Hi,

The life site safka.co.nz is being updated from joomla v3 to v5.

This is being done on a dev site: internet4success.co.nz which I have updated to joomla v5
Both life and dev are using hikashop v5.1.5

Since life site is still receiving orders and customers - how do I go about copying hikashop from life to dev site?

I understand I need to:
1/ export "hikashop" tables from live site to dev site. Adjust the table prefix if needed.
2/ Copy images from life site to dev in the following folders:
images/com_hikashop/upload
and
media/com_hikashop/upload/safe
There is some confusion on these 2 folders as I get different information depending upon where I am looking.

Is this correct am I missing anything?

Thanks
Henk

Hi,

You need to check the "upload folder" and "upload secure folder" settings of the HikaShop configuration:
www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/5...nfig.html#main_files
These are the folders you need to migrate.
Since you can potentially change them in the configuration, I can't say for sure if the default ones you found in other threads are the ones you need to migrate on your website. So check the settings and migrate the folders in them accordingly.
