Reply To: Migrating Ning to BuddyPress
Hello Scott,
My site is not really focused on images and videos so I did not have to export/import a lot of this, but the media I did import went well.
Comments on blogs (from Ning) were imported so I guess this could work out well for comments on photos/videos as well. The only thing is whenever you have a lot of media content it will take some time to export.
You just would give it a try to see how it works out. I took the following steps:
Installed WP
Installed Buddypress
Installed BBPress
Downloaded the Ning Export tool (http://www.ning.com/help/?p=5219) and started exporting
Downloaded and installed Import from Ning tool https://wordpress.org/plugins/import-from-ning/
I used ftp to upload the Ning files, to avoid errors I did this step by step (not all content at once).
Good luck with it!
