    Still trying to find out what the correct was of cleaning out the old conversion information is.

    Well unless anyone has any better suggestions it looks like all I can do is put the old database back and start again.

    Don’t you have another option below:

    purge import - click to see this image enlarged.

    Alternatively have you tried resetting ( > Tools > Forums )…

    @aces Thanks very much for the reply.

    The “reset forum” option indicates that “data will be removed” which doesn’t sound like what I want – that says to me it’s going to get rid of my data, not restore it to what it was.

    The “purge previous import” option looks a bit more likely. But when I tried it I got the “Starting Conversion” message with the loading wheel next to it and it stayed that way for about 15 minutes and gave no indication that anything further was happening.

    OK I restored the database from the backup but the conversion failed again. It got about as far as “Converting topics 600” then just hung.

    I restored from backup again, this time I set the rows limit to 50 and the delay time to 2 seconds. It got to “Converting topics 700” then hung again.

    So my question now is why do my attempts to convert the forum keep failing?

    I read @johnjamesjacoby’s post here which is similar to the instructions posted above – perhaps he could shed some light?

    My set-up is WordPress 3.5.2, BuddyPress 1.8, BBPress 2.3.2

    I just found http://tompenney.com/updating-buddypress-legacy-forums-on-multisite-to-bbpress/ is it any help?

    My forums converted ok but there wasn’t much material, however I found the above while trying to solve my messed up menu and theme customisation….
