Hi,

I need to salvage some work from an older project.

Will this work?

1) A clean install of 1.2.9
2) Drop all database tables
3) Import older database from a 1.2.7 version of MyBB

It seems to work so far, but

* Should the older database be compatible with 1.2.9?
* What if plugins were active on the old project, but now show 'inactive' in admin??

Any advice on if this 'should' work out OK?
Thank you.

After you import the database (I'm assuming you're doing this with phpMyAdmin or similar), run the MyBB upgrader to upgrade the database from 1.2.7 to 1.2.9.

If you restored the database correctly, the plugins that were enabled before the restore should be enabled already.
