Hey guys, 

Awesome plugin! I've got a guy who has his database info from a dead vBulletin forum (about 600 posts). We're looking to use WordPress and the Simple:Press plugin for his new site.

I've looked around pretty goood for any information on how to migrate the data from the vBulletin database over to Simple:Press with no luck. 

Anyone know of a way to accomplish this with relative ease? Any help or information would be fantastic!

Thanks for your time, 

Bill

Just happy to be here…

There have been attempts to migrate all sorts of old data from other forums into SPF. some have even been successful.

Unfortunately I have to admit that as of this writing, there is no EASY way or even STANDARD way of doing this with the current SPF tools.

SPF is a plugin to WordPress, as such we are limited to what can be done in wordpress.

Too much to do – not enough time to do it all in.
Importers/Exporters would be great. We need volunteers.

Sorry for my bad English!

I would like to import my posts from Vbulletin to SPF. Is there any possibility for that?

Not from us am afraid. We really will not have time to do this.
We keep hoping that someone who wants this will also volunteer to write it…

check out our wiki (link in footer)… that would be great as we have had a lot of folks request one… in the wiki there is also another importer for another wp forum plugin you can use as an example… moving the forum data over is the easy part… the harder part will be moving the user db over to wp…

please feel free to ask questions as you go should have any questions/problems as we have an interest in this too – just no time to go do it ourselves!

you posted this in the 4.0.x forum but I would suggest starting with the latest and greatest 4.2.1 version…
