XF 2.0 Imported Forum Directory Question

[JonUrban]

I just did a successful import of my vB4 forum to xF202. I installed the xF202 into a /testforum directory off of my web root and it seems to work fine.

My vB4 forum is closed and still resides in the /forums directory off of my web root directory.

So, can I just rename the /forums directory to /forumsold, rename the /testforum directory to /forums, and make the appropriate changes in the xF Setting section of the Admin section or is there more to this?

I read through the FAQ but do not quite understand this and redirection. Can one of you guys help?

Thanks

That's pretty much it, yeah.

For redirecting the old links to XF, we'd recommend installing this add-on:

THANKS!!

I will check out the add-on.

One more thing, should I make the changes in the AdminCP before I rename the directories or will it complain?

It doesn’t matter on the order.

Great, Thanks again for the fast reply!
