Reply To: Import parent and child relationships
Using default wordpress exporter/importer. Moving forums, topics and replies from one database to the other. BBPRESS to BBPRESS.
Also found that I have to resign users to their topics and replies on the import, which is very time consuming. If I just click import, the topics and replies get assigned to my account, when the other users account do exist.
I finally found out that if I just do a raw mysql dump I can import all the data with 0 loss and they get tied to the correct account but the problem with that lies in the ID – I get duplicates because of the data that is already existing from pages and blog posts. Do you have a script that I can run to easily changes ID’s across 2 tables “posts” and “postmeta”? I think that would be the best way of handling a migration.
