I tried to import Phpbb forum to bbpress, with the import tool :

http://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/

I disable Forums and start the process, and i have this :

“Repair any missing information: Continue

Conversion Complete

No replies to convert

No tags to convert

No topics to convert

No forum parents to convert

No forums to convert

No passwords to clear

No users to convert

Starting Conversion
”

My informations :

- phpBB

- Port : 3306

- Name BDD : The name in my wp-config (i use the same base for forum and a wordpress installation)

- Name user BDD : The user in my wp-config

- Pass : The Pass in my wp-config

- Prefix : PhpBB3

and Start.

I show all the informations many times and they are all right… I don’t understand where is the problem.

Thanks for your responses

- Name BDD : The name in my wp-config (i use the same base for forum and a wordpress installation)

- Name user BDD : The user in my wp-config

- Pass : The Pass in my wp-config

These are your WordPress settings, you need to use your phpBB database name, database user & database user password.

In Fact, this Name BDD, Name user and passe for a wordpress installation and my phpbb forum.

You can also get the correct settings from your phpBB config file via FTP to your site or via your web host file manager for your phpBB install. /public_html/phpbbv3/config.php

`// phpBB 3.0.x auto-generated configuration file
// Do not change anything in this file!
$dbms = ‘mysqli’;
$dbhost = ”;
$dbport = ”;
$dbname = ‘my_phpbb_database_name’;
$dbuser = ‘my_database_user_name’;
$dbpasswd = ‘mypassword’;
$table_prefix = ‘phpbb_’;
$acm_type = ‘file’;
$load_extensions = ”;

@define(‘PHPBB_INSTALLED’, true);
// @define(‘DEBUG’, true);
// @define(‘DEBUG_EXTRA’, true);
`

Copy the $dbname, $dbuser, $dbpasswd & $table_prefix values from this file into the bbPress import settings

Last Thing :

When i import a forum, is there my database in phpbb3 is erased ? Or i can do the transfert many times i want ?

[Stephen EdgarModerator @netweb 3 months, 3 weeks ago]

Your phpBB database is NOT erased, you can reset bbPress and import from phpBB as many times as you want.

It is still advisable to make backups of everything still.

Thanks for your responses. Last Thing : Is this possible to migrate the forum bbpress (forums), to the buddypress’s system (group-forums) ? I like the presentation and plugins buddypress, so i wanted to manage forums with buddypress system.

[Stephen EdgarModerator @netweb 3 months, 2 weeks ago]

No, migrating bbPress forums to BuddyPress’ is not something we have looked at yet…

It has come up a couple of times now and might be something we can look at in the future.
