Is it possible import from IP Board 3.4.7?

[eliseogn]

Hello,

I'm currently looking for a forum platform to migrate my community, and I came across your software. Is it possible to migrate data from my current platform, IP.Board 3.4.7, to your forum software?

If so, could you please let me know what the requirements are and what information you would need from me to complete the migration?

Thank you in advance for your help.

There are free importers provided by Xenforo.com
If you want every last thing to make it over, you might want to pay someone to do it.

The importer for XF2 only works with IPB 4.x.

You would need to upgrade your IPB installation to 4.x, or alternatively, install XF1, use the IPB 3.x importer, then upgrade to XF2.

Thank you for the clarification.

It's helpful to know that the XF2 importer only supports IPB 4.x.

I'll evaluate both migration paths, either upgrading my IPB installation to 4.x first or using XF1 as an intermediate step before upgrading to XF2, and then decide which approach is best for my community.

Thanks again for your guidance.

Just to clarify, if I buy an XF1 license to perform the migration, can I later upgrade to XF2 with that license, or would I need to purchase XF1 and XF2 separately?

Thank you.

Thank you.

You will have access to all versions of XF when you purchase a license.

You can install XF1 and upgrade to XF2 using the same license for no additional cost.

Thank you everyone for your help. I now have a much clearer picture of the available options and enough information to decide on the best path forward for my community.
