I have an old website that has a lot of entries.
For the sake of seo I would like to move everything in archium form to nodebb.

Can I do it?
Does it make sense?
How do I do it?

Just the news is enough, although I have a lot of comments written for over 10 years!

Thanks for all the tips !

Yeah, so then you're probably on v.1.1.2 or close to it. You need to wipe your DB, and then start over, checking out v1.0.0: cd <your NodeBB directory> && rm -rf node_modules && git checkout v1.0.0 && ./nodebb install

@Kowlin Hey, thank you for your time in response, and for sure i have done my research on this amazing software forum, i agree it is one of a kind 🙂
i have VPS server,
you know anyone that can possibly help ?

Sure do 👍

@julian documentation is not even clear on how to use the plugin is there any tutorial on how to import the wordpress post to nodebb

The question would be what your actual question is. I do not want to offend you, but the doc is quite clear for me.

@Danny-McWilliams Wow wee bit of a journey you had there. looks like you managed to retain enough of your community though to keep your forums viable which is good going.

I'm not a football fan (though I pretend to support Motherwell/Arsenal - won't catch me watching them play) but there are a healthy variety of topics with active conversations on your forum.

Have you had a look for a Wordpress theme centred around forums? I haven't either but there are all sorts of themes on Themeforest, and they rarely cost more than USD $50.

Hi,

We want to migrate wordpress posts as well as comments and replies associated to that post into nodeBB under General Discussion category.
Please note our wordpress site is multi-site network.
We have search for the implemented plug-in but we have not found any plug-in.
So if you know any kind of a plug-in supported for latest version 0.6.0 which fulfil our requirement, please let us know.

If there is no such kind of a plugin is available we are planning to implement wordpress plugin which migrate posts as well as comments and replies associated to that post.

To implement wordpress plugin we need REST/MOBILE API. So by using that REST/MOBILE API, We can create topics/comments/reply from outside the nodeBB environment. So please let us know if nodeBB supports such kind of REST/MOBILE API.

So any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!!

I blame the Avatar. 😆

@a_5mith I have it setup on a new DO droplet using the server IP (no domain yet) for both server_name and the base_url - basically replacing localhost referenced in my previous post. Hope that makes sense.

for example:
"base_url": "http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx",
server_name xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx;

working url via http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:4567/forum
404 not found for http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/forum

Appreciate all you help.

As far as I know, the code for blog comments has been reworked, and should be working fine for Wordpress 🙂

more like 24x4 hours
Memory issues are fixed. Will start supporting more source forums soon, includng WordPress

few of you already sent me sample DBs

Use nodebb-plugin-import latest with NodeBB@0.5.1

even more, now the wordpress gallery shortcodes are supported, with the old post ids, i.e. [gallery ids="123,456,789"] shortcodes can be converted to, either, <img> tags, if you want a gallery plugin, you can then use @psychobunny's nodebb-plugin-gallery, or you can just convert the ids to full URLs which then you can use within your own plugin.
