						Thought I could wriggle out of this easily by deleting the column and the reference to it but the values don't add up on import. As I do not know sql in details I can't get past this, unless I do not import members. Unsuccessful! This query:     SELECT     id_member, member_name, date_registered, posts, id_group, lngfile, last_login,     real_name, unread_messages, unread_messages, new_pm, buddy_list, pm_ignore_list,     pm_prefs, mod_prefs, message_labels, passwd, email_address, personal_text,     gender, birthdate, website_url, website_title, location, hide_email, show_online,     time_format, signature, time_offset, avatar, pm_email_notify,     usertitle, notify_announcements, notify_regularity, notify_send_body,     notify_types, member_ip, member_ip2, secret_question, secret_answer, 1 AS id_theme, is_activated,     validation_code, id_msg_last_visit, additional_groups, smiley_set, id_post_group,     total_time_logged_in, password_salt, ignore_boards,     IFNULL(warning, 0) AS warning, passwd_flood,     pm_receive_from AS receive_from     FROM padding_smf .elk_members     LIMIT 0, 500; Caused the error:     Unknown column 'pm_receive_from' in 'field list'

						Could you also post the original query that you modified?

						Are you saying that your SMF 2.0.11 install does not have a  pm_receive_from column in the members table ?

						The opposite I think. Caused the error:     Unknown column 'pm_receive_from' in 'field list' The import failed with that message.

						I tried removing it to see if the importer would continue but ran into problems. I do not know the sql query to delete it properly and remove the value from each users data.

						I'm going to run a quick test on a 2.0.11 to see if I get the error.  Looking quickly that error should mean the importer can't find the    pm_receive_from column in your SMF members table.  Since importing members is mandatory, it stops at that point.

						I have a sneaky feeling that a 'pm' column was dropped or emptied (after some trouble). Maybe the column with the pm texts. I'm not sure as it happened quite a long time ago and cannot get hold of the person now. Maybe you can see straight away if one is missing, for me I would need to set up a new install and compare.

						If its missing, you should be able to add it back with phpmyadmin or adminer.   Just add a new tinyint column named pm_receive_from with a default value of 1 to your smf_members table.  That should be easier than trying to adjust the importer code

						It is only a test site so not important. After deleting the line in xml 2.0 importer file I got another error about 'like' posts. So I went back to the advanced options and unchecked several  things that I thought were not essential ('like' posts, anything about PMs etc), and it worked.  Its all working now....
