SimplePress version 5.4.1

bbPress 2.5.3

I couldn’t find this exact problem with bbPress – hope it’s ok if I open a new thread.  Nearest one was someone having a similar problem with phpbb.

Basically when doing a bbPress->Simple:Press import, importer brings in the users, but not the forums and posts and doesn’t throw any errors at all.  There is nothing in the error log in the Simple:Press toolbox, and I am on aws linux and apparently the php errors go to /var/log/problem-with-post-edit-buttonttpd/error_log-<date> and there is nothing in that log either.

One strange thing is that Importer will NOT take any notice of me selecting the option for the newer bbPress – as soon as I click ‘select importer’ it goes to the next screen which says “Source Forum Data:  bbPress (Older separate site version)”.  When I populate the values in that ‘Source Forum Data’ form (I’ve tried with and without UTF8 checked) it just goes to the page that says “What to do next”. 

I’ve tried it several times (uninstalling/deactivating/re-installing simplepress each time so that I start with a blank slate) and it happens the same each time.

Note that I tried this on a separate site with the same versions of bbPress and SimplePress and it worked fine.  The only differences I can see are that:

• The bbPress on the site that works is much smaller (the failing site is dozens of forums and hundreds of posts).
• The bbPress on the failing site has sub-forums, not sure if this matters
• On the failing site (as I mentioned above) after you populate the “Source Forum Data” form it goes straight to the “What to do next page”, but on the site that works as I recall it gave me some feedback about what it was doing.

Any help would be much appreciated!!!
