Hi
I'm about to migrate from PHPBB to WPforo. I'm going to run it on dev WP site first but import from live phpbb site.
When I import does the phpbb forum stay as it is so that I can test WPforo and switch over when I'm ready?
Does anything get altered on the phpbb forum?
Many thanks
Ben
Yes, sure! You can keep the phpBB forum. However, any new topics or posts created after the initial migration will not be transferred.
To test wpForo, you can first migrate the forum to a development website. If new topics or posts are added in the meantime, you will need to perform the migration again.
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.
