So we migrated our site to a new server today using UpdraftPlusΒ  .....everything went great except during the migration the database complained about a few wpforo tables and in the end our forums and topic are there.... just no posts.Β  I ran all of the tools in the dashboardΒ  to see if it would do anything but no luck.

I still have access to the older server.Β  What is the easiest way to backup the topics and posts and import them?Β  Through phpmyadmin?Β  And if so which tables?

Thanks for any feedback.

HiΒ Joel,

Use the phpMyAdmin Database tool in Hosting Service cPanel. Open database, end exportΒ wp_wpforo_postsΒ andΒ wp_wpforo_topicsΒ tables with CSV or SQL format.
