Please advise with regards to existing website

[Stephan Laos]

we have an existing website (wordpress based) and within this website we have a page called Forum (plugin from bublaa).
We would like to change to xenForo, can you please let us know if it's possible to run xenForo within our existing website www.jclao.com ?
Thanks a lot

Stephan

The pre-sales FAQ in my signature lists all of the currently available importers.

For any software not listed, you would need a custom import solution.

sorry, that doesn't answer my question .. at least I don't understand what it means :-(

 

[Paul B]

If you want to retain your existing content using the bublaa plugin, you will need to import it.

We don't have an import solution for bublaa.

You can of course continue to use WP and have XenForo as a forum.
There are various bridges available as third party add-ons, available here: http://xenforo.com/community/resources/

A lot of people however tend to ditch WP and just go with an all XenForo solution.

Thanks Brogan ... it's not necessary to import

we still would like to go with WP, but use XenForo on the Forum ... having just "user" knowledge, it however seems difficult to get it started ... is there any installation services provided by you or someone else ?

 

[Paul B]

We do provide an official installation service, yes.
However, that only covers basic installation of the XenForo software; it wouldn't cover any form of integration with WP.

Installation is fairly straightforward: http://xenforo.com/help/installation/

 

[Stephan Laos]

I see, so for the basic installation we would be covered ... any suggestions for the intergration with WP ?

 

[Paul B]

You will need to search the resources as I am not familiar with any of the WP add-ons: http://xenforo.com/community/resources/
