Hi,

I have a forum which is using SMF script and hosted at a2hosting. I want to transfer the forum script of SMF to MYBB. Is there any tool for that? 

Or do I need to install a new MyBB forum and then creating all the boards and topics again from zero and invite the current members to the new MyBB forum?
Take a look at MyBB Merge System

Haven't done any merger/transfer before. Feeling confused. 

Is there any video tutorial for this?

I have read this: https://docs.mybb.com/1.8/merge/running/

But I guess this post is about updating the previous version of mybb to the latest version. Whereas I wanted to convert my SMF forum into MyBB forum...

Use MyBB merge system, it is also for converting it from other forum software to MyBB,

It is the correct tool mentioned by @Mipher
If you feel worried, hire someone to do it for you. I am sure there are many who will help you out for a small fee.

And what would be the fee if I hire someone? Should I post a new thread for this purpose?

BTW, what I understand from the page provided above is that...

I have to install the merger script on a sub-directory of the forum directory. And then I need to go through all the steps.

My forum is https://www.amps.edu.pk/forum so, should I install the merger script in /forum/merger ??

In /forum (the link of my forum that I provided above has SMF forum installation.

If you feel comfortable and can afford a reasonable fee, then post your request for the merging in this FORUM.
