Maybe it makes sense to look at the database? I don’t know much about which tables contain the necessary information, but I think it’s in _posts and _postmeta. But the structure of data in these tables is not clear enough for me to understand where it makes sense to look and how “correct” data differs from “incorrect” data.

Yes, Mingle is still working. I set 10 replies per page to accurately correlate posts to pages on both forums. The number of posts matches.

I checked the order of the posts from page 1 to page 7 until I found the wrong link – it’s now on the same page 7, in the last post (#120847 – “Бормотунчик – Mitsume ga Tooru”). Up to that point, all posts are present and in the same order as in Mingle.

I changed the number of replies to 13. Post 120998 was 4th from the bottom before, now on page 7 the error starts with the 3rd post from the bottom. Post 120998 has moved to page 8 and no longer has the error, and the errors only start from the 3rd post from the bottom too. I don’t see any system in this, it seems that the errors are not tied to any particular post or range of posts.

Thank you!

[@qiwichupa Participant 4 days, 13 hours ago]

Right here on this page

https://garage.qiwichupa.net/bbforums/topic/stream-records/page/8

the link in the top post (#120964) leads to the previous page, the links in the following posts are correct, but at the very bottom (starting from #121101) the links lead to the next page.

[@qiwichupa Participant 4 days, 13 hours ago]

Sorry, I’m using a translator, so something might be misspelled.

The permalinks I’m talking about are at each post. That is, I open the forum, go to a topic and near each post there is a link to that post.

On the first page, the links look like:
“mydomain/bbforums/topic/stream-records#post-120313” (bbforums is the root of the forum, stream-records is an example thread)

On subsequent pages, the links take the form:
“mydomain/bbforums/topic/stream-records/page/8#post-121032”.

And if on the first pages everything is ok, then on the next pages these links may have wrong page numbers. That is, clicking on them does not fix the position of the post, but opens another page that does not have this post on it.

I’ll try with my next reply to attach the full link so you can see what I mean. I hope it doesn’t go to spam)

[@qiwichupa Participant 4 days, 17 hours ago]

it doesn’t change anything fundamentally, but the errors in the links show up on other posts in the thread.

[@qiwichupa Participant 4 days, 22 hours ago]

Thanks for trying to help! I followed your advice, but unfortunately none of the above helped. Despite a different theme and disabling plugins the page is generated similarly. Changing and saving permalink settings didn’t lead to any result either (from what I understand, bbpress uses hardcoded settings to generate links).

Maybe there’s some way to recreate a topic from scratch by copying post by post from the old one into it? So that the bbpress engine is fully responsible for the process (still think the problem might be a result of incorrect import from Mingle). Doing it manually is too time consuming =\

[@qiwichupa Participant 4 days, 23 hours ago]

No. But if I enable tree comments, the topic starts to appear on one page and the links seem to be correct. However, even without tree comments I have not found errors on the first pages of topics, it starts to appear at least from the second page, and sometimes later – for example, from the sixth page.

[@qiwichupa Participant 5 days ago]

And this problem is not on one page, almost every page has both correct links and links leading to the previous or next page (but with the correct post numbers at that)

[@qiwichupa Participant 5 days ago]

Only the links are wrong. The posts themselves are displayed correctly, and their number on the page is correct. But on one page (as in my case – on page 8) there are posts whose links are generated in such a way that they lead to pages 7 and 9, where of course there are no posts with such numbers.
