Hi there,

other domain together with Licence

In order you to change this, can you provide us with your domain that you wanted to change? then our marketing people change them to you.
And what is the best way to do this? I'am ok to loose users, statistics, etc. Priority is forum categories, questions and answers.

I would advice you migrate your users into your new domain as most of questions/categories, and answers is related to each user as each categories, questions and answers have one author. And i afraid if you not migrate your existing user, your site will produce unexpected error.

I would suggest you to use one of joomla's extension as you can see here https://extensions.joomla.org/category/migration-a-conversion/users-import-a-export in order to migrate your user to your new domain. But, we cant recommend you the exact extension to be use as we also not very familiar with these extension. Maybe you can create a test/staging domain first and try to migrate them using extension above.


Then, for you to migrate your EasyDiscuss data, you can follow steps below.
NOTE: Please make sure you have BACKUP your site before start migrating the site.
NOTE: Make sure that all components, plugins and modules are at the latest version.
IMPORTANT! Make sure that the environment for both; development and live site, meets the technical requirement before proceeding

1. Export all your Easydiscus related table, that has prefix of #__discuss_*
NOTE: Please change the prefix #__ according to your database.
2. Download the exported tables .sql file and save it on your desktop.
3. Checks the database prefix for the new site. If the database prefix is the same with your old site/domain, you may skip this step. However, if the live site uses different database prefix, you'll need to edit the exported tables .sql file above and do a search and replace all database prefix accordingly.
4. Import your edited .sql file on steps 3, into your new site.
5. Then install latest Easydiscuss version on your site.

NOTE:
You have to also migrate all your media files as maybe your categories, questions and answers got attachments or images. The existing files for them is at ../media/com_easydiscuss/..

Hope this helps.
