WordPress Upgrade with data migration

[Anonymous]

My foster does now provide the ability to upgrade from WordPress 4.9 to WordPress 5.0.

I’ve tested this upgrade but ended with a disabled EME where all my Events had been gone. Is there any way to migrate my old event data into the new version after such an upgrade or restore just EME from a backup?

regards

All EME data is stored in seperate database tables so to import all that from another installation:

– install the old EME on your new setup (just copy over the plugin directory) and activate it (to set up some entries in the WP tables concerning the plugin), then deactivate it again (maybe this activate/deactivate is not needed, but it can’t hurt)
– drop all EME tables on your new setup and import the ones from your old setup (by default these are the DB tables starting with wp_eme_)
– if you had attachments managed by EME, also copy over the directory wp-uploads/events-made-easy
– activate EME again, all should be there
– now update EME to the latest versioin
