Dean Spencer Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Hello, I have an issue when converting from XenForo to IPS. Issue 1: When I'm converting I get asked the path to the Avatars, it gives a hint that the path is: /data/avatars I type that in and it tells me it's not correct. Not matter what I type in it's not correct. Now when I type only / then it lets me move on but it doesnt bring any avatars. Issue 2: When I convert from 1.5.20 to 4.3.3 it converts the topic names, status updates and so on but when I click on a topic on the address bar the topic ID is 0 and I get an error message. The only suitable fix I had found was to convert from 1.5.20 to 3.4.9 then upgrade to 4.3.3 and I can see the topics. but I'd like to know why when converting from 1.5.20 to 4.3.3 the topics give an error message. For now I deleted it all and went back to using XenForo until I can find a solution for this here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The path needs to be the absolute path to where these items are stored on your server. i.e. /home/user/forum/data/avatars (it's different for everyone, so you'll need to find out where they are on your server). 18 minutes ago, Dean Spencer said: Issue 2: When I convert from 1.5.20 to 4.3.3 it converts the topic names, status updates and so on but when I click on a topic on the address bar the topic ID is 0 and I get an error message.

These are placeholders that get replaced/recalculated by background tasks that run after you click 'finish' (after you've completed the entire conversion).
