I’m seriously considering moving to bbPress forums and so far the import from Vanilla 2.1 works fine, but one serious issue for me is somehow importing the attachments as well.

Because of the nature of our forum, it’s kind of “attachments heavy”. Is there any “manual” way to redirect links maybe? I could just move attachment files to some other directory.

Now links to attachments look like this: http://www.MYSITE.COM/forum/uploads/FileUpload/a9/2b1cce434aca112cd9511e8de163e1.jpg

Any idea?

I haven’t taken a close look for a while at attachment importing has some limitations that we really can’t do at this stage until some improvments upstream in WordPress Core are added.

For now the best solution I have seen would be to adapt the following for Vanilla 2.1

Out of curiousity which attachment/file upload plugin are you using with Vanilla as I believe it doesn’t include one in the standard install.
