I’m having the opposite issue. Our forum is really old and really full. Anytime someone replies, it carries them back to page 1. I don’t want to use threaded replies, because these guys are old and are used to phpBB (that’s what we migrated from). I just want it so that when someone replies, it goes to the last page and not back to the beginning. They are getting confused.
if it helps, this is the error i get when using the phpbb converter that comes with the installation of bbPress 2.5.14…
WordPress database error: [Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000 bytes]
CREATE TABLE wp_bbp_converter_translator ( meta_id mediumint(8) unsigned not null auto_increment, value_type varchar(25) null, value_id bigint(20) unsigned not null default '0', meta_key varchar(255) null, meta_value varchar(255) null, PRIMARY KEY (meta_id), KEY value_id (value_id), KEY meta_join
hey there. So I’ve been trying to get the import to work for a few weeks and have zero luck whatsoever. I’ve tried the updated script found here:
Hi All,
Had the same issue as described above. The default phpbb.php import script didn’t convert anonymous users of topics and replies and the Pixenated script looped infinately with the conversion of users.
I’ve fixed the script and uploaded to PasteBin. Feel free to share widely.

How To:
1) Upgrade phpBB to v.3.2.5
2) Install BBpress 2.6 RC7
3) Upload to /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/converters/phpbb.php
Remember that real men don’t do backups. They cry a lot. 🙂
but it has not aleviated the import problem. I no longer see errors, but it just sits at “Starting conversion”. Not sure what my next step is…
