i posted this in the install forum and i’m thinking that’s the wrong place for it.

i have a BuddyPress 1.5.6 forum with about 1,600 users and i’d like to convert or import those members and their posts into a bbPress forum.

i like the simplicity of bbPress and that it will work on a page of my website’s theme, so the look and feel of the forum is the same as the site.

i’ve searched here and have read about importers in the works for different forum software, but not for a BuddyPress to bbPress conversion.

thanks for any suggestions! eric.

You can import BuddyPress data from http://example.com/wp-admin/tools.php?page=bbp-converter

It supports BuddyPress forums as far as I know.

thanks zaerl, can’t seem to get it to work. i’m not a rocket scientist with databases.

happy to hire a programmer who can make this happen, posted a job request on http://jobs.wordpress.net/

thx again. eric + gardenfork.tv

Hi, I am also trying to convert buddypress to bbpress 2.2

but in the select platform (in tools Import forums) I can only see Example, vBulletin, Invision, phpbb. and bbPress1

am I missing something?

what do I choose to convert from BuddyPress?

thanks
