Topics and Replier are not linked after importing the bbpress forum data from one WP site to another already live WP site using wordpress default importer. (tools -> import).

Imported properly in backend but on frontend topics and replies are not linked.

Forum repair option event did not worked. This makes topics and replies count zero on frontend.

Need solution ASAP.

Thanks

if they are not linked, and repair didn’t work, then import didn’t work properly, so you’ll need to start again

I have the same exact problem:

Using WP import I have imported a large BBPress forum using split XML files. All imports seemed to go fine (no stalls or errors on import, apparently).

The Forum, Topic and reply counts are fine in the Forum list.
All the Topics are showing in the dashboard—but not associated with any of the imported Forums.
And no REPLIES are showing in the Dashboard Forum Reply page.
However, the replies DO seem to be in teh actual Database.
And as with “mjknight02” above when I use the Forum repair tools all it does is reset6 the Forum counts back to “0”.
I did a second clean import on a new WP and BBpress Install with the same issues.
This time instead of the Forum tools I tried a simple change in fourm edit page and the save did the same thing–Resetting the Forum Dashobard page count to “0”.
Thanks for any help. Really trying to revive an old art forum with tons of useful info from many artists.
