Hi
I have updated my blog to the last joomla version and also installed the last EasuBlog,
Unfortunatelly the updating procedure from joomla 2.5 to 3.6 was not successfull so I have installed all from scratch.

My question is:
It is possible to export/import blog articles + tags in the new blog?
I was thinking about a SQL command

Could you help me?
Hi Giulia Magnesa

Ideally, it's best that you create an export dump through phpmyadmin and export the tables over. Here's the general guideline that you could use and it is also what we used previously when we migrated from Joomla 2.5 to Joomla 3.6.

*Backup your data first before perform migration
*Migrate all the Joomla 2.5 user to Joomla 3.x first using 3rd party extension (make sure all the user id is same as Joomla 2.5)
*Don't Install Easyblog in your new site.

1. Open up PHPMyAdmin tool that is provided by your hosting provider and open up your current site's database.
2. Make a sql dump for all the tables that has the prefix of #__easyblog_*
3. Download the .sql file and save it on your desktop.
4. If your new site's database prefix also uses the same prefix , then you can skip this part. However, if you are using a different database prefix, you'll need to edit the .sql file that you've just downloaded, and do a search and replace of jos_ with your new database prefix.
5. Open your PHPMyAdmin and this time, open up your new site's database.
6. You should see an import link at the top. Click on that, and click on browse. Select the .sql file and click the run import button.
Note : 7. Install the latest EasyBlog on your new site Joomla 3.x

**migrate additional - if your blog post have including the image file, you have to do this step as well.
That was to copy over the image and media files associated with EasyBlog (e.g. the "/images/easyblog_avatar", "/images/easyblog_images", "/images/easyblog_shared", and the "/media/com_easyblog" folders and all of their contents).

Hey there,

I am sorry for the delay of this reply,

I have just installed the new EasyBlog could I make the import? or do I have to un-install EasyBlog?

As I'm not SQL expert could you providem the command to make a sql dump for all the tables with prefix #__easyblog_* ?

Yes, you have to uninstall Easyblog from your new site and all the Easyblog table from your database.
Once you import all the old Easyblog table into your new database, then you only can install Easyblog in your new site, so that all of your old blog post data can sync with your site.

The table prefix you have to follow back what is your new site database table prefix and replace all in your sql dump file.

By the way, glad to heard you found out the solution from other thread.

As a gentle reminder, kindly start a new thread if you have any other issue in the future so it will be easier for us to manage your inquiry. I will lock and mark this thread as resolved.
