XF 1.5 IPS4 to Xenforo

[Beermonster]

i thought I would try IPS a few months back and I'm not keen on it, so I want to start using XF again, is there a importer? I can't seem to find any, maybe not looking in the right place.

There is a built in importer for IPB 4.0/4.1.

I've installed 1.4.13 and it's not in showing, do I need to update?

Yes you need to be running at least XenForo 1.5.3 but I would actually recommend upgrading to XF 1.5.11 if possible.

Thanks, I've just downloaded it and it's now showing

I've install XF on a test domain and imported everything apart from attachments just to test, so I want to do a clean install on my main domain and remove all IPS files, for the import do I just leave datastore and uploads directories? or are there others I need to leave for now?

For the import XF just needs access to the database and any content related files on the server (avatars, attachments).
