Converting from Simple Machines to XF

[KatieC]

Hi, I have a forum currently operating on Simple Machines and was wondering if anyone knew how difficult it would be to convert my existing forum over to XF?

Hire a professional, is my recommendation. If you want it painless and done right. @MySiteGuy is one such pro. Done it 100s of times, won't rip you off or disappear, price a bargain and listed on his website so you know you're not getting jobbed.

Do you have his web address or happen to know what he charges?

You should use the link I gave to his profile, to contact him. Site info in his "about" tab here.

I would be interested in an answer to the original question.

There's an importer for SMF but you'll need to import into XF1.5 then upgrade that to XF2. The importer is quite easy and you can just duplicate your database and content directory to another location on your server and test the conversion.

Since December there has been an SMF importer included in the XenForo Importers add-on for XF 2.1.

There is no need to import via XF 1.5 going forward.

Could the XF2 manual be updated then?
