MyBB Community Forums

Hi all,

So I ran into some big issues with my theme and forum and I would like to start fresh on a new domain. However, I would like it if important stuff like user info, posts etc where kept. In essence, everything except plugins and themes and styles. Is it possible? How would I do this? What files do I move?

You would backup your database via the AdminCP (AdminCP>Tools & Maintenance> Database Backups>New Backup) or through phpmyadmin. I would highly recommend going through phpmyadmin. Anyway, you would then select the tables you would like to backup (exclude all the ones you don't want).

You would then install the new forum software on the new host. Then go into phpmyadmin and delete all the tables and re-import your database.

thanks
