Hi Pascal. This is a test environment and I’m using 2.6a from a PHPBB 3.1.10 forum. I’ve found another thread that also looks at this. https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-2-6-alpha-problem-importing-phpbb/
Hi Stephen. I then set up a new WordPress install with only the bbPress 2.6 alpha plugin installed and did my import. Everything seems fine and the forums work great except for the login. I’ve tested this with a user I can log in to the PHPBB site with but it won’t let me in to the WP site at all. I can see the user in the WP Users list and it has the same details (username/email) as in the PHPBB forum.
Hi Stephen. Thanks for the quick reply. That’s what I had thought should happen from other reading but it isn’t the case. The user simply gets a message saying the password is incorrect and offered the lost password option. Is there a way to check that the conversion did what it should?
Hi Did you ever get a solution for this?? I have exactly same issue.
Hi. I have just converted a PHPBB v3.1.10 to BBPress using the 2.6 alpha version. I am unsure whether the user passwords are converted or not.
In the codex https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/importing-data/import-forums/phpbb/ it says “Existing passwords are converted during the import so users can login to WordPress/bbPress as soon as the import and recounts have finished.”
However, in the importer it says “Non-bbPress passwords cannot be automatically converted. They will be converted as each user logs in.”
I don’t know if they have been converted or what is meant by “They will be converted as each user logs in.”
Can you tell me what the status of the WP User passwords is and what the users can or need to do?
Cheers
