Can anyone tell me where I can find someone? I’ve tried Upwork.

I need someone to import Invision Powerboard forum to BBPress. I have tried importing myself. I have the correct credentials, but I get WP database errors that are beyond me. The forum will be archived once moved to new location. The client just wants to keep the old forum for reference and history, but they don’t want to continue paying Invision for use.

If you prefer to use other forum software for the import rather than WP/BBpress, this is okay. I am happy to take suggestions.

The official WordPress job board is https://jobs.wordpress.net and they have a Migration category that seems like this would fall under.

@adchix Did you try to import in bbPress v2.6 ? The import procedure have been reviewed so you might have more luck.
Try to install v2.6 from https://bbpress.org/download/ in a test environment.

I hired someone from freelancer.com. Not only did he remove the Forums, users and topics I had already imported, he removed them from another site in the same cPanel that I didn’t ask for help on.

Those people are freaking dangerous.

Thank you. Sorry. I’m feeling a little stressed, as you can imagine. I’m just going to pay cms2cms the $1200 to do it.
