Thanks for replying!
Yes they are under same server. I m using cpanel
so the directory of smf is
public_html/smf and for wordpress is public_html/forum.
I entered the previous db details and and put the limit as 100 for Row Limits
This server is shared though but its very fast,
I need some help here.
I want to convert my forum from smf to bbpress.
So what exactly i did is
1) Installed wordpress and then installed bbpress.
2) Then i copied the converter file as mentioned https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/2380/SMF.3.php to the location where it was mentioned,
3) I went to my wordpress menu > tools > forum > import forum and i choose SMF.3 from there and filled all the required options. And when i click on convert the bar just stays at Starting Conversion and nothing happens.
What am i doing wrong here 🙁
