Thank you. I will take a shot at these.
That is encouraging. I am willing to look at developing a migration script.
I have taken a quick look at bbPress and BuddyPress documentation. I looking for a set of functions for getting/setting posts in each product, and a data model. So far, I haven’t seen what I think I am looking for.
I don’t mean to be demanding, but perhaps you can share a link that will help me find my way along?
Thanks for the clarification. The original installation did not include bbPress. As an aside, I was quite surprised to learn bbPress is a separate product, which may offer a clue to why the original designer did not install it.
So, the “streams” are locked forever in BuddyPress, without any hope of redemption. This, too, is surprising since these “streams” are merely text in a database. Alas and anon, I will push forward, delete BuddyPress, light up bbPress, and force the end users to start anew.
I hope for the best, plan for the worst, and pull a nice wine from the rack to comfort myself.
Is it correct to say that if the BuddyPress group exists with some posts, and I set up a new bbPress forum in the backend, the existing posts will appear in the bbPress forum?
I understand that the two are not the same. I also have a pretty good understanding of how data is handled in WordPress… not expert by any stretch, but not a beginner either. Also, I have decades of experience with dbms. So I assume the answer to my question is “no.”
It would be cool to be able to recreate the posts from the BuddyPress group in the new bbPress forum. I don’t mind a bit of query and/or script writing to make things come together.
Any suggestions or insights are very welcome.
