Hi @Robert . My issue looks similar to the one above.

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.

Thanks a lot!
I'll give it a shot on my local machine first.

All wpForo tables have _wpforo_ secondory prefix.

If you don't migrate options, you should install wpForo on new website. After installation delete all tabes with _wpforo_ secondary prefix and import migrated wpforo tables. That will be enough. You'll lost some configurations in settings but you can do that again manually.

Yes, we will migrate users and we should be able to migrate user meta as well, but not any options or other tables.
Can you please provide a list of the wpForo tables that I should migrate in addition to the _users and _usermeta tables?

Thanks for the fast reply!

Is this a forum migration only? If so it's too hard. wpForo is based on WordPress users table. if you move wpForo tables to new WordPress website the user IDs will be changed. The easiest why to migrate wpForo tables with _users and _usermeta table. In this case you just need to migrate tables, and all will work fine.

Hi, I am a developer and we are going to migrate the forum to a new WP installation.
Is there any advice you can offer for this?
Maybe you already know the queries to get the data out?

Thanks!

Hi uwujana,

I'm sorry but there is no way yet. Only profession paid services like ProfProjects GP or gConverter, LLC.
