Currently having issues with my existing host. Need to migrate to a new host.
Tried to restore using the All-In-One Migration tool and upon restore, the rest of the site restored fine - but there was a database error in the WP forum that it asked me to repair. I did and then 3 versions of WPForo showed up in the side bar - one WPForo, ICOT Boards and INTERCOT Boards (both which reference the site I'm installing on.
This leads me to the question - how do you do move a forum from one host to the other properly?
I'm at the beginning of the journey here and about to have ten years' worth of threads imported from VBULLETIN by a conversion service - and if there isn't a good way to move to another host - that will be a problem.
Would appreciate any help or direction you can give.
