Hello,

I have imported the users from phpbb into wordpress(bbpress) using Importing Tools. But the users are not able to login to system. are there any setup required to allow imported users to login?

I have checked the wp_usermeta table and many rows filled for imported users along with this column ‘_bbp_password’.

In wp_users table password is empty for imported users. I have read some where this password will update after the first login. But in my case the imported users are not able to login in WP.

can you guys help regarding this?

thanks

Hi Did you ever get a solution for this?? I have exactly same issue.

Hi,
In what version of bbPress did you import ? Note that the upcoming bbPress 2.6 has a much better support for import so this could be an option.
Have a try in a test environment…

Hi Pascal. This is a test environment and I’m using 2.6a from a PHPBB 3.1.10 forum. I’ve found another thread that also looks at this. https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-2-6-alpha-problem-importing-phpbb/
