IPB 3.2 to Xenforo - I need confirmation

[James33]

Hi

I am just about to purchase xenforo license but I just need confirmation about converting from IPB to Xenforo .

Is there an official converter from IPB 3.2 to Xenforo ? If yes , is there any documentation ? I really do not want to risk anything my board has 350.000 posts and 9.000 members.

XenForo has the ability to import data from other forum software, a process also known as converting. Version 1.1 of XenForo supports the following:

• vBulletin 3.6, 3.7, and 3.8.
• Invision Power Board 3.1 and 3.2.
• phpBB 3.0.

Okay that is for sure helps , I will purchase tonight , wish me good luck I hope everything goes smooth with converting

Sorry but one more question , will i be first installing the xenforo and then import the database from admin panel ? or will it ask me to import data through installation ?

 

[Paul B]

Install XenForo first then do the import via the ACP.

I can only assume you aren't logging in with the email address you have registered with.

Bear in mind the customer account section is separate from the forum.
