I am wondering on if there is a method to copy the user base to a fresh install. I am thinking maybe in the old instance create new categories to house the topics that are desired to copy to the new install.
Then on the original forum. I would like to copy certain topics not all of them to the new forum.
I do apologize if this is covered, but onna quick search wasn’t having much success.
That unfortunately would be quite the under taking as the current forum has 8 years of content.
Plus as a side idea. I may want to also copy topics from another forum as I have been creating user interface topics. So a backup would copy the entire instance when I am looking to just copy the user base and move a collection of topics. Plus want to start fresh adding themes and TC.
Thank you this looks like exactly what I am looking for. Will look at more of it as I imagine from the quick scan it will cover copying user base. Otherwise imagine it might have some complications importing the topics.
I imagine to move the files to import use something like Rsync?
