Hey people, I got some issues with MyBB and Wordpress as I'd installed WordBB or some plugin before. So now I can't install a plugin I want, because my forum gets all messed up!
Now I decided I want to reinstall both MyBB and Wordpress.
Problem is how I can be sure it will work so I won't lose stuff.
I don't care very much about the Wordpress, only about the user part but other stuffs I can fix back how it is.
I just wanna be sure I have backup on the forum mostly.
And I have gone into Admin CP and made a backup using GZIP compression.
Question is how do I actually use the existing tables for the new forum?
I thought of make a new folder named /forums and there in I put the new forum (currently forum is on /forum).
But how do I use the same tables?
I read http://docs.mybb.com/Database_Restore.html
But I don't understand
Well, I was gonna install the /forums but it prob overwrote my tables and well... now I can't even install MyBB forum at all even if I have edited the files on my FTP server. Weird..?
Ah well. I got it working cus I forgot i'd to go forum/install
well... now I can't recover my database of MyBB. I tried to import by phpMyAdmin but it's total fail.
