I have a fresh bbPress install and want to import everything possible from my phpBB version 3.2.4 installation. The import runs and step 8 is importing lots of anonymous topic authors.

However, why aren’t my users importing? Based on other posts I ensure no topics/threads are attributed to founders/moderators/admins. (I created a single founder account and downgraded everyone else).

I see some references to a 3rd party import script, and other references saying its not needed. Can someone help? It’s Jan 15 2020 and I have the latest bbPress. Note sure hot to proceed.

Excerpt from log:

6.No forum subscriptions to import
5.All forum parents imported100%
5.Calculating forum hierarchy (0 through 11 of 11)0%
4.All forums imported100%
4.Converting forums (0 through 16 of 16)0%
3.No passwords to clear
2.No users to import
1.Skipping sync-table clean-up

BTW, I only have 30 users on my forum. (Still relatively new). Is it easier/possible to manually create the users and then import will match them up to the right user (based on username)?

(I also tried converting all of my phpBB tables to utf8mb_unicode_ci but that didn’t help).

The onscreen status is very high level. Is there an import log somewhere that might provide more details- pointing to something I can fix? I’m comfortable altering the MySQL structure of phpBB if needed.

I just discovered that after the import, although the forum page says lots of posts and topics in each forum, when I enter any forum there are NO topics.

So this is going really badly….

Unfortunately that didn’t work for me, everything just says nothing to import.

Okay, I managed to import users now, but no forums, even though the imported said they’d been imported.
