I am in the process of migrating a site from ning to WordPress/BBPress, including all of the past forum discussions (important to my users). There is no working migration tool, so the only way I can see to accomplish this is to manually copy all of the discussion to the BBPress forums. Is there a way that I can change the dates of the posts to reflect the original dates of posting instead of the dates that I manually copy them?

you’d be best to use the backend to post them

dashboard>topics>new topic or new reply – there is a date field in that

or once posted in the front end, you can go into the backend and edit the date

Thanks! I did publish through the back end, but before I installed bbPress, so I wasn’t able to find a way to edit the date. Now I see it with bbPress. Thanks!

Great 🙂
