Dude.
After multiple issues and days of stress, I came to the conclusion that BBPress is not worth the hassle.
I moved to using Discourse and boy am I glad I did.
It seems to me that BBPress is dead in the water.
Take heed and check out Discourse!
@RavanH Thanks a lot!
I’m going to wait a bit longer and see if BBPress gets updated to fix these issues before I need the site to go live. if not, I’m going to give this a whirl.
Okay, so I read some more and I can see that there are multiple issues with both import / export and WordPress 4.0. I realise that this is open source software, and I’m sorry if I came across as unreasonable in the above post.
Given that I can see the content in the admin I’m sure a fix will emerge in due course.
Sorry for being a stress head about it, I was just a bit frustrated.
