Reply To: WP Symposium converter for bbPress
It looks like we won’t get the threaded replies in v1, I had a similar issue with vBulletin 5 and which is not included in bbPress at this stage. Trying to get a single query to handle all of the replies doesn’t look good at the moment for WPS.
You can take a look at the vBulletin5.php importer, rather than just ‘Forums’, ‘Topics’ and ‘Replies’ sections I had to add a 4th, ‘Comments’ this then meant I had to extend the main converter to handle this extra step.

I’ll have a think about this over the next couple of days and come up with some options, there is a chance I can add this extra section to bbPress and then included WPS threaded replies, vBulletin5.php in the next version of bbPress. There is just a ton of testing needed to ensure the ~20 other importers continue to work and fix any issues that arise…
