Can anyone help me convert Xenforo to Flarum?

viet

Ever since using Flarum hosted version, I saw the benefits of having it fully managed and don't have to focus on managing forum server. I want to move from Xenforo to Flarum. However, there's no specific script to convert yet. Can anyone help me with this?

I can definitely pay you if you can do the job.

The current recommendation is to use the phpbb migration script. So migrate to phpBB and then to Flarum.

jordanjay29 Is there any reliable method to migrate from Xenforo to phpBB?

From the phpbb forums:

I recently move from xenforo to phpbb ?
But what I did was to migrate xenforo to vbulletin 4 and then to phpbb

Davis Ouch. Huh, I'm not sure if there's a solution for this besides a custom conversion at the moment.

viet

Davis I'm afraid I'm gonna break things converting multiple times like that ?

Davis

viet It's the only way right now. Backup your DB before you try. It may or may not work.

I'm not too savvy on imports, but from what I've read care must be taken to get good results. That would be a lot of effort to convert 3x over. If you're brave enough to try a path has been shown, but it probably is best to wait out someone who has the know-how and desire to create a direct import from xenforo to flarum.

viet

webeindustry Yeah I'm going to wait for an official, reliable converter instead of taking the risk of converting 3x over.

viet taking the risk of converting 3x over.

There is no risk. If it doesn't work, just revert back to your backup.

viet

I'm willing to give it a try.

So far I haven't found a script to convert Xenforo to vBulletin4, and vBulletin4 to phpBB. Can you guys please help me with the link?

viet do you know that all user password will not be working?

iKODEAK there's a way: force users to change their password after import.
