Importing WP Comments as Concrete Conversations

I am migrating a client’s website from WordPress to Concrete. Pretty much the only thing I have yet to solve for is getting comments on their WordPress site moved over to Concrete.

I believe I’ve identified where this data needs to live in the new site’s database (ConversationMessages), but testing on this is not conclusive. I can directly edit most of the fields in this table and see changes on the front end, but “Author Name” and “Author Email Address” remain the same on the front end irrespective of changes.

I’m very curious as to whether or not anyone else has ever had to do anything similar and/or has any further insights on the supporting data schema for Concrete Conversations. The number of comments involved exceeds what I am willing to recreate manually. Any light anyone can shed on this is very appreciated.

OK, problem solved. As soon as I reset UID to “0”, override values from the “users” table went away.
