Hi folks,

I want to change my WP forum software from SP to bbPress. I made a backup, deactivated SP, installed bbPress and went to Tools > Forums > Import Forums. There I entered all necessary data.

When I start the conversion, the user import runs endlessly.

Let’s say I have 3 users (actually I have more, but just to make it simple). When I stopped the import after over 4000 users and looked into my database, I got this:

user1
user2
user3
imported_user1
imported_user2
imported_user3
imported_imported_user1
imported_imported_user2
imported_imported_user3
imported_imported_imported_user1
…

What am I doing wrong??

If the users imported already exist then the user will be imported again with the imported_ prefix. If your uses are already in the WordPress wp_users table then you shouldn’t need to import them which would be the case for SimplePress.
