I will need Andy to weigh in here, but just to be sure, both of these databases are on the same server, correct?

That does literally mean that either one or more of the user name, password, database or host to the source Mingle database is incorrect. This data should be exactly the same as is used in the wp-config.php file.

I checked again. Everything looks right. Maybe problem is with:

Mingle Table Prefix:  wp_sf

Wordpress User Table: wp_

Or what else can it be?

I finally figured this out. I had an empty space after hostname. It imported now. 

But now I have another problem. I have 2 forum pages on my website: http://easy-exposure.com

One still has Mingle forum and other one is empty. Do I have to activate SP forum somehow, for it to show up?

More issues: When I log out from the forum account it takes me to this page: http://easy-exposure.com/forum-2/, which doesn't even exist. It was deleted from WP.
