Hello,

I'm making a new blog. Is it possible to import the database data for my simplepress forum into my new blog? How would I do that if I can? It would be alright if only the posts came through and not the user registrations.

Thanks!

Depends a little on the version of SP.

But – basically all of the forum tables start with the prefix 'sf' (as in 'sftopics' for example). You really DO need the users so you should include the wp 'users' and 'usermeta' tables.

If it is a version of SP before we introduced the 'sfoptions' table then it is a little more tricky as you will also need all of the rows in the WP options table that start 'sf'.
