 * Since the bbpress forum uses custom post types, you should be able to export 
   that information correctly using the wp all export tool. That does not necessarily
   mean there is a simple way to import it again.
 * As for paid memberships pro, it uses it’s own data table structure so you will
   not be able to export this data without writing your own export system.
 * Good luck with your project.

 * Just to chime in – Bob is essentially correct.
 * The only thing we should mention is that you can export data using a custom wp_query
   call, or even a custom SQL query. So it won’t be easy or simple, but you can 
   export data from custom database tables with WP All Export.

 * When using both WP All Import Pro and WP All Export Pro, BBpress forums/topic/
   posts do not get associated properly to their authors in the new installation.
   Here’s the response I got from WP All Import support team a couple of months 
   ago,
    “When you import your users to the new site, they’re going to get new user
   IDs, so I would suggest using something other than the User ID in your {author[
   1]} element. You can use either their username, or e-mail address in the Post
   Author field of the import and it will properly link the imported posts to them.”
 * But without explanation on how to use WP All Import Pro with the exported file
   to import the Forums, Topics, and replies properly…. There are hundreds of different
   authors for each topic/post and their documentation is not helpful in explaining
   what to do either.
 * Some more thorough help would be appreciated, and I’m sure I’m we’re not the 
   only wordpress users in the world that has come up against this problem before.
 * To add to this problem, forum orders and topic orders do not get imported. Which
   is required for any forum to work properly. Otherwise content is all over the
   place without structure.
