I have an old forum running on phpBB 2+ version. It has nearly 70000 users and 400000 artcles.
Now I need to migrate it to latest bbPress. In bbPress documentation I read that it support importing from phpBB 3.0+, So how can I achieve this migration?

You may want to start with the bbPress 2.6 release candidate instead. It comes with numerous improvements to the forum converter that will help speed up your migration.

You can download RC 5 here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/advanced/

Thanks, John. RC 5 is not downloading, I have downloaded RC 3. I have tried it locally with phpBB3 and bbPress2.6. It has imported Forums, Topics and Replies but not Users. Is there any problem with importing Users?
