Greetings.

I read the informative post: https://stackideas.com/docs/easyblog/administrators/migrations/migrating-easyblog-to-different-site about migrating EasyBlog,

I already installed EasyBlog on the new site and the post suggests to do it after the migration of the content.

Will it still work, or should I uninstall EasyBlog first?

Thanks so much.
Hi Jeff,

It is still working, but the step will be quite different,
As you've already install EasyBlog, all easyblog table was already generated in the new site's database.
You need to remove the easyblog table in the new site and import the old table, and you're good to go

Thanks so much for your reply. I am still in development and haven't added any content at all to EasyBlog. Is it easier simply to uninstall EasyBlog and follow the first steps described? I have zero experience with databases. .. .

Thanks.

Hi Jeff,

If you want to follow the steps in the documentation, you need to uninstall EasyBlog in the backend first and then remove/drop easyblog table #__easyblog_* ONLY in the database.

Uninstall EasyBlog:
1. Go to Extensions>Manage>Manage Search for EasyBlog and display it all.
2. Select all and uninstall https://www.screencast.com/t/Gg7OmjocilV

Drop #_easyblog_* table
1. Go to your site database
2. Search for easyblog's table and drop it https://www.screencast.com/t/EvPiK2dzqhH

Now you can follow the documentation steps from beginning

P/s: we strongly suggest to backup your site beforehand.
