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?

lol, guess our opinion would be yes… ;)

but make sure you have a mingle db backup in case you need it..

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.

Also I am experiencing a delay in reply to be displayed. What can it be?

what do you mean delay in editing??? no caching plugin, right?

what do you have for logout redirect on forum – components – login and registration???

Thanks for reply!

Now it seams to be ok.

I had WP Super Cache – this one didn’t help. 

I installed W3 Total Cache  – this one worked. 

 

Yes, I had logout redirect set wrong. 

Thanks. 

 

This is new to me, so I am still trying to figure everything out!
