Reply To: Tough migration
Stephen my rant was no way a slight against you and your work, assuming you’re the lead programmer? I know it’s been a hard road, I’ve been using bbpress since version .9, and seen a few leads over the years.
I didn’t take it that way at all 🙂
@JohnJamesJacoby is the lead developer, I’ve just hitched along for the ride since trying to migrate from phpBB to bbPress didn’t work, I do far more than just the import side of things now, I’m still learning PHP and constantly finding more and more ways to improve bbPress.
Much to my delight, the posts in the wp category were not deleted, just the category itself. So I just recreated the category and put those posts in it again.
Excellent
But the tags in the wordpress site were definitely overwritten in the migration, including any custom taxonomies using the same slugs.
Ok, that’s a problem, it is also a scenario I haven’t tried and or thought of even though bbPress does register its own custom taxonomy. I’ll take a look at doing some imports with existing taxonomies in WordPress (tags/categories) and see what happens.
I also hope for a bright bbPress future and I have a pretty big wish list for it also, some documented around the place, some not 🙂
