I have a blog on joomla 2.5 at greenlawtexas.com and I have rebuild the website with joomla3.4 at greenlawtexas.com/joom3

When I finish updating greenlawtexas.com/joom3 I will be moving it to greenlawtexas.com

How do I keep the Easyblog posts that are currently in greenlawtexas.com (joomla 2.5) when I move the site to greenlawtexas.com/joom3 (joomla 3.4) and back to greenlawtexas.com (joomla3.4)

thank you
Yes, you can move all your post from J2.5 to J3.x. To migrate from Joomla 2.5 to Joomla 3.x, here are the steps that you need to perform.

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.

I already tried this, and it does not work because both of the easyblog databases are on the same URL. The new one (new easyblog and Joomla 3.4) is just in a folder of the older easyblog and Joomla 2.5.

Therefore, I would be downloading and uploading from the same PHPMyAdmin service in the same cPanel.
Help me please.

Hello Ray,

If you are using the same database for both site, you just need to make sure that the table prefix is the same for both which you can find the setting in your Joomla Global Configuration>Server. So that it can access the same table.

I must have misunderstood, because changing the prefix destroyed the entire site. - backup time.

Hello Ray,

Hm, sorry but I am actually a little lost here. Do you mean that they are both running on the same database and the same prefix? If that's the case, you really don't need to migrate anything at all since it's already on the same database?

I have different versions of EasyBlog in different folders of the same URL. The most recent version is in the most recent version of Joomla 3.4 and it does not connect to the earlier version's database.
How can I connect to the earlier database?

Hi Ray,

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

May i know this database -> (texaslaw_joom522) is under with your Joomla 2.5version right? Because I've tried to access but it seems like you provided that Joomla 2.5 Joomla backend login credentials is not working.

By the way, can I have permission to help you drop all the Easyblog table in your new database (texaslaw_joom359) and uninstall Easyblog in your site first? So that we will try help you migrate all the old Easyblog table over in your new database?

Also, can you make sure all your Joomla 2.5 User id is it all migrated in your Joomla 3.4?

If the user id is not same as your Joomla 2.5, so Joomla 3.4 unable to detect same user id in your blog post author id and throw out the error.
