Ask a Question

Hello.
I have a Joomla web site I created a few years ago using NicePage.
http://MyPhotoBooth.ca
I have to move it to a different server.
I have Joomla 4 installed on the new server but cant figure out how to move the content from the live server to the new Joomla server.
I tried to install the nicepage plugin on the new Joomla administrator but it just fails with "Error"

So heres what I think I need to do:
(lines with ??? mean I dont know how.)

Please see if this makes sense of if I am out to lunch.

  1. Purchase NicePage license (Done)
  2. Install NicePage Desktop App on my computer (DONE)
  3. Export site content from current server (????????)
  4. Import content into new site on NicePage app (using zip file from step 3 ????)
  5. Update site using NicePage app
  6. Export site from Desktop App as a Joomla extension
  7. Install exported extension on new server which should give me the Nicepage extension and the site on the new server.

Hello Bill,

Thanks for contacting us

Unfortunately, it will not be easy if you don't have a project file in the Nicepage Desktop app or the Online Builder.

Make a backup file before you proceed.
Since you have an older version and the export of the blocks was released on the Nicepage station 3.12v, you need to update your Nicepage extension on your old website.

After that, you can export blocks from your old website and import them into the Nicepage Desktop app.

Redesign the website if necessary, export, and upload to your Joomla 4x.

Let us know the result

Thanks for the info.
Since this was a fairly simple 2 page website, I just recreated it and made some changes as well.
About half done.
