I have also removed all the duplicates that were posted and your actual topic is here:
In reply to: Cannot Post on bbpress forumsFor some reason your posts were getting marked as spam, hopefully this is now fixed.
Yes, bbPress 2.3.2 will import your BuddyPress 1.6.5 group forums.
In reply to: Importing/Converting from ASP PlaygroundNice…
2) The best way to speed up the conversion is to run it locally rather than on your remote host. For some of the bigger sites I have converted I setup a local install which allowed me to tweak some RAM settings and use local fast hard disks which helped a great deal. One of the larger conversions I actually setup a 4GB RAM drive for all the MySQL data and that really made things hum along quickly. Once it was complete I dumped the MySQL database to a file and FTP’d it back up to the remote host and imported it ‘ready to go’ so to speak.
1) As for importing passwords I will get back to you on, I have three new importers (Drupal, MyBB & PunBB) that I need to get this sorted out for and I will be looking into ‘getting this right’ over the next couple of days. The bbPress1 passwords were easy as they are already an actual WordPress password so they are basically just copied from bbPress -> WordPress.
In reply to: Social Engine 3 export forumsIf ‘Social Engine 3’ uses a MySQL database you should be able to modify the included ‘Example.php’ import script.
You can take a stab at modifying the included ‘Example.php’ included with bbPress to try importing your forums just as @vogelsang did for importing from Drupal. There are some basic instructions here on creating your own custom imports for bbPress.
Further information on importing existing forums into be bbPress can be found here:
All the details for the MyBB Importer are in the following thread:

In reply to: Cannot Post on bbpress forumsHmmmm…. Maybe try a different browser….
If that fails post your question here in this thread and i’ll split it so it becomes its own thread…
In reply to: bbConverterbbConverter is out of date and no longer updated.
bbPress includes a phpBB importer and details on how to use it and any phpBB import issues can be found in these links:
In reply to: Importing from myBB to bbPressI have myBB importer ~75% complete, hopefully I’ll get it uploaded to bbPress later today.
(Categories, Forums, Topics, Replies & Users working 100% with outstanding issues being some BBCode conversions and user passwords)In reply to: Converting from punBB?I’m actually half way through making an importer for PunBB.
I’ll post a link to it here in the next few days, I have forums and topics importing fine but getting the SQL right for the replies has been killing me.
Firstly this thread is about an old plugin that is no longer being updated, the core of this code is actually now in bbPress core.
@jooda Yes phpBB import is fixed 100% in bbPress’ built in import tool
@LevyImage You can take a stab at modifying the included ‘Example.php’ included with bbPress to try importing your MyBB forums just as @vogelsang did here for importing from Drupal.

In reply to: Importing from drupalI have just tweaked your Drupal Importer @vogelsang and updated it with a few tweaks for formatting and a couple of extra fields that you wern’t importing.
Details are in trac here https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2375
(You can download my updated version directly from here)There will be an FAQ over here https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/drupal
- Forum parents/hierarchy is now imported
- Topic/Reply counts are also imported to help out bbPress counts
- Open or Closed topic status is imported
- Drupal users are also imported BUT passwords need to be manually reset **
** See the FAQ and or Trac Ticket #2375 for details on the imported user passwords issue.
Lastly thanks a heap for doing 99% of the heavy lifting in matching the Drupal database fields, most excellent work on your behalf 🙂
As to the problems you are having with the importer stopping on you could you try to reduce the load on your server by changing the import values for ‘Rows Limit’ and/or ‘Delay Time’ to see if it is a server resource issue or if it stops at the same point there might be some funky data being imported that the importer is getting caught on during import.
Cheers,
Stephen
In reply to: post import topic/reply user assignment fixesbbPress includes a Vanilla Forums importer
The basic instructions are here https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/
And specific info for Vanilla here https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/vanilla/
In reply to: Is possible to translate the plugin into Spanish?The ‘dev’ branch of Spanish is at 100% translated so give that a try.
In reply to: Moving to a new WordPress siteGreat, thanks for the follow up.
In reply to: Vowels/umlauts are shown as question marksCan you add a link to your sirte and a specific example topic/reply so I can take a closer look at what is happening here.
In reply to: Two strange messagesI am not seeing this on your site now.
I presume you fixed it by changing the parent forums type to ‘category’ so your issue is now fixed?
The ‘unrestricted HTML’ should typically only be seen by yourself the bbPress ‘keymaster’, standard users will not be able to post ‘unrestricted HTML’.
In reply to: Latex in topicsTake a look at this plugin which supports bbPress Crayon Syntax Highlighter and this blog post Syntax highlighting: LaTeX.
In reply to: bbPress Topic to Post ConverterIt is the only one I know of, if you have issues with the plugin open an issue on the GitHub project issues section https://github.com/jmdodd/bbpress-topic-post-converter/issues
In reply to: Is possible to translate the plugin into Spanish?It is indeed, just follow the instructions via the docs 🙂
In reply to: Importing from phpBB failsI moved your reply in this topic to a new topic as they are separate issues.
You shouldn’t have a problem with your setup if you follow the docs:
https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/In reply to: phpBB2 to bbpress convertCurrently the phpBB import script only supports phpBB v3
https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/phpbb/
You could upgrade phpBB v2 to phpBB v3 and then import to bbPress.
You will still have issues with user passwords though and each user would need there password manually changed. This is due to different password algorithms between phpBB v2 & v3.
In reply to: Import from Simple Portal BBIt looks like that is based on ‘Simple Machines Forum’ and we currently do not have a conversion script for that.
