Restoring whole shop 2.3.0.2.2 to 3.0.3.2

Post by JanisCacis » Thu Dec 19, 2019 7:03 pm

Hello all,
We have active shop which is created on 2.3 (2.3.0.2.2) opencart version. Now we have created new show design using Journal3 on 3.0.3.2 opencart version.
And now we are having problem importing everything from active shop to new. When using default Backup & Restore tool I am usually having errors like

File could not be found!

or something like this
But when I am using Export/Import Tool it wont work anyways and usually getting errors like

Invalid header names

or that some categories for products arent defined or something.

I would like to know is there some more proper ways to Export and Import data from older version to newer?

We don't upgrade old version because there we have installed extensions whom's works only with 2.x versions ; )

Much easier.

1. upgrade active store to 3.0.3.2 then install Journal and import theme settings
2. Or you can use phpMyAdmin to transfer categories, products, brands (if import tool doesn't work), then you can use that tool to import customers, order...

So? You can disable them before upgrade if you don't use anymore on 3.x and old store.

But how @OSWorX said, better keep 2.3.0.2 until 3.1 release and maybe will be more stable then 3.0.x versions.

Love your sense of humor.

Why? Because 3.1 version can be or not to be stable?
