Thanks for the reply: ( there may be a few “spammers” remaining I will clean house today as well…)

Went to wp-admin >> Users.

There are 525 listed, a few people joined yesterday…

Now under “Members” (http://groveton.org/members/) it displays :
All Members (525) Order By:
Viewing member 101 to 105 (of 105 members)
? 1 … 5 6 (on page 6)

When I go to “Group Members” (http://groveton.org/groups/alumni/members/?mlpage=6) it displays:
All Members 523
Viewing members 101 to 120 (of 523 members)
? 1 … 5 6 7 … 27 ? (on page 6)

Is there a setting in the database that I can change to fix this?

Paul –

Currently this entire thing is a trial run!!

I have been working on several different things: WordPress w/ bbPress; WordPress w/BuddyPress; and Social Engine (what a coding nightmare!!) I will have to tweak anything to meet the specific required needs.

I like WordPress – it’s use of php is clean and simple to follow. PHPbb was great as a forum but misses on the current need/want for a “Social” network, plus not very Search Engine Friendly!

Paul – Thanks – I think I am grasping this…

(Please pardon my ignorance. I am used to having to rewrite code in PHPbb not move info around in the database. A bit different.)

I currently have 16 forums – most are just separated into subject not necessarily another group so I may have to manually merge these… Not difficult with a few SQL statements. I can probably get these down to like 5 groups. The members/users will have to get a bit used to the change – but it shouldn’t be to difficult.

As far as moving the members/users I can just import the bb_users into wp_users (voila!) 13K+ members –

Please correct me if I wrong – so, I don’t need to import the bb_usermeta into wp_usermeta??

Thanks again…

Interesting… I was under the impression that because it offered the “Use an existing bbPress installation” it somehow integrated the users? Well that isn’t very nice to fool me like that? lol

Paul – You are correct – I have a standalone installation of bbPress & have a users database (bb_users) I’ve installed WordPress, and activated BuddyPress?

I am attempting to use the 13K+ members of the current website as well as the information to integrate into a more “Social Media” Community format. PHPbb (extensively modified) was what I was/am using currently.

What do you suggest I do? Import the bb_users into wp_users? Then import the bb_usermeta into wp_usermeta?

Paul –

Let me try to understand. In answer to my Problem 2 – it is because I am the only member to be “active” (ie visit the site) therefore I am the only one displayed? So when another member “visits” they will be come active an be displayed. Correct?

Then Buddypress is using the list of members from the database table bb_users instead of wp_users. Correct? Note: These are both inside the same database.

What about the problem with the forums?

Thank you for the input & assistance.
