Hi,

I want to test the import of my Vbulletin forum into BBPress. I have trouble with it because the data is too big and therefore I cannot import my Vbulletin data into a local database.

I would like to know which tables of VBulletin are used by the importer so that I only export those that are needed?

Does really nobody know this?

Ok, I got the idea to look at the conversion php file for VBulletin.

I found out that I need these tables:

• vb_forum
• vb_thread
• vb_post
• vb_tagcontent
• vb_tag
• vb_user

After importing and repairing everything I get just 1 reply and 1 voice in each thread. In the backend I get several replies per thread. Something is going wrong.

Any ideas on this?

Really nobody? I can’t import my VBulletin… 🙁

May anybody tell me which tables need to be imported?

What version of vBulletin are you importing from?

[squid1974]

I am on vBulletin 4.1.2 Patch Level 7

The only tables you need are the ones you listed above:

• forum
• thread
• post
• tagcontent
• tag
• user

You may have a table prefix vb_ on your tables and you enter that on the import settings ‘Table Prefix’ field.

As I’ve spent the day playing with passwords, could you please let me know if any issues with users logging into WordPress after the import? Did their existing vBulletin passwords work?

I’d also appreciate a comment on this ticket in Trac for any password issues you found.
