hello everybody,

i migrated my j1.5 site to 2.5.
i used sp ugrade.
then i migrated manually the K2 content (getk2.org/documentation/tips-a-tricks/311-manually-migrating-k2-content-from-joomla-15-to-17). after that i installed K2 on j2.5.

then i had to build the menu-links again, because they wont work anymore (they were linking to K2 tags and K2 content).
but when linking to a K2 Tag there will no articles displayed and when linking to an K2 article there is an error: "you need to login first".

can you help me what ive done wrong?
thanks in advance.

What happens when you log in?
You may need to check the acess field of the k2 items you created.
this may also be of help to you

as i wrote in my last post i migrated the K2 content manually with this article.


would be great if you have another idea what is going wrong.
perhaps a wrong step when migrating?

PS: if you want to have a look: migr.um-echtes-geld-spielen.com

...no idea?
any advice would be great! thanks in advance.

i did the migration from the beginning again and this time completely manually. (without using SP upgrade for the database).

but i have the same error.

i even cant save any k2 content/items/tags....
there is following error:

TableK2Category: :store fehlgeschlagen!

any advice would be great.
thanks.

its solved now.
there were two problems: i didnt have the same K2 Versions on J1.5. and J1.5.
J1.5. K2 was older. using the same versions (updating K2 J1.5.) helped solving my problem.

and this was why i couldnt save any tags/categories etc....

after i have solved this i was also able to change the access level of all categories (!).
the access level was not set.

Hi guys!
all these sings are good, but i heard about the automated migration..it takes a few minutes and no losses. to tell the truth it sounds fantastic and unreal but still, do you know some services of such migration?

Hi cale summer!

I migrated the site automatically, here is a link they'll provide you with such service! www.cms2cms.com/
