Hi all,

I created a new WP site with a new bbPress install (all updated), and imported the .xml files for the forums, topics and replies, and successfully mapped them to existing users (also imported).

When I view the forums now, it says something like:
– (blue) This forum contains 2 topics and 3 replies, and was last updated by ** 6 months, 2 weeks ago.
– (yellow) Oh bother! No topics were found here!

When I create a new topic in the forums, it displays fine.

What do I need to do to get the old topics to display correctly?

Many thanks,
Matt

Run each of the Repair Tools one by one 🙂

So I did that and it stripped all the topics from their forums, and all the topics from the replies. The whole thing shows as empty now on the front end. Back to importing and trying again….

Are you using the WXR Importer?

There was a ‘Google Summer of Code’ project recently and the WordPress importer was forked and updated, if you have issues with the standard version maybe give that a try.
