme editor in wordpress, the only index.php file I see is some buddypress shenenegins, and not my real front page. Am I going to […]

Dear god – I just installed buddypress and it “converted” my theme. I have no idea what that means, but now my index.php template is completely different. The site itself looks fine but when I enter my editor there’s no trace of my index…. what the heck happened?

nickaster posted on the forum topic Where are the forums located? in the group Installing BuddyPress: 14 years, 5 months ago

okay, I see. So, I have forums then, and they work just fine. But where is the buddypress magic? How does it change bbpress? My understanding is that buddypress will allow for much more interesting interaction between registered users that bbpress can’t do on it’s own. How do I get these features activated and working? […]

So I installed this and now need to know… where the heck is it? Where’s the forum? I don’t see any ability to create a URL for the forum, for example. Do I need to totally re-do my entire site to take advantage of this thing? All I want to do is run a forum.

nickaster posted on the forum topic So… where is it? Is this a joke? in the group Installing BuddyPress: 14 years, 5 months ago

Thanks… okay so yeah bbpress has been integrated for a while, except I never really got into using it, so I don’t mind nuking if it I have to to get this started over. So – the short answer that I need is – what’s the best way to get a halfway decent forum up […]
