Thanks, Robin — that would be absolutely fantastic!

With a smooth and simple solution like that, I could even consider importing 3–4 more posts that originally were discussion posts and would fit much better in the forum. But no larger volumes than that.

I don’t know exactly how you’re planning to solve it, but if possible, it would be great to keep the original post and its comments intact until everything is confirmed to be working. If it’s easier to convert the existing content directly, that’s perfectly fine as well.

In our system, users also have the option to delete their own accounts if they wish. I assume we therefore need to take into account that some users who commented may no longer have a valid user ID. In that case, I guess a fallback user is needed? I do have such a user in my system called “Deleted User,” whose user ID could be used if necessary.

I’m also not entirely sure how bbPress handles topics and replies when the original user accounts are deleted — I haven’t had a chance to test that yet. 🙂

Many thanks for your help. I really don’t have the required level of knowledge for this, so it’s very much appreciated. 🙂
