Migration Tool from WPForo ? + login import ?
Quote from grizzli06 on August 8, 2022, 4:26 pmHello,
I currently use WPForo v1.9.9.2 on my Wordpress site, and I study the possibility to replace WPForo by Asgaros; consequently I have 2 questions:
a-.Is there a migration Tool from WPForo ? this seems to be a prerequisite to not lose the already existing messages (located in WPForo)
b-.Is Asagaros able to pump the Wordpress members pseudo and passwords, so a user will not be obliged to define a second login/password for accessing Asgaros ?
Thank you very much for your reply,

When has the author Thomas last logged in?
When was his last post?
Why is there tons of spam and nobody seems to clean it up?Still think its a good idea to switch to Asgaros?
I hope Thomas is alive and well.. but I doubt we’ll see any updates for Asgaros.
I had to stop using asgaros entirely because of performance bottlenecks with increasing numbers of concurrent users and lack of fixes.To answer your questions as best I can:
a) Not that I am aware of, but Asgaros’ DB Structure is pretty straight forward, one could probably hobble together some soft of converter.
b) Asgaros is using the Wordpress standard user table. No need for a 2nd Login.

This is probably not suitable where single sign on is required between Blog & Forum, but it was the only viable option that I found that allowed me to migrate without losing users or content in a short period of time. I was effectively dead in the water as Asgaros was crushing my server with stalling database queries.
