Actually I have a little bit lost here, may i know how do you import those bbPress forums discussion data into your database Easydiscuss post table?

Is it those bbPress forum post table structure is same with Easydiscuss?

Nope, they are not even close to being the same. I exported bbPress topics, posts and replies as a CSV file, and then manually cut/paste the data fields per row to match that of EasyDiscuss.

However, some recent developments: I forgot about the thread table, and only imported the stuff to the posts table. This caused a major problem, resulting in me totally deleting all information from both the thread table and the posts table. I am now in the process of re-trying the import.

If you have a better suggestion, I would love to hear it. Or maybe you have some magic tool to migrate from bbPress to EasyDiscuss because I couldnt find one.

Currently we do not have any migrator for bbPress forums.

Based on your above step, I think you missed 1 thing which is `thread_id` and #__discuss_thread table, this is the main table the post listing always referring to :

1. Imagine if you import all the correct data into this post table -> #__discuss_posts , make sure `thread_id` columns all set to 0 , and category id must set as follow what you import from.

2. Once you done above then try go to backend > Easydiscuss > maintenance > script > select all > click execute script button.

See how it goes.

Nope, doesnt show anything on the front end now, though I can see and edit posts in the back end.

Okay, it should show perfectly now.

The reason why it didn't populate those imported post on your listing page is because all the `published` state value is set to 255 which is not correct, you can check my attached screenshot below.

I already updated all the post to correct value, can you give it a check?

OK, I had originally used 0, and that didn't work, so I tried various other numbers, thanks

do you mean you would like to update that `published` value to 0 from #__discuss_posts table?

If yes, you have to update this columns `published` value to 0 from this table `#__discuss_thread` table as well.

So that was for the topics, and I would just need to import the replies into the post table, and nothing else to the threads table, correct?

do you mean you would like to update that `published` value to 0 from #__discuss_posts table?

If yes, you have to update this columns `published` value to 0 from this table `#__discuss_thread` table as well.

No, I was just pointing out my mistake

Oh, sorry for confusing, may i know is it everything work fine now?

Tomorrow morning I will import the replies, I must go to work now

Alright, keep us update if you need further assistance on this.

OK, Just an update - thank you for your help first of all!

Got the replies imported, and minus a few issues like post numbers being one off (this is a bbPress problem) which are now corrected, all seems to be in order. Thank you

Thanks for updating Spartan, glad that your issues are resolved now
