Activate it and it should appear in the SP menu at the bottom

If you are using FTP you download the file from here then upload the file to your “wp-contentplugins” folder. Once the upload is complete go into your plugins in WordPress and you see it listed there to activate. From there follow the selects for what you are importing.

Just a forewarning, not sure how Mingle will come through, but our bbphp came through with the URLs, smilies codes, and bbcode mangled. However that is common for importers from what I can tell.

I imported from Mingle and it all worked like a dream. It did not take over things like subscriptions though but that is a different logic in the two systems.

hmmm i see maybe it was becuase i uploaded it through wordpress maybe thats why it didnt work?

I still dont get it in my SPF Administration menu NVM I GOT IT TO WORK THANX FOR YOUR HELP GUYS!

ok so it worked now i need to input my info i dont know what to put where this is my stuff what do i put where?

this is from my wp-config.php

define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘ExampleDB_NAME’);

/** MySQL database username */
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘ExampleDB_USER’);

/** MySQL database password */
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘ExampleDB_PASSWORD);

/** MySQL hostname */
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘ExampleDB_HOST’);

/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘ExampleDB_CHARSET);

/** The Database Collate type. Don’t change this if in doubt. */
define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ‘DB_COLLATE’);

$table_prefix  = ‘wp_’;

on what options do i input everything for the mingle to work for these options?

Mingle Database Name:
Mingle Database User Name:
Mingle Database Password:
Mingle Database Host:
Mingle Table Prefix:
WordPress User Table Prefix:

Be very careful with that info in the future, that file contains the username and password to directly access your server’s SQL database in which someone to do very nasty things. I highly doubt the information there is correct since it is the portion “ExampleDB_NAME”  is the name and username is “ExampleDB_USER” ext.

If you have a host like godaddy you can get the information from you account on their site. Beyond that someone else here my be able to give ya a hand since I don’t know mingle well.

i got it to work and thats not my real info i just inserted that to show as an example

Sounds like we are good then. Excellent.

hi, i was trying do do the same thing but i can’t see anything in my wp-config.php that refers to:

Mingle Table Prefix:

WordPress User Table Prefix:

I know it says, “Set to the prefix of the database table where the users data resides.” but I’m not sure where that is 🙁

hi, just posted a reply but it says its awaiting moderation so i decided to register instead 🙂

so i’m trying to import mingle into simple press, i’ve used the data from my wp-config.php for everything but the user table prefix which i’m either entering wrong or not got the correct one. i’ve checked in phpMyAdmin and found the database wp_users which once opened listed my registered users. however, putting this into the import program gives me the error:

“Error: Unable to query USERS using the db settings supplied”

feeling a bit lost 🙁

If it is Mngle and within the same database then the user table prefix should be your Wp one

thanks for reply.

i am a little confused then as i have checked in my database and it says wp_users and lists all the users i currently have. there are no other databases with my users in it

That why I said the prefox for the users table should be your Wp prefix. We are not importing IN to users in this instance – we need the user data for the forum import.
