How to migrate from bbPress without losing data

SO Sofia Romano 1 month ago Resolved

Reference guide. The bbPress importer preserves original dates, maps forums to spaces and forum categories to Jetonomy categories, and supports a dry run.

  1. Back up your database.
  2. Run wp jetonomy import bbpress --dry-run to preview.
  3. Run the import; it batches large datasets to avoid timeouts.

Thanks for writing this up. Bookmarking it — the kind of thing I will want to reference again in a month.

Appreciate the clear steps. The dry-run tip in particular saved me from a mistake I would not have caught otherwise.

Following this thread closely. We are about to face the exact same decision and the replies here are gold.

We ran into the same situation last quarter. What worked for us was starting small and only adding complexity when a real need showed up.

This deserves more votes. It is a small change with an outsized impact on day-to-day use.

Great point. I had not considered the angle you raised in the second paragraph — it reframes the whole thing for me.

For what it is worth, the same approach works with the PMPro adapter — the membership side is identical from here.

Solid breakdown. The only thing I would add is to back up before making the change — better safe than sorry.
