XF 2.2 Trying to import

[Davsas76]

I had this issue before, but cant remember what the fix was. My details are all correct, but keeps saying they are not. Have i got the text correct there, or should it be laid out in another way?

You need to enter the actual values from the VB config file.

sorry can you expand on that. I know the stars are not supposed to be there, but didnt want my password out in opublic!
or do you mean something else

Literally just enter the user name, password, etc. in those fields.

The muted text is just showing you where in the file the values are located.

sorry, last question. Ive set up the new XF forum, but need to import the threads/user that have joined old site since set up, if i only click on users, threads and so on, will this work, or will it overwrite all the config i have done, such as styles and that?

 

[Davsas76]

i.e is there a way to only import after a certain date?

Incremental imports are not supported.

You would have to start over.

This guide explains how to do it without losing the style, set up, etc.: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/importing-guidelines.25325/
