Hmm. No one who have same issues to this? Or a solution or a thought of what it might be?
I have the same issue. Can anyone help point me in the right direction to avoid it happening if I re-import?
Presumably there is something ‘odd’ about the field mapping, but where to look?
Is there something we can do that might encourage someone to reply to us regarding this issue?
Even a simple “sorry we can’t help you” would at least let us know where we stand.
Moderator, I think redkrayola’s reply is spam???
Is there anyone moderating these pages?
And please…. can anyone help with this SMF import problem…?????
@kiwi3685
what importer did you use , the one listed in tools>forums Import??
because i see the bbPress one doesnt have much information in the codex and it is still in beta testing.
this could work or not , im only guessing to try to help
what you could try is go to tools>forums Repair forums and check
Remap existing users to default forum roles
and see if that fixes it.
there is also a ticket on the importer for SMF
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2380
Thanks. Nice to at least get a response, so your thoughts are appreciated.
However, the ticket you refer to is closed. The file in latest bbPress download matches the final version (smf3.php) available there, so I’m sure it’s reasonable to assume the code is the latest available.
But while waiting for some help I did some further digging in my smf database. I found one user with an invalidly formatted user_id. After removing that the import worked.
Regarding “Remap existing users to default forum roles”, the import instructions recommend running ALL repair functions after importing, which I did at every import attempt.

glad you solved your own issue.
