I currently have a site that has been using easyblogger for a very long time, since joomla 1.5. I need to upgrade the site to 3.0. Because there does not seem to be a way to really upgrade from Joomla 1.5 to 3.0 I am installing a new joomla 3 and then installing all the updated components I currently use, and either redoing everything or importing tables from the database. I read on these forums somewhere that I could install easyblog on the joomla 3 site, then import my joomla 1.5 database and everything will be fine as long as I change my jos_ table names before importing, which I did. But then when I add easyblog to the menu I get this page:

This tells me that just importing your old easyblog database tables to a joomla 3 site isn't the correct process. I really need to upgrade the site and Easyblog is the CORE of everything else on the site. Thanks for any guidance you can provide, I have been at this every day for a week, hours a day. Installing and uninstalling.
Hello Chad,

Did you try this following instruction?

Ideally, it's best that you create an export dump through phpmyadmin and export the tables over. Here's the general guideline that you could use and it is also what we used previously when we migrated from Joomla 1.5 to Joomla 3.x
*Backup your data first before perform migration

1. Open up PHPMyAdmin tool that is provided by your hosting provider and open up your current site's database.
2. Make a sql dump for all the tables that has the prefix of #__easyblog_*
3. Download the .sql file and save it on your desktop.
4. If your new site's database prefix also uses the same prefix , then you can skip this part. However, if you are using a different database prefix, you'll need to edit the .sql file that you've just downloaded, and do a search and replace of jos_ with your new database prefix.
5. Open your PHPMyAdmin and this time, open up your new site's database.
6. You should see an import link at the top. Click on that, and click on browse. Select the .sql file and click the run import button.
Note : 7. Install the latest EasyBlog on your new site Joomla 3.x

**migrate additional - if your blog post have including the image file, you have to do this step as well.
That was to copy over the image and media files associated with EasyBlog (e.g. the "/images/easyblog_avatar", "/images/easyblog_images", "/images/easyblog_shared", and the "/media/com_easyblog" folders and all of their contents).

If problem still persist please provide us with the .sql dump file, database access and FTP access so that I can check on the issues on your site? We actually need these information so that we can debug on your issues quickly.

Thanks, I did try that. However I did the database import after I had already installed the new version of easyblog. Maybe I need to start over and import the database FIRST then install easyblog last, as step 7. I'll update on the progress after I do that.

Hello Chad LaGrone,

Sorry for late reply to this,
Yes, based on your situation now, you have to delete all the easyblog table from your database and uninstall the Easyblog component and the Easyblog file.
Then import the SQL in your new database first, the last step only install the Easyblog. Hope this help.
