bbPress.org

Hi everyone, I searched to see if anyone else had this problem and didn’t find anything that matched exactly, so if the topic DOES exist and I missed it, I do apologize.

I have a site where I installed bbpress back in August of last year. Everything was working fine but the company was not utilizing the forums so they basically sat there un-noticed/unused.

The company has now decided that they are going make a push to their employees to start using them. When I went to look at them today, I noticed that while all of the forums are still there, the topics are gone. At first, when I went into the Admin Dashboard, under the forums, there were counts listed under the “Topics” column but when I went to topics, nothing was there.

I then went and reset the permalinks and still nothing. Ran the forum cleanup tool and then when I went back, the “Topics” column under forums shows all zeros.

There was not a ton of content there and I can re-enter it all, but the concern I have is that of where did they go? I know the client will be asking this and then the obvious follow-up of “will this happen again?”

Any help anyone can give me would be great. Naturally, I would prefer to recover the info if at all possible.

Running the latest version of bbpress (2.3.1).

Thanks,
