Install

Download source zip No release zip yet

This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.

Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:

wp plugin install https://github.com/justinsainton/tender-to-bbpress-importer/archive/refs/heads/master.zip

No built-in updater. New versions won't appear under Dashboard → Updates. Install new releases yourself, or let Git Updater track the repository.

Uses Tender's neat JSON API to import discussions. Eventually, would like the API to support importing everything from the endpoints provided by Tender. For my specific use case, all that is needed is discussions.

Set-up is pretty easy. Just define the following in wp-config.php. No settings, UI or anything.

define( 'TENDER_API_TOKEN', 'token is found in your profile/edit area at Tender' ); define( 'TENDER_API_BASE', 'https://api.tenderapp.com/your-site' );

We'll automatically start the migration and keep you posted of progress via an admin notice. To run the import again from the last topic created, simply visit your-site.com/wp-admin/?re-run-importer=true

To help with some of the concepts - "Categories" are Forums, "Discussions" are Topics and "Comments" are Replies.

Supports the bbPress Private Replies and bbPress Marked as Resolved add-ons for bbPress.
