How do I connect or transfer the forum content that was on the Go Daddy hosted site to my new site hosted on WP engine?
Hi, I recently migrated my word press site from being hosted on Go Daddy to being hosted on WP Engine. I did this by cloning the site to the WP Engine hosting on a different domain to test things out. At this point the forums still work. Then I turned off the Go Daddy hosted site and changed the web address to use the WP Engine hosted site. Now my forums page lists all of the topics and post but when you click on any of them I get an error saying there is nothing there.
Hi JoshuaOlson,
- Please make sure you moved all /wp-content/ files.
- Also please check WordPress database tables in Hosting Service cPanel > phpMyAdmin Database manager and make sure the installation was completed. You should see all this tables:
- wp_wpforo_forums
- wp_wpforo_languages
- wp_wpforo_likes
- wp_wpforo_phrases
- wp_wpforo_posts
- wp_wpforo_profiles
- wp_wpforo_subscribes
- wp_wpforo_topics
- wp_wpforo_usergroups
- wp_wpforo_views
- wp_wpforo_visits
- wp_wpforo_votes
- Please delete all caches from Dashboard > Forums > Dashboard.
- Navigate to Dashboard > Forums > Settings > General admian page. Click on "Update Options" button.

Forum URL is not updated. Please navigate to Dashboard > Forums > Settings admin page and click on the [Update options] button. Then click on the "View forum" link and make sure it's correct.
After this, navigate to Dashboard > Forums > Dashboard admin page and click on the [Delete all caches] to reset old URLs in forum and topic objects.
