DarKMaSk 34 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Hi! I have converted my forum from phpBB v3.3.3 to IPS 4.4 following this tutorial: https://webflake.sx/topic/16110-how-can-i-convert-phpbb-31-to-ipb-4/ and with this plugin: The conversion seems successful as there are no errors and all the converted data are stored in the 'Upload' folder. But there is nothing on the front end of the board. The front end looks just like a new installation. My question is, how can I bring that converted forum to the front end of my IPB forum?

As i see in that topics, its says to convert to version 3.4 and then update to 4.x I do not have a copy of 3.4 and could not find one here, only a retail one is here and as I don't have a serial number, so I didn't use it. Instead I used 4.3.6 and converted. The total conversion was placed in 'upload' section and so it is not reflecting on the front end of the forum. If I can get a copy of nulled 3.4, then I can do it again and get back here with the results. Edited April 9, 2021 by DarKMaSk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grim Reaper 143 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 For 3.4 version, you don't need a serial code for it. You can install it like a retail version and will work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But after a clean install of noth IPS 4.4 & 4.5, I saw there is an In-built option of conversion under 'Dashboard' menu. Have you used it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, you can try to use it to see what it does, i guess is a conversion tool for some database changes from a platform to other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
