if it was free yes

yes - it is not free... but maybe soon - BoonEx will release their upgrade script and you can try theirs - which should be free (but usually has some bugs)/

The problem with yours, unless I am missing something, is that you are only importing the Profiles table - and not doing anything at all with ProfilesDesc.

Also - what about all the other data? Messages and so on... all lost.

I don't think, free or not, it is a good option in it's current version.

Or maybe you can clarify it for me if I am missing something while reading your post/instructions.

I think paying 250$ is much worse and a waste of money.. but opinions

and if people want to preserve the other data they just need to backup tables and import them.. that tutorial only teaches to upgrade main things.. that are login.. photos.. and some of the data.

For anyone doing the manual upgrade from 5.6 to 6.x... you'll need to upload the media table from version 5.6 mysql thru phpmyadmin also, so that the profile pictures appear.

Pain in the butt, but works as described in this thread... thanks guys!

this script allows you to encrypt all user password and users still keep their original password.

I fixed the link.... in general, please "open a ticket" with details about your current version, number of users, and any modifications (template or otherwise) that you would need re-installed / upgraded into the new version.

Warm regards,

Smoge
