Craftsmanship in Wood

I have the wordpress support folks working on this, it's not actually requiring a dual login, it's just that the redirect to change passwords directs you to the site to login rather than the forum.

The wordpress folks are working to fix, so maybe it can be used.

Brilliant. Sometimes it’s a simple bug and you can get good support in closing it out.

Once that’s sorted, I suppose investigating the migration is the next major step?

It may well be resolved as this point as I had someone sign up today and he said it was no problem.

I have BBpress, so I suppose the first step is to migrate to BBpress then migrate to WPForo.

Looking forward that process.

I tested a few approaches, and it all seems to be sorted out. I tried:

• Logging out of the new forum, then logging back into the forum
• Logging out of wordpress.com, logging out of the forum, then logging back into the forum (in case there were still logged-in cookies from wordpress.com preventing its authentication from showing up)

So far, so good!

Again, give a holler/email if the conversion gives you trouble. It's probably good to pick a few of the more "complicated" posts, e.g. with images or other bbcode formatting from the old forum as reference cases to compare to their converted forms.

Excellent, so glad to hear that! Appreciate the feedback.

I'll get started pretty soon on the migration.

Hi all,

I'm mentally preparing for this before time runs out. Chris provided me with Admin access but I cannot find the access to the database which I'll need for the transition, hoping that you guys could advise.

Thanks gents.

I'm thinking that what you may need access to is not the admin section on here, but access to the bluehost account and the control panel there.

Ah, yes I think that may be the case.

Agreed, that seems likely. Brian, what does the importer utility want by way of database access? Where/how does that utility run? It's likely it will want the credentials for a direct database connection. If so, then this Bluehost help page may point the way there.

All efforts, past and current are deeply appreciated by this lurker.
