‘Transferred all of the tables’.  How do you do that?

‘Transferred all of the tables’.  How do you do that?

In php my admin I exported the tables with the prefix “sf” from the members site with all of my content and imported them on the public portal. + users and usermeta

So did you overwrite the users and usermeta tables that were already there?
And have you checked the content of the new tables are intact and correct?
Do both of these two databases use the same WordPress table prefix? If not did you change the imported ones?
And what do you see in the forum admin?

EDIT: transferred the post data, yes, everything in the tables are correct. Still not working on the outside yet. used wp_sfdata

Regarding the table prefix: I deleted all traces of simple press tables and checked in php my admin and it was confirmed.

Then I reinstalled simple press and I do have two prefixes. One is kak_sfexample and the other is wp_sfexample

So I wonder what gives there? And which I should use?

the WP table prefix is defined in the wp-config.php file that was created when you first installed WP. So the one you are using will be shown in that file in the root of the website files.

Thanks for all your help bro. 

I have the forum pretty much installed on the front portal. Yay! However, only one group is showing on the outside, but inside the plugin my groups are normal. What the heck! 

Progress is made though.

So here in the plugin I can order all my groups and forums 

But on the outside it only shows one: 

EDIT: We’re good. Thanks everyone!

Just do a quick check to make sure the forums inside the groups are not ‘Disabled’ in ‘Forums > Manage Groups and Forums’. If so, the group can be ordered and will appear fine on the order screen, but won’t appear to anyone – even admins.

Also check over the permissions on the forum and the permission sets themselves. Although I am not sure why anything would have changed, it’s worth clearing the simple stuff first!
