We are upgrading our site. In the new Joomla 3.3 site, we have version EasyBlog 3.9.15790. The old 1.5 Joomla site has EasyBlog 3.0.7164. There are a lot of posts, bloggers, comments, etc. This was well used. Is there any easy way to transfer this old info into the new site?

Your help is appreciated!
Hello Samantha,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here.
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 :

*Backup your data first before perform migration

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 3.3

**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).

If problem still persist please provide us with the .sql dump file, database access and FTP access so that I can check on the issues on your site? We actually need these information so that we can debug on your issues quickly.
