Import to PressBB Forums

[serezh4]

Hi! I want to import XML to pressbb. Everything works great, but I can’t see how I can specify in which forum category to import.

Sorry, “bbPress” forums.

Hi @serezh4

I can’t see how I can specify in which forum category to import.

Do you mean that you’re trying to connect imported topics/replies to specific forums? If so, you’ll need to import the forum ID into the “_bbp_forum_id” Custom Field. Depending on the data in your import file, you may be able to use PHP functions and/or our API to connect the forums/topics/replies.

Here are some resources for this:

• Custom Fields: http://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/custom-fields/theme-plugin-fields/.
• PHP Functions: http://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/developers/execute-php/
• Our API: http://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/developers/action-reference/.

There are quite a few custom fields used by bbPress, so I’d suggest using a plugin like ARI Adminer (see: https://wordpress.org/plugins/ari-adminer/) to investigate which fields you need to import and what data needs to go into them.

My XML is with random products. When I choose to create as posts, I can choose “Category”. But when I choose to create as TOPICS in my bbpress forums, they publishing without category.

I tried “_bbp_forum_id” , but it’s not working, they still posting “(No Forum)”.
