Hi! I am redesigning a website and will need to migrate easyblog to the new website. The current live website is http://www.popscrap.com and is joomla 2.x. The temporary development site is popscrap3.cloudaccess.net and once complete, will be pointing to http://www.popscrap.com.

Please direct me to instructions on how to migrate / transfer over the easy blog on the live site, to the development site. Thank you!!
Hello Brett,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here. As EasyBlog doesn't have an export / import functionality, what I normally advise users is to follow the guide below:

1. Open up PHPMyAdmin tool that is provided by your hosting provider and open up your current site's database (joomla 2.5).
2. In PHPMyAdmin export all the tables that has the prefix of jos_easyblog_*
3. Download the .sql file and save it on your desktop.
4. If your new site's database prefix also uses jos_ , 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.
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.

I assume this would be the same process for EasyDiscuss? And if so are we having to export each of the 52 different tables individually?

Yes, that's correct Justin When you click on the "Export" tab on phpmyadmin, you can selectively choose the tables that you want to export. You don't need to export Joomla tables across.

It looks like a nightmare.
Each professional blogging software has an import and export function built-in
