Hi @Sofy,

Thanks for the reply.

Please see the attached screenshot of the Tables Tab, Errors & Issues Tab reports no issues. I have also run the command as per the screenshot in mySQL and it returns no errors with green ticks. I have posted a test post and am facing the same thing.

To answer your question on migration - I have always used wpForo but (1) earlier this year in Jan moved to (2) VPS hosting. I have not been able to post any content since.

How I moved the content - after installing the plugin, (3) I replaced the new wpForo database tables with the old tables to retain my old content and forum structure from a backup.

Hi @dave

Here's some points to consider:

(1) Since January 2019, wpForo has had two updates.

(2) You can check the wpForo Server Requirements below and compare it with your current Webhost to see if they have the minimum server requirements for wpForo to function as designed. (If your php version needs updating, usually a phone call to webhosts, they can upgrade your site quickly, possibly they can do this upgrading within one hour).

(3) If you replaced the new wpForo database tables (which currently, the latest version is wpForo Version 1.6.1) with the old tables from January 2019 (assuming wpForo Version 1.5.5 - as you wrote "to retain the old content"), there will be a mismatch on the database tables, as your above screenshot has shown.

Robert has explained it in THIS post, in response to the "How to Back Up Forum Data" . That post is helpful because it your issue is appearing like a "migration" from wpForo one server to another server.

This is how Robert explained how to correctly migrate the wpForo forum from one site to another, maybe you can try his tips below:

Good luck!

I'm just a member here who used to be a newbie.

The case: When I actually put my keyboard where my forum is, and became #172. Can you imagine if you had to build this forum yourself? How kind and patient will you be? The best way to say thank you is say it, write it, and then head on over at Wordpress plugin page and rate wpForo 5 stars - by clicking here.
