I got the importer to work, but some of the posts were under the wrong user names b/c of conflicting unique user IDs between wordpress/bbpress and the old phpbb board I tried to import.</p> <p>I haven't been able to try it yet (phpbb.com is down), but they have <a href="http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=388155&#38;sid=3d5e8f776a7086b6fec64c3e80c7cbca">a mod</a> called Change User ID that seems to do exactly what its name suggests. If so, I intend to use it to change the three user IDs that are conflicting from 2, 3, and 6 to 99992, 99993, and 99996 respectively. That way, when I import the phpbb tables there will just be "blanks" in the sequential unique user IDs for the existing wordpress IDs to fit into.</p> <p>Hope this is helpful... </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/a-phpbb-to-bbpress-database-converter#post-4240 Fri, 09 Feb 2007 05:31:17 +0000 Trent 4240@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Once again, don't think this is the case. </p> <p><a href="http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/47?replies=6#post-4238" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/47?replies=6#post-4238</a></p> <p>Trent </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/a-phpbb-to-bbpress-database-converter#post-4235 Fri, 09 Feb 2007 05:16:32 +0000 lingmiester 4235@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I tried to contact the author of this list, and his email is dead.
