XF 1.1 Can i combine 2 accounts?

[Robby]

I have recently imported old members, is it possible to combine two accounts? So that the old posts of the member can combine with the new...

You would need to demote them first.

Demote both the IDs? Whats the next step? Please provide some detail. I'd be thankful.

 

[Paul B]

Demote them from administrator.
Merge the accounts.

Demote them from administrator.

Thanks a lot. I have successfully merged accounts.
But I accidentally merged two wrong accounts Is there a way to undo?

 

[Paul B]

You will need to restore from a backup.

 

[Afra]

But backup will not be up-to-date , so we will loose some posts. Isnt it so?

 

[Paul B]

Correct.

Is there any guides for merging two users, I merged two users but seems like some of the info was lost..

 

[Mike]

Nothing is configurable with merging, so it's just a matter of entering the username. What problems did you have?

 

[gunnar]

I wanted the first account to get merged into the second account, so the user can log in with the last account created. But it seemed to not work out..

 

[Mike]

Sounds like the merge may have been done backwards. You start the merge from the source user (which will be deleted) and enter the details for the target user (that will now have all the details).

You can't go back at this point, so you'd need to rename the account/email to get close to that.

 

[gunnar]

Ok, so the one I merge from will be deleted?

 

[Jeremy]

Yes.

Thanks I think you are right and I did it the other way around..
