It's Late and probably obvious but I have 4 Word Press sites on the same domain and want to actually MOVE my forum to one of the other sites ?

You can do that very easy if the users are the same on source and target sites. I mean Wordpress _users tables are identical. But if you have different users in these WP database tables you have to do wpForo to wpForo migration, you can't move it, there will be User ID conflicts.

The wpForo to wpForo is available as a paid service in WEB. This is not an easy task. All IDs should be re-created on all data importing process.

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.

OK same users are same ..you said "very easy" but umm I've tried telepathy to read the instructions from your mind and it isn't working...to simplify the path to "very easy" could you just post the steps 😉

TIA

Just export all _wpforo_ tables (with DROP TABLE option) and import to new database, it'll remove all wpforo tables from new website database and import old website forum tables. Make sure the table prefixes are the same and you don't have important data in new website forum.
