Hello Chris Hall,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here.
That was no limit for it, because it should import all the feed into your new site if that feed haven't import in your new site before.
Is it possible provide us with your following details :
#1. New site Joomla backend and Cpanel access
#2. Old site Joomla backend and Cpanel access
May i know you would like import all the blog post from your old site to new site right?

Hi, access details attached.

I need to migrate all 422 posts from the J2.5 site to the new J3 site. Fulltext, assigned to General category and to the user Pastor Olabisi.

Thanks.

Hello Chris,

Can you provide us your cpanel access for both site so we can perform migrate thru database. Or you can do it if you want to. Just follow these steps:

To migrate from Joomla 2.5 to Joomla 3.0, here's 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
8. Enjoy blogging! If you have any problems at this point, drop us an email and we'll take a look at this.

Hope this helps.

Hi Nick,

I'm happy with working with phpmyadmin so I'll migrate across using that. Would've done that but wasn't sure if there were any structure changes with J2.5 to 3. Will let you know if it works!

Hello Chris,

Great! keep us updated then.

Hi, getting some errors that I can't seem to work round. Would you be able to login to the sites and have a look? CPanel details attached.

Thanks

Hello Chris,

I'm sorry but what error did you get and which site? By the way, I've tried to re-migrate for you but when I tried to access phpmyadmin for your old site (http://www.encouragedbygod.com/cpanel) I get this:

Access Denied
Unable to establish a PHP session.
If you believe that this is in error or inadvertent, contact your system administrator and ask them to review your server settings.

Can you export your database and email it to me at nikfaris [at] stackideas.com so I can import it to your new site. This is because, I've checked your new site's database and seems like not all Easyblog tables were migrated.

Hi Nick, the PHP session issue is because the site exceeded the disk quota. Should be sorted now but I've attached the sql dump for you to work with just in case.

There were a couple of errors which differed according to whether EasyBlog was installed on the new site. The instructions seemed to indicate that EasyBlog had to be installed on the new site at #7 which I never got to without erroring in the import.

I've reinstalled just in case.

Thank

hello Chris Hall,

Sorry for late reply to this,
I have help you migrated all the Easyblog data in your new site, but I noticed some of the user is not existed in your new joomla site.

because when you view your blog post from backend/frontend, it will show out the warning message unable to find out this user id.

If you would like all the blog post author convert to your Super User we can help you run a query to do it.

Hi Arlex and Nick,

Thank you so much for sorting this, your support is outstanding.

No need to change the authors as I can work through it.

Thanks

Chris
