G'day,

i plan to install a new server with a new URL and the newest Joomla only for blogging.
So i wish to do the following:

1.) Creating a new server with joomla 3.x and Easyblog (newest version)
2.) Import old Blogs into new server/Easyblog
3.) Use an modern art template.

Is this with Easyblog possible?
Yes, that is possible.

May i know what is your current Joomla version and Easyblog version from your old server?

Hello Heinz,

I would suggest that you first upgrade your current EasyBlog on your Joomla 2.5 site first. This is how it should be:

1. Upgrade current site to latest EasyBlog
2. Install latest Joomla 3.x on your new site
3. Install latest EasyBlog on Joomla 3.x site
4. Migrate the database for the blog posts across

Hope this helps!

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.x.

*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 5.0.37 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).

Now it's time to migrate and the first part is a problem...
I can't find a "migration tool" what migrates my Joomla 2.5 user on the old site to Joomla 3.x user on my new site.

Any help?

best regards
Heinz

hey there,

I've tried to Google regarding this user migration extension for Joomla, I found this extension -> https://extensions.joomla.org/extension/arra-user-migrate , to be honestly I never use these migration tool before, it would be best before you use this extension, you have to consult with this extension support and see what is the correct step to do this migration.

And I would recommended you try in your test environment site first before run the user migration from your live site, in case any happen, it will not affected with your live site.
