Merge and convert two forums to Xenforo

[masmo]

Hi, is possible convert and merge one MyBB 1.8.4 and one phpBB 3.2.1 forum to Xenforo 2?
Links to old forums and discussions will be converted to new xenforo format?

Thanks

Yes that is possible but the old links will not redirect to the new links without a custom redirection script.

That said, Google will do a good job generally at rebuilding its index for the new links.

Just as a note, the MyBB and phpBB importers are currently only for XenForo 1.5. You would need to do the imports there and then upgrade at this time. (They will likely be updated for XF2 in the future.)

OK thanks, only another question...

the old links will not redirect to the new links

Also if I convert only one forum like MyBB?

You would still require redirection scripts, if any are available: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/categories/redirection-scripts-1-x.2/

Otherwise if you retain IDs, you may be able to just put some custom rewrite rules in .htaccess.
