BuddyPress.org

@henrywright Thanks for your reply. I looked at Trac but can only find where to file a bug report, not a feature request.

I don’t want to sound ungrateful and realise the BuddyPress team are volunteers doing a great job. But import / export seems fundamental to me and I don’t understand why it is not built in. I’ve seen this sentiment reflected in other people also over the last few years. It would save a lot of people many problems if their websites crashed for sure.

I see there is a BuddyPress Members import by youngtechleads. com and I have used it myself.
I see there are also a few plugins that export some of the data needed. What I can’t find is a complete solution and copying sql database tables over just hasn’t worked for me.

I think this is really needed and will make BuddyPress a more complete product. I really do think this is a missing part.
