If you have a large community with data stored in BuddyBoss and wish to transfer it to mainflow, the process is simple and quick, requiring just a few clicks.
In this article, we’ll guide you through the steps to migrate your data from BuddyBoss to mainflow.
Manage Migration Settings #
To migrate your BuddyBoss data into mainflow, start by going to your mainflow dashboard. Click on the Settings button located at the bottom-right corner of the screen.
In the settings menu select Manage Migration from the left sidebar and you’ll find the Migrate Data from Other Plugins section. Here, you’ll see the BuddyBoss Module option. Simply click on it to initiate the migration process.
Once you access the BuddyBoss Module, you’ll see the BuddyBoss migration options.
Key Notes for Migration
Before proceeding, keep these important points in mind:
- Groups to Spaces
- BuddyBoss Groups will be added to mainflow as Spaces.
- Members Migration
- All Group Members in BuddyBoss will automatically become members of the corresponding Spaces in mainflow.
- All BuddyBoss Members will be imported into mainflow.
- Posts and Interactions
- All Posts from BuddyBoss will be migrated to mainflow.
- Comments and reactions associated with these posts will also be migrated.
- Profile Pictures and Avatars

These are the data elements that will be migrated during the migration process.
