Well… I must have missed the “Attempt to import user accounts” option. I could have swore I selected it! But because I was running into issues with the table prefix, I must have forgotten once I actually got it right.
So I’ve re-imported everything and all the users are included. I also ran the forum repair tools, but there’s still no subcategories showing up on the home page. When I “view” them in the backend, the subcategories are showing up and I can navigate the posts within the subcategory. The post count is counting the posts in the subcategories, they aren’t visible on the home page…
OK… I’ve got most of the bbPress1 data imported into the new BBPRESS plugin, but I have two problems:
1.) It doesn’t appear that any users where transfered. Every post in the forum has “Admin” as the author and I don’t see any users listed in the backend.
2.) I don’t see any of my subcategories listed on the forum home page. When I view the forum structure in the backend, it shows all the subcategories and the data was definitely imported, but it’s not showing up on the forum home page…
Hopefully these issues can be remedied. I need all the user info, and I need these subcategories. Unfortnately, my old bbPress1 site is getting overloaded with SPAM and keeps getting hacked. I need to upgrade to something that’s fully supported and more stable… so I hope I can make this work…
Thanks again!
That did it! Thanks so much! I thought the ‘Table Prefix’ was the subfolder / slug name you wanted for your forum. In the docs I read it provided a table prefix for PHPBB, but I didn’t see one for bbPress1. Glad that was easy 😉
Any insight on this issue… I thought for sure someone would have a solution… THANKS!
Sorry if my original post was confusing. Let me clarify: I’m trying to add “Latest Poster” and “Freshness” to front-page.php – but include it in the main forum table – not in the latest discussion table. You can see it here:
www (dot) eco-wheelz (dot) com/forum/
You can see I’ve created the new columns, but I can’t get the appropriate information to display. I’m trying to include more data in the main table and only include new topics in the latest discussions…
Any coding experts out there? I thought for sure this would be an easy fix…
I’m having a similar problem (404 error when using Pretty Permalinks) and assumed it was the .htaccess file. But where do I get the code to add to the .htaccess file to make things work properly? Would I need to adjust my main .htaccess file (outside of bbpress) – or is there an .htaccess file for BBPress. I don’t see an .htaccess file in BBPress anywhere…
