Long story short this didn’t work either and I was wondering if the domain redirect is a problem (when you browse to the phpBB forums you get redirected to a subforum).

I don’t see my last post and I can’t post it again because then it says “duplicate post” … can an admin please check? Thank you

[TiiuK]

Oops I didn’t see your reply … yes to both.

Wait … I forgot I didn’t install the 2.6 Beta of bbPress again. I now did and the conversion started, but it didn’t work out, here’s the log:

I appreciate any help!

Thanks guys, I had the latest bbPress installed but my converter.php looked different so now I am using the converter.php file which Stephen posted and did not do any change to it. Then I tried the phpBB3 import again but know I am stuck at “Starting conversion” … it just won’t stop and there is no error message. How can I finally get this to work?

[TiiuK]

Hello there, great you could solve this, can you tell me where I can find this converter.php file?

Thanks in advance

Did the check, reset, tried again: Same issue.

When I uncheck “Convert users”, “Start Over” and “Purge Previous Import” within the import tool I get a different error message, maybe that’s a hint?

Hi Stephen,

unfortunately it didn’t help, I get the exact same error message with bbPress 2.6 Beta 2. Any other possibilities?

Thank you
