Is a multi-site import possible?

[Sal Collaziano]

I have about 20 vBulletin sites that I'm either going to just dump - or import into a single XenForo installation if that's possible. So... IS that possible? And if so, how might I go about an endeavor like that?

Yes it's possible.

You import one site, then the next, and so on.

You will only be able to retain IDs for the first import though, it that's an issue.

Thank you. Nah, really no issue. These forums aren't extremely important - but I'd rather import them into XenForo then just delete them. I'll give it a shot and see what happens. Thanks again!

Well let me check - when you say IDs, you mean for threads/posts, right?

For everything - members, threads, posts.

I'm looking to import users so that they can login with their username/email and password, forums, threads, posts, etcetera. As long as that stuff will come through and people can log in, I'd be good...

 

[Paul B]

Yes, all of that will import as normal.

I got stuck at the FINALIZE point with my first import. Any way to get passed this without having to start over?

You will need to post in the relevant customer forum for support - this is the pre-sales forum.
