Problem importing tables from an old database

Post by dafaher » Fri Apr 09, 2021 1:48 am

Good evening, community! Sorry to bother you. I don't know if I can post this here as it's about Joomla 4.

I'm developing a site for Joomla 4 in local mode, using Xampp. I already installed Joomla, but I need to import the content of some tables from a Joomla 3 database: users, categories, menu and content. They were all exported and imported successfully through phpmyadmin.
The users, categories and menus appear perfectly, but I can't see the content in the articles section and I don't know why. The 39 articles are correctly listed in phpmyadmin, and if I check the categories list on Joomla 4, it says that it contains 39 elements. But when I want to see the articles they just don't show up.
I unlocked the tables, corrected the database, but nothing changes.

Did something similar happen to someone? I've done this same procedure many, many times, but this is my first time on Joomla 4 and maybe I missed something. Thank you in advance for any suggestions you can provide. Best regards!

Did you try migrating from Joomla 3.x to Joomla 3.10 and then Joomla 4? Try this:

https://docs.joomla.org/Joomla_3.x_to_4 ... _Migration

If it works it may be the quickest solution.

Hi @ceford, thank you very much for your answer and for sharing that link. I was looking for documentation on Joomla before posting here, but hadn't seen any of that. This weekend I will get to work, thank you very much!
