FAQ-e

SMF Path: i put the path but it didn’t worked!

that field needs the absolute path to your SMF forum (on the same machine offcourse!)

so if you have for example:

http://www.yourdomain.com/mysmfforum
http://www.yourdomain.com/mywpblog

it will probably be

/home/user/public_html/mysmfforum

so the field would need “/mysmfforum” (without quotes)

the easier way is to search for SSI.php on smf folder.

the path needs to point to that specific file.

Reviews

It does export posts from the current version of WP into the current version of Simple Machines Forum. It successfully transferred new posts automatically, and it transferred old posts en masse. But it did not create the link in the WP posts as advertised, and it leaves visible orphaned html tags in the SMF post. Honest, I was surprised it worked at all. Thus the generous three stars.
