Hey everyone,
glad to be here. I have a question about having one cohesive forum on two installations of wordpress.
I have a public website with free content on the outside and on the inside I have a members portal with my forum. I want to open a public forum much like Simple Press has for pre-membership questions and why they should join.
So I'm brainstorming and I'm wondering if there is a way to backup all of the content on my forum and install it on the public portal and maybe just like the current forum links on the members site to the new forum on the public page since it could be all encompassing.
Please help me get this straight. All help and input it greatly appreciated!
I'll be happy to clarify and explain anything. Screenshots, whatever, I need to get this fixed and up and running!

Simple:Press can only run in a single instance of WordPress or - to put it another way - a single instance of Simple:Press can not be shared across two WordPress websites.
But then I am not totally sure if that is the question you were asking 
so if I am wrong about that can you explain in a little more depth?

OK great, I really only need it in one so can I back up my posts and transfer them to another site?
EDIT: also, any idea why the forum repeats like this?
I only have one forum group and one forum.
This is on my other site it repeats like 7 times, on my other site it repeats twice and I'm really curious as to why.

Yes you can move things. Please see this codex artivle for the basics: https://simple-press.com/docum.....or-domain/
As to the repeating forums then this will be a product of your WP theme. Go to the forum admin > integration > Page and Permalink panel. See the section on 'Theme Display Options'. Try turning on one of the top two options. One at a time. All being well then one of these should help you.

Got the repeating fixed. You da best bro.
It looks like I need to use cpanel to transfer the forum? Many thanks!

I don't have any experience with moving a forum, so will leave that question to someone who has - but glad we could help with the repeating issue.

I appreciate the response.
I tried just copying the files from ftp from one directory to the other and it didn't work so I'll have to tackle it tomorrow.

You need the files AND the database together.

Forgive the question but what do you mean database? Is that inside simple press plugin?

The database is a table of information, so in this case users, posts, forums etc.. The SP data you would be looking to move is stored in the database in SP specific tables starting with the prefix 'sf'.
You would need to export your SP database using the method detailed in the link of post #4.
