XF 1.5 Synchronise with phpBB

[GPA-R]

Hi,

I have successfully imported phpBB 3.1.X to Xenforo 1.5.11.

My phpBB board though was still active for some time as I was working to customise XF.

Is there any way I can import from phpBB the topics/users which were created after the migration?

Thanks in advance

No, that's not possible.

You would need to do a fresh import, after reverting to a pre-import backup of your XF installation.

Thanks for your prompt reply.

I have done so many customisations to the installation. Would I be able to re-import if I manually delete all forums/categories/users on XF?

Not if you want to retain IDs.

This is the recommended approach: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/importing-guidelines.25325/
