How to migrate from bbPress without losing data

Sofia Romano Sofia Romano hace 1 mes Resuelto

Reference guide. The bbPress importer preserves original dates, maps forums to spaces and forum categories to Jetonomy categories, and supports a dry run.

  1. Back up your database.
  2. Run wp jetonomy import bbpress --dry-run to preview.
  3. Run the import; it batches large datasets to avoid timeouts.

This matches my experience exactly. The hard part is staying consistent once the initial novelty wears off.

This is expected behavior, not a bug. The guard you are hitting is intentional — it protects against a class of mistakes that used to cause data loss.

If you need the other behavior, there is a documented filter you can hook to override it per site.

Tried this on a staging copy first and it behaved exactly as described. Confident enough to roll it to production now.

Strong agree. Good defaults beat a wall of toggles every single time.

Appreciate the clear steps. The dry-run tip in particular saved me from a mistake I would not have caught otherwise.

We ran into the same situation last quarter. What worked for us was starting small and only adding complexity when a real need showed up.

Thanks for writing this up. Bookmarking it — the kind of thing I will want to reference again in a month.

Adding a small note: the same idea applies on mobile, just with a bit more attention to tap targets.

One caveat for larger communities: keep an eye on the indexes. At a few thousand rows the difference is night and day.

Solid breakdown. The only thing I would add is to back up before making the change — better safe than sorry.

Following this thread closely. We are about to face the exact same decision and the replies here are gold.

For what it is worth, the same approach works with the PMPro adapter — the membership side is identical from here.
