Coming up sometime soon https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3598 so if you have numerous postings already in your group forums, you might want to use group forums first and wait for the official way to safely move group forums (BP internal bbPress) to sitewide forums (bbPress the plugin)
That’s nice…but I need it now:)
Can I just take info from one database table and import into new table? I did’t have chance to study it yet. but any advice in this direction will come in handy…
@bender001 JJJ, the one who created the patch above, is the lead developer for both BP and bbPress. So I doubt anyone else would go through the not inconsiderable work of importing BP group forums to bbPress plugin forums without jumping through the hoops and then making sure that what’s imported would be compatible with upcoming new versions of BP and bbPress.
Having said that, post at bbPress.org forums and check if anyone has successfully done so.
