Reply To: Database importer never stops running
noticed that it had created several duplicates of each forum area and replicated posts more than once. It’s almost like it didn’t know it finished and restarted the process all over.
Hmmmm, that is weird, especially the forum duplicates
Is there any logs or debugging that I can turn on
Right click, “inspect element” will show you the actual MySQL queries in the raw web page source code that are taking place that importer uses for each step.
If there is mods installed on IPB could this mess with the importer at all?
Possibly, I’ve not tested any of the importable forums with any mods, there are simply far too many permutations and combinations, the MySQL debug above should help with determining if this is a factor or not.
The ini_set is bbPress’ attempt at bumping PHPs memory limit to 256mb if it can during import, you can ignore this.
The WordPress database error Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000 bytes for query CREATE TABLE wp_bbp_converter_translator issue I still need to fix, I’ll try to get that fixed today, see https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2936
