In a WordPress 4.2.2 installation, using bbPress 2.5.7, I am importing data from a PHPBB3 3.1.4 installation. Both PHPBB and WP4.2.2/BBPress 2.5.7 are on the same server.

The import of data (a MySQL database of about 95MB) includes ONLY “replies.” And those imported replies are added to the DB as posts, but those posts are not visible in the WP Admin (they can be seen using a DB tool like PHPMyAdmin). NO forums are imported.

Running Repair Forums tools all work successfully, except the following:

Recalculating reply menu order … No reply positions to recalculate!
Counting the number of topics in each forum… Failed!
Repairing BuddyPress group-forum relationships… Failed!
Counting the number of topics each user has created… Failed!
Counting the number of topics to which each user has replied… Failed!
Counting the number of replies in each forum… Failed!

Basically, so far, I cannot import any data from a PHPBB3 installation, except “replies”.

The PHPBB3 installation is fully functional. It works properly.

Based on the information above, who can give me guidance toward a solution?

Many thanks for your time.

Additional information….. The Reset Forums feature appears to do nothing. After it is run, all “replies” posts are still in the DB (though not visible in the WP Admin).
