Hi,
I recently set up a Simple Machines (SMF) based forum and I'm not keen on it. I'd like to now switch to Simple Press as it'll integrate much better with my website.
Is it possible to import current posts from SMF at all?
Thanks
Justin

it is indeed. You can download our importer tool from the downloads page.
This is a standard WP plugin that adds a menu item to the forum menu.
You will need to have SP installed but empty (i.e., no groups/forums etc). You will also need to have the SMF database installed on the same server as the target WP database.
Load up the importer and you will see a help panel that should tell you what you need to know.
