Reply To: Problem with import. Some posts not attributes to users
Hi Stephen
Just to let you know I’ve tried 2.6 alpha and the result is even worse in terms of post authors.
I’ve got plenty of anonymous and mismatching authors.
What I’ve noticed it’s again the same behaviour: several converted posts have an associated author id that is either 0 or that matches the author id of the imported forum.
Example:
PhpBB post’s author id is 1102
WP converted post’s author id is 1102 when it should be 18044
I’ve created a table that translates the phpbb user id to the bbpress user id by joining on email address. This in theory can allow me to set the post_author to the appropriate value.
The problem is to spot the affected posts.
I am trying a mix of criteria, by looking at the post creation date, user ip, etc. but it’s no simple.
I would be happy to provide additional info if you want.
Regards,
Gio
