1. Install ALL addons on new site that the old site has (even if youre not going to use them) The database needs ALL tables to be there so youll need the old plugins to do the merge.
2. Use the Xenforo importer found here https://enxf.cc/resources/xenforo-importers-1-5-2-released-xfi-2-2-enxf.60/
3. You must be able to connect to the OLD DB to do the import. Create a BACKUP of your DB in case the import fails you need to flush it and retry.
4. if you have Resources you need to place both your data and internal_data folders in old.yourwebsite.com folder in the root public directory to import all the resources and attachments.
