HI @maddogmcewan, as per my note above, I split this to a new topic as there are sure to be a couple of things that will get confusing if we continued in that same topic.

To start with you should take a look in your wp_posts table, you should be able to find bbPress three custom post types forum, topic, and reply in the post_type column.

1. Check if you indeed have some post types forum in your wp_posts table.
2. Now find a topic in the wp_posts table, look at the post_parent, the ID of that field should relate to one of the ID values of the actual forums you found in step 1.
3. Replies are the same, find a reply, look up the post_parent and check if a topic with that same ID exists.

I’m expecting you have some mismatched data from your import and it is a matter of digging in to find what is broken in the data relationships.

Thanks for the screenshots, indeed it looks like no forums or topics are actually being imported.

A quick look at your forums_forum` table leads me to the following in how the forum section of your custom importer should look like, it is not complete as you have more data that what I could see in the screenshot you posted.

		/** Forum Section *****************************************************/

		// Forum id (Stored in postmeta)
		$this->field_map[] = array(
			'from_tablename' => 'forum',
			'from_fieldname' => 'forum_id',
			'to_type'        => 'forum',
			'to_fieldname'   => '_bbp_forum_id'
		);

		// Forum parent id (If no parent, then 0, Stored in postmeta)
		$this->field_map[] = array(
			'from_tablename' => 'forum',
			'from_fieldname' => 'cat_id',
			'to_type'        => 'forum',
			'to_fieldname'   => '_bbp_forum_parent_id'
		);

		// Forum title.
		$this->field_map[] = array(
			'from_tablename' => 'forum',
			'from_fieldname' => 'f_subject',
			'to_type'        => 'forum',
			'to_fieldname'   => 'post_title'
		);

		// Forum slug (Clean name to avoid conflicts)
		$this->field_map[] = array(
			'from_tablename'  => 'forum',
			'from_fieldname'  => 'f_subject',
			'to_type'         => 'forum',
			'to_fieldname'    => 'post_name',
			'callback_method' => 'callback_slug'
		);

		// Forum description.
		$this->field_map[] = array(
			'from_tablename'  => 'forum',
			'from_fieldname'  => 'f_subject',
			'to_type'         => 'forum',
			'to_fieldname'    => 'post_content',
			'callback_method' => 'callback_null'
		);

		// Forum dates.
		$this->field_map[] = array(
			'to_type'      => 'forum',
			'to_fieldname' => 'post_date',
			'default'      => date('Y-m-d H:i:s')
		);
		$this->field_map[] = array(
			'to_type'      => 'forum',
			'to_fieldname' => 'post_date_gmt',
			'default'      => date('Y-m-d H:i:s')
		);
		$this->field_map[] = array(
			'to_type'      => 'forum',
			'to_fieldname' => 'post_modified',
			'default'      => date('Y-m-d H:i:s')
		);
		$this->field_map[] = array(
			'to_type'      => 'forum',
			'to_fieldname' => 'post_modified_gmt',
			'default'      => date('Y-m-d H:i:s')
		);

If you modify your forum section per the above I think you will find you will now have forums imported, if you have a more detailed i.e. “full” view of the forum data I can help work out what elese we can add for a more complete import, the same goes for topics, if you can add full screenshots of ALL the rows in your forums_forum and forums_topic tables I can work out what else needs to be added 🙂

Give this a try, it should work for you now 😉
