Reply To: vbulletin 3.x import
The import is still occuring, and I know with 1.8 million posts it will take while. It already converted users and topics. Now it is creating a series of dashed lines. ———————-
I too experienced this issue, basically your wp-admin becomes stale and logs you out or kills your connection. Install a refresher in your browser, such as this one:
then open a DIFFERENT page for your wp-admin (NOT the one doing the importing!) and set it to fresh every 3 minutes (alter the length depending on your own needs). This keeps WP from logging you out or killing the DB connection and lets it continue running throughout the day/night without needing to babysit it.
