SimplePress 5.7.5.2
BBPress 2.5.10
I'm trying to import from BBPress to a new SimplePress install but it only seems to import users. The importer runs quickly, grabs about 300 users, then exits successfully with no forums/topics/etc. There are about 200 topics in the current BBPress forum that don't get recognized.
Nothing in the logs, no error anywhere.
I found this old thread with what looks like the same issue but no resolution.
Any help would be appreciated!
no resolution because they never came back to questions sent to them... its not a regularly occurring issue...

Managed to get a quick look at the database you sent me this morning. The problem starts with what is clearly a short-sighted issue with the importer - but then again, to be frank, the importer needs a complete overhaul anyway!
So - the importer assumes your bbPress forums, topics and posts have a post_status of 'publish' whereas, in fact your forums are all marked as 'private'.
If you are OK making a small code edit we can deal with this and you can give things another whirl. I have been unable to try this yet myself as explained in the email I sent you.
The file you need to change, in the sp_import plugin is sp-import/importers/bbpress-plugin.php
Scroil down to about line 83 and find the comment SFFORUMS Table Mappings. There are two blocks of SQL for 'select' and 'where' clauses. Just remove the
AND post_status='publish' from each - or - change the 'publish' to 'private'. Hopefully that will fix things. Don't forget to change BOTH clauses.
A very quick check suggests that topics and forum posts do all have a status of 'publish'.
Let me know how you get on.
