Hi there!

I’m just wondering is it possible to import from an existing Simple:Press forum (on one domain) to a new Simple:Press forum (on another domain).

Or is it safe to just copy the SP tables from the old database?

Thanks!

really depends on what you want to do… simple press is a plugin for WordPress so we really on stuff in the wp site, namely the users… so if you want to move your forum, you also need to move your users from the old site… otherwise, the posts wont be from anybody…

is this simple a domain change and you are moving the whole site?

or is the new site empty of users? …
