I was importing from my Vbulletin 4 and it went through converting topics, then it started converting tags and hung about 12,900. Is this a known bug? What’s the best way to do this over without losing the imported content and without taking risks of missing content not being imported initially on the hang up? Any ideas why it would hang up like that? It took a pretty long time just to do the topics. It didn’t start the users yet either. You’d think it would import users first?

Side note, I don’t see any area to set up bbcodes? Is bbcode not a default feature?

[@chadi Participant 10 years ago]

Would appreciate help on this please, thank you.

@netweb maybe you know?

[@chadi Participant 10 years ago]

Dead community I guess

[@robkk Moderator 10 years ago]

we are not dead :/

@netweb is the bbPress community’s import specialist

the guy is most likely asleep now because he was working on some bbPress tickets all night… or all day depending on Aussie time??

as for bbcodes bbcodes is not a default feature for bbPress you would need an additional plugin for that.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/gd-bbpress-tools/ this plugin comes with a quote feature and more.

there is another plugin called bbpress 2 bbcode which would also need the whitelist plugin by the same developer.

What’s the best way to do this over without losing the imported content and without taking risks of missing content not being imported initially on the hang up?

Make sure you back up both your WordPress and vBulletin databases – and try the import on a local server using something like MAMP.

It took a pretty long time just to do the topics. It didn’t start the users yet either. You’d think it would import users first?

It takes a long time. My vBulletin import took 17 hours last time I tried it! Biggish database tho.

The order should be (I think):

1. Users
2. Forums
3. Topics
4. Tags
5. Replies

So check you had the ‘Attempt to import user accounts from previous forums’ checkbox ticked.

I was importing from my Vbulletin 4 and it went through converting topics, then it started converting tags and hung about 12,900. Is this a known bug?

Unlikely a bug. It seems there might be several reasons why it might ‘hang’. For example, if you are getting a line of ‘dashes’ this meaning you’re logged out of WordPress. It could be that one of your tags has some nasty data that is tripping the import, etc.

[@chadi Participant 10 years ago]

My database is only 1.2GB in size. I don’t think that’s necessary too big?

I’m going to try to reimport again. I hope this works!

I’m a day late and a dollar short, but I thought I’d answer this for anyone else experiencing a similar issue.

vB4 tables originally used latin1_swedish_ci Collation, so when they’re imported certain characters don’t import properly causing the import to hang.

If the bbpress converter hangs up you can see what the last query was running. go to your WordPress MySQL Database:

Find the wp_options table (note that your table prefix may be different)

1. Shut off the importer (hit the STOP Button)
2. Go to the wp_options table & do a search for %converter% – it will return 3 tables

  a. _bbp_converter_query
  b. _bbp_converter_start
  c. _bbp_converter_step

Select both _bbp_converter_start AND _bbp_converter_query and click edit. Look to see where the tags got hung up in the option value field-

(here’s an example from my own database):

SELECT convert(tagcontent.contentid USING "utf8mb4") AS contentid,convert(tagcontent.tagid USING 
"utf8mb4") AS tagid,convert(tag.tagtext USING "utf8mb4") AS tagtext FROM tagcontent AS tagcontent INNER JOIN tag AS tag USING (tagid) LIMIT 2750, 50

In this case, it’s getting hung while imported tags 2750, 50 rows at a time.

change the values to the next bracket (but don’t alter any other data in the fields,:

_bbp_converter_start  2800
_bbp_converter_query 2800

and hit save

so now the option_value of the _bbp_converter_query looks like this:

SELECT convert(tagcontent.contentid USING "utf8mb4") AS contentid,convert(tagcontent.tagid USING 
"utf8mb4") AS tagid,convert(tag.tagtext USING "utf8mb4") AS tagtext FROM tagcontent AS tagcontent INNER JOIN tag AS tag USING (tagid) LIMIT 2800, 100

(note the new LIMIT number)

Then hit the START button on your Converter. IF, for some odd reason it doesn’t automatically restart, don’t freak out. Just hit the STOP button again, open a new page for the import

http://YOURDOMAINHERE.com/wp-admin/tools.php?page=bbp-converter

Re-enter your data, with the rows limit at 100, delay time the same as before & convert users STILL

Checked (if it was to begin with) DO NOT CHECK START OVER or PREVIOUS IMPORT.

Hit START and it will pick up where it left off.

Alternatively, you can
2. remove the offending tags from vbulletin –> /admincp/tag.php there are 45 per pg
3. update thread counters
4. Start the importer, see if it updates
5. If so- you’re all set *until next time* (and there WILL be a Next time!)

Agreed, this is necessary for large imports, I initially had a database of 110K+ users and 2.2 million posts/topics, which after 13 days of importing I decided to prune before attempting again.

In theory, you could rearrange these yourself by altering the wp-content>plugins>bbpress>includes>admin>converter.php file and changing the order of the steps. I actually thing the tags are the least important step for my site & the one that caused the most headache/issues while importing, so I made that step the LAST step.
