Hi,
I am creating a new Joomla 3 website in a subdomain to eventually replace my existing Joomla 2.5 website. The old site has EasyBlog 3.9.15790. The new site has EasyBlog 5.0.16.

I was wondering if there is an easy way to transfer my old EasyBlog posts with there comments, created dates, the author who wrote them, categories and number of hits, to the new site.

I can't give login information because it is a company private site.

Any help would be great. Thanks.
David
Hey David,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is actually a public day off for us here. Unfortunately right now there's no way to migrate from 3.9.x to 5.0.x on a different site. This is what would be best for you,

1. Export all the database tables that has a prefix of jos_easyblog_* from your 3.9 site.
2. Import these database tables on your new Joomla 3 site (You do not need to install EasyBlog 5 yet at this point)
3. Install EasyBlog 5 on the new Joomla 3 site to ensure the integrity of the database tables.

Thanks for the response (even on your day off. I appreciate it). I had already installed EasyBlog 5. I uninstalled EasyBlog5, but the database still shows the easyblog tables. How should I deal with that before importing the EasyBlog 3.9 tables?

One other issue. The old website has a prefix of jos, but the new website has a different prefix. Does that mean that I have to go into each file and replace "jos" with the new prefix?

Thanks

Hey David,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here. Do you have any data for your new site? If you don't what you can do is to delete the jos_easyblog_ tables of your new site first. Then re-import the 3.9 dump over

Yes, if you have a different prefix, just do a search / replace of the old table file names in the sql dump file and replace it accordingly
