While they are not available, its simple as convert to 3.4.8 and then update to 4.1. Simple.

Unless of course you are already on 4.1

I had the same problem, converted to 3.4 and everything worked, then upgraded to 4 and then lost all my avatars.

 

I'm waiting for the version 4 converters.

In your folder did you still have the pictures? In the database did users still have picutres in their profile? After upgrade did you rebuild/support tool?

That was a bug with 4, not the conversion. Which has been fixed as well.

 

 

A beta version of the IPS4 direct converters is now available:

 

1) I would like to convert only my old vbulletin blogs. Would it be possible to choose what to convert? 

2) I´m using right now your cloud service. Will that prevent using those converters? Can i try it at some point by myself?

1. Id' assume (unless its changed) you could in theory just convert members etc and VBBlog to IP.Blog ignoring Forums.

2. You'd want a separate database for the VB source to be read from (converter only ever reads never writes to source) so with Cloud you'd only have one db (your IPS community) however the best answer to (2) is to open a ticket to ask about this, something might be possible to be arranged for you to do this if needed, I'm not sure.

@Charles , is there a 'current' list of what third party software the IPS4 Converters will support ? I guess I'm just asking if more 'sources' are being added compared to say the 3x series Converter. :)

Yes - as the description says, we will add support for more systems as time progresses.

 

Will this converter import IPB 4 when someone wants to merge 2 forums or just VB at the moment?

Yes you can convert on our hosting, in fact here is a guide for this process https://www.invisionpower.com/support/guides/_/install-and-getting-started/how-to-convert-from-other-software-on-ips-hosting-r302

When you run a conversion you must run the complete conversion, you can then clean up or remove any items you don't want to retain.

Yes, we actually have a XenForo converter in progress already. It's not quite ready yet, though.

Can you give a try again and let me know ?

Any idea what position Wordpress has in its release order?

@Ryan Ashbrook does this converter support merging forums?  Or will I have to merge my 3.4 forums before upgrading to 4?

@Rhett got back to me in a support ticket.  The new converter does not support merging of v4 forums yet.

@Ryan Ashbrook thanks for the first beta. however I've not managed to migrate from vb5 with the beta converters yet, how would you like issues raising for this?
