bbp-migrate is a free migration tool that moves your bbPress forums, topics, replies and members into FluentCommunity. No coding required, no data loss, no drama.
What gets migrated
- Forums → FluentCommunity Spaces (with correct privacy settings)
- Topic tags → FC Space Topics (top 20 most-used per forum — FC Pro required)
- Topics → FC Posts — including sticky and closed topics
- Replies → FC Comments — including two-level nesting
- Anonymous content → optionally assigned to a fallback user
- Forum subscriptions and favourites → Space membership
- Topic favourites → Post likes
- bbPress roles → FC Space roles (admin, moderator, member)
- Original permalink slugs → preserved on migrated posts, so URL redirects map one-to-one
Not migrated: topic subscriptions (FluentCommunity’s notification system works differently — users can follow content in FC after migration), forum/topic icons, spam and trash content, sub-forum hierarchy (FC does not support nested Spaces), and multi-site setups.
Requirements
- WordPress 6.0 or higher
- PHP 8.2 or higher
- bbPress 2.x (active)
- FluentCommunity free (active)
- FluentCommunity Pro (optional — required for topic tag migration only)
