XF 1.4 XenForo to XenForo migration?

[John L.]

This might be a silly question, but I was planning to create a closed forum and do some development (styling work + api changes) without the initial data our current forum has. Is it possible (just to make my life easier) to migrate the data from our current forum to the new installation once it's done? Is it as simple as using the importer? Thanks!

Thanks for this. One thing I wanted to do though was start fresh. I feel like I misconfigured a bunch of stuff initially. So the only data from my current site I wanted to import were the users and threads. If anyone has done this, please let me know

You can do that with the importer that is included in XenForo. Make sure you make a backup before you start.
