Hello Discourse, i’ve imported my existing Vanilla2 forum using the Vanilla2export.php and RAILS_ENV=production ruby script/import_scripts/vanilla.rb /shared/export.csv However user avatars and attachments were not imported. On my original website i don’t see any GET requests for avatars and P…

I’m afraid none of the importers we have for vanilla supports avatars/attachments. If you feel like adding it, we would happily merge a pull request :wink:

Many thanxs! :smile: I was unsure if it is “works as designed” or a user (my) error :blush: Are there any guidelines regarding extending importers maybe?

@buzzdev - did you come up with a solution? Curious if anything has changed as far as Vanilla avatar importing.
