Hi,

is there any chance to migrate data (at least users) from SMF to bbPress? All infos I found about it seem to be older and I hope it´s possible now.

Cheers
Michael

Michael,

There is a Simple Machines package called BlogBridger, which allows you to migrate Simple Machines users to WordPress. I’ve not used it specifically to migrate users, but I’ve used it to sync logins between SMF and WP and it will create the WP account based on the SMF login, which sounds like what you want.

As I recall it took a little tweaking to get it to work properly with the latest SMF, but it wasn’t hard. Certainly worth you taking a look.

I’ll go take a look at what’s involved with creating an SMF importer for bbPress…

Got it started…. All the details for the SMF Importer are in the following thread:
