Reply To: Strange import failure – loop!
Can you run through these steps:
- Make sure you are using WordPress 3.5.1 & bbPress 2.2.4
- Run each of the bbPress 1.x recount tools /bbpress1/bb-admin/tools-recount.php
- Perform a forum reset on your bbPress 2.x /wp-admin/tools.php?page=bbp-reset
- Start a fresh import with the ‘Start Over’ option checked
The “Purge all information from a previously attempted import” is a known issue and it will run endlessly if the `bbp_converter_translator` table is empty and has nothing to purge or it cannot find the table. It is a bit funky but does not affect the actual import as there are other fallbacks in place if it cannot use this table. If you have to start over performing a ‘forum reset’ this does basically the same thing so in between import tries doing a forum reset ensures bbPress 2.x has no forums, topics or replies before you start your import.
