I'm trying out wpforo and want to migrate my bbpress forum on my staging site to see how it looks and performs. My bbpress forum is ten years old with a lot of entries, with buddypress integration. In the wpforo migration window in WP it is asking me for the path to my avatars and attachments folders, as though there are only two direct paths to these. In bbpress, avatars are put into a subfolder for each user. For example, my avatar is in /avatars/1/myavatar.jpg. The next person who signed up will be in /avatars/2/theiravatar.jpg, and so on. And then attachments are uploaded to a subdirectory based on the date, which is the same behaviour as uploading an image to a blog post. That is, /2026/10/30/image.jpg.

Is the migration tool intelligent enough to find the avatars and attachments if I just point avatars to /avatars/ and attachments to /uploads/? How can I be sure that the migration imports all necessary images, be they avatars, attachments or inline images?

Many thanks.

When I look at the logs, I see this error repeated over and over:

" WordPress database error Table 'p15-1.wp_wpforo_mg2wpforo' doesn't exist for query SELECT new_id FROM `wp_wpforo_mg2wpforo` WHERE obj = 'topic' AND old_id = 6307 made by require_once('wp-load.php'), require_once('wp-config.php'), require_once('wp-settings.php'), do_action('init'), WP_Hook->do_action, WP_Hook->apply_filters, wpforo\wpforo->init, do_action('wpforo_after_init'), WP_Hook->do_action, WP_Hook->apply_filters, go2wpforo\Main->do_actions, go2wpforo\Main->do_topics, go2wpforo\Main->get_new_id, wpforo_ram_get, wpforo\classes\RamCache->call_user_func, call_user_func_array, go2wpforo\Main->_get_new_id"

When I look at wpforo > tools > Database Tables there is also in red text the message " Table wp_wpforo_mg2wpforo doesn't exist"

I have tried uninstalled mg2wpforo and installing v 3.0 instead of 3.1 and the same problem. Please help? can you send me the correct sql to create the table even?

Therefor I have deployed a new bare metal server with the fastest CPU I could find but it's still very slow. It started ok but the rate have gone down and I think the total time will be at least 3 days to finish.

25k users

95k posts

650k replies

CPU 8 cores with single core speed/rate of 3500, 128Gb mem and SSD disks.

 A new fresh install of Wordpress with wpforo and the import is from another database.

Only one CPU is in use of course but no IO wait.

Is there something to be done to speed things up?

Tuning of mariadb, tuning opcache. Should I use redis object cache or not etc.

I have noticed that the server is set to multithread but I think it should be better to turn that off in BIOS.

Any tips are welcome!

Do you have an idea ?

Thank you for the support

I will be moving from bbPress over to wpForo 2. In looking at the Q&A in this section, it appears most is all from the 1.* version of wpForo. So I just thought I would ask about any potential issues switching over with this new version. Will all the tools to migrate work well? Go2wpForo? Redirect2wpForo?

Any input and thoughts would be great!

Thanks!

Last night I did a test migration of BBpress and noticed that all of the view counts for every post/thread have been set to zero.

Is there a way I can capture this during the migration process? With either editing the migration script or setting something in BBpress or wpforo or the migration tool?

Thanks

Hi

I have same issue with bbPress posts goes to 404

For example:

https://www.forumnadlanusa.com/groups/connecticut/forum/topic/דופלקס-off-market-בעיר-new-britain-בקונטיקט-רכישה-מתחת/

These are my permalink settings:

https://gyazo.com/7dd4ad8e3b2110ed4a79221790195053

bbPress is not activated

How can I fix that issue?

I am going to get all of my indexed content going to 404

I migrated from bbpress and everything seems fine.

I noticed it didn't import any tags ("topic-tag" in my bbp) and imported all users only as subscribers, forgetting about the blocked/banned ones.

Any advice, please?
