Hello,

I’ve been doing some searches for a plugin to import all data from myBB to bbPress. I now know that the bbPress core itself can import other forum platforms but not myBB?

Is there a third party plugin that someone knows of that can help me or of this is possible already with bbPress and I’ve overlooked it somewhere?

Many Thanks
– Joe

And there has been plans to add it prior to my thread, any updates on this? https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/importing-data-from-other-forums/

Is there a converter from myBB to phpBB? You may be able to convert it to phpBB and then convert that to bbpress

(I’m quite new to bbpress so apologies if this is the wrong answer, this is just what I have seen recommended in similar circumstances)

@pinkishhue I hadn’t thought of that, thank-you! Going to give it a quick go now.

I have myBB importer ~75% complete, hopefully I’ll get it uploaded to bbPress later today.
(Categories, Forums, Topics, Replies & Users working 100% with outstanding issues being some BBCode conversions and user passwords)

If you do, you will be a god.
