I've been using MyBB for a few weeks as a test board. I was able to do a update from VB 4.25 with no real issue.
My question is is it possible to save all my settings from the test site and merge to the production board?
If your test board is already "online" on webhosting, then you can just imagine it is no more test but productive now
I guess it is on a local system and should be transferred to an online webhosting now!?
You can achieve this migration by:
1. Move all forum files (1-by-1 copy) from the current storage to your webspace.
2. Export the database and re-import on the new database online.
3. Edit ./inc/config.php with new database details (DB name, password etc)
That's it!
The forum system contains of files and database only.
Keep in mind folder permissions.

My test site is also on hosting.
My production site is still creating content so all of the new data, uploads, new users, etc will need to be merged into the test site.
I think I have start start fresh and lock the production site until the new one is ready.
Thanks
