OMG, what a great product you guys pulled ! Really fresh Congrats !

Quick question:
I updated the old EasyBlog version to EB5 and everything seems to be working perfect except that for "old" blog posts.

It seems that for old blog posts the "blocks" feature is not activated and also those post load up with the old WYSIWYG editor.


How can i "migrate" those post into the new version ? I am interested in particular in the gallery feature, the "old" gallery mode (folders of pictures inserted into blog post as "gallery" thru the old media manager, old way of doing it ) is not working anymore and all that shows up is a shortcode

Any solution on how can i re-apply the gallery feature for old post into EB5 ? Thx !
Hi Mist,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here.

By default, if those blog post was created from old WYSIWYG editor, so it will use back the old WYSIWYG editor when you edit the post.

You can temporary download my attachment file and replace in /administrator/components/com_easyblog/includes/gallery/gallery.php
it should fix those blog post which included that gallery image.
For the new blog in Easyblog 5, you can select the gallery block for achieve this.
