May i know which part category structure you referring?

the one that can be created/edited from the dashboard, between custom fields and comments.

I've attached a few screenshot at below. Is it from the backend Easyblog category and custom field page?

Only EB category, not using custom fields groups

I got what your mean now, can i ask a few question?

1. Do you mean you have create a few new categories from your dev site and configure some of the setting from each new category?

2. May i know is it got any new blog post create in these new categories?

Hi Alex,

I have created 2 new categories on the dev site and moved posts to them, instead of ONE general category I now have TWO categories on the dev site.

On the dev site existing posts are categorized

When I want to sync the content on the dev site with the latest from the live site I have to do a new migration, as per our previous discussion.

To preserve the new layout and settings etc from the dev site i export the settings to settings json

then I do a new migration from live site to dev site to make them equal again. When I import settings again, the layout etc will be imported but the newly created categories are not and all posts are back into one general category again.

It's not a super-huge problem but when I do the transition to live I will have to re-create the categories manually again and allocate / move all posts to the new categories again ... extra work

bad luck no problem.
it might be something for you to look at in some new version. As I think I am not the only one that wants to copy blog-posts from one site to another...

Thanks for understand Julius.
