I only had one post with comments I cared about, so in the end I ran it via a sql command
insert into wp_posts (post_author, post_date, post_date_gmt, post_modified, post_modified_gmt, post_content, post_category, post_status, comment_status, ping_status, post_parent, post_type, comment_count) select user_id as post_author, comment_date as post_date, comment_date_gmt as post_date_gmt, comment_date as post_modified, comment_date_gmt as post_modified_gmt, comment_content as post_content, 0 as post_category, “publish” as post_status, “closed” as comment_status, “closed” as ping_status, 437 as post_parent, “reply” as post_type, 0 as comment_count from wp_comments where comment_post_ID=5
followed by an update wp_posts to set post_name, guid and menu_order, and then a ‘fix forums’ for good luck
That’s lovely for posts, but comments don’t follow suit 🙁
But I can’t seem to bring across the comments to be replies from the topics?
I’d love there to be somewhere to turn comments into replies, but it ain’t in settings > discussion.
I’ve googled lots of “import/convert wordpress comments to bbpress topics/replies” and got nowhere. The stumbling block being that WP comments are in wp_comments and bbpress replies are in wp_posts.
Anyone got a good solution for this?
