WP – 4.0.1 – multisite bbPress 2.5.4

Forgive me if I’m asking a repeat question but I’m struggling to find an answer and I’ve searched every combination here I can think of…

I’ve imported from phpBB into a new bbPress install on a new MU install.

The user names on the previous phpBB are not the same (emails, user names or display names) for the accounts they need to be attributed to on the bbPress.

I saw a reference in one of Stephens posts last week about deleting users and changing their posts to a different user, but I’ve not been able to find the directions.

Any help would be appreciated, it’s the last thing I need to do so that I can kill the old phpBB and move forward with the bbPress.

Oh duh, I’m sorry for bothering anyone. I failed to realize I needed to add the user into the specific site for the forum, not just as a general network user.

Ah well, I can tell you where I went wrong the first time I tried to do it – I didn’t have any users other than the ones that imported in the site (multisite install), even though I had plenty of users in the network. Once I put the users into the site where I was running the forum import, then it worked properly.
Probably a simple matter, but not something I intuitively realized since it’s my first time attempting to use bbpress and manage the setup/import/etc by myself.
