I am running easy blog on a live site. I am currently in the process of migrating that site to joomla 3.4 in a development environment. I would like to be able to migrate my easy blog posts/pics/etc as well. Wouldn't I need an API code for the dev site in addition to my live site that will remain in place while developing new site. How would I accomplish this?
Hey David,

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 current Joomla version to Joomla 3.4.

*Backup your data first before perform migration
*Migrate all the current Joomla version user to Joomla 3.x first using 3rd party extension (make sure all the user id is same as current Joomla version)
*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).


Hope this help.

I'm attempting to move my EasyBlog over to a new site, which did all of the above and the backend doesn't load right along with the front end as well.

I'm kinda of at a loss, I've been at this for a good 5 hours trying to figure out what is causing the problem. Any suggestions would be great.

Blog Page looks like this: http://puu.sh/mg0tr/8ab6c45c23.jpg
Backend looks like this: http://puu.sh/mg0uw/5fa2b75ea2.png

Hey Fred,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here. It's most likely that:

1. There is an outdated plugin because of the "copy / pasting"
2. There could be an outdated module because of the "copy / pasting".

Here is some quick solutions:

1. Try to turn on error reporting to see if there are any error messages. If there is, try to identify which module / plugin and turn this off.

2. Disable plugins / modules if #1 doesn't display any error messages.

Well no error messages come up on the front end or backend, but I believe thats because its so broke that it doesn't get to that point of loading the page.

I've disabled all plugins and modules related to EB and still nothing.

***Updated**

The closest thing I can find to an error is through Chrome Console and it states EasyBlog is not defined: http://puu.sh/mgZd8/a00758029a.png
