AaronP Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 I'm doing a test conversion with XAMPP on my computer (localhost) and I notice the BBCode is not being converted (from vBulletin 4.2.2.) The BBCode is being displayed as plain text, like: [B]This is supposed to be bolded, but the BBCode shows up instead[/B] What's weird is if I click "edit" on a post with BBCode, then save it, it fixes everything. The same problem is occurring with line breaks/paragraphs. None of that shows until I edit and save the post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opentype Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 If it works as upgrades (which I assume), there should be background tasks dealing with BB codes AFTER the conversion, not during. The ACP dashboard shows running background tasks. You can check there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Silvester Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 @opentype is right, after converting there are background tasks that run to reformat content. Typically on your live site you would set up a CRON to run the background tasks as quickly as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I manually ran every "Task" within the CP, each reported "Task ran successfully" and showed the time it was last ran, but none of the posts are formatted. Still have to edit and save for both converted BB code as well as attachments. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you I would recommend submitting a support ticket if you're having issues with a conversion, we'll be happy to take a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronP Posted July 26, 2019 Author Share Posted July 26, 2019 Thank you for the responses. I was looking in the wrong place. For future readers, the right place is in the main dashboard at the bottom, where you can manually run the "background processes". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
