I have a buddypress site, with bbpress installed, and I want to switch over to S:P. I see that you have an importer, which I've downloaded, but I cannot find instructions anywhere in your codex, or here in the support forums.

 

Am I just looking in the wrong place? Can you point me in the right direction?

 

Thanks!

the directions are in the plugin itself...  install it as any other wp plugin and activate... in the forum admin menu, you will see a link to the importer... instructions are on that panel...

Well, I'm trying to use the importer tool, but keep getting the following error:

 

Error: Unable to query USERS using the db settings supplied

 

I've copied and pasted the required data from the appropriate pp-config.php file, BUT the only piece of data that I can't find is the Wordpress User Table Prefix. No such item exists in the pp-config.php file, and I have no idea where to find it.

 

I'm assuming that this is the reason I'm getting the error, since all other data items seemed pretty straightforward. (Unless I was supposed to include the quote marks or something...)

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks!

First of all, if this is the newer bbPress working as a plugin then it might not import as we have not added support for that yet - this is currently planned for 5.1 and will hopefully make it. But the importer should work Ok with the older bbPress.

I am unsure what the pp-config.php file is - 'pp'? But, if this integrated into one database then the users tablew prefix is probably the same as the other tables. Try using the same prefix.
