    Thanks again for your help. I think I have it working now. What confused me is when creating a Group and selecting “create forum” that it created an empty one with the same name so in the admin area for the Group I have to select the OTHER forum topic with the same name and then delete the empty same-named forum. Whew! 🙂

    And doubly confused with users. The topics and replies do have the correct user but it was the creator of the Forums and Groups that is (obviously) admin. Also the post with single Voices and Posts are indeed unanswered topics best I can determine, so maybe all is well.

    Right, so it is that simple!

    I must have a borked the initial import because now I only have a single “Voices” and “Posts” per topic whereas there should be 25,000 Posts in one particular topic. Maybe I was too eager trying to rebuild forums and topics.

    Also the the users that previously created and belonged to each Post are missing entirely. All Forums and Topics are “owned” only by admin. Any hint as how to “reattach” users to the topics and replies by any chance?

    Thanks @ubernaut. I have a forum topic called “General” so I create a Group also called “General” but I can’t figure out how to enable the imported General topic to become THE forum for the newly created General Group. I found these vague old instructions but no luck so far. Would you have any clues how I could link the imported forum topic to the group?

    Set up a new group for each forum (a “Help” forum might get a “Help” group, for example), make sure the group has discussion forums enabled, and then find the line in table wp_bp_groups_groupmeta corresponding to the group_id of the new group and meta key forum_id, and change the meta_value to match the forum number of the orphan group. Rinse and repeat.
