                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>@vasiliy,</p>
<p>In that case you can. But all your post authors will become not-registered users, but the names will be displayed in forum. To make all this working, after the moving wpforo tables you should add user nicknames to <span style="color: #0000ff">'name'</span> column in <span style="color: #ff0000">wp_wpforo_posts</span> and <span style="color: #ff0000">wp_wpforo_topics</span> tables corresponding to the Users ID in <span style="color: #0000ff">'userid'</span> column.</p>
<p>In other words all posts and topics <span style="color: #0000ff">'name'</span> fields should be updated by user nicknames based on the topic and posts<span style="color: #0000ff"> 'userid'</span> column. You should find some developer who can do this with custom SQL queries.</p>
<p>Once all is done you should update <span style="color: #0000ff">'userid'</span> column of both tables and set them 0 to allow wpForo track users as guests and read <span style="color: #0000ff">'name'</span> column instead of <span style="color: #0000ff">'userid'</span> column. Then go to <span style="color: #3366ff">Dashboard &gt; Forums &gt; Dashboard</span> and click the<span style="color: #993300"> </span> to reset topics and posts data.</p>]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi @vasiliy,</p>
<p>It depends on the <span style="color: #ff0000">wp_users</span> and <span style="color: #ff0000">wp_usermeta</span> tables.</p>
<p>If you can move these table identically to the target database then you can copy wpForo tables too. If these two tables are broken then wpForo has no chance to show topics and posts correctly because user information are lost. I'd recommend ask your hosting service for some backup/restoration.</p>]]></content:encoded>
