Alternative to EasyBlog

[trogladyte]

I've used EB for years, but recently, they sold out to another company. Since then, support has been poor. Currently, the component is throwing multiple errors every time a post is viewed. The error log is growing at around 0.25Mb every view, meaning, for busy sites, it can get to 1-3Gb in no time at all. I've been asking for a fix for over 3 months and they keep "fixing" it, but it never does. So over this.

What is everyone else using for blogs (on Joomla 5)?

Hi,

Would you be so kind as to share your approach for transferring content in the scenario where an alternate extension is available, considering the absence of a migration feature from EasyBlog?

Thanks

Hadn't thought too far ahead on that. I have a clever SQL friend who can probably write a script to do it. Not as elegant as a purpose-built importer, but it'll only be a oncer.

Well, since Joomla has tag functionality, maybe is it enough to use standard Joomla articles?
Social share buttons and image plugins can be added too. If there is another features that need to be presented like "vote for article", then it's possible to find such a plugin.
