Import gets stuck in a loop at stage 8. I posted this here before the weekend, but my post seems to have disappeared.

Since, I have upgraded the XenForo forum to the latest version. Now it says there are no users to import at step 3 (there are many) and the import is still getting stuck in an infinite loop at stage 8.

i also have this problem but with vbulletin 4

Anyone who can answer me? from Vbulletin 4 to bbpress reloads me infinitely step 8!
How can I disable step 8?

I solved!!! when it goes into loop you have to pause, set 0 in the lines to import field, restart the import, wait 2 seconds and pause again. then reset to 100 and restart.

If this happens to you and you switch the number to zero but it doesn’t work and if you check your logs you will see this:

Uncaught DivisionByZeroError: Division by zero in []/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/classes/class-bbp-converter.php:390

Use phpMyAdmin or your favorite DBM flavor and go into wp_options.

Manually change the row “_bbp_converter_rows” from zero to whatever you initially had. Be sure to update it in the converter pane as well otherwise the original value will not take.

Thank you so much for this solution. I had to do this on multiple steps of my import. Thanks @Ricsca2
