What is the best way to move blog posts from one EasyBlog install to another? Moving to Joomla 3 and I cant find any updater that will do this. The Joomla updater ***** so thats not an option...
Hello Kevin,

You can follow these steps to migrate over your Easyblog from one site to another.

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 #__ , 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 #__ 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.
7. Install the latest EasyBlog on your new site

Hope this helps.

Thanks Nick, that is what I did. I thought maybe since there was an easy way to import from other blog tools there would be one for EB to. No worries but would be a cool feature for a future release.
