I have a new installation of bbPress 2.0 working great, and it’s really nice.

However, I’m trying to migrate data from a plugin called WP-Forum 1.7 which apparently is listed as ForumPress. I can’t find much detail about this at all.

It looks like this may be a fork off WP-Forum-Server, but I can’t find much help online anywhere on how to migrate this. SimplePress has a WP-Forum 2.2 converter, but it doesn’t appear to be online. The WP-Forum plugin creates a different structure of tables:

INSERT INTO wp_forum_posts (id, text, parent_id, date, author_id, subject, views) VALUES

and

INSERT INTO wp_forum_threads (id, parent_id, views, subject, date, status, closed, mngl_id, starter, last_post) VALUES

for example.

Although I’m somewhat familiar with the database, I haven’t found an EASY way to manually export/import to the bbPress use of Posts, etc.

Anyone know more about this or have any pointers? Thanks!

Were you successful in this Brandon? I am looking to do the same thing but have found no information as of yet.
