Hello,
My site was hacked and we have lost the functionality of our site. Fortuntately though there were some older backups. What I want to do is export the existing blog articles from the hacked site to the new site that I am rebuilding. Can you please help me do this? Thank you.

Regards,
Michael
Hello Michael,

You can follow these steps to export and import the Easyblog tables:

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.
