Has anyone been successful in transfering data/posts from BB Press to WordPress. Infact I had a PHPBB3 and wanted to convert to WordPress, and I found a script and was successful in transferring the whole to BB Press, but finally I would want it to be on Word Press. Can someone plz help me out.

Are you trying to synchronize posts between the two, so that you can continue the discussion in the forum? If so, you can use the plugin found here: http://bobrik.name/code/wordpress/wordpress-bbpress-syncronization/ Or are you just trying to transfer from bbPress into WordPress completely?

Thanks for the quick response, i’m looking at just transfer of the posts to WordPress not just synchronizing.

There is a thread discussing export capabilities for bbPress, where the project “bbxf.org” is mentioned by chrishajer. Maybe you can ask him there, if the alpha version of the plugin they have on Google Code can be used for your purposes. That is, export bbPress as an XML file and import it into WordPress.

The alpha version can be also found on the site of one of the developers, Dan Larkin.

You could give it a try with a fresh “test” install of WP, and a full bbPress database backup…
