Hello guys, so I was able to convert my punbb forum at last. Firstly I have installed a stand alone version of bbpress 1.1 and then ran the script from this post https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/punbb-gt-bbpress . The conversion was a success with minor errors (in the forum names, etc.), which I corrected manually.

Then I installed your converter while I was still running bbpress 1.1 and the conversion completed but the Replies weren’t linked to the Topics and Forums. I then uninstalled bbpress 1.1 and installed bbpress 2.0, realized the problem and ran the script again with the Clean option. Now the conversion completed without problems and everything was nicely converted! Thank you very much for this tool!

Yet I am still facing a minor problem, which was already described by Ed – at the beginning of every topic I have an empty post by admin.. I didn’t have it in the bbpress 1.1 version so I guess that the mistake must have done during the bbpress1 to bbpress2 conversion. Due to this mistake all the topics are listed as started by admin…

I would very much appreciate if you could advise me on how to get rid of the empty posts as I really didn’t get it yet. Also if you would release a new version of the converter that would face this issue, I would be more than happy to try it. Otherwise I can definitely recommend this way of punbb to bbpress2 conversion as I am a real newbie in all this stuff and yet was able to accomplish everything.

All the best to all of you, Misha
