All: Please note that your Ning export may be corrupted. Your LOCAL JSON file should be the same size as its sister file. According to Boone Gorges, the creator of the Ning to BuddyPress Importer, you can rename your -non-local file to LOCAL, as all the content in both should relatively be the same, with […]

Can anyone help me figure out why I’m getting a skipping error on the ning to buddypress importer. The developer says because the forum topic may not be associated with a category or group? Does that mean in Ning, all topics must be assigned to a category or group to come over to BuddyPress?

We’re going to try and split the 14MB JSON Discussions Group file and see if that works. Looks like on LINE 97 of the php file that runs the importer, we’re getting caught up on the JSON file. So…we thinking that this is what it could be.

@hnla I have been following the thread, but it seems as if Boone’s been busy and he hasn’t been answering queries for a few days to a week. I’ve posted a number of times there and haven’t gotten a reply. I’m not sure about splitting the JSON file at this point. I know that he’s mentioned […]

@techguy, I just went through my 1and1 cpanel. It doesn’t give you that option. @umablue, with 1and1, the only way to switch to PHP5 is to use the “Add Handler” and “Add Type” strings in your htaccess file. 1and1 won’t fully switch to PHP 5 until end of Q3, according to their web site knowledge base. […]

@techguy – I’ll visit the group and post my thoughts. Thanks. By the way, I also learned that you have to put the php.ini file in the root directory, and any other directory that runs php scripts, like wp-admin and possibly plugins. Once I put the php.ini file in root, the site worked, but not the […]

Just an update over here. Please see my post about PHP Memory Limit here: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/installing-buddypress/forum/topic/how-much-php-memory-should-be-allocated-to-buddypress/#post-65469

Okay, so I knew about the php.ini settings in my work with WordPress. Silly me…I thought using that trick wouldn’t change the setting on 1and1, since the tech support told me that they had it set to 30 MB. Well…guess what? It worked. I set it to 128 and voila…instant BuddyPress. @UmaBlu, @techguy – you were both […]

Okay, I will try to add the php.ini file. I spoke to tech support at 1and1. They said even if you try to upgrade your php memory limit, they have it hard set to 30 MB. I used the “define” function in the wp-config file to set the memory limit, but I will try the […]

The issue at GoDaddy shared hosting is that only so much memory is allocated to WordPress or WP/BP. On shared hosting, you aren’t going to get the performance you would on dedicated for VPS. I experienced incredibly slow load times with just WP, never mind BP on GoDaddy. I would move to a WordPress friendly […]

You should be able to export your DB from GoDaddy using phpMyAdmin. I have done this and it works fine. You have to follow the instructions posted by mercime on the WordPress Codex. Now, if you are trying to IMPORT your DB the same way on a new host DB, hosts like 1and1 limit your […]

Can someone help me with this?

Has anyone figured out a Ning Forums to BBPress solution?
