Recovering Subscribers

    I recently migrated a new site to my client’s existing domain. They were using the Subscribe2 widget on their old WordPress site and I was wondering if it is possible to recover that list of subscribers for the new site. I have a backup of the old site available though I’m not sure the subscribers actually moved with it.

    Cheers,

    @mtbuckets,

    Subscriber data is stored in 2 places and can be migrated.

    Public Subscribers are stored in a new tablet called ‘subscribe2’, you could just SQL export and import this table or just dump out the email addresses and then re-add them in Subscribe2->Subscribers in the Public subscribers tab.

    Registered Subscriber data is stored in the usermeta table and will be more difficult to move as there are lots of meta_key names. If you moved the user and usermeta table already then that data will be migrated. If not you’ll need to consider migrating those tables too but be careful not to over write your new user and usermeta table data.

    Great. I’m glad you managed to transfer your users.
