XF 1.1 Exporting / Importing user data / posts

[thunderup]

Okay, so I have a forum that is a lost cause (on XF) and am moving my server also over to a VPS server from shared...

I am going to be deleting that shared account, and doing a fresh install of XF on my VPS server...

How would I go about at the very least exporting / importing my users from the old forum to the new fresh install?

Also can I do the same with all posts, and/or the boards? It's a ***** to have to re-create 40 boards and categories.

Oh also, I would be going from a 1.1.3 board to a 1.2 board if that makes a difference

Thanks much

bump... any help ?

Why not just move the database and files over if you are importing directly? Uninstall any add-ons you have and you should end up with a stock database.

I'm having major issues with my shared server and my XF.

I can give it a shot though, just uninstall on the admin end for the add-ons and then export my database in phpmyadmin?

 

[Jeremy]

Yes.

 

[thunderup]

Yes.

Cool..

I would then import the database tables after I set up the database on mysql and install xenforo again?

 

[Jeremy]

You wouldn't install XenForo if you transfer the database. Just make sure your configuration file is hooked up properly to the new database.

I deleted the taigachat, yet the templates for dark_ are still in the style.. Is this a problem (I assume it could be since I will be using the pro version) and how do you even delete a template in the admin side?

Revert the template (red x). If its not attached to an add-on or there doesn't exist a master style equivalent (this is hidden to most admins), it will be removed.

You should remove any templates.
