import

I"m password protecting our test site the simple way via .htaccess, even before the very long import process (importing millions of posts from VB4). Will that cause any problem with the import? I assume not, just want to confirm, thanks!

Doing some practice imports here, (importing from VB4+VBSEO), just have a simple question. Have many XF addons to install... does it really matter if the addons are done before or after the import? Thanks

I'm looking to move to xF from a growing phpBB community. A few threads here address the available support for importing phpBB (up to version 3.1) into xF. One thread mentioned that importers are added for "stable releases." Now that phpBB 3.2 is reportedly stable, are there plans to add an...

Hi we're trying to convert a very customized VB4+VBSEO forum with a few million posts to XF. Did a test import about a week ago which seems to have worked. However I didn't try to rebuild the search index until today. When I try to do that, it instantly confirms that it's done, which is kinda...

I am importing from vBulletin 4 into the latest version of Xenforo. When I get to the "Import Users" step, it stops and gives the following error: ******** Zend_Db_Statement_Mysqli_Exception: Mysqli statement execute error : Duplicate entry '2' for key 'PRIMARY' -...

I am fully expecting you guys to advise I just do a new import, however if any of you have a deeper understanding of the database I would really appreciate some pointers... So when we finally migrate our forum, we want to keep the old forum live, and then just do a mini import of the (possibly...

We are doing a conversion from vBulletin 4.2.1 to Xenforo. A few month ago, we installed the new Xenforo and did an import from vBulletin. On this development Xenforo install, we have been adjusting settings, changing permissions, etc. We are nearing the point of going live with Xenforo, so...

While going through the built-in import, once I got half way through to Import Forums step I got stuck at a 500 Error. So while checking error_log I found this error got generated: [22-Dec-2016 06:04:21 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 536870912 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate...

Import, xenforo updates, addon installs/upgrades take a very long time on big boards because everything is single threaded. Especially if there are multiple languages and styles. After import, xenforo updates, addon installs/upgrades the deferred process takes forever. No matter if your server...

Hello everyone, I've read this guide: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/importing-guidelines.25325/ and I'm wondering about the retaining content ID's. Currently, my live forum is running Vanilla and behind the scenes I'm building up my Xenforo forum. Adding all the trophies I have on...

If I purchase XF now... what about the URLs? Can they be made similar to VBSEO, VB5 or such? (vb5 has broken links from around the internet) Can old VBSEO "likes" be imported? (it would be nice for members to retain their current likes/reputation) [I have a backup of my DB from a couple of...

It would be pretty handy to be able to export options settings. This especially comes in handy when handling large addons with many settings, and in case of import preparations, but also just to have a backup of your settings. This will allow webmasters to easily import or restore settings...

Hi guys, I have set up a new Xenforo forum on the same server as my Wordpress website. I want to convert just my existing Wordpress users to XF. No posts or other content, just the users. I've been looking for a way to do this but I am lost in a sea of (old) posts on this forum, an unkept...

When I'm in the process of importing the threads and post: I got this server error: Server Error Mysqli statement execute error : The table 'xf_post' is full Zend_Db_Statement_Mysqli->_execute() in Zend/Db/Statement.php at line 297 Zend_Db_Statement->execute() in Zend/Db/Adapter/Abstract.php...

Apparently it is possible to migrate an existing phpBB 3.0.1 forum to a Xenforo using the importer that comes with the regular Xenforo installation. However, I can't find a "How well it works" reference anywhere. So, can anybody tell me (from experiences) how well that importer works? Will users...

Before going much futher with with this, I've used custom fields in vB to store authorization codes for my software which allows users to look up their code. When importing vB into XF, those fields were populated. They are not currently showing on the Profile Page of the users and I think that...

Hi, I just installed XenForo on my site and I'd like to import current clients from another product to this forum. I've searched here in the forums on how to do it, but the only thing I've found is an unmaintained plugin which seems to not work with 1.5. So... is there an easy way to do it...

Hi, I did a test run of small forum migration from vb 3.8 to xenforo and photopost 8.5 (107k pics, over 4500 categories) and database size went from 90MB (for vb) and 40MB (for photopost) to 2350MB. I read some threads about size increasing due to search index... but with just 18000 posts...
