Am I correct in thinking that the free tool doesn't cover this, and its a pay for option. I only really need to get threaded messages across, I'm not bothered about users.
The Groups.io export is a straight export of email messages in text format, its nothing fancy.
Hi,
The free Go2wpForo migration tool does not currently have a dedicated Groups.io migration option. It is designed to migrate the standard forum data (forums, topics, posts, attachments, and users) from the supported forum platforms.
Groups.io exports its message archive in mbox format, so importing those messages into wpForo would require a custom migration rather than a standard Go2wpForo migration.
Since you are only interested in migrating the threaded messages and don't need to migrate the users, the required migration may be simpler. However, we'd need to see the actual Groups.io export to determine whether the thread structure can be preserved.
If you would like assistance with the migration, we also offer a paid migration service. You can contact our Sales team at sales[at]gvectors.com for more information and to discuss the migration requirements.
