Importing Wordpress users to SMF user database (not integration)

[k12onos]

Hi guys,

Firstly I hope I didn't make a mistake posting this here. This has nothing to do with integration so I purposely didn't post this in the integration forum.


I have a WordPress site that I'm going to throw away. I'm replacing it with a stand alone SMF (new install). Now I want to import the wordpress users to SMF. What I want to do is simply let user login to SMF using their same WordPress username and password (and keep their emails too).

I know I would need to meddle with the MySQL databases, but I have some doubts..

The logic that I have now is this:

-> Copy the username and email database tables of WordPress users to the relevant/equivalent database tables in SMF.


Will that work just fine?


And as for the password:

As far as I know wordpress stores the user password in somekind of encryption. Will user be able to login using their normal WordPress password if I just simply copy the content of the password tables? I would really prefer so users do not have to reset their passwords, is there someway to do this?



I hope anyone can help me or give me some pointers. I would really appreciate it, thanks!

download the phpBB converter (or any other) from the downloads page and extract it, you need the file named convert.php.
Then download wordpress3_to_smf.sql from my github account:
https://github.com/eurich/smf_converters
upload both files to your SMF folder and follow this guide:
