Importing Problem

[svtsnake03]

I'm using the vBulletin 4 import from the Resource area to do a test run. So far everything has gone without a hitch. I was importing posts last night. I was past 50% for sure, but I walked away with it running. When I got back to my PC, the following error was on the screen. When I try to resume, I immediately get the same error message.

Any ideas how to correct this so the import will continue?

Looks like a duplicate post_id. That's strange that it would happen in the middle of the post import. I would expect this error to happen at the beginning of an import module.

To fix this error normally you would reinstall XF and start the import again, but this time don't enable the option to preserve the source ids. If you wish to preserve the source ids then you need to resolve this post_id conflict which would normally be caused by your XF forum already containing a record with xf_post.post_id = 1485738 (which shouldn't be the case for a new install of XF). Or maybe the source forum contains duplicate ids which would indicate a problem with the unique indexes on the source forum.

Jake, forgive my ignorance, but since I use vBSEO currently, would we be able to redirect those URL's if I do not preserve the ID?

Yes you can. These redirect scripts do id mapping:

When used in conjunction with rewrite rules for the vBSEO URLs you can redirect all of the old URLs even if the ids were not preserved.

Just noticed that the thread / post count numbers are not exactly the same. My first thought is that it may be from the way soft deleted posts / threads are counted.

Example
