Hi, I hope you can help me with this issue.
I have a live site which is running jomsocial with easy blog integrated, there are about 3,000 users, with about a quarter of them active using the site.

About one month ago, I cloned this live site, copied it into a sub directory, created a new database and have installed and integrated easysocial and jreviews, I then migrated all the users over from jomsocial, and then uninstalled jomsocial. I have also redesigned the site theme.

My problem is this - I would like to go live in about 2-3 weeks with the new site currently being developed, but in the past few weeks there have been new members registered on the live site, and about 40 or 50 new blog entries written too.
How can i get these new users and blogs onto the development site?

Hope you can advise/help!

best regards, and thanks for the continuing great response.
Hello Tom,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here. What I would strongly suggest you to do instead is to shut down the site for a couple of hours while you migrate the data over. It's quite difficult to just re-migrate these new sign ups as it would going to be extremely tedious.

Hi Marks thanks for the reply, I didn't expect one so quickly at the weekend.
So If I shut the live site for a short period and then manually copy the user details all of the newly registered users from that site over to the new development site.
I would then recreate the blogs and articles manually as well?

Thanks, do you know if there is any quicker way for me to do this?

thanks for the help,
Tom.

Hello Tom,

Yes, that's correct but it's best to shut down the site temporarily while you migrate instead to avoid any issues.
