    Hello.  I have just gone through the upgrade process from EE1 to EE2 ... the site is all there and the control panel works just fine ... my issue right now is that the forum and wiki themes that I had coded for the EE1 site don’t seem to follow remotely the same file structure that EE2 uses.

    My question is this ... Is there any way to port a custom EE1 forum and wiki theme to EE2 WITHOUT having to recode it from scratch?  I do have the forums / wiki working right now with one of the new default themes but I can’t leave them like this.

    Any thoughts you have are greatly appreciated.

    I’m not sure if there is a better link, but here is a script that converts EE1 forums to EE2 (see bottom of the page).

    Andrew ... thanks for this link.  This is exactly what I was looking for.  Just ran the script and was able to get the forum back in action.  Much appreciated.

    The one outstanding issue I have now is doing the same for the wiki theme.  I just did a search for a similar kind of utility for the wiki themes but didn’t turn anything up.  If anyone has thoughts on the path forward there it would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Tunnel7,

    Glad to see Andrew was able to get you sorted on one of your issues. I am unaware of any utility to port an EE1 wiki to EE2. If you like I could move this thread to community support to see if someone else has an idea for you.

    Hi Sean.  No need.  I went ahead and redid the wiki theme in the new format.  All set now.
