I was not able to use the previous phpBB importer as it was failing right at the start. This new version seems to work better! However, I have some comments about this.
1/ A possible problem.
Here is my log (which I paused in the end):

2/ Feature Request
Because I was not able to previously import content I came up with a new simplified set of forum categories etc in my bbPress forum. Therefore, ideally I would love to be presented with a list of forums that are going to be imported so that I can map them to the existing forums I have created. So some would be merging several into one if that makes sense.
At the moment (even though I hit stop on point 9) I was able to view the forum and could seem many boards imported – a quick look it looked great. It is just that I wanted control over how the topics were imported. Thus my idea for the mapping from old forums to current forums.
Can this be done?
Please let me know if I need to give more info.
I don’t know if this should be a “trac ticket” or not.
Well done guys.

PS. The related question (which can be closed and linked to this new one is: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/importing-from-phpbb-5/).
Hello everyone.
I am looking for some help here.
I am trying to migrate a rather large forum from phpbb to bbpress using the bbpress importer.
I filled the details with the right database information and started the import.
However, it keeps showing me an error and does not let me import anything.
When I click on “start” the import, it inmediately shows this text:Repair any missing information: Continue
WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘topics.topic_replies’ in ‘field list’]
SELECT convert(topics.topic_id USING “utf8mb4”) AS topic_id,convert(topics.topic_replies USING “utf8mb4”) AS topic_replies,convert(topics.topic_replies_real USING “utf8mb4”) AS topic_replies_real,convert(topics.forum_id USING “utf8mb4”) AS forum_id,convert(topics.topic_poster USING “utf8mb4”) AS topic_poster,convert(posts.poster_ip USING “utf8mb4”) AS poster_ip,convert(posts.post_text USING “utf8mb4”) AS post_text,convert(topics.topic_title USING “utf8mb4”) AS topic_title,convert(topics.topic_status USING “utf8mb4”) AS topic_status,convert(topics.topic_type USING “utf8mb4”) AS topic_type,convert(topics.topic_time USING “utf8mb4”) AS topic_time,convert(topics.topic_last_post_time USING “utf8mb4”) AS topic_last_post_time FROM phpbbli_topics AS topics INNER JOIN phpbbli_posts AS posts USING (topic_id) WHERE posts.post_id = topics.topic_first_post_id LIMIT 0, 100
No topics to convertNo forum parents to convertIt only shows that text and does not import anything. All user accounts are existing inside my phpbb database.
Does anyone know why this is happening or how can I solve this in order to make the import?
Thank you.
Topic: Migrating from phpBB
Ok yes, starting with I’m completely new to this and I need to redesign my Father in laws, forum website. This would be my first time doing this and he said that there is no hurry as he heard from my wife that I know how to code but the thing is I’m only at the basics of C# so not sure if any use here but on to the point.
So he is not able to connect to the old website host site because I dont think it really exists anymore and/or was transferred to another host service. But he has a backup from the old database that used phpBB and he is not really willing to part with everything that was stored in that forum as it contains over 10 years of garthered info on the matter which is central to the forum. So I don’t feel that copying every post would be really a good way as there are around 200k posts on it.
So I have a wordpress site setup with BBpress and have the basics and the serviceprovider has the database on phpmyadmin. I’m looking to use the backup to somehow have the posts etc showup without messing with the actual site but im ok even if it wipes the new design.I have tried using bbPress import tool but to no avail. I have not found any info considering this. So the old site is still active but I have no access to the old database but I have the old backup. The import tool did not make much sense to me but I tried.For example I am not sure do I use the root name when typing in the database name in the import tool so I have tried to look for a deeper explanation.Also I dont know how the old posts would show up in bbPress.
Topic: Importing from phpBB
I have read your article about importing from phpBB. I would like to know how much control we have over importing. I have already created a new forum structure with bbPress and I would like to selectively import just certain forums into these new formats in bbpress.
I am attempting to convert my message board to bbPress, but have run into a problem trying to convert the database. I get the following errors:
