I chose the account migration method for bbPress; the accounts were transferred, but no one can log in. The importer stated that accounts would be automatically adjusted upon the first login attempt—but that isn’t happening; no one can log in without resetting their password.

So, one way or another, the importer doesn’t work quite as it should. It shouldn’t be so finicky, and it ought to actually deliver on what it promises—yet it fails to fully do so.

bbPress is still a great forum platform, though for some reason, it seems to have been largely abandoned by its creators.

They could create paid add-ons and turn it into a solid, comprehensive package. After all, wpForo isn’t good at all—quite the opposite. It’s a shame that bbPress isn’t really being developed by its creators anymore; they could let others step in and drive it forward if they no longer have the energy for it themselves.
