SMF to Xenforo

[Surf3rDud3]

I need some help on converting my forums from SMF to Xenforo. Preferably free of charge since I just purchase this software. Thanks!

I need some help on converting my forums from SMF to Xenforo.

SMF to IPB to Xenforo is a good way to go.
Others have done it.

I can do it without purchasing IPB?

No. If you don't have either vBulletin or IPB, it would be best to get someone else who has either of them to help you.
Jake Bunce / Mike Edge / and SchmitzIT all do conversions.

An option (haven't ever used it - but I converted from myBB to phpBB 3 to xenForo) is to convert your site to phpBB3 then use the phpBB3 to xenForo coverter.
The SMF to phpBB3 converter can be found here https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/converter/smf_1.1.x_to_phpbb3.

Don't know why everyone always IPB....

You can do it for FREE. More SMF to phpBB and then to XenForo.

Cost to do import: $0 (only the cost of XenForo alone)