Repair any missing information: Continue WordPress database error: [Unknown column 'users.user_website' in 'field list'] SELECT convert(users.user_id USING "utf8mb4") AS user_id,convert(users.user_password USING "utf8mb4") AS user_password,convert(users.user_form_salt USING "utf8mb4") AS user_form_salt,convert(users.username USING "utf8mb4") AS username,convert(users.user_email USING "utf8mb4") AS user_email,convert(users.user_website USING "utf8mb4") AS user_website,convert(users.user_regdate USING "utf8mb4") AS user_regdate,convert(users.user_aim USING "utf8mb4") AS user_aim,convert(users.user_yim USING "utf8mb4") AS user_yim,convert(users.user_icq USING "utf8mb4") AS user_icq,convert(users.user_msnm USING "utf8mb4") AS user_msnm,convert(users.user_jabber USING "utf8mb4") AS user_jabber,convert(users.user_occ USING "utf8mb4") AS user_occ,convert(users.user_interests USING "utf8mb4") AS user_interests,convert(users.user_sig USING "utf8mb4") AS user_sig,convert(users.user_from USING "utf8mb4") AS user_from,convert(users.user_avatar USING "utf8mb4") AS user_avatar FROM phpbb_users AS users LIMIT 0, 100 No users to convert Starting Conversion
There are two problems I see. One is that it’s having trouble converting part of it. The other is that it says there are no users to convert and there are a ton, so what do I do?
Hello, I have set up bbPRess forums on my website (albeit very simple ones). As they are currently built they are all just listed in 7 straight topics and it looks very bland and boring.
I would like to be able to add some category headings however, or at the very least break them up into different sections. I am not very technical as far as HTML or CSS coding… but I Figured if there is going to be a way that’s how its going to happen.
To clarify, I kind of want them broken up like a PHPBB bulletin, but I do like the functionality and ease of use of the bbpress forums.
Is there any SIMPLE way to do this, or at least a bbpress expert I could pay that could probably knock this out in an hour (or less)?
Thank you in advance.
Topic: PhPBB to BBPress
I have taken over an aviation club website from a guy that had stuff spread all over the place.
I’m trying to centralize so that I and those after me can easily manage the site.I would like to move his phpbb forum to BBPress so I can protect some sections of the forum using MemberPress.
I used Fivvr to try to get it transferred but the guy didn’t really know what he was doing.
I have a phpbb backup and need help migrating.
As an extra challenge, I have a backup from a Yahoo Groups and Facebook group that I would love to migrate into BBPress as well.
This is a small aircraft owner site with less than about 400 members so my budget is not large, but I would like to work with someone to get it done.
http://stinsonowners.org is the site. where you can see the Fivvr developer got data into BBPress but its not right.
My direct email is will.ware@me.com if you can help.
I’m trying to figure out how to add shortcodes/bbcode to my bbpress website. I used to do this a lot with phpbb, but I can’t figure out how to do it with bbpress.
I want my users to be able to type in [card]Serra Angel[/card] and have the posted code be <div class=”card”>Serra Angel</div>.
How can I add this? Ideally, it would reside in forum posts as button, much like the LINK IMG CODE etc buttons.
Hello all.
I have done a fair bit of research on this topic already and have made some progress.
I have managed to get the BBPress importer working on a few occasions (using localhost and also remotely) and I know it’s working because it starts converting the users, then moves on to forums, topics etc.
I did actually manage one full successful import, not sure how exactly but since then I’ve been struggling.
I had to manually create the following blank columns just to get the importer started:
USERS
user_website
user_aim
user_yim
user_icq
user_msnm
user_occ
user_interests
user_fromTOPICS
topic_replies
topic_replies_realFORUMS
forum_recent_topics
forum_topics
forum_posts
forum_topics_realMore recently the importer just seems to be getting stuck.
I have 1333 users in my forum, after the importer has converted all the users (1300-1399) it just stops. It does actually import all the users correctly but then it doesn’t move on to the next task.
When I don’t include users, it converts the forums and hierarchy, but then freezes on converting topics (0-99).
It just doesn’t seem to be working smoothly.
I am contemplating upgrading the forum from phpbb 3.1.9 to 3.2 using this guide:
https://www.phpbb.com/support/docs/en/3.2/ug/upgradeguide/upgrade31/Tt seems like a lot of work and I’m not sure it will make such a difference with regards to this task.
If anybody has faced any similar issues doing this import (freezing at certain points, not moving on to the next task etc).
Any help would be MASSIVELY appreciated.
Thanks

Topic: bbPress performance problems
bbPRess-wordpress is really slow on my site. 7 to 10 seconds loading the main forum page. Submitting a new topic can go over 20 sec. 75% of that time is waiting for a reply…
It’s hosted on a VPS and when I monitor the CPU and RAM memory, it is always under the max, CPU runs at 50-70% on a request and ram stays around 70% used.
It seems to me that the requests to mySql takes a long time to execute.
We have 11500 topics and 75000+ replies. It was a phpBB forum that has been converted to bbPRess.
What can I do to improve performances?
