dropdown css and forum import

    i figured out how to set up and insert the dropdown menu, but now it is displaying with the dropdowns expanded… anyone know how to get those to close up like the bar at the top does? I’m assuming that’s a css issue, but beyond that not sure what to do.

    also, i have the sql file from my old bbpress forum that i want to bring over and insert into this… is there a way to get the user info and post data out of that and into the new buddypress site?

    so glad i found buddypress… it solves everything my community is asking for in one place. kudos to the people who wrote this software! ;)

    ok, i’ve figured out the dropdown menu, but the data import from the sql file is still a problem.

    not interested in worrying about members at this point, but the topics from the forum i’d like to be able to extract and import… even if i just have to get it to some file that i can copy and paste one by one. any help would be appreciated.

    @VirtualityReiki I would do this in test installation, uploading copies of your server files and importing database of your bbPress install.

    Assuming your bbPresss is in subdirectory, http://example.com/forums/, install WP at domain root using the same database as your bbPress install. Install and activate BuddyPress. Then follow this: https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-site-administration/using-an-existing-bbpress-installation/ where you point to the bb-config.php file in http://example.com/forums/. Note that in this scenario, creating forum topics will have to be through BP Groups.

    You can also do it the other way noted in the codex article, but the integration is not quite that easy :-) I remember going through 28 steps or so for an external forum integration pre-BP1.2. In addition, bbPress is being converted into a WP plugin which will work well with BP sometime this year so there’s hope that there’ll be a “switch” so that forums won’t be dependent on BP Groups component.

    thanks guys! i’ve already installed buddypress and bbpress is running through it. i tried to install bbpress by itself using the old sql database first…. and something about it wasnt working, so that is how i ended up over at buddypress which i like better anyway honestly. i’m a bit of a newbie, so i’m afraid if i try option b i might mess something up and make my site implode :)

    going to try using the phpmyadmin as suggested above and even if it takes awhile i don’t mind, i just have some things in those posts that weren’t copied anywhere else before my old host disappeared.
