Go2wpForo is designed to allow you migrate forums, topics, posts and users from other WordPress forum plugins to wpForo. We're working hard to improve this tool. Currently it supports these migrations:
- bbPress to wpForo
- Simple:Press to wpForo
- Asgaros to wpForo
- AnsPress to wpForo
- DW Q&A to wpForo
- WP Q&A to wpForo
- phpBB to wpForo
- MyBB to wpForo
- SMF to wpForo
This tool installs like any other plugin for WordPress:
- Downloaded Go2wpForo zip file.
- Navigate to Dashboard > Plugins > Add new and upload addon ZIP file and activate.
- Once the plugin is active, navigate to WordPress Dashboard > Go2wpForo admin page and choose the forum you'd like to migrate from. Then click on Start Migration button...

1. You plan in the future to make imports of the big forum engines, such as XENFORO?
2. Where can I read instructions for use Go2wpForo?
Go2wpForo tool is a simple WordPress plugin, after activation you need just navigate to Go2wpForo Menu and choose the migration option, then click on Start button. That's it. It'll migrate all data without any extra steps. I attached screenshot.

Go2wpForo migrates all forums, topics, posts to wpForo, it doesn't delete any data. You'll get the same forum on wpForo. If you already got some data in wpForo, they'll stay intact. Nothing will be deleted.
Awesome, thanks for developing such an awesome tool! Hope to move from bbPress soon ?

Hi Is there a way to use this tool to convert my existing post comments to forum discussions? I have some posts that have lengthy comments that I would like to migrate to the forum for discussions.
I'm sorry but this tool doesn't have such option. I'd recommend this guy, they have a reasonable "blog to forum" and "forum to forum" migration services:

I am trying to transfer BBpress to WPforo, but everytime I click on "Start Migration" it logs me off the site and even if I log back still does the same, just logs me off. I have the latest BBpress 2.5.10 and Wordpress 4.6.1,

I remember seeing a plugin that converts comments into bbpress replies. You can then migrate that to wpforo using the tool go2wpforo. Two step process but if you really want this, this is one option.
Please open a separate topic in bbPress Migration forum and leave some screenshot, there should be a button [Start Migration].
