The primary domain of my forum just changed, I switched to a better/shorter domain name.. but now all my registered users are invalid, since they registered on the prior domain. Is there a way I can migrate these registrations to the new domain without making everyone re-register?

Hi,

It seems some data was missing during the website migration. Please check and make sure all database tables were migrated properly.

In case you want to say thank you 😊
We'd really appreciate and be thankful if you leave a good review on plugin page. This is the best way to say thank you to this project and support team.

User accounts in WordPress (and wpForo) aren’t domain-dependent, so they should still be intact after a domain change. If users are seeing login issues, it’s likely due to cached cookies or session data tied to the old domain.
