Import posts and replies from bbPress

[Chris Sajnog]

We have a member on our forum that told us his content is missing. It's unusual because when we migrated we used the converter to import all the data from bbPress 

I checked and indeed, I can't find the user's posts and replies.

We managed to restore the old forum on a staging environment and export those .xml files that contain his posts.

How could we import his content?

There would be no way other than a custom conversion to import files from an XML file unfortunately. If there were issues with a conversion, it really needs to be dealt with at the time, and its possible it would require a new conversion. I see however that this was done some time ago.

Do you have any suggestions on how we could go about to manually recreate those posts and replies?

If we post something it appears with today's date. Is it possible to change the date of a post? I'm thinking of reposting and changing the date to when it was originally posted.

You would need a developer to help you achieve that. There is no simple answer to achieve this unfortunately
