How to migrate Wordpress to phpBB?

[peq42]

Wordpress has been getting killed by its owner bit by bit and unfortunately I made the bad decision of choosing it for my website(blog + forum)

Would there be an easy way to migrate things to phpBB? At the very least the blog posts and forum posts, turn them all into forum posts in phpbb. Maybe a way to migrate user accounts from one to another? Everything else shouldn't be too hard.

Anything is possible but there is no out of the box solution for converting I'm aware of.

Wordpress is a CMS, phpBB is full featured forum software. They each have their own purpose. If you want both site content and a full featured forum the typical approach is to use a CMS like Wordpress for the main site content and then install phpBB in sub directory. The one downside to this is logins are not integrated.

I've done several WordPress to phpBB imports. For example, I'm currently wrapping up a migration from WordPress Posts, Pages, and wpForo forum to phpBB.

Which forum plug-in are you using? bbPress, wpForo, Buddy Press, etc?

I dont really want the full features, just move posts and users so I dont need to ask anyone to make a new account.

I'm using some for statistics, forms, newsletter, etc but none of them are really relevant. My forum one is bbpress

I also have a WordPress site that is using WPForo, lately over the past year or so I have been thinking about migrating WPForo to phpBB and use a bridge plugin to have the user from WP connected to phpBB. I see you have mentioned migrating WPForo to phpBB, is this a process your able to share as I see there is basicly nothing online for this procedure other than 1 or 2 pay services.

There's a lot of time put into the converters I write, and since conversion services are how I provide for my family (see my signature), so I'm afraid I can share it. I limit pro bono work for registered 501c charities on a case-by-case basis.
