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

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.

thanks for reply.

 

please be patient with me as my database knowledge is quite limited. my prefix for my user table is "wp_users" as I said before, however having put this into the "Wordpress User Table Prefix:" brings up the error I mentioned before. could you tell me step by step what I should be doing?

No - the prefix is just the wp_ part
