Hello Max and thanks for your reply! Looks like I don’t have export/import feature, if you mean iFolders Settings. Backing up and restoring wp_ifolders will work?
Weird, the settings should look like this (see image below).
You can try with the tables, but I can’t promise it’ll work. Back up everything first! Just install a new WordPress site, move the tables over, and test.
Looks like I have some really ancient version then. I have a site made by local company, which is gone and iFolders wasn’t updated since then. Will need to update to some newer version and try again to export the folders.
I’m trying to install any version of iFolders prior to 2.9.0 to do export. When I’m installing any it deactivates extension, so I’m unable to go to Settings – Tools. How do I have any version that supports export prior to 2.9.0 activated to do it? — It looks like you have an old version of iFolders installed. To use this new version, you must uninstall the old version completely and delete it with all data, because the new version is incompatible with the previous ones. Don’t forget to back up your plugin data if necessary. You can delete these data here right now or if you have any questions, please contact our support team.
Delete all data of the old version of iFolders and activate the new version.

I tried versions starting 1.3.1 up to 2.9.0. Version 1.6.5 allows export to JSON, but versions starting 2.0.0 do not activate until I update to 2.9.0. Version 2.9.0 imports only CSV files. When I convert JSON to CSV version 2.9.0 gives me error and doesn’t import…
There is one way, but I’ll need to make some minor adjustments to the import functionality, as the current implementation (iFolders v.2.9.0) turns out to depend on the order of folders in a csv file.
In this case, however, you’ll only be able to import the folder tree structure without attachments linked to those folders.
Thanks! It works for the folders, but doesn’t work for the files, unfortunately. Will I be able to manually add files from JSON to CSV to import again for the files?
I’m a bit confused about the files. As you can see, the final CSV has an “attachments” column, that’s exactly the files attached to the directory, specifically their IDs and the actual files themselves should already be present in the destination WP database.
When I do export in 2.9.0 with imported folders structure and then manually add document numbers to some lines it works! ,attachment,,0, – what 0 does here?
