Migration tool ?

[Carole Asselin]

I know I have seen the information about what forum one can migrate from (I currently have bbpress), but I cannot find it anymore.

Can you point me to where that information, including what is possible to migrate from bbpress for example?

There are three helpful guides:

First on how to install the converters so you can convert the forum...

Next is preparing to do the conversion...

And finally on how to actually run the converter:

Thank you. That is not specifically the information I was remembering seeing but it might have all I need.

Is there a  list somewhere, of the various forums it can migrate from? I thought I saw it somewhere but can't find it.

Scroll down towards the bottom where it says "Platforms".  It will tell you what is supported and what is actually converted for each platform.

Thank you. That is what I was looking for 🙂

Hi @Carole Asselin,

Please don't hesitate to reach out here if you encounter any issues during your conversion.

And thank you as usual, @Randy Calvert, for your assistance. 😉

As I am getting ready to do the migration, in a few days, I see the mention of what can be migrated, but it says "Convert from this platform using our paid conversion service, or free app" but I cannot see where the "free app" can be found/downloaded. Can you point me to the correct place? I will be migrating from bbpress.

You download the converters when you download the software from the client area. There will be a checkbox that you would click to include the converters when you download the software.  (It’s not a standalone package.)

Thanks.
