In reply to: Import BB data from CSV file to bbPress forum
Hi, the import went reasonably well for me. Thanks for all the guidance.
I imported values for the “excerpt” field for each topic under a forum post. They do not seem to show up yet in the forum view. What can I do to have them display along with the topic titles in the view listing?
Thanks
In reply to: Import BB data from CSV file to bbPress forumFor example, when I go to the support forums for bbPress I see a widget on the left that lists links for tags that have appeared in the forums/posts. How would get that?
Sorry about the multiple messages.
In reply to: Import BB data from CSV file to bbPress forumOops, forgot another item. I want to bring in topic tags as well. How do I do that.
thanks
In reply to: Import BB data from CSV file to bbPress forumHello Stephen,
I have a follow up question on the above topic. In the old BB we had each topic showed with a short summary field of the post content (usually just the first X characters of the content). Is there a way to do that with bbPress Forum topics? I do not see any existing widget that does this. In fact, is there even a field mapping for such a thing?
thanks,
MikeIn reply to: Import BB data from CSV file to bbPress forumHi Again, I looked at the plug-ins and it seemed that WP Ultimate CSV Importer would do the job. I tried importing one of their example CSV files. It lets me choose the post type “forum” although I see no way to provide a forum title. It appeared to work with no errors. However, looks like it took each post entry and created a new Forum with it. I see no way to have the posts come in as topics under an existing or new Forum. Is there a way to change this once the import is done?
Sorry I am not a PHP person and not familiar with the inner workings of WordPress.
