bbPress 2.x Forum Import Template

Description

We have a wide array of importers but moving a bbPress 2.x forum from one WordPress site to another is not as easy as it should be. You can use the WordPress WXR Export/Import which works perfectly for Forums, Topics, Topic Tags and Replies.

The pitfall is users, currently you can only export user ID, user_login, user_email, display_name, user_first_name and user_last_name. With a bbPress 2.x to bbPress 2.x importer we can include all a users usermeta including bbPress roles and passwords.

WordPress Core improvements upstream eg #WP22435 are coming though support of user passwords and more general of what data should be able to be exported and imported has yet to be decided, these can be found in the export and import tickets.

Hi

I'm hoping I can get a little help here.

We've redesigned a wordpress website that hosts a bbpress forum. During the offline redesign then forum has been active on what's now become the old site.

I now need to merge these together.

I was expecting that I could export all the forum data from the old site and import it all to the new site. Both sites use bbpress along with S2Member.

I've read through above info along with a previous post on this topic but I'm still a little unclear as to how to go about resolving this.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Phil
