Title: BBpress -> SM
Post by: bijzonderinwonen on March 11, 2015, 08:09:25 AM
Hello all.

I was checking out the simplemachines stuff and I'd like to implement it on my subforum where furniture reseller can communicate with each other (private forum). I currently run wordpress with bbpress addon at my website and I was curuious whether there are any possiblities to convert BBpress to SMF (I couldn't find it on this forum).

Kind regards!!

Hi

There is only this
http://download.simplemachines.org/?converters;software=bbpress

Also, an alternative method that worked --> http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=511772.0

I never worked with that software neither tried a converter for it :( Maybe you can try and let us know the outcome?

I can confirm that the original forum (BBPress) will be untouched. A backup never hurts, especially if you are doing it in a live forum. If I were to do it, I would export the database and files, and perform the first test conversion with that duplicate. If everything goes fine, then repeat it in the "live" forum.

Good luck ;)
