bbPress support forums » Installation

   I administer a phpbb forum that we are considering migrating to new software. As I'm pretty familiar with WordPress I thought this might be a good option, but I wanted to double check and ask a couple questions:

   1) Can bbPress import my phpbb database? What info am I liable to lose?

   2) My forum has a public section, a private section, and a superprivate section for admins and such. Does bbpress support this sort of thing? We govern who can go where with groups and permissions in phpbb, but I'm concerned that it wouldn't translate.

   Thanks!

   Many people have posted about phpBB. Just click the tag you added phpBB and you'll see lots of discussion.

   Here are a couple:

   http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/a-phpbb-to-bbpress-database-converter

   RE: public, private and superprivate forums:
   http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/hidden-forums/

   That enables you to hide forums based on roles.
