Move from another forum

Bring members, passwords, posts and links from vBulletin, XenForo, phpBB, MyBB or Discord.

Murof imports from vBulletin 3, 4, 5 and 6, XenForo 1.5 and 2.x, phpBB 3.x, MyBB 1.8 and Discord. Users, passwords, groups, forums, threads, posts, private messages, attachments, reputation, ranks, signatures, bans and custom profile fields come across, and old links redirect to the new pages.

  1. Install Murof and finish the wizard.
  2. Go to Admin › Import.
  3. Pick your old software and give Murof the old database connection or a .sql dump. For attachments, point it at a copy of the old upload folder.
  4. Press Start import. It runs in resumable batches; you can close the tab.
  5. Put the old forum in read-only mode, then press Import new posts to catch anything posted during the switch.
  6. Point your domain at the Murof server.

Try it on a copy first. You can re-run an import into a fresh Murof as often as you like.
