    Hi Nicola

    I use EA on our site, and all the settings and connections are made as they should. However we are renewing our site, and I would like to use EA at the new site also. Re-creating all the settings and connections at the new site is just too much work, not to mention putting all the existing appointments in the calendar manually.

    What could you suggest, would be the best and easiest way to do the migration? Copying mysql tables isn’t new for me, I just wanted to to check if there are some issues I should consider. The version of EA on the old site is 1.8.3; and the newest one on the new site.

    Hi Kaibijainen,

    easiest way would be to find 1.8.3 version in download section of plugin https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/easy-appointments/developers/ and install it on new site. From old site export all tables with _ea_ in table name and override tables of 1.8.3 version. After that just update to latest version of plugin.

    Best regards,
    Nikola

    Hi Nikola,

    thank you for your advice.

    I tried that : first I installed the 1.8.3 version from zip file. However, for some reason, it still installed as the newest one. I deleted the easy appointments folder, and uploaded the 1.8.3 folder instead. Now it was 1.8.3.
    Then I imported all the ea_tables.
    And the upgraded the plugin using wp-admin. It went well. BUT.
    In the EA settings of wp admin the Customize tab shows nothing.
    admin.php?page=easy_app_settings#custumize/

    Just empty page…

    Hi Kaibijainen,

    some settings are missing in ea_options table. Update to latest version of plugin after that you should see that page.

    Best regards,

    Hi Nikola,

    The problem is that I already have the newest version of plugin.

    Hi Kaibijainen,
    I had the same issue and the problem was in DB.

    this is the forum:
    https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/last-tab-customize-empty/

    in short:
    check table wp_ea_options for line 28, default.status|pending
    if this option is missing, just add and try. But for new instalation it should be fine.

    Thank you, @mdetko. Actually I had to add more than that. I also didn’t have pre.reservation and send.worker.email -rows in that table. But now I do and everything seems to work 🙂
    Thank you for the clue!
