Hi,

I’ve been trying numerous times to convert from vBulletin 3.8.1 to bbPress 2.3.

I get most of it converted until I get this message:
***** = database username

`WordPress database error: [Table ‘******.tagcontent’ doesn’t exist]
SELECT convert(tagcontent.contentid USING “utf8”) AS contentid,convert(tagcontent.tagid USING “utf8”) AS tagid,convert(tag.tagtext USING “utf8”) AS tagtext FROM tagcontent AS tagcontent INNER JOIN tag AS tag USING (tagid) LIMIT 0, 100`

Any ideas what it means and how to fix? I can’t get pass this step and it screws the forum up, even if I repair the forum.

and as a result, it won’t allow the users replies to transfer either.

I have only had access to test vBulletin 4.x to test importing into bbPress.

Does vBulletin 3.8.x support topic tags at all?

Also this doc has any other known issues https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/vBulletin/

There are vBulletin Topic tags, yes, But they won’t convert.

hi there,
same problem for me with my vbulletin 3.x-version. a tag-error during import.

it seems to stop the import.

do you have found a solution for this?

Upload with FTP to your server into to /wp-content/plugibs/bbpress/includes/admin/converters

I have spent the day playing with passwords and the bbPress importers :/

If you could also let me know if you have any issues with users logging into WordPress after the import if their passwords don’t work that would be greatly appreciated.

I’d also appreciate a comment on this ticket in Trac for any password issues you found.
