Hi,

We've been developing an updated version of our site and are ready to put it live but we need to update the development site with the NEW POSTS created on the live site before putting that new dev site live. We only want to update the posts (+images). We have changed a lot of easyblog settings and the layout on the development site so we DO NOT want to update any of those items, ONLY THE POSTS.

I attach a screenshot of the database fields. Can you please confirm which database fields should/should not be updated?

Thanks in advance.
Hey Quentin,

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

I have a little bit lost here, do you mean you have 2 site right now?
#1. Development site (Added a lot of settings.)
#2. Live site (added a few blogs)
So now you would like to move this few new blog from live site to Development site first? Then only fully migrate all the post in your live site?

May i know your development site blog category and author id is it same as your live site?

Hi,

You are correct:
#1. Development site (Changed a lot of settings and created new layout)
#2. Live site (added new blog posts)

The blog category and author id is the same as the live site.

We want to migrate the new posts from the live site to the development site.

I need to know which tables to copy across.

Thank you

Hello Quentin,

Based on your screenshot, your site is using Easyblog 3.9? May I know what Easyblog version installed in your development site? If it is 5.0, you can't move the table from 3.9 to 5.0. The structure is different.

Hello,

It is a bit tricky to move over only posts to the other site. It might breaks your site due to tables relation. You can try to copy over #_easyblog_posts
#_easyblog_post_tag

Make sure to backup you site before proceed with the update.
