Hi,

I am quite new to WordPress and definitely new to forums. I am trying to export a forum using SMF on one site and importing into bbPress on another site within WordPress. How do I go about doing this?

Thanks.

Is your SMF database on the same database server that your WordPress instalation is setup with?

If not your webhost should have some docs on how to export/backup your database.

Then follow the similar docs on your new webhost to import the database if needed.

Then follow the basic steps outlined here https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/

There are also a couple of topics here on bbPress.org relating to SMF that you should be able to find pretty quickly.

I exported the database from the old host and imported into the new host I then tried importing the forum in WordPress using the bbPress plug-in. No forum seems to be created.

Am I missing a step?
